Kim worked 74 hours on Wednesday, and he spent ½ of that time cleaning his office. To find the number of
manyhehours
hours spentdid he spend cleaning? (2M)
cleaning:

Hours cleaning =1/2*Total hours worked

Hours cleaning =1/2* 74

Hours cleaning = 37

So, Kim spent 37 hours cleaning.

Time =Amount/Rate

Time =1/4/1/2

Time =1/4/1/2

Time =1/4*2/1

Time =12

12. Make x the subject of the formula 𝑧 = 2 𝑥 − 3𝑡 .

13 = 1/2x
13*1/2 = x
6.5 = x

13.Solve 𝑥 2 +11x - 42 =0 (3M)

To solve the quadratic equation (x^2 + 11x - 42 = 0), you can use the factoring method or the quadratic formula. I'll
use the factoring method.

The quadratic equation can be factored into two binomial expressions.

(x + 14)(x - 3) = 0

1. x + 14 = 0 --> x = 14
2. x - 3 = 0 --> x = -3

So, the solutions to the quadratic equation are x = -14 and x = 3.

Section (C) (40 Marks)
1.(a) DEF is a straight line. CE = CF.
Angle ECF is 40⁰.
Angle DCE is 15⁰.
Find the size of the angle marked y. Clearly explain your answer.(3M)

Firstly, we need to calculate the Angle CEF and EFC as the triangle is isosceles triangle.

Angle FCE = 40 degrees

Angle FCE + Angle CEF + Angle EFC = 180 degrees
40 degrees + 2Angle CEF = 180 degrees
2Angle CEF = 180 - 40 degrees
2Angle CEF = 140 degrees
Angle CEF = 140/2 degrees
= 70 degrees = Angle EFC

We also get the answer for Angle DEC from first triangle like:

180 - 70 = 110 degrees

We can use same method for this as well.

110 + 15 + y = 180 degrees

125 + y = 180 degrees
y = 180 - 125
y = 55 degrees
1.(b) Below is a kite. Calculate the size of angle y. (2M)

Let's assume unknown 2 angels as 'x'

Exterior Angle of x = 80 degrees

Interior Angle of x = 180 - 80
= 100 degrees

The area of kite = 360 degrees

360 = 100 + 100 + 75 + y
360 = 275 + y
360 - 275 = y
85 =y
2. The midpoints of the sides of a square of side 16 cm are joined to form another square.
This process is then repeated to create the shaded square. Find the area of the shaded
square.(5M)

Let's assume the original square as ABCD, with side length 16 cm. The midpoints of its sides
are E, F, G, and H.

D = (1/2)^4 * A

D = (1/2)^4 * (16 cm)^2

D = 1/16 * 256

D = 16

Therefore, the area of the shaded square is 16 , cm^2.

3. A frame is made from wire.
The frame is a trapezium
Calculate the total amount of wire needed to make the frame.
Give your answer to 1 decimal place. (4 M)

To calculate the total amount of wire needed to make the frame, we need to find the perimeter
of the trapezium. The formula for the perimeter P of a trapezium is:

P = a + b_1 + b_2 + c

a = 14cm
b_1 = 12cm
b_2 = 8cm
c = 14cm
.

Now, substitute these values into the formula:

P = 14 + 12 + 8 + 14

Calculate:

P = 48cm

Therefore, the total amount of wire needed to make the frame is 48 cm.
4. When you play darts, you throw three darts at the board and add the scores.
Andi and Bart are practicing. Here are their scores for a number of turns.( 4M)

Andi 24, 22, 32, 59, 99, 59, 76, 83, 21, 95, 57
Bart 63, 25, 43, 28, 72, 61, 45, 46, 13

(a) Who has the better average score? Give a reason for your answer.
(b) Who has the more varied scores? Give a reason for your answer.
You must show your working for using statistics.

a. Andi means = 24+22+32+59+99+59+76+3+21+95+57/11 = 627/11 = 62

Bart means = 63+25+43+28+72+61+45+46+13/9 = 396/9 = 44

Andi has a higher average score (62) compared to Bart (44), so Andi has the better average score.
5.Al, Tom and Joe share $3000.The ratio of the amount Al gets to the amount Tom gets is in the
ratio 5:4. Joe gets 1.5 times the amount Tom gets. What is the amount of money that Tom gets?
Give reason for your answer. (4M)

Al gets as 5x, Tom gets 4x and Joe gets 1.5 * 4x = 6x (1.5 * amount Tom gets).

The total amount they share is $3000, so we can set up an equation:

5x + 4x + 6x = 3000

15x = 3000

x = 3000/15

x = 200

Now that we have the value of x, we can find the amount Tom gets 4:

Amount Tom gets = 4 * 200 = 800

So, Tom gets $800.

7. There are only blue counters, green counters, red counters and yellow counters in a bag. The
table shows the number of blue counters in the bag. (4 M)
Color blue green red yellow
Number of counters 30
There is a total of 100 counters in the bag. Ashin takes at random a counter from the bag.
(a) Find the probability that the counter is not blue.
The ratio of the number of blue counters to the number of green counters is 2:3
(b) Work out the number of green counters in the bag.
Bradley says, “The number of red counters in the bag is the same as the number of yellow
counters in the bag.”
(c) Can Bradley be correct? Give a reason for your answer.

To find the probability that the counter is not blue, you can subtract the probability of getting a
blue counter from 1 since the sum of all probabilities must equal 1.

P{Not Blue} = 1 - P{Blue}

P{Not Blue} = 1 - Number of Blue Counters/Total Number of Counters

P{Not Blue} = 1 - 30/100

Number of Green Counters= = 3x

Since the total number of counters is 100:

30 + 3x = 100

If Bradley says the number of red counters is the same as the number of yellow counters, let y
represent this common number:

Number of Red Counters= y

Number of Yellow Counters= y

Check if this is consistent with the given total number of counters 100.

30 + 3x + y + y = 100

Solve for x and y to see if the equation is satisfied.

 8.A bumblebee flies out from its hive to some flowers, and returns to its hive some
time later. Its journey is shown on the
distance-time graph. (4 M)
(a) Find the bumble-bee's outward journey speed in meters per second. 24m/s
(b) How long does the bee stay at the flowers? 10 mins
(c) Find the bumble-bee's return journey speed in meters per second. 12m/s
(d) Doing which part of the journey was the bumblebee fly faster. Why?

Outward part of the journey was the bumblebee fly faster because it only took 5 minutes to arrive its
destination and in return part of the journey it took 10 minutes so, 5 mins more than outward
journey.
9. Show that the line y = 3x+4 is perpendicular to the line x + 3y -3 =0. (5 M)
