7 Three strings of different lengths, 175 cm, 147 cm and 126 cm, are to be cut into equal lengths. [2]
What is the greatest possible length of each piece?

7cm

8 Two lighthouses flash their lights every 40 seconds and 35 seconds respectively. [3]
Given that they flashed together at 9 pm, when will they next flash together ?

40 = 2 x 20 = 2 x 2 x 10 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5
45 = 5 x 9 = 5 x 3 x 3
LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 3 x 3 = 360 seconds
280 seconds = 60 minutes
9.00pm + 60 minutes = 10pm

9 Work out: [4]

a) 42 – 5 (7 – –3) b) (130 + –50) + 400 ÷ 42

16 - 5(10) = 16 - 50 = 34 80 + 25 = 105

10 You may use a calculator to work out the following (round the answers to 2 decimal places). [2]

a) 51.3 3 b) √576.8

135005.70 24.02

11 Write brackets to make these correct. [2]

a) 5 3 – 30 x 7 – 20 = -1235 b) 23 x 33 - 7 + –
18 x 2 = 124
(5 3 – 30) x (7 – 20) = -1235 8 x (27 - 7) + (-18 x 2) =
8 x 20 + -36 = 160 - 36 = 124
