To find the perimeter we add the sides: 15 A (Intermediate level) (Advanced level)

8 1 8 1 6 1 6 is 28. This means the perimeter

is 28 cm.
28 If Melinda is 2 years older than Lana then
there is a difference of 2 years between
their ages.
This means: Melinda’s age 2 Lana’s age = 2.

1 As 135 4 15 is 9, then it will take Alexis
9 weeks.
2 As 1461 2 1196 is 265, then 265 more people
live in Sheridan.
3 The change is $2.65. The coins are $2, 50c, 10c
and 5c. This means she could receive 4 coins
in change.
4 The answer of 6.1 is smaller than 12.2 so the
missing number is less than 1. In fact, 6.1 is
half of 12.2, so that the missing number is one-
half, or 0.5.
5 The number sentence has 3 times $5. This
means Hui bought 3 lots of 4 grapefruit. She
bought 12 grapefruit.

are 8 red balls. This is a total of 12 balls which
means the total of green and yellow balls is
20 2 12 which is 8. If there are 2 more green
balls then yellow balls then there must be
5 green and 3 yellow. There are 5 green balls
in the bag.
6 2 pentagons and 5 squares means a
pentagonal prism.

8 The three dimensions need to add to 16. Also,
the longest side must be less than the sum of
the other two sides. This means the triangle
has dimensions 3 cm, 6 cm and 7 cm.

9 The pattern of sticks is 12, 19, 26 … The
numbers are increasing by 7. This means the
pattern is 12, 19, 26, 33, 40 … Penelope used
40 sticks in Shape 5.
10 83 is prime because it has only 2 factors:
1 and 83.
11 The distance is 300 m. Using the scale
provided, Natasha’s house is D2.
12 We need to add the four times:
48.18 1 48.48 1 48.71 1 48.30 is 193.67 s.
As 180 s is 3 min, then the relay time is
3 min 13.67 s.
13 The difference between adding the circle and
subtracting the circle is 8. This means the
circle is equal to 4. =4
14 The heaviest is the 50c coin and the lightest
is the 5c coin. The difference is 15.55 2 2.83
which is 12.72 g.
15 Take care with the millions when using your
calculator. We add the prices and then divide
by 5: (1 250 000 1 850 000 1 920 000

Dianne’s height 1 4 = Lorraine’s height.
17 From largest to smallest the order

18 The 12.84 on the left side of the equals sign
becomes 12.81 on the right side. This means
we can add 0.03 to 15.67 to get 15.70. The
missing number is 15.7.

$8 each. Mia pays 3 3 $8 plus $2 which is $26.
21 10% is the same as one-tenth, or dividing by
10. As 480 4 10 is 48, we need to subtract:
480 2 48 is 432. The new price for the watch
is $432.
22 Take care that the top number is divided by
4 3 2. We can use grouping symbols:
24.8 4 (4 3 2) is 24.8 4 8 = 3.1.

23 148 min is 2 h 28 min. From 7:35 adding 2 h
gives 9:35. Now adding 25 min is 10:00 and
then 3 more min gives 10:03. The movie
finishes at 10:03 pm.
24 The pattern of numbers is 28, 36, 44, 52, 60 …
Every 4 extra kilometres costs $8.
This means the pattern can be extended:
28, 36, 44, 52, 60, 68, 76, 84.
The charge is $84.
25 Every little square represents 1 square metre.
The triangle covers 6 whole squares and
6 half squares. This means the area is
9 square metres.
26 The total number of students is
15 1 10 1 20 1 5 which is 50 students. By

as 20 out of 50. From the table, 20 students
nominated AFL.

The distance from D to C is 8 units and
represents 32 mm. This means 1 unit is 4 mm.
The distance from E to G is 6 units. As 6 3 4

30 950 mL is reached by adding 350 mL and
600 mL. Adding the two prices gives $5.30.
To fill a 2000 mL container we need 4 bottles
