ESSAY

Answer four questions only.

All questions carry equal marks.

Answer four questions from this section. Clearly show all evidence of working. No marks would be awarded for
correct answers without corresponding working.

AGE(years) 11 12 13 14
FREQUENCY 2 8 18 12

(i) Draw a pie chart for the distribution.

(ii) Calculate the mean age for the distribution.
(b) Akroboto spent one-third of his pocket money on breakfast and one-sixth of what remained on
sweets. If he still had sixty-six Ghana cedis left, find how much he spent on breakfast.

2. (a) The average mass of a twins is 45 kg. The difference between their mass is 15kg.
Find the mass for each of them.

(b) Mr. Amoah’s table is (11 – 𝑦) meters wide and (2𝑦 + 5) meters long. Find:
(i) the area of the table in terms of y.
(ii) the actual perimeter of the table, when 𝑦 = 8.

3. (a) Three tower lights blink at intervals of 30 minutes, 40 minutes and 45 minutes respectively.
If all three blink together at 10:45 am, when next, will all three blink together again?

(b) The base of an isosceles triangle is 2 cm longer than each of the two equal sides.
Given that the base is (𝑦 + 5) 𝑐𝑚 and the perimeter is 38 cm, find:
i) an expression for its perimeter.
ii) the ratio of the sum of the equal lengths to the base.

(iii) the y-intercept.

(b) The graph below shows the journey made by a cyclist from Beposo to Assin Foso. He made his
first stop at Yamoransa for a rest, then he continued to Assin Foso to have a business discussion. He
returned to Beposo on his bike immediately after the business discussion.

10:00 11:00 12:00 13:00 14:00 15:00 16:00

i) Calculate his average speed from Beposo to Assin Foso.

ii) At what time of his return journey did he reach Yamoransa?

5. (a) Draw a table of values for the relations 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 6 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 − 𝑦 = −4 .

Use x values as – 3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6.

(b) Using an appropriate scale, draw the 𝑜𝑥 and 𝑜𝑦 axes on a graph sheet.
(c) Plot the points for 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 6 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 − 𝑦 = −4 on the same graph sheet. Join the points to form
two straight lines.
(d) Using your graph, find the solution set of 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 6 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 − 𝑦 = −4
(e) Measure the angle formed between 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑦 = 6 + 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑦 = 0.
