Question 11 mark

Answer: B. 30 seconds

  1. Multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30. Multiples of 15: 15, 30. The first number in both lists is 30, so 30 seconds.

Tests M3.1.3 Multiples and factors

Question 21 mark

Answer: C. 4

  1. 6 + 8 = 14, and the next digit sum in the 9 times table is 18, so the last digit is 18 − 14 = 4.

Tests M3.1.4 Quick tests for dividing

Question 31 mark

Answer: A. 717 boxes

  1. 6 × 717 = 4 302, and 4 307 − 4 302 = 5 left over, so 717 full boxes.

Tests M3.2.4 Short division

Question 41 mark

Answer: D. 12.04 seconds

  1. All four times have 12 whole seconds. Compare the tenths: 12.04 has 0 tenths, and the others have 4, 4 and 1. So 12.04 seconds is the smallest, the fastest.

Tests M3.3.4 Tenths, hundredths and thousandths

Question 51 mark

Answer: C. 9 cm

  1. Multiplying by 100 moves each digit two places to the left: 0.09 × 100 = 9 cm.

Tests M3.3.5 Adding and taking away decimals

Question 61 mark

Answer: D. 80°

  1. The three angles add to 180°. 50° + 50° = 100°, and 180° − 100° = 80°.

Tests M3.5.3 Triangles

Question 71 mark

Answer: A. 144°

  1. The angle sum is (10 − 2) × 180° = 1 440°. Each angle is 1 440° ÷ 10 = 144°.

Tests M3.5.4 Angles in polygons

Question 81 mark

Answer: B. 60 000 cm²

  1. 3 × 2 = 6 m², and 1 m² = 10 000 cm², so 6 × 10 000 = 60 000 cm².

Tests M3.6.3 Area of rectangles

Question 91 mark

Answer: A. 16

  1. The total is 5 × 14 = 70. The four known scores add to 12 + 15 + 9 + 18 = 54, so the fifth is 70 − 54 = 16.

Tests M3.7.3 Mean, median and mode

Question 101 mark

Answer: B. April had 16 mm more rain than March.

  1. Read the scale, not the bar lengths: 80 − 64 = 16 mm more rain in April.

Tests M3.7.5 Line graphs and honest charts

Question 111 mark

Answer: D. 5p + 7q

  1. The p terms: 7p − 2p = 5p. The q terms: 3q + 4q = 7q. So 5p + 7q.

Tests M3.8.3 Collecting like terms

Question 121 mark

Answer: C. 5x + 20

  1. 5 × x = 5x and 5 × 4 = 20, so 5x + 20.

Tests M3.8.4 Brackets

Question 132 marks

Answer: 5 primes

  1. Cross out the multiples of 2, 3, 5 and 7. The numbers left are 61, 67, 71, 73 and 79.
  2. That is 5 primes.

Tests M3.1.5 Prime numbers

Question 142 marks

Answer: 9 324 pencils

  1. Ones row: 148 × 3 = 444. Tens row: 148 × 60 = 8 880 (a 0 holds the ones place).
  2. Add the rows: 444 + 8 880 = 9 324 pencils.

Tests M3.2.3 Long multiplication

Question 153 marks

Answer: 8 mangoes

  1. Start with 85. 36 × 2 = 72, and 85 − 72 = 13. Bring down the 4 to make 134. 36 × 3 = 108, and 134 − 108 = 26.
  2. Bring down the 0 to make 260. 36 × 7 = 252, and 260 − 252 = 8.
  3. So 237 full crates are packed, and 8 mangoes are left over.

Tests M3.2.5 Long division

Question 162 marks

Answer: 10 pieces

  1. Dividing by 1/12 is the same as multiplying by 12, so work out 5/6 × 12.
  2. 5/6 × 12 = 10 pieces.

Tests M3.3.3 Multiplying and dividing fractions

Question 172 marks

Answer: 60 litres

  1. 5 + 3 = 8 parts, so one part is 96 ÷ 8 = 12 litres.
  2. The larger tank has 5 parts: 5 × 12 = 60 litres.

Tests M3.4.3 Sharing in a ratio

Question 182 marks

Answer: 4 cm

  1. The two shorter sides together must be longer than the longest side. The third side plus 4 must be more than 7, so it is more than 3 cm.
  2. The shortest whole number of centimetres is 4 cm.

Tests M3.5.5 Drawing with ruler and compasses

Question 192 marks

Answer: 162 cm²

  1. The area of a parallelogram is base × height. The slanted side is not used.
  2. 18 × 9 = 162 cm².

Tests M3.6.4 Area of triangles and parallelograms

Question 202 marks

Answer: 8 minutes

  1. Range of A: 24 − 21 = 3. Range of B: 31 − 20 = 11.
  2. B is more spread out. The ranges differ by 11 − 3 = 8 minutes.

Tests M3.7.4 Comparing two groups

Question 212 marks

Answer: 40

  1. Dividing by 5 is undone by multiplying by 5, so multiply both sides by 5.
  2. x = 8 × 5 = 40.

Tests M3.8.5 Solving equations in one step

Question 222 marks

Answer: 13

  1. Put x = 6 into the rule: y = 3 × 6 − 5.
  2. k = 18 − 5 = 13.

Tests M3.9.4 From a rule to a line

Question 237 marks

(a)Answer: 112 m²

  1. Read the sides from the grid: 8 squares and 6 squares are 16 m and 12 m, and the height is 4 squares, or 8 m.
  2. Area = (16 + 12) ÷ 2 × 8 = 14 × 8 = 112 m².

Tests M3.6.5 Trapeziums and joined shapes

(b)Answer: 224 kg

  1. The plot is 112 square metres. Each square metre needs 20 ÷ 10 = 2 kg, and 48 ÷ 24 gives the same, so the amounts are in direct proportion.
  2. The whole plot needs 112 × 2 = 224 kg.

Tests M3.4.5 Direct proportion

(c)Answer: (3, 2)

  1. The hose is the flat line y = 2, so 2 = x − 1 and x = 3. They cross at (3, 2).

Tests M3.9.5 Lines like x = 3 and y = −2

(d)Answer: No. A reflection in the y axis changes only the sign of the across number. The corner goes to (−6, 4), not (6, −4).

  1. Says No, because a reflection in the y axis changes only the sign of the across number.
  2. Gives the right image, (−6, 4).
