Math Quiz

Grade 9 – Pitcher Plant

Guidelines and Mechanics
1. The coverage of the math quiz bee is Joint Variation

2.The group will write their answers at the white part of the illustration
board using board marker.

3. All groups will answer the same set of questions in writing. Before the
question is show, the group must raise their markers (chalk).

4. There will be three (3) components in the competition namely:

Elimination Round, Semi-Final Round and the Final Round.
Guidelines and Mechanics
5. The elimination round has ten (10) questions worth 1 points, the semi-
final round has two (2) questions worth 3 points and in the final round
has one (1) questions worth 5 points.

6. In the elimination round, only the top six (6) groups will qualify to the
next (semi-final) round.

7. At the end of semi-final round, only the top three (3) groups will move
to the final round.
Guidelines and Mechanics
8. Once the question show, the Quizmaster shall say “go”, only then the
groups be allowed to write their answers. Automatically, the (10) second
time-limit will begin with the word “go” by the Quizmaster.

9. After the time-limit, the whistle is blown by the time-keeper. The groups
must stop writing and must raise their answer boards.

10. The Quizmaster shall read and verify the groups answer.

11. The group who gets the highest number of points is automatically
declared the champion or the runner-up as the case may be.
Elimination
Round
Question 1
If t varies jointly with u and the
square of v.
Question 2

If m varies jointly as p and q.

m = kpq.
Question 3
The price P of a steel rod varies
jointly as the length L and the
square of the diameter D.
Question 4

A is in joint variation with B and

square of C
Question 5
The volume of wood V in a
trunk varies jointly as the height
H and the square of the girth G.
Question 6
The area A of a triangle varies
jointly with the lengths of the
base B and the height H.

A = kbh
Question 7

b varies jointly with m, n and p.

b = kmnp
Question 8
b varies jointly with the square
of m, the cube of n and p.
Question 9
The work W done when lifting an object
varies jointly with the mass M of the object
and the height H that the object is lifted.

W = KMH
Question 10

The volume of a cylinder varies jointly as its

height and the square of its radius.
Semi-Final
Round
Question 1
 h=4 I=6
f = khI
f = ? h = 12 I = 14

f = khI
Question 2
Suppose q varies jointly as g and the square
of b. If q = 210 when g = 28 and b = 10, find q
when g = 20 and b = 28.

1176
 K = 0.075

q = 1176
Final Round
Question 1
The area of a triangle varies jointly with
the base and height. A pennant flag that is
2 inches high with a base of 1.5 inches has
an area of 1.5 square inches. Find the area
of a flag whose base measures 2 inches
and height is 2.5 inches.
2.5 square inches

Question 1
For a given interest rate, simple interest
varies jointly as principal and time. If
$2000 left in an account for 4 years earns
interest of $320, how much interest
would be earned in if you deposit $5000
for 7 years?
$1400
