Question 1

Diagram 1 shows a Cartesian plane. What is the horizontal distance of point B from the origin?
Cartesian plane with three points marked A, B and C
Diagram 1
Show answerHide answer
B
B is at (5, 2). The first number is the horizontal distance, so it is 5 units. 2 units is the vertical distance.

Question 2

Point P is at (2, 1) and point Q is at (7, 5). What are the horizontal distance and the vertical distance from P to Q?
Show answerHide answer
D
Horizontal: 7 − 2 = 5 units. Vertical: 5 − 1 = 4 units. 9 and 6 come from adding instead of subtracting.

Question 3

Diagram 2 shows some fruit. What is the ratio of the number of mangoes to the total number of fruits?
3 mangoes in the top row and 5 rambutans in the bottom row
Diagram 2
Show answerHide answer
A
There are 3 mangoes and 3 + 5 = 8 fruits in all. The ratio of mangoes to all fruits is 3 : 8. 3 : 5 compares mangoes with rambutans only.

Question 4

A rope is 2 m long and a ribbon is 70 cm long. Which is the correct first step to state the ratio of the length of the rope to the length of the ribbon?
Show answerHide answer
C
The units must be the same. 2 m = 200 cm, so the ratio is 200 : 70. 70 cm is not 7 m (it is 0.7 m).

Question 5

A batik cake needs 200 g of butter for every 600 g of Marie biscuits. How many grams of Marie biscuits are needed for 500 g of butter?
Show answerHide answer
B
100 g of butter goes with 600 g ÷ 2 = 300 g of biscuits. 500 g is 5 × 100 g, so 5 × 300 g = 1 500 g.

Question 6

The price of 1 kg of green beans is RM8.50. What is the price of 1 kg 200 g of green beans?
Show answerHide answer
A
100 g costs RM8.50 ÷ 10 = RM0.85, so 200 g costs RM1.70. RM8.50 + RM1.70 = RM10.20.

Question 7

Package R has a mass of 1 kg and package T has a mass of 3 kg. A 4 kg watermelon is put inside package R. What is the ratio of the mass of package R now to the total mass of R and T?
Show answerHide answer
D
R now has 1 + 4 = 5 kg. The total mass is 5 + 3 = 8 kg. The ratio is 5 : 8.

Question 8

Diagram 3 shows the duty position of Jessica at point H. Resma's duty position is 4 units to the right and 3 units up from H. What is the coordinate of Resma's position?
Cartesian plane with point H at (1, 2)
Diagram 3
Show answerHide answer
C
Horizontal: 1 + 4 = 5. Vertical: 2 + 3 = 5. The coordinate is (5, 5). (4, 3) is only the distance, not the position.
