60cm2
- B.
60cm3
- C.
30cm2
- D.
17cm
- E.
Can't we don't know the third side
Correct Answer
C. 30cm2Explanation
The correct answer is 30cm2. To work out the area of a triangle, you need to know the length of the base and the height. Since the question does not provide any information about the base or height, it is not possible to calculate the area of the triangle. Therefore, the correct answer is that we don't know the area of the triangle.Rate this question:

- E.
A) very cold b) still cold c) still not warm enough im moving
Correct Answer
C. A) -6 b) 5 c) 11Explanation
To find the highest, lowest, and the range in temperature for the four cities, you simply need to compare the given temperatures.
The highest temperature is the highest number, which is 5 (in Belfast).
The lowest temperature is the lowest number, which is -6 (in Glasgow).
Now, to find the range, you subtract the lowest temperature from the highest temperature:
Range = Highest Temperature - Lowest Temperature
Range = 5 - (-6)
Range = 5 + 6
Range = 11
So, the highest temperature is 5, the lowest temperature is -6, and the range in temperature is 11 degrees.Rate this question:

121cm3
- C.
132cm3
- D.
66cm3
- E.
1000cm3
Correct Answer
D. 66cm3Explanation
The correct answer is 66cm3. To calculate the volume of a prism, you multiply the base area by the height. Since the question does not provide any specific measurements for the base or height, it is impossible to determine the exact volume. However, out of the given options, 66cm3 is the closest to a reasonable volume for a prism.Rate this question:

Solve 9 - 2x = 3 (x +2)
- A.
x = 3
- B.
x = 3/5
- C.
x = 0.2
- D.
x = 5
- E.
x = 0.1
Correct Answer
B. x = 3/5Explanation
To solve the equation 9 - 2x = 3(x + 2), we need to distribute the 3 on the right side of the equation. This gives us 9 - 2x = 3x + 6. Next, we can combine like terms by subtracting 3x from both sides, resulting in 9 - 5x = 6. To isolate the variable, we can subtract 9 from both sides, giving us -5x = -3. Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by -5, which gives us x = 3/5.Rate this question:

- A.
60
- B.
48
- C.

- D.
32
- E.
64
Correct Answer
E. 64Explanation
To work out 80 x 4/5, you multiply 80 by 4 and then divide the result by 5. Multiplying 80 by 4 gives you 320, and dividing 320 by 5 gives you 64. Therefore, the correct answer is 64.Rate this question:

- E.
A) 32 and 80 b) 25 c) 69
Correct Answer
B. a) 32 and 25 b) 32 c) 49Explanation
The first condition states to write down two numbers with a sum of 57. The numbers 32 and 25 satisfy this condition as 32 + 25 = 57. The second condition asks for a multiple of 8 from the list. 32 is a multiple of 8 as 8 x 4 = 32. The third condition asks for a square number. 49 is a square number as it is the square of 7 (7 x 7 = 49). Therefore, the correct answer is a) 32 and 25, b) 32, c) 49.Rate this question:

A) 3/5 b) 0.6, 70%, 2/3 , 3/4
Correct Answer
B. A) 3/5 b) 0.6, 2/3, 70%, 3/4Explanation
a) To write 60% as a fraction, we can convert the percentage to a fraction by dividing it by 100. Therefore, 60% is equal to 60/100, which can be simplified to 3/5.
b) To arrange the numbers in order of size, we start with the smallest number and compare them.
The numbers in order of size are: 0.6, 2/3, 70%, 3/4.Rate this question:

A) 19, 23, 28 b) 4n - 2 c) 398
- E.
A) 19, 23, 28 b) 4n-1 c) 398
Correct Answer
C. A) 19, 23, 27 b) 4n -1 c) 399Explanation
The pattern in the given sequence is that each term is obtained by adding 4 to the previous term. So, the next three terms would be obtained by adding 4 to the last term, which are 19, 23, and 27. The n-term rule for this sequence can be represented as 4n - 1, where n is the position of the term in the sequence. To find the 100th term, substitute n = 100 in the n-term rule, which gives 4(100) - 1 = 399.Rate this question:

Work out the area of the quadrilateral PQRS ?
- A.
289 cm2
- B.
240 cm2
- C.
169 cm2
- D.
300cm2
- E.
68cm2
Correct Answer
C. 169 cm2Explanation
The area of a quadrilateral can be calculated by dividing it into triangles and finding the sum of their areas. In this case, we can divide PQRS into two triangles: PQS and SQR. The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula 1/2 * base * height. By finding the base and height of each triangle, we can calculate their individual areas and then add them together to find the total area of PQRS. The correct answer of 169 cm2 indicates that this calculation has been done correctly.Rate this question:

- E.
A) 5cm b) 11cm c) 7cm
Correct Answer
D. A) 5cm b) 11cm c) 3.5cmExplanation
On the map, 1 cm represents 2 km. To find the distance on the map that represents a real distance, we can use the ratio of 1 cm to 2 km.
a) For 10 km, we can set up the proportion: 1 cm / 2 km = x cm / 10 km. Solving for x, we get x = 5 cm.
b) For 22 km, we can set up the proportion: 1 cm / 2 km = x cm / 22 km. Solving for x, we get x = 11 cm.
c) For 7 km, we can set up the proportion: 1 cm / 2 km = x cm / 7 km. Solving for x, we get x = 3.5 cm.Rate this question:
