subjects.

Mathematics Paper II

1. Solve this problem using the rule of 'BODMAS':

610×37÷79+545\frac{6}{10} \times \frac{3}{7} \div \frac{7}{9} + \frac{5}{45}

Answer:

BODMAS order: Multiplication, Division, Addition\text{BODMAS order: Multiplication, Division,

Addition}

First, simplify fractions:

610=0.6,79=0.777,545=0.111\frac{6}{10} = 0.6, \frac{7}{9} = 0.777, \frac{5}{45} = 0.111

 Calculation:

0.6×37=0.257,0.257÷0.777=0.330.6 \times \frac{3}{7} = 0.257, 0.257 \div 0.777 = 0.33

Add:

0.33+0.111=0.4410.33 + 0.111 = 0.441

2. Simplify:

2.6×3.6×0.840.9×1.25×0.42\frac{2.6 \times 3.6 \times 0.84}{0.9 \times 1.25 \times 0.42}

Answer:

First simplify the numerator:

2.6×3.6×0.84=7.86242.6 \times 3.6 \times 0.84 = 7.8624

Now simplify the denominator:

0.9×1.25×0.42=0.47250.9 \times 1.25 \times 0.42 = 0.4725

Divide:

7.86240.4725=16.64\frac{7.8624}{0.4725} = 16.64

3. Venn diagram problem:

o Total sweets = 100
o Yellow = 30
o Pineapple taste = 22
o Yellow and pineapple taste = 12

a) Draw a Venn diagram.

Answer: Diagram should have two intersecting circles, with 12 in the intersection, 18 (30
- 12) in the yellow-only part, 10 (22 - 12) in the pineapple-only part, and 60 (100 - total of
both) outside both sets.

b) How many sweets with pineapple taste were not yellow?

Answer: 10

c) How many yellow sweets had no pineapple taste?

Answer: 18

d) How many sweets were neither yellow nor had pineapple taste?
Answer: 60
4. Market trading problem:
o 150 bundles of huckleberry at 4 for 200 FCFA = 1504×200=7,500\frac{150}{4} \times 200
= 7,500
o 40 buckets of groundnuts at 2000 FCFA each = 40×2000=80,00040 \times 2000 = 80,000
o 5 buckets of beans at 3000 FCFA each = 5×3000=15,0005 \times 3000 = 15,000

a) Total cost price:

Answer: 7,500+80,000+15,000=102,5007,500 + 80,000 + 15,000 = 102,500 FCFA

b) Selling price and profit calculation:

o Sell huckleberry at 125 FCFA each: 1504×125=4,687.5\frac{150}{4} \times 125 = 4,687.5

o Groundnuts at 2550 FCFA: 40×2550=102,00040 \times 2550 = 102,000
o Beans at 3350 FCFA: 5×3350=16,7505 \times 3350 = 16,750

Total selling price: 4,687.5+102,000+16,750=123,437.54,687.5 + 102,000 + 16,750 =

123,437.5

Profit = 123,437.5−102,500−5,000123,437.5 - 102,500 - 5,000 (for transport) = 15,937.5

FCFA.

Answer: Profit is 15,937.5 FCFA.

5. Find the area of the courtyard:

Length = 16 m, width = 6 m, extra section is 7 m by 5 m.

Answer: Area = 16×6=96 m2+7×5=35 m216 \times 6 = 96 \, m^2 + 7 \times 5 = 35 \,
m^2. Total area = 131 m².

b) Cost of fencing at 275 FCFA per meter.

Perimeter = 16+6+7+516 + 6 + 7 + 5 = 34 m.
Cost = 34×275=9,35034 \times 275 = 9,350 FCFA.
Answer: 9,350 FCFA.

6. Reading book problem:

Answer: If 150 pages are left after reading 2/5 of the book, then 3/5 = 150 pages.
Total book pages = 53×150=250\frac{5}{3} \times 150 = 250 pages.

7. Enrollment in a school:
o Class 1: Boys = 52, Girls = 40
o Class 2: Boys = 45, Girls = 52
o Class 3: Boys = 48, Girls = 38
o Class 4: Boys = 46, Girls = 34
o Class 5: Boys = 38, Girls = 42
o Class 6: Boys = 35, Girls = 30
 a) Total number of boys:
Answer: 52+45+48+46+38+35=26452 + 45 + 48 + 46 + 38 + 35 = 264

b) Total enrollment of the school:

Answer: 264+40+52+38+34+42+30=500264 + 40 + 52 + 38 + 34 + 42 + 30 = 500

c) Percentage of girls:
236500×100=47.2%\frac{236}{500} \times 100 = 47.2 \%
Answer: 47.2%

d) Total cost of feeding the school at 200 FRS per pupil:

500×200=100,000500 \times 200 = 100,000 FRS
Answer: 100,000 FRS

8. Running around a circular field:

Answer: Diameter = 70 m, circumference = πd=22/7×70=220\pi d = 22/7 \times 70 = 220

m.
