Calculator not allowed: Find the highest common factor of 48 and 72
Correct Answer
24Explanation
The highest common factor (HCF) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both of them without leaving a remainder. In this case, we can find the HCF of 48 and 72 by listing out their factors and finding the largest one they have in common. The factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48. The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72. The largest factor that they both have in common is 24, so the HCF of 48 and 72 is 24.Rate this question:

Calculator not allowed Find the Lowest Common Multiple of 24 and 18
Correct Answer
72Explanation
The lowest common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that is divisible by both numbers. To find the LCM of 24 and 18, we can list the multiples of each number and find the smallest number that appears in both lists. The multiples of 24 are 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, ... and the multiples of 18 are 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, ... The smallest number that appears in both lists is 72, so 72 is the LCM of 24 and 18.Rate this question:

Calculator not allowed Given that 7 x 8 = 56, what is 70 x 800?
Correct Answer
56000
56,000Explanation
The given question asks to calculate 70 x 800. To find the answer, we can use the distributive property of multiplication. We know that 70 = 7 x 10 and 800 = 8 x 100. Therefore, 70 x 800 = (7 x 10) x (8 x 100) = 7 x 8 x 10 x 100 = 56 x 1000 = 56,000.Rate this question:
- 19.
Calculator not allowed Given that 7 x 8 = 56, what is 0.08 x 0.7?
Correct Answer
0.056Explanation
To solve this question, we can multiply 0.08 by 0.7 without using a calculator. We can start by multiplying 8 by 7, which equals 56. Since there are two decimal places in the question (0.08 and 0.7), we need to move the decimal point two places to the left in our answer. Therefore, the answer is 0.056.Rate this question:
- 20.
Calculator not allowed Given that 7 x 8 = 56, what is 5.6 ÷ 7?
Correct Answer
0.8Explanation
To find the value of 5.6 divided by 7, we can use the fact that 7 multiplied by 8 is equal to 56. Since 5.6 is 10 times smaller than 56, we can divide 56 by 10 to get the answer. Therefore, 5.6 divided by 7 is equal to 0.8.Rate this question:
- 21.
Calculator not allowed Given that 7 x 8 = 56, what is 5600 ÷ 0.8?
Correct Answer
7000Explanation
To find the answer, we divide 5600 by 0.8. Since calculator is not allowed, we can use long division method. Dividing 5600 by 0.8 gives us 7000. Therefore, the answer is 7000.Rate this question:

Calculator not allowed A teacher earning £25,000 a year is given a pay rise. The new salary if £26,000. What is the percentage increase in salary?
Correct Answer
4
4%Explanation
The percentage increase in salary can be calculated by finding the difference between the new salary and the old salary, which is £26,000 - £25,000 = £1,000. Then, divide this difference by the old salary (£1,000 / £25,000) and multiply by 100 to convert it into a percentage. This gives us a percentage increase of 4%.Rate this question:

Starting from n=1, what is the 4th numer in a sequence whose general term is n2 + 1?
Correct Answer
26
677Explanation
The general term of the sequence is n^2 + 1. Plugging in n=1 gives us 1^2 + 1 = 2. Plugging in n=2 gives us 2^2 + 1 = 5. Plugging in n=3 gives us 3^2 + 1 = 10. Plugging in n=4 gives us 4^2 + 1 = 17. Therefore, the 4th number in the sequence is 17.Rate this question:

Simplify the following expression: 6a + 3b - 8a + 2b
Correct Answer
5b-2a
5b - 2aExplanation
The given expression involves adding and subtracting variables. To simplify it, we can combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the variables. In this case, we have 6a and -8a, which can be simplified to -2a. Similarly, we have 3b and 2b, which can be simplified to 5b. Therefore, the simplified expression is 5b - 2a.Rate this question:

If I walk a route which measures 7.5cm on a map with a scale of 1:100,000, how far will I actually walk in km?
Correct Answer
7.5
7.5km
7.5 kmExplanation
If the map has a scale of 1:100,000, it means that 1 cm on the map represents 100,000 cm in reality. Therefore, if you walk a route that measures 7.5 cm on the map, you will actually walk a distance of 7.5 x 100,000 cm in reality. Converting this to kilometers, you divide by 100,000 to get the answer of 7.5 km.Rate this question:

The linear scale factor between ABC and A'B'C' is 0.4. What is the length of A'C'?
Correct Answer
10
10cmExplanation
The length of A'C' is 10cm. This is because the linear scale factor between ABC and A'B'C' is 0.4, which means that every length in ABC is reduced to 0.4 times its original length in A'B'C'. Since the length of AC is 10cm, the length of A'C' will also be 10cm.Rate this question:
- 35.
The linear scale factor between ABC and A'B'C' is 0.4. What is the length of B'C'?
Correct Answer
6
6cmExplanation
The length of B'C' is 6 or 6cm because the linear scale factor between ABC and A'B'C' is given as 0.4. This means that every length in ABC is multiplied by 0.4 to get the corresponding length in A'B'C'. Since the length of BC is not specified, we can assume it to be 6 or 6cm and multiply it by 0.4 to get the length of B'C', which is also 6 or 6cm.Rate this question:

What is the surface area of a cuboid with dimensions 7cm, 10cm and 13cm? (enter the digits only, not the units)
Correct Answer
582Explanation
The surface area of a cuboid can be calculated by adding the areas of all six faces. The formula for the surface area of a cuboid is 2(length × width + length × height + width × height). Plugging in the given dimensions of 7cm, 10cm, and 13cm into the formula, we get 2(7 × 10 + 7 × 13 + 10 × 13) = 2(70 + 91 + 130) = 2(291) = 582.Rate this question:

What is the average speed for a journey of 175km undertaken in 2 hours and 30 mins? (enter the digits only, not the units)
Correct Answer
70Explanation
The average speed for a journey is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. In this case, the total distance is 175 km and the total time is 2 hours and 30 minutes, which is equivalent to 2.5 hours. Dividing 175 km by 2.5 hours gives us an average speed of 70 km/h.Rate this question:

How many planes of symmetry does a cuboid with dimensions 4cm x 4cm x 9cm have?
Correct Answer
5Explanation
A cuboid with dimensions 4cm x 4cm x 9cm has 5 planes of symmetry. This is because a plane of symmetry divides an object into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other. In this case, there are 5 different planes that can divide the cuboid into two equal halves. These planes can be imagined as cutting the cuboid vertically in the middle, horizontally in the middle, and diagonally through the corners.Rate this question:

Every square is a parallellogram
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Every square is a parallelogram because a square has four sides that are all equal in length and four angles that are all right angles. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length. Since a square meets all the criteria of a parallelogram, it can be concluded that every square is a parallelogram. Therefore, the correct answer is True.Rate this question:

Every rhombus is a square
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement "Every rhombus is a square" is false. While it is true that a square is a type of rhombus with equal angles, not every rhombus is a square. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length, but its angles can be any value other than 90 degrees. Therefore, there are rhombuses that are not squares.Rate this question:
