26. 1 duck  2 legs , 1 geese  2 legs

3 more geese than ducks  3 x 2 = 6 legs
34 – 6 = 28 legs [M1]
28 ÷ 2 = 14 animals
14 ÷ 2 = 7 ducks
7 + 3 = 10 geese [A1]

27. CEB = (360° - 96° - 96°) ÷ 2

= 84°
DCB = (180° - 84°) ÷ 2
= 48°
DCB = ACD = 48° , CEA = 96°
CAB = 180° - 48° - 96° [M1] = 36° [A1]

28. Mother  years old

Father  4 + years old
If = 9, then Mother  4 x 9 = 36 years old [M1]
In 10 years’ time,
Mother  36 + 10 = 46
Father  46 + 4 = 50 [A1]
29. New speed = 75 km/h
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
= 300 ÷ 75 [M1]

1. 4 apples + 3 pears  $4.10

2 apples  $1.00
4 apples  2 x $1.00
= $2.00
3 pears  $4.10 - $2.00
= $2.10 [M1]
1 pear  $0.70 [A1]

2. New ratio - green : red

4. You need to divide the rectangles as below.

Notice that the perimeter of the figure has been divided into 16 equal units.
16 unit  400cm
1 unit  400 cm ÷ 16
= 25 cm (Breadth of a rectangle)

Notice that the length of each rectangle is made up of 3 units.

3 unit  25 cm × 3
= 75 cm (Length of a rectangle) [M1]

Therefore,
Area of rectangle  25cm × 75cm = 1 875 [A1]

5. Volume of rectangular container = 60 x 25 x 30

= 45 000 [M1]
45 ÷ 2.5 = 18 minutes [A1]

6. Cost of 1 camera = $150 + $250

= $400 [M1]
Cost of 1 fan = $150 - $78
= $72 [M1]

Total = $150 + $400 + $72

= $622 [A1]

12. (a) 500m + 500m = 1000m or 1km [A1]
(b) Mdm drove at 65km/h. Therefore, Mdm Shikin drove at 55km/h.
10km  1h
1km  1/10 h
As Speed x Time = Distance,
55km/h × 1/10h = 5.5 km
500m = 0.5km [A1]
5.5km + 0.5km = 6km [A2]

13. Number of circles needed for Figure 15  15 × 1 + 2 = 17 (M1,A1)

Number of sticks needed for Figure 20  20 × 2 + 1 = 41 (M1,A1)

14. semicircle = ½ × × 4 × 4 = 8 [M1]

¼ × 4 × 4=
½x4x4=8
(4 - 8) x 4 = 16 – 32 [M1]
Alternatively, can use × 4 × 4 – 2 x 4 x 4 = 16 – 32

(16 – 32) + 8 = 24 – 32 [A2]

The shaded area is (24 – 32) .

15. (a) Full marks  80 x 3 = 240

Total marks lost of each wrong answer  3 + 1 [M1] = 4
Total marks lost  240 – 160 = 80 [M1]
Number of wrong answers  80 ÷ 4 = 20
Number of correct answers  80 – 20 = 60 [A1]

(b) 20 out of 80 questions  20/80 [M1] = ¼ [A1]

16. a)

1 unit 3 units

4 square units  100

1 square unit  100 ÷ 4 [M1] = 25
Side of square  √25 = 5cm [M1]
Length of rectangle  3 x 5cm = 15 cm [A1]
The length of the rectangle is 15cm.

b) Perimeter of square = 4 x 5 = 20 cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 x (5 + 15) [M1] = 40cm
Difference = 40 – 20 = 20cm [A1]
The difference in perimeter between the rectangle and the square is 20cm.

4 units – 60 cards [M1]

1 unit – 15 cars [M1]
Number of cards Faisal have at first = 15 x 2 = 30 [A1]

18. Difference in height  8cm – 6cm = 2 cm [M1]

Volume of empty space in the tank  12cm x 6cm x 2cm = 144 [M2]
Volume of cube  2cm x 2cm x 2cm = 8
144 ÷ 8 = 18 [A2]
