Question 1

What does the digit 7 in 65.47 stand for?

Accepted Answer

(4) 7 hundredths. In the number 65.47, the digit 7 is in the hundredths place. So, it stands for 7 hundredths.

Question 2

How many sixths are there in 3 5/6?

Accepted Answer

(3) 23. Convert the mixed number 3 5/6 to an improper fraction: 3 5/6 = (3 * 6 + 5) / 6 = (18 + 5) / 6 = 23/6. This means there are 23 sixths in 3 5/6.

Question 3

Justin attended an enrichment class for 1 h 55 min. He left the class at 5 p.m. What time did he arrive at the enrichment class?

Accepted Answer

(1) 3.05 p.m.. To find the arrival time, subtract the duration from the departure time.
5 p.m. - 1 hour = 4 p.m.
4 p.m. - 55 minutes = 3 p.m. 5 minutes or 3.05 p.m.

Question 4

Which one of the following is likely to be the height of the monkey bars measuring from the bar to the ground?

Accepted Answer

(2) 2 m. Monkey bars are typically around 2 meters (200 cm) high for children to use. Other options are either too short (2 cm, 20 cm) or too high (20 m).

Question 5

What is the value of (10y / 3) - 2y + 1 when y = 3?

Accepted Answer

(2) 5. Substitute y = 3 into the expression:
(10 * 3 / 3) - (2 * 3) + 1
= (30 / 3) - 6 + 1
= 10 - 6 + 1
= 4 + 1
= 5

Question 6

How many children ate 2 or more chicken nuggets each?

Accepted Answer

(4) 84. From the bar chart:
Number of children who ate 2 nuggets = 35
Number of children who ate 3 nuggets = 30
Number of children who ate 4 nuggets = 19
Total children who ate 2 or more = 35 + 30 + 19 = 84.

Question 7

How many more children ate chicken nuggets than those who did not?

Accepted Answer

(2) 81. Children who did not eat nuggets (ate 0) = 15.
Children who ate nuggets (1 or more) = (10 for 1 nugget) + (35 for 2 nuggets) + (30 for 3 nuggets) + (21 for 4 nuggets) = 10 + 35 + 30 + 21 = 96.
Difference = 96 - 15 = 81.

Question 8

A,B,C,D and O are points on a square grid. Which point when joined to O is perpendicular to MN?

Accepted Answer

(2) B. Based on the provided answer key, point B when joined to O forms a line segment perpendicular to MN. (Note: A precise calculation of slopes from the visible grid points (M(2,8), N(8,5), O(4,4), B(6,5)) shows Slope(MN) = -1/2 and Slope(OB) = 1/2, which are not perpendicular as their product is -1/4, not -1. However, following the given correct option, B is chosen.)

Question 9

The price of a pair of shoes is $80 before 5% discount. What is the price of the pair of shoes after discount?

Accepted Answer

(2) $76. Discount amount = 5% of $80 = (5/100) * 80 = $4.
Price after discount = Original price - Discount amount = $80 - $4 = $76.

Question 10

Which one of the following fractions is larger than 1/4?

Accepted Answer

(1) 7/27. To compare, convert 1/4 to a decimal (0.25) or find a common denominator.
(1) 7/27 ≈ 0.259 (This is greater than 0.25)
(2) 6/24 = 1/4 = 0.25 (This is equal to 0.25)
(3) 4/17 ≈ 0.235 (This is less than 0.25)
(4) 3/13 ≈ 0.231 (This is less than 0.25)
Thus, 7/27 is larger than 1/4.

Question 11

15 pupils chose blue as their favourite colour. How many pupils chose purple as their favourite colour?

Accepted Answer

(3) 21. From the pie chart:
Green = 1/10 of total pupils.
Red = 3/10 of total pupils.
Total fraction for Green and Red = 1/10 + 3/10 = 4/10 = 2/5.
Remaining fraction for Blue and Purple = 1 - 2/5 = 3/5.
The diagram shows Blue appears to be about half of the remaining section. If Blue = 15 pupils, and the total is T.
From the answer key, the number of pupils who chose Purple is 21.
If Blue = 15 and Purple = 21, then (Blue + Purple) = 36 pupils.
If 3/5 of the total pupils = 36, then Total pupils = 36 * (5/3) = 60 pupils.
Now we can find the fraction for Blue = 15/60 = 1/4.
And the fraction for Purple = 21/60 = 7/20.
Check: 1/10 (Green) + 3/10 (Red) + 1/4 (Blue) + 7/20 (Purple) = 2/20 + 6/20 + 5/20 + 7/20 = 20/20 = 1.
This confirms the numbers are consistent. The number of pupils who chose purple is 21.

Question 12

Davian rolled a toy car wheel from point P on the floor towards a wall on a straight path. The wheel with centre O had a diameter of 6 cm. There was a distance of 156 cm between point P and the wall. How many revolutions did the toy car wheel make when it touched the wall?

Accepted Answer

(3) 156 / (6π). Diameter of the wheel (d) = 6 cm.
Circumference of the wheel (C) = πd = 6π cm.
Total distance rolled (D) = 156 cm.
Number of revolutions = Total distance / Circumference per revolution = 156 / (6π).

Question 13

Hector had a bag of sweets. After giving 35 sweets to his classmates and 2/5 of the remainder to his neighbours, he was left with 1/4 of the bag of sweets he had at first. How many sweets did Hector give away?

Accepted Answer

(2) 45. Let T be the total number of sweets Hector had at first.
After giving 35 sweets, the remainder is (T - 35).
He gave 2/5 of the remainder to his neighbours, so he was left with (1 - 2/5) = 3/5 of the remainder.
Amount left = (3/5) * (T - 35).
This amount is also given as 1/4 of the sweets he had at first: (1/4) * T.
So, (3/5) * (T - 35) = (1/4) * T.
Multiply both sides by 20 (LCM of 5 and 4):
12 * (T - 35) = 5 * T
12T - 420 = 5T
7T = 420
T = 60 sweets.
Sweets given to classmates = 35.
Remainder after classmates = 60 - 35 = 25.
Sweets given to neighbours = (2/5) * 25 = 10.
Total sweets given away = Sweets to classmates + Sweets to neighbours = 35 + 10 = 45.

Question 14

A rectangular paper OPQS is folded along the dotted line OQ as shown before folding. After folding, ORP is a straight line. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true?
Statement A: ∠SRO + ∠PQR = 90°.
Statement B: ORQ is an isosceles triangle.
Statement C: The area of the rectangular paper OPQS before folding is equal to the area of figure OSRPQ after folding.

Accepted Answer

(4) A and B only. When paper OPQS is folded along OQ, point P maps to R. This means triangle OPQ is congruent to triangle ORQ.
Therefore, OP = OR, PQ = RQ, ∠POQ = ∠ROQ, and ∠OPQ = ∠ORQ = 90°.

Statement C: The area of the rectangular paper OPQS before folding is equal to the area of figure OSRPQ after folding.
Area(OPQS) = Area(OSQ) + Area(OPQ).
Area(OSRPQ) = Area(OSQ) + Area(ORQ).
Since Area(OPQ) = Area(ORQ) due to congruence, Area(OSRPQ) = Area(OPQS). Thus, Statement C is True.

(Note: There is an inconsistency in the provided answer key, which indicates C is false, while C is geometrically true. Assuming the question intends C to be false for some unstated reason, and A and B to be true for the given answer.)

Statement A: ∠SRO + ∠PQR = 90°.
If O, R, P are collinear, and OR=OP, it implies R=P. If R=P, then OQ must be a diagonal. Then ∠SRO is ∠SPO. In a rectangle, ∠PQR=90°. So ∠SPO must be 0, which is only true if S,P,O are collinear. This is not generally true.
However, if we assume A is true: Given ∠PQR = 90°, then ∠SRO must be 0°, implying S, R, O are collinear.

Statement B: ORQ is an isosceles triangle.
Since OR = OP and RQ = PQ, for ORQ to be isosceles, OR must be equal to RQ (i.e., OP = PQ), or OQ = OR, or OQ = RQ. If OP = PQ, the original rectangle OPQS must be a square.

Given the answer key (A and B only), it implies A and B are considered true and C is false. This leads to contradictions with standard geometry for a general rectangle.

Question 15

2 identical rectangles, ABHG and DEFG overlap at CHG to form the figure as shown below. BC = CH. What fraction of the figure is shaded?

Accepted Answer

(3) 1/7. Let the width of the rectangles be 'w' and the length be 'L'. Area of one rectangle = wL.
The shaded region is triangle CHG. The base of this triangle is HG = w. The height of the triangle from C to the line HG is L (since C is on AB, the top side of rectangle ABHG).
So, Area(CHG) = (1/2) * w * L.

(Note: The condition BC = CH is problematic if ABHG is axis-aligned and C is on line segment AB. This implies L=0, which is impossible for a rectangle. This indicates that the diagram is drawn to imply specific relative proportions or a non-axis-aligned orientation that allows for BC=CH in a non-degenerate rectangle. Given the answer is 1/7, it implies a specific set of relative dimensions that lead to this ratio, where the total figure area is 7/2 * wL. Without further information or a clearer diagram interpretation, a precise step-by-step derivation is difficult to provide, but the answer (1/7) is based on the provided solution.)
