Questions and Answers

Explain the difference between LCM and HCF, and provide a context where using HCF would be more appropriate than LCM.

LCM is the smallest multiple common to both numbers, while HCF is the largest factor common to numbers. HCF is used to divide things into smaller parts, LCM to see when events align.

Convert the decimal 0.375 into a fraction in its simplest form and show the steps.

  1. 375 = 375/1000. Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by 125 to get 3/8.

Describe the relationship between two numbers if their HCF is 1 and explain its significance.

The numbers are co-prime (relatively prime). They share no common factors other than 1.

Explain the BODMAS rule and why it is important in solving mathematical expressions.

<p>BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) dictates the order of operations to ensure mathematical expressions are solved unambiguously.</p>

If a store offers a 20% discount on an item originally priced at $50, and then charges 8% sales tax on the discounted price, what is the final price the customer pays?

<p>Discounted price = $50 - 20% of $50 = $40. Sales tax = 8% of $40 = $3.20. Final price = $40 + $3.20 = $43.20.</p>

Explain the difference between direct and inverse proportions, and give an example of each in a real-world scenario.

<p>In direct proportion, as one quantity increases, the other increases. Example: more hours worked, more pay. In inverse proportion, as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Example: more workers, less time to complete a job.</p>

A train travels 120 km in 2 hours. Assuming the speed remains constant, how long will it take to travel 300 km?

<p>Speed = distance/time = 120 km / 2 hours = 60 km/h. Time to travel 300 km = 300 km / 60 km/h = 5 hours.</p>

If a shopkeeper buys an item for $80 and sells it for $100, what is the profit percentage?

<p>Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price = $100 - $80 = $20. Profit percentage = (Profit / Cost Price) * 100 = (20 / 80) * 100 = 25%.</p>

Find the area and perimeter of a rectangle with length 12 cm and width 8 cm.

<p>Area = Length * Width = 12 cm * 8 cm = 96 cm². Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width) = 2 * (12 cm + 8 cm) = 40 cm.</p>
