 To find the answer multiply by 120. Express 120 as a fraction, that is,
8
120
before multiplying. When solving, divide the denominator 8 and the
1
numerator 120 by the same number or numbers. You can also multiply the
numerators, multiply the denominators and then divide.
 Consider 120 as the whole, that is, eight-eighths. Using the unitary
method, find one-eighth of 120 by dividing 120 by 8. Then to find five-
eighths, multiply the answer by 5.
Solution
5 120
⨯ = 5 ⨯ 15 = 75 oranges
8 1
OR
Eight-eighths = 120
One-eighth = 120 ÷ 8 = 15
Five-eighths = 15 ⨯ 5 = 75 oranges
117 | P a g e
Section 1 B No. 26

Tips
 There are 4 quarter turns in a circle. For example, in the diagram turning
from 0 to 2, from 2 to 4, from 4 to 6 and from 6 to 0 each represent a
quarter turn. This also holds for moving from 1 to 7, from 7 to 5, from 5 to
3 and from 3 to 1.
 Anti-clockwise refers to the movement that is opposite to the movement of
the hands in a clock.
Solution
The arrow will point to 7.

Tips
 Count the number of represented in the table. Compare this with
the number of haircuts stated.
 Figure out how many haircuts represents.
 Locate the information related to Monday.
Solution
There are 15 in the table.
These represent 75 haircuts.
represents 75 ÷ 15 = 5 haircuts. You can also solve this by asking, “What

number when multiplied by 15 equals 75?” You may also try to “guess and
check” and count in 5s.
There is only one for Monday.

So, 5 haircuts were done on Monday.

Tips
 You may draw a column in the table and write the number of games
played that match the number of points given.
 Remember the number of games cannot be more than the number of points
for “won” and “draw”.
 Find the total number of games “won” and “draw”.
 Subtract the total from the number of games played.
Solution
Results Points Number of Games Played

Won 16 8
Draw 10 10
Loss 0 ?
The total number of games “won” and “draw” = 8 + 10 = 18

Number of games “loss” = 25 – 18 = 7
Section 11 B No.13
Tips
 You may use the formula for finding simple interest or find the amount of
interest for one year and then use the answer to find for three years.
12
 When using the formula SI = P ⨯ R ⨯ T remember to write R as .
100
Solution
12
Simple Interest for 1 year = ⨯ $8000 = 12 ⨯ $80 = $960
100
Simple Interest for 3 years = $960 ⨯ 3 = $2880
121 | P a g e
OR
Using the formula:
12
SI = P ⨯ R ⨯ T = $8000 ⨯ ⨯ 3 = $80 ⨯ 12 ⨯ 3 = $2880

(a)
 You may review the different types of movements you learnt –
slides/translation, flips/reflection and turns/rotation, and their properties.
 Try to picture the movement in your mind and decide which of the above
was done.
(b)
 Divide the rectangle into parts to determine how many Ts can fit. You can
shade Ts in the drawn rectangle.
(c)
 Review the different types of triangles and their properties.
 Remember to combine T and S to form one triangle.
122 | P a g e
Solution
(a) Flip or reflection.
(b)
Two of Triangle T will cover one-quarter of rectangle ABCD. So, 8 will cover
the entire rectangle.
OR
Triangle T covers one-eighth of rectangle ABCD. So, 8 will cover the entire
rectangle.
OR
2 “blocks” are used to make T. There are 16 blocks in rectangle ABCD. So, 8
of Triangle T will cover the rectangle ABCD.
Isosceles (Triangles T and S are right-angled triangles of the same size. The
“slanted” lines in T and S are the same length and they are longer than the vertical
and horizontal lines in T and S.)
Section 11 D No.3
123 | P a g e
Tips
 Remember a circle is used to make a pie chart.
 There are 4 quarter turns in a circle. (Four quarters form the whole.)
 A quarter turn forms a right angle.
 The pie chart represents the whole or the entire salary.
 Each part or fraction of the pie chart represents how the money was used.
Solution
Food represents one-quarter of the pie chart.
$1800 was spent on food.
So, one-quarter of the salary is equal to $1800.
The entire/whole salary = four-quarters = $1800 ⨯ 4 = $7200

(b)
 Picture the situation in your mind or draw a diagram that shows the given
information.
 You need to use whatever answer you obtain in part (a) to solve part (b).
Solution
(a) Number of pipes = 144
Number of spaces = 8
Number of pipes in each space = 144 ÷ 8 = 18 pipes (between the first and
second posts)
OR
Number of pipes = 144
Number of spaces = 8
If 10 pipes are placed in each space then a total of 80 pipes would have been
used.
Number of pipes remaining to be shared = 144 – 80 = 64

Now, divide the 64 remaining pipes among the 8 spaces:
64 ÷ 8 = 8
So, the number of pipes in each space = 10 + 8 = 18
OR
Use the same idea above to share the 64 pipes and placing 5 pipes in each
space (using 40 pipes), subtracting to obtain the remainder (64 – 40 = 24) and
then sharing the remainder (24) among the 8 spaces (3 per space).
125 | P a g e
Number of pipes in each space = 10 + 5 + 3 = 18
(b) Number of pipes between 1st and 2nd posts = 18 pipes

Length of 1 pipe = 7 m
Distance between 1st and 2nd posts = length of 18 pipes = 18 ⨯ 7 = 126 m
OR
Using a drawing:
You can use addition or multiplication or both:

7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 126 m
18 ⨯ 7 = 126 m
7 ⨯ 10 + 7 ⨯ 8 = 70 + 56 = 126 m

Tips
(a)
 The bristol board is in the shape of a rectangle.
 Draw and label a rectangle.
 The area of rectangle = L ⨯ B.
 Use any rules you know to solve the problem easily, e.g.
 commutative rule: 3 ⨯ 5 = 5 ⨯ 3 (the order in which the numbers
are multiplied does not change the answer)
 multiplying by 10: “add-on” a 0
 The unit of measure for area (in this problem) is sq. cm or cm2.
(b)
 The tickets are rectangular in shape.
 Draw tickets within the drawn rectangle.
 Decide how best to draw tickets within the rectangle by considering which
lengths are easily divisible by 9 or 3. This would ensure that the entire
sheet of bristol board is used. (There would be no spaces or wastage.)
OR
 Calculate the area of each ticket.
 Divide the area of the rectangle by the area of a ticket.
(c)
 It would be helpful to calculate the amount of money Daniel would get for
the tickets created from one sheet of bristol board.
OR
 You can calculate the number of tickets sold by Daniel.
127 | P a g e
Solution
(a)
Area of rectangle = L ⨯ B = 60 ⨯ 45 = 45 ⨯ 6 ⨯ 10 = 2700 cm2
(b) Draw tickets within the rectangle. Both numbers (60 and 45) are divisible by
3, however, only 45 is completely divisible by 9.
45 ÷ 9 = 5 (rows of tickets)
60 ÷ 3 = 20 (tickets in each row)
128 | P a g e
To find the number of tickets you can use addition or multiplication:

Number of tickets = 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 100 tickets
Number of tickets = 20 ⨯ 5 = 100 tickets
OR
Area of rectangle = 2700 cm2
Area of each ticket = 9 ⨯ 3 = 27 cm2
Number of tickets = 2700 ÷ 27 = 100 tickets
(c) 1 sheet of bristol board is used to make 100 tickets.

Each ticket costs $10.
So, 100 tickets would cost: $10 ⨯ 100 = $1000
$1000 represents the cost of tickets from 1 sheet of bristol board.
$5000 (which is 5 times the amount above) represents the cost of tickets from
5 sheets of bristol board.
OR
Daniel collected $5000.
Each ticket cost $10.
Number of tickets sold by Daniel = Amount of money collected ÷ Cost of 1
ticket = $5000 ÷ $10 = 500 tickets.
100 tickets are made from 1 sheet of bristol board.
500 tickets would be made from 5 times the number of sheets = 5

Section 111 C No. 1
Tips
(a) and (b)
 Review the different solids and their nets.
 This net can only be made using four-sided shapes. The only solids
formed using squares and/or rectangles are cubes and cuboids.
 Once you have an answer, try folding the net in your mind so as to form a
solid.
 A cube is the only solid with 6 square faces.
 Picture in your mind any cube you know, e.g. box and die.
(c)
 Review the different solids and their properties.
130 | P a g e
Solution
(a)
(b) Cube
(c) The solid formed has 12 edges and 8 vertices.
Section 111 D No. 5
Tips
(a)
 Mode represents the most frequent score, so look for the number that is
recorded the most number of times.
131 | P a g e
(b)
 The mean is a number that represents the scores if they were equally
distributed.
 To calculate the mean add all the scores together and then divide by the
number of scores.
(c)
 Remember the mean score for six games was obtained by dividing by 6.
 Multiply the mean score by 6 to find the total of the 6 scores.
 Subtract the total for the 5 games from the total of the 6 games to obtain
the score on Game 6.
Solution
(a) 34
(b) 34 + 29 + 43 + 34 + 55 =
195 ÷ 5 = 39
(c) 42 ⨯ 6 = 252 (total score for 6 games)

Score for Game 6 = Total score for 6 games – Total score for 5 games
= 252 – 195 = 57
