2A group of friends earns £80 by washing cars.
They share the money equally.
They get £16 each.
How many friends are in the group?-
(5)
1 mark(s)Correct
Incorrect
Hint
Could you work out the answer if they got £8 each? It would be 80 divided by 8. Ok then. £16 is twice £8, so the group must be half that size, for them to get twice as much money.

3. Question
3Chen uses these digit cards.She makes a 2-digit number and a 1-digit number.She multiplies them together.Her answer is a multiple of 10What could Chen’s multiplication be?-
(9) (5, 6)x (6, 5)
1 mark(s)Correct
Incorrect
Hint
When you multiply two numbers, you can work out last digit of the answer by multiplying just the last digits of the two numbers and looking at the last digit of that. Example: 325 x 3 ends in a five because 5 x 3 = 15.
Chen has made a 2-digit number and a single-digit number to multiply, and her answer ends in a zero. We know that, because every number which is a multiple of ten ends in a zero. Examples: 10, 50, 120.So concentrate on finding the last digits. The digits to choose from are 5, 6 and 9. Which ones, multiplied together, give an answer that ends in a zero?

4. Question
4This graph shows the temperature in °C from 2 am to 3 pm on a cold day.How many degrees warmer was it at 3 pm than at 3 am?-
(7)°C
1 mark(s)Correct
Incorrect
Hint
You can do this in two ways. Either:
1) On a sheet of paper, write down the temperature at 3am. Then write down the temperature at 3pm. Subtract the lower temperature from the higher, to find the difference. Be careful, subtracting a negative number is like adding a positive number. Or;2) Find the two temperatures on the graph and carefully count the number of squares between them on the temperature axis.

5The children at Farmfield School are collecting money for charity.Their target is to collect £360
So far they have collected £57.73
How much more money do they need to reach their target?-
£ (302.27)
1 mark(s)Correct
Incorrect

The amount they still need to collect is the difference between their target and the amount they have already. To find the difference between two numbers, subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

7. Question
6William wants to travel to Paris by train.
He needs to arrive in Paris by 5:30 pm.
What is the latest time that William can leave London?-
(14:01, 2.01pm)
1 mark(s)Correct
Incorrect
Hint
The timetable uses the 24-hour clock but you are given William’s arrival latest time as 5:30pm. First, you’ll need to convert this time into 24-hour format. Then look at the timetable to see where that time fits in with trains arriving in Paris.

9. Question
8Write three factors of 30 that are not factors of 15Write your answer in the boxes, in order of size starting with the smallest.-
(2, 6) (6, 10) (10, 30)
2 mark(s)Correct
Incorrect
Hint
A number bigger than another cannot be a factor of it. So 30 cannot be a factor of 15.
Also, any number is also a factor of itself. So 15 is a factor of 15.
Also, 2 is a factor of every even number (except zero) but 2 is not a factor of any odd number. -

The diameter of a circle is twice the radius, because the diameter is measured across the widest part and the radius is just between the centre and the edge, which is halfway across.
Your answer should be in centimetres. -

Question 20 of 25
20. Question
19Dev thinks of a whole number. He multiplies it by 4
He rounds his answer to the nearest 10
The result is 50
Write all the possible numbers that Dev could have started with.
-
(12 13, 12,13, 12, 13, 13 12, 13,12, 13, 12)
2 mark(s)Correct
Incorrect
Hint
Work backwards by reversing the steps that Dev took. So you’ll start by making a list of all the numbers for which 50 is the nearest 10. Most of these numbers can’t be divided by 4 and give a whole number. Those that can are your answer.

Question 21 of 25
21. Question
20A square tile measures 20 cm by 20 cm.
A rectangular tile is 3 cm longer and 2 cm narrower than the square tile.
What is the difference in area between the two tiles?Show
your
method-
(14) cm2
3 mark(s)Correct
Incorrect
Hint
The area is found by multiplying the width by the height.
Either: Work out the width and height of the rectangular tile. Then compare it with the area of the square tile, for which the width and height are the same – 20cm each.
Or: Compared to the square tile, the rectangular tile is longer in one direction and narrower in the other. Work out the area of the longer bit: 3 x (20 – 2) cm. Take away the area of the narrower bit: 2 x 20 cm. You’re left with the difference in area between the two tiles.

Question 23 of 25
23. Question
22In this diagram, the shaded rectangles are all of equal width (w).Calculate the width (w) of one shaded rectangle.Show
your
method-
(7) cm
2 mark(s)Correct
Incorrect
Hint
Imagine you can slide the top shaded rectangle all the way over to the right, so it lines up above a similar one. This might help you to see that 34cm is equal to 18cm + w + 9cm
So w = 34 – 18 – 9 cm. -

b = (10) × a – (1)
1 mark(s)Correct
Incorrect
Hint
From one row to the next, how much does b go up each time? This goes in the first box.
Then, looking at the formula, what do you need to subtract to get the right value for b? This goes in the second box.

Question 25 of 25
25. Question
24Cube A and cuboid B have the same volume.Calculate the missing length on cuboid B.Show
your
method-
(9) cm
2 mark(s)Correct
Incorrect
Hint
The volume of the cube = 6 x 6 x 6 cubic cm.
The volume in cubic cm of the cuboid is 6 x 4 x the missing length. These two volumes are the same, so it’s OK to put them in an equation.
6 x 6 x 6 = 6 x 4 x the missing length -
