Question: If 5 is added to twice a number, the result is 29. Determine the number. (A) 12(B) 11(C) 10(D) 20 Solution The equation for the given statement is 5+2x = 29.To find the number “x”, we have to solve the equation.⇒ 2x = 29 – 5⇒ 2x = 24⇒ x = 24/2⇒ x =

Question: Find the length of a rectangle given that its perimeter is 880 m and breadth is 88 m. (A) 356 m(B) 352 m(C) 365 m(D) 362 m Solution Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 [length + breadth]∴ 2 [length + breadth] = 880length + breadth = 880 ÷ 2 = 440∵ Breadth = 88

Question: A choir teacher is dividing 15 sopranos and 6 altos into singing groups. He wants each group to have the same combination of sopranos and altos, with no singers left over. What is the greatest number of groups he can make? (1) 2 (2) 3 (3) 5 (4) 2.5 Solution Write the prime factorisation

Question: Which numbers are factors of 6? Select all that apply.4 ,8, 1, 12. (A) 2(B) 1(C) 3(D) 4 Solution A number is a factor if it divides evenly.Divide all the numbers into 6, and see which ones divide evenly.6 ÷ 4 = 1 R2 No6 ÷ 8 = 0 R6 No6 ÷ 1 =

Question:3(q − 2) = 2(q + 1) − 3. Find the value of q. (A) 6(B) 3(C) 5(D) 2 Solution 3(q − 2) = 2(q + 1) − 3First we should remove the brackets.3q − 6 = 2q + 2 − 33q − 2q = 2 − 3 + 6q = 5 Our Social Media

Question: Write the prime factorisation of 10. Use exponents when appropriate and order the factors from least to greatest (for example, 2²*3*5) (A) 2*5 (B) 3*5 (C) 2*4 (D) 3*2 Solution A prime factorisation shows how to write a number as the product of prime factors.Divide by prime factors until the quotient is 1.10÷2 =
