Q&A - PSLE Math

[N3SKiasu]

The Speed question (if my DD remembered correctly):


Mei and Lin take part in a cycling race.
Mei’s speed is 20km/h. When Lin travelled half of the distance, Mei was 3.5km in front of her.
Mei reached finishing line at 10.45am.
What time did Lin reach the finishing line?

Similar feedback - paper was tough, finished all but not a lot of time left to check through. Anyway, its over now, just move on and focus on next few papers.

I’m Jamie, child of my mum’s account XD


PSLE Maths was tough for me. I was able to answer all the questions, though. For the angles/geometry one, most of my classmates got 120, 135 or 150. I used guess & check at first, but then used ratio and got 120. Anyone used ratio & got that too?
