1 One kilobyte, 1 kb, is one thousand bytes. One megabyte, 1 Mb, is one million bytes. One
gigabyte, 1 Gb, is one billion bytes.
The storage space of a camera phone is 9 Gb. A low-resolution photo is 240 kb, and a medium-
resolution photo is 1.2 Mb.
How many more low-resolution photos can be stored in the camera phone compared to the
medium-resolution photos? Express your answer in standard form.

4 Ken decides to treat his 12 good friends to some snacks at the school canteen. They can choose
between a cupcake or a cup of ice cream. A cupcake costs $1.20 and a cup of ice cream costs
$1.50. Two of his friends insist on having cupcakes.
By forming a linear inequality with x denoting the number of cups of ice cream, find the
maximum number of cups of ice cream his friends can have if Ken intends to spend no more
than $16 on the treat.

6 A bank pays investors r % per annum compound interest, compounded half-yearly. If an investor
puts in an amount of $45 972 at the start of a three-year period and he received $5800 as interest
at the end of three years, find the value of r correct to the nearest whole number.
8 At 09 00 , Johnston cycles to meet David who stays 20 km away. Johnston cycles at a uniform
speed of 18 km/h for half an hour, rests for 20 minutes and then continues the journey at a
uniform speed of 22 km/h. Calculate
(a) the distance, in km, travelled by Johnston for the first half an hour,
(b) the time taken, in minutes, for the second part of Johnston’s journey.
At 09 00 , David sets off from home on the same road to meet Johnston and cycles at a uniform
speed of 10 km/h.
(c) Calculate the time taken, in hours, for David to travel 20 km.
(d) Complete the distance-time graph, on the next page, of Johnston’s journey. [1]

The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows a trough constructed by taking a slice of a metal cylinder
of radius 50 cm and length 150 cm. The cross-section ACB of the trough is a segment of a circle
with centre O.
Given that angle AOB = 120°, find, correct to the nearest 1 cm2, the
(b) total surface area in contact with water when the trough is filled with water to the brim.
12 Construct triangle PQR such that PQ = 8.8 cm, PR = 9.2 cm and QR = 13 cm, where point P has
been drawn in the space below. The point T is such that it is equidistant from PQ, PR and QR.
T is the centre of a circle inscribed in triangle PQR. The inscribed circle just touches the three
sides of triangle PQR.

The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the cross-section of a toy which consists of three portions
fitted together to form a right circular cone, where AR is the line of symmetry. The toy can form
three similar cones, namely cone ASL, cone ATM and cone ABC. The toy has a base radius RC,
which is 7 cm and its height AR = 12 cm.
(b) the ratio of the curved surface area of cone ASL to the curved surface area of cone ABC,
(c) the ratio of the volume of cone ASL to the volume of frustum STML.
All three portions of the toy are made of the same material. Given that the mass of the smallest
portion is 30 g, find
