The distance between his home and workplace is 100 km.

10. a) (32y 4) - w M1
= (8y w) cm A1

b) To cut the big squares into 16 small squares,

the length of the big square is 4 times the length
of the small square,

8y = 4(8y 12) M1
8y = 32y 48
24y = 48
y=2 A1

Alternative Solution
8y 4 = 2y M1
2y = 8y 12
y=2 A1

11. LCM of 8, 5 and 2 = 40 M1

40 x 40 x 40 = 64 000 A1

Method 2:
FEG = 56 2

100% total 6u 37.5 x 100
= 16 u

10u + 16u = 26u = 156 marbles

1u = 156 marbles 26 = 6 marbles M1

In Bag Q, White marbles = 16u 6u = 10u

Total White marbles in both bags = 4u + 10u = 14u = 14 x 6 = 84 A1

b) Total black marbles in both bags = 156 84

= 72 M1

Total Marbles = 156 + 44 = 200

% of total black marbles = 72 200 x 100% = 36 % A1

Apples SOLD
Oranges 60

Since number of oranges is the number of apples,
5
Well convert the 4 BIG units of apples into 20 small units.

Apples
4 BIG units x 5 = 20 small units

2 8
Oranges
= of the apples, hence oranges has 8 small units
5 20

25 small units + 8 small units = 600+ 60 M1

33 small units = 660
1 small unit = 20

25 small units
20 x 25 = 500 apples M1

8 small units
20 x 8 = 160 oranges (finally) M1
160 60 = 100 oranges (at first)

500 100 = 400 more apples than oranges. M1,A1

Alternative Solution:
