  1. What is the square root of 144?

    Answer: 12

    12 × 12 = 144, so √144 = 12.

  2. A store sells 3 items for £7.50. What is the cost of one item?

    Answer: £2.50

    £7.50 ÷ 3 = £2.50 per item.

  3. Round 4,867 to the nearest hundred.

    Answer: 4,900

    The tens digit is 6 (≥ 5), so 4,867 rounds up to 4,900.

  4. If a = 5 and b = 3, what is 2a + 3b?

    Answer: 19

    2(5) + 3(3) = 10 + 9 = 19.

  5. A train journey costs £14.60 for an adult and £8.30 for a child. What is the total cost for 2 adults and 3 children?

    Answer: £53.90

    2 × £14.60 + 3 × £8.30 = £29.20 + £24.90 = £54.10.

  6. What is the remainder when 95 is divided by 8?

    Answer: 7

    8 × 11 = 88; 95 − 88 = 7, so the remainder is 7.

  7. A number is multiplied by 6 and then 14 is subtracted to give 40. What is the number?

    Answer: 9

    Let the number be n: 6n − 14 = 40 → 6n = 54 → n = 9.
