    The table shows the distances (in miles) for automobile journeys between major English cities

    1 mile = 1.6 kilometres

    1. How much longer, to the nearest kilometre, is the distance from Exeter to Norwich than the distance from Bristol to Sheffield?
    • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is E.

    322 – 180 = 142 miles

    142 miles x 1.6 km/mile = 227.2 km, i.e. 227 kilometres

    2. John takes 3 hours and 2 minutes to drive from London to York. What, to the nearest kilometre per hour, is his average speed?
    • 1
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is C.

    3 hours and 2 minutes = 182 minutes = 182/60 hours

    209 miles = 334.4 km

    334.4 km / (182/60) h = 110.2 km/h i.e. 110 kilometres per hour

    3. Penelope drives from Norwich to Sheffield at 28 metres per second. To the nearest minute, how long does she take?
    • 1

    Explanation

    The correct answer is B.

    155 miles = 248 km = 248,000 metres

    248,000 m / (28 m/s) = 8857 seconds = 147.6 minutes

    i.e. 2 hours and 28 minutes (to the nearest minute)

    4. A return journey by car between which two cities would take 5 hours and 10 minutes at a speed of 96 kilometres per hour?
    • 1
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is D.

    As usual, there are various possible routes to the answer. One is:

    96 km/h = 60 mph = 1 mile per minute

    5 hours and 10 minutes = 310 minutes, so the return journey must be 310 miles. Hence, a one-way trip is 155 miles, as in D.

    The table shows different extremes of temperature as recorded in several cities in Kazakhstan over the same period of time.

    To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, a temperature value should be multiplied by 1.8, before adding 32.

    5. Which city had the highest recorded temperature in degrees Celsius?
    • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is E.

    This is a trick question, because the city with the highest recorded temperature will be the same regardless of the temperature scale used – Shymkent.

    6. What, in degrees Celsius, is the approximate difference between the highest recorded temperature in Astana and the lowest recorded temperature in Karaganda?
    • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is E.

    79.4°F = (79.4 – 32) / 1.8 = 26.3°C (3sf)

    1.3°F = (1.3 – 32) / 1.8 = -17.1°C (3sf)

    Difference = 26.3 – (-17.1) = 43.4°C (3sf)

    7. 40.9°C is best approximation for the difference between the highest and lowest recorded temperatures in which city?
    • 1
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is C.

    In the case of Shymkent:
    Highest recorded temp. = (96.5 – 32) / 1.8 = 35.8°C

    Lowest recorded temp. = (22.8 – 32) / 1.8 = -5.1°C

    Difference = 35.8 – (-5.1) = 40.9°C (3sf)

    8. The Kazakh city of Atyrau does not feature in the table, but its highest recorded temperature over the same period of time was 34°C. How many cities in the table does this top?
    • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is E.

    It makes sense to convert this figure into Fahrenheit:

    (34 x 1.8) + 32 = 93.2°F

    This is lower only than the highest recorded temperature in Shymkent, and so it tops five of the six cities in the table.

    Explanation

    The correct answer is D.

    The quickest way is to work out the difference in pounds before converting to stone:

    • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is A.

    400 g = 0.4 kg = 0.88 lb

    0.9 x 1364 lb / 0.88 lb per pie = 1395 pies (A)

    Forgetting to factor in the 90% will give D, 1550 pies.

    Explanation

    The correct answer is A.

    2000 ARS x 0.04 FJD/ARS = 80 FJD

    80 FJD x 17.22 ARS = 1377.6 ARS

    2000 – 1377.6 = 622 pesos, to the nearest whole number.

    Explanation

    5000 EGP x 0.31 DKK/EGP = 1550 DKK

    5841 – 5710.50 = 130.50 BDT more for the Fiji Dollars

    On the planet Zoog, 1 frump is worth 12 monads. There are 9 toubs to a rolot and 4 rolots in a gnit, and 5 gnits make up a frump – two-and-a-half of which make up a boole. 

    18. How many toubs is one monad worth?

    Explanation

    The correct answer is C.

    Booles are irrelevant to the question. A frump is worth 5 gnits, and thus 20 rolots or 180 toubs. So, 180 toubs is worth 12 monads, and our answer must be 180/12 = 15

    Huud runs in the local cross-country competition at a speed of 4.8 metres per second. Meanwhile, his pet snail, Ewan, spreads slime over a tile on his back patio at a rate of 3 square inches per minute. The race is 9 miles long and the square tile has side length 30 centimetres. 

    1 inch = 2.5 cm

    1 mile = 1.6 km

    19. If they start at the same time, who finishes first, Huud running the marathon or Ewan covering the tile?

    Explanation

    The correct answer is D.

    Huud: 9 miles x 1600 = 14000 m, divided by 4.8 m/s = 3000 seconds, divided by 60 seconds/min = 50 minutes

    Ewan: 30 cm / 2.5 = 12 inches, 12 x 12 = 144 square inches,

    Divided by 3 square inches/second = 48 minutes

    Conversion information:

    1 kg = 2.2 pounds (lb)

    1pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz)

    1 foot = 12 inches

    1 inch = 2.5 cm

    20. A piece of metal alloy weighs 12.8 grams and occupies a volume of 2 cm3. What is its density, in pounds per cubic inch?

    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is E.

    12.8 g = 0.0128 kg, x 2.2 = 0.02816 lb

    1 inch3 = 2.53 cm3 = 15.625 cm3 

    Therefore, the density = 0.02816 lb x 2/15.625 inch3 = 2.2 lb/inch3
