  1. Convert 0.045 to a percentage.

    Answer: 4.5%

    To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100: 0.045 × 100 = 4.5%.

  2. A reading test has a mean score of 72 and a standard deviation of 8. A pupil scores 88. How many standard deviations above the mean is this?

    Answer: 2

    88 − 72 = 16. 16 ÷ 8 = 2. The pupil is 2 standard deviations above the mean.

  3. What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8?

    Answer: 24

    Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24. Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24. The lowest common multiple is 24.

  4. A teacher spends 2 hours and 45 minutes marking on Monday and 1 hour and 50 minutes on Tuesday. How long in total?

    Answer: 4 hours 35 minutes

    2h 45min + 1h 50min = 3h 95min = 4h 35min (since 95 min = 1h 35min).

  5. What is 3/7 as a decimal to two decimal places?

    Answer: 0.43

    3 ÷ 7 = 0.4285... which rounds to 0.43 to two decimal places.

  6. A pupil completes 24 out of 32 homework tasks. What fraction is this in its simplest form?

    Answer: 3/4

    24/32 simplifies by dividing both by 8: 24 ÷ 8 = 3, 32 ÷ 8 = 4, giving 3/4.
