Q11-16. It takes 50 minutes to cook a kilogram of pork joint plus an extra 20 minutes. Use the information given to complete the table below. Use the steps below to work out the cooking times for the different weights. Q11. Weight of pork joint = 1kg Time to cook = (50 mins x 1) + 20 mins Time to cook = 70 mins [Time to cook = 1 hour 10 mins] Q12. Weight of pork joint = 1½ kg Time to cook = (50 mins x 1½) + 20 mins Time to cook = 75 + 20 = 95 mins [Time to cook = 1 hour 35 mins] Q13. Weight of pork joint = 2 kg Time to cook = (50 mins x 2) + 20 mins Time to cook = 100 + 20 = 120 mins [Time to cook = 2 hours] Q14. Weight of pork joint = 2½ kg Time to cook = (50 mins x 2 ½) + 20 mins Time to cook = 125 + 20 = 145 mins [Time to cook = 2 hours 25 mins] Q15. Weight of pork joint = 3kg Time to cook = (50 mins x 3) + 20 mins Time to cook = 150 + 20 = 170 mins [Time to cook = 2 hours 50 mins] Q16. Weight of pork joint = 3 ½ kg Time to cook = (50 mins x 3 ½) + 20 mins Time to cook = 175 + 20 = 195 mins [Time to cook = 3 hours 15 mins] [See the completed table on the next page] 2 Access More @

When you divide numbers by powers of 10 (numbers starting with 1 with zeros at the end eg. 10, 100, 1000, 10000 etc) the decimal point hops backwards (to the left). The number of hops corresponds with the number of zeros. Dividing with 10 means the decimal point hops once because 10 has one zero. Dividing with 100 means the decimal point hops twice because 100 has two zeros. Dividing with 1000 means three hops, dividing with 10000 means four hops and so on.

Q40-41. To calculate the average age of the children, change the total age of the children from 'years and months' into 'only months'. Total age of the children = 53 years & 9 months Change into months = [(53 x 12) + 9 months] = 636 + 9 = 645 months To find average age = 645 5 = 129 months Average age per child = 129 months 129 months = (129 12) years [Average age per child = 10 years & 9 months] Q42. ½ = 50p 0.55 = 55p 27 x 2p = 54p 13/25 = 52p [(times top/bottom by 4) = 52/100] 1.00 49p = 51p Biggest value Least value [55p] [50p] [Adding the two] = [55p + 50p = 1.05] Q43-45.

w + 3w + 6w = 140 games [using algebra] 10w = 140 games w = 140 10 = 14 [w = 14 games] If w = 14, then Simon Arnie Nicholas w 3w 6w [1 x 14 = 14] [3 x 14 = 42] [6 x 14 = 84] [Simon has 14 games] [Arnie has 42 games] [Nicholas has 84 games] Check: [If you add up all the games the children have, they should total 140] Q46-50. Total number of children in the survey = [72] Q46-50. To find out the number of children choosing each colour, work out the size of the angle of the colour. Divide this angle size by 360º and then multiply your answer by 72 (the number of children taking part in the survey). So if the angle of the colour is 'w', then the number of children choosing that colour should be : 7 Access More @
