Aidan can buy wine for his shop in two ways.Firstly, he can buy cases which each contain 12 bottles of wine. Each case costs £40.Secondly, he can buy single bottles of wine at a cost of £4.50 each. For every 6 bottles he buys, he gets 2 extra bottles free.Aidan decides he needs 96 bottles of wine. Work out the cost by each of the two methods and then say which method is cheaper, and by how much.Buying cases is cheaper by £4Buying bottles is cheaper by £6both are at same priceBuying cases is expensive by £4None of the Above 7.

In a certain game, a counter can moveeither one square vertically and then three squares horizontallyor one square horizontally and then three squares vertically.For example if the counter starts on square A in the diagram below, after one move it can be at B, or at C, or at various other squares.In the diagram below,(a) Place an X in every square that the counter could be after one move if it starts at S. (b) Place an O in every square that the counter could possibly be after it had made two moves starting from S. 9.

What are the three lengths?1512201816 (e) If there are four pieces, such that one is ¹/5 of the stick, one is ³/10 , and another ¹/8 of the stick, what are the four lengths?30cm24cm20cm40cmNone of the Above 10. The girls in a class each think of a different whole number (not including zero).(a) Claire adds 3 to her number and then subtracts 11 from the result. She obtains the answer 7. What is Claire’s number?1512161817 (b) Alison subtracts 3 from the product of 4 and her number. She obtains the answer 17. What is Alison’s number?54632 (c) Rachel multiplies her number by 3 and then subtracts 12 from the total. She finds that the answer is the same as her original number. What is Rachel’s number?6543None of the Above (d) Joanne squares her number and then subtracts her original number from the total. She finds that the answer is eight times as big as her number. What is Joanne’s number?98567 (e) When Pauline cubes her number it is nine times as large as the number itself. What is Pauline’s number?36452 (f) Fiona’s number is 8 less than Kath’s number. Kath’s number is 5 times as big as Fiona’s number. Find the two numbers.2, 108, 47, 56, 4None of the Above 11. In a list of numbers:the mode is the number which occurs the most often;the median is the number which is in the middle of the list when the numbers have been put in order;the mean is the sum of all the numbers divided by how many numbers there are in the list.For example, for the list 1, 4, 7, 1, 2,mode = 1, median = 2, mean = 15/5 = 3(a) Find the mode, the median, and the mean for the list 8, 5, 2, 16, 6, 5, 7.mode = _______median = _______mean = ______mode = 5, median = 6, mean =7mode = 6, median = 5, mean =8mode = 7, median = 8, mean =10mode = 7, median = 7, mean = 7None of the Above (b) Write down a list of three whole numbers for which the mode is 4 and the mean is 6.4, 4, 104, 2, 126, 8, 127, 5, 6None of the Above (c) Write down a list of five whole numbers for which the mode is 9, the median is 4, and the mean is 5.1, 2, 4, 9, 91, 2, 3, 7, 91, 2, 2, 5, 91, 3, 5, 8, 9None of the Above (d) Write down three different lists, each containing five whole numbers, so that for each list the mode is 1 and the mean is 2.1, 1, 1, 1, 61, 1, 1, 2, 51, 1, 1, 3, 41, 1, 1, 2, 4All of the Above except 'd' 12. Five countries take part in a competition.There are 26 events in all, and in each of these a Gold medal, a Silver medal, and a Bronze medal are awarded.The final table which shows the number of medals won by each of the five countries is shown below.The teams are in order of the Total medals won, with A first, B second, and so on.No two teams obtained the same total number of medals.E’s Gold, Silver and Bronze medals were the first three prime numbers in order. (1 is not a prime number).D won twice as many Silver as Gold, and twice as many Bronze as Silver.C won one more Silver than Gold.Use this information to help you complete the table. Time is Up!
