Hi,
Has anyone used this website before? Found the quizzes interesting and practical but am unable to gain access to the answers. Searched the whole website but no contact details.

Appreciate any feedback.
Thks.

RE: Q&A - P5 English
I do agree with you.
My elder daughter is now in Sec 2 and guess what … the confusion gets worst! And she thought learning through “key words” were a thing of the past … remember PSLE Science … Yup … it happens with Summary and definition of words / phrases in passages at secondary level as well!
With the recent newspaper articles on Speak Plain English … maybe they should start with taking a good hard look at how English is taught in our education system. What exactly is the expectation for English and the knowledge and skill they want to impart?
You sometimes wonder if in their over-eagerness to always be looking at “improvements”, have they missed the forest for the trees? -

Could the answer be:
Not having been attentive during the lesson, we could not complete the task. -
RE: Q&A - P5 English
So sorry … this Synthesis / Transformation question as well.
Qn: Mr Tan has an important appointment. He has to cancel the trip with his family.
Ans: ___________________ SO ________ THAT ____________________________________
Given Ans: Mr Tan’s appointment is SO important THAT he has to cancel the trip with his family.
Is this answer possible as well?
Mr Tan has to cancel the trip with his family SO he can attend THAT important appointment.
Thank you. -
RE: Q&A - P5 English
These 2 questions as well:
Let it Go! Let it Go! But, you can’t let it go 1) _____ your head. If you’re like half the people on Earth, the song “Let it Go” has been playing on repeat in your mind since you either saw Frozen, or walked 2) ____ any public place that has a radio on.
1) a) from, b) in
2) a) into, b) by
Thank you. -

RE: Q&A - P5 English
Hi,
What the teachers noticed were the smiles. In other words, the subject of this sentence is the “smiles”. Hence, it should be “were”. Ask yourself what is the subject in the sentence and you will reduce a lot of confusion.
Hope this helps. -
RE: O-Level Additional Math
Thank you so much! It is very clear now.
BTW, is there a way for a child to see and immediately tell that equations given are dependent or independent, like some kind of rule of thumb thingy? Unlike this example where the dependence was quite easy to visualise, not sure if there are such “tricks” or “tips” to help a child for more complicated examples.
Thanks again! -

MathIzzzFun:
My apologies, MathIzzzFun. I may have caused some confusion with my unclear question.
255/7 = 36R3, B = 36Alarmchain:
Yes, that was what I did.
But I was wondering how the same values for A, B and C can be gotten from the 3 simultaneous equations.
Thanks.
304/7 = 43R3, C = 43
or with A = 24 and
1) B - A = 12
2) C - B = 7
you can also get B= 36, C = 43
cheers.
With 3 unknowns, we usually can find the unknowns using algebra, if we have 3 simultaneous equations.
In this instance, the 3 equations were:
1) B - A = 12
2) C - B = 7
3) C - A = 19
Yes, if we know that A= 24, we can substitute it into equations 1 and 2 to find the values of B and C. However, we got A by doing 171 / 7 first, which is perfectly ok for this problem.
But my question is, are we able to find A, B and C with just the above 3 simultaneous equations, without resorting to finding any one of them initially, by using 171 / 7 or 255 / 7 or 304 / 7.
Very sorry, my question is not just about this problem per se, but to correct a possible misunderstanding on my part, that Y unknowns can be found if we have Y number of simultaneous equations.
If it cannot be done, does it mean that when solving unknowns using simultaneous equations, it is not always true that all the Y unknowns can be found even if we have Y number of simultaneous equations given.
Again, very sorry for any confusion caused. -
