Calculate the following: (a)\[(-2)^{3}\] = (b) -5 × -5 = (c) -15 + 6 = (d) -18 ÷ 3 = 3. If x = -2, y = 3 and z = -6 calculate the following: (a) x – y × z Answer: (b) \[2y^{2}\] Answer: 4. (i) Expand and simplify (a) 3(2x + 4y) + 5(6x – y) Answer: (b) 3x\[y^{2}\] (2x + 5y) Answer: (ii) Factorise these expressions as far as possible(a) 2x + 10y Answer: (b) 10\[x^{3}\]\[y^{2}\] + 4\[x^{2}\]y Answer: 5. When my father was 31, I was 8. Now he is twice as old as me. How old am I now? Answer: 6. Calculate, giving your answer in simplest form: (i) \[\frac{5}{7}\] + \[\frac{3}{4}\] (ii) \[\frac{5}{7}\] ÷ \[\frac{10}{21}\] (iii) 16\[\frac{2}{3}\] - 12\[\frac{3}{4}\] (iv) 1\[\frac{2}{3}\] × 2\[\frac{3}{4}\] 7. (a) Karthegan scores14 out of 40 in a test. What % is this? Answer: % (b) Increase £42 by 10%. Answer: (c) What is the percentage increase from £56 to £63? Answer:%BLANK% % 8. (i) What are the mean, median, mode and range of these numbers? 2,3,3,4,2,1,2,7 (ii) Three different prime numbers have a mean of 10 and a median greater than 10. What are the numbers? (iii) Class A and Class B both took the same maths test. The mean of Class A was 50% and the mean of Class B was 80%. Sophia said: “Everyone in Class B did better than everyone in Class A in the test.” Do you agree? Explain your reasoning clearly. 9. The probability that it rains on a day in April in Nodnol is 0.2 (i) What is the probability it doesn’t rain? Answer: (ii) How many days in April would you expect it to rain? (There are 30 days in April) Answer: (iii) In 3 consecutive days in April it could rain, not rain, rain. We can write this RNR. List all the different possibilities for 3 days in this way and so find the probability it rains on exactly one of the days. Answer: 10. In a group of children the ratio of boys to girls is 3:5. (i) If there are 72 children in all, how many boys are there? Answer: (ii) On a fruit stall the ratio of apples to bananas is 4:5 and the ratio of bananas to plums is 2:7. What is the ratio of apples to plums? Answer: 11. In this question use the following exchange rates. £1 = $ 1.20 1 Euro = 85p (a) Is £1 worth more or less than 1.1 Euros? You must justify your answer clearly. (b) What is £1.70 in dollars? Answer: 12. S is the sum of all the even numbers from 2 to 1000 inclusive . T is the sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 999 inclusive. What is S – T? Show your working clearly. Answer: 13. Alex throws 2 ordinary dice and adds the scores. Grace throws 1 dice and doubles the score on the dice. Who is more likely to score 10 or more? Explain your reasoning clearly. 14. You are given that 24 × 36 = 864. Use this to write down the answers to these: (i) 12 × 72 = (ii) 2.4 × 36000 = (iii) 864 ÷ 0.36 = 15. In this regular octagon calculate the angles x, y and z Answer: x = y = z = 16. If 3 chickens lay 3 eggs in 3 minutes, how many eggs would 9 chickens lay in 9 minutes, laying eggs at the same rate? Answer: 17. On these axes mark clearly the points A (2,3), B (2,-4) and C (-3,-2) (i) What is the equation of the line AB? Answer: (ii) What is the area of the triangle ABC? Answer: (iii) The point D fits on the diagram above and ABCD is a parallelogram. What are the coordinates of D? Answer: 18.
