    Study Notes

    Multiple Choice Questions

    • Question 1: The symbols provided are: » (much greater than), ≤ (less than or equal to), > (greater than), and ¹ (one). The correct answer is ⁸ (one) as it does not relate to the mathematical operation of division.
    • Question 2: If the temperature rose by 6°C to reach 4°C, the initial temperature was 4°C - 6°C = -2°C.
    • Question 3: Given the fraction 2/3, converting this to a decimal gives 0.666666... Rounded to 3 decimal places, this becomes 0.667.
    • Question 4: The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by that number. Therefore, the reciprocal of 4/3 is 3/4.
    • Question 5: To find the sum of 50g, 750g and 2.5kg, convert all values to grams: 2.5kg = 2500g. The total then becomes 50g + 750g + 2500g = 3300g.
    • Question 6: Based on the provided image, it is evident that the temperature is 26°C.
    • Question 7: Given that the area of a rectangle is length times width, and the area is 15cm² and the width is 3cm, the length is 15cm² / 3cm = 5cm. The perimeter is then 2*(5cm + 3cm) = 16cm.
    • Question 8: Adding 3 hours 40 minutes and 2 hours 40 minutes results in 6 hours and 80 minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, this is equivalent to 6 hours and 20 minutes.
    • Question 9: Substituting x = -2 into the equation 3x+y=1 gives -6+y=1. The value of y is then 1+6=7.
    • Question 10: The expression for "the square of the sum of a and c" is (a+c)².
    • Question 11: In the expression 3a-4a, the coefficient of a is -1, as it precedes and multiplies a.
    • Question 12: Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation 12x-3=27 gives 12x=30.
    • Question 13: The angle in the diagram is a straight angle, which is 180 degrees.
    • Question 14: A 90° angle is a right angle, not acute. A straight angle is 180°, which is the size of two right angles.
      • False Statements: A revolution is 360°. An obtuse angle is between 90° and 180°.
    • Question 15: The adjacent angle to AXB is DXB, as they share a common side and vertex.
    • Question 16: 9: ⊥ The line segment perpendicular to the line segment is not clear and can't be determined using the provided information.
