  1. (a) The table shows part of a bus timetable.
    (i) Yana leaves home at 1050.
    She takes 14 minutes to walk to the bus stop at City Gate.
    At what time does she reach the bus stop?
    (ii) She gets on the next bus at City Gate and travels to Kingswood Park.
    At what time does this bus arrive at Kingswood Park?
    (iii) Work out how many minutes the bus takes to get from City Gate to Kingswood Park.
    (b) Ivan walks 1.5 km from his home to Kingswood Park.
    He takes 20 minutes.

    (ii) a two-digit square number,
    (iii) a two-digit cube number,
    (iv) a two-digit prime number.
    (b) Insert one pair of brackets into this statement to make it correct.
    7 × 5 – 2 + 3 = 42
    (c) (i) Write 60 as a product of its prime factors.
    (ii) Find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 36 and 60.
    (d) Find the value of


  1. Joel spins a fair five-sided spinner numbered 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
    (a) Write down the probability that the spinner lands on
    (i) an odd number,
    (ii) a prime number,
    (iii) the number 7.
    (b) The table shows the results of his first 20 spins.
    (i) Write down the mode.
    (ii) Calculate the mean.
    (iii) Joel wants to draw a pie chart to show the results in the table.
    (a) Show that the sector angle for the number 2 is 54°.
    (b) Find the sector angle for the number 6.
    (c) Joel asks 30 students to guess the number that the spinner will land on next.
    This pie chart shows the results.
    (i) The sector angle for the number 6 is 168°.
    How many students guessed the number 6?
    (ii) Find the percentage of the students who guessed a number less than 5.
    (iii) Joel spins the spinner.
    10% of the students guessed correctly.
    Which number did the spinner land on?
  2. (a) A farmer has 45 horses and 20 cows.
    (i) Write this as a ratio of horses : cows.
    Give your answer in its simplest form.
    (ii) The farmer wants the ratio of horses : cows to equal 5 : 3.
    He keeps his 45 horses and buys some more cows.
    Work out the number of cows he must buy.
    (b) Six years ago the farmer invested $3750 at a rate of 4% per year compound interest.
    (i) Calculate the total value of his investment after the 6 years.
    Give your answer correct to the nearest dollar.
    (ii) The farmer wants to spend his investment on buying goats.
    Goats cost $126 each.
    Work out the maximum number of goats he can buy and the amount of money left over.
    (c) The farmer grows carrots.
    In 2018 the selling price for carrots was $96 per tonne.
    In 2019 this selling price increased by 18%.
    Work out the increase in the selling price from 2018 to 2019.

    Work out how many dots are in this pattern.
  4. (a) Solve these equations.
    (i) x + 7 = 15
    (ii) 5(3x + 8) = 10
    (b) A club is arranging transport for its members.
    Speedy Coaches charge $625 plus $15 per member.
    The total cost, in dollars, for x members is given by the expression 15x + 625.
    (i) Sporty Coaches charge $117 plus $19 per member.
    Write an expression for the total cost, in dollars, for x members.
    (ii) The total cost is the same for both Speedy Coaches and Sporty Coaches.
    Write down an equation and solve it to find x.
