3. NUMBER SEQUENCES
Question
I think of a number. I then double it. I
add 4. The answer is 22.
What number did I start with?
How to work it out
To work out this type of question, you need
to work backwards. (Remember, when you
work backwards you have to do the
opposite to what it tells you in the
question).
So 22 – 4 (because it says add, you need to
minus) = 18
It then says double it, which means you
need to half it = 18 ÷ 2
9
4. Question
I think of a number. I multiply it by 5. I
add 3. I subtract 8. The answer is 95.
What number did I start with?
How to work it out
To work out this type of question, you need
to work backwards. (Remember, when you
work backwards you have to do the
opposite to what it tells you in the
question).
So 95 + 8 = 103
103 – 3 = 100
100 ÷ 5
20
5. MENTAL ARITHMETIC
Question
What is ¾ of 180?
How to work it out
Divide the whole number by the bottom
part of the fraction and multiply it by the
top number.
So 180 ÷ 4 = 45
45 x 3
135
6. Question
What is 5/8 as a percentage?
How to work it out
Divide the top number by the bottom
number and multiply by 100.
So 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625
0.625 x 100
62.5%
Question
What is 0.8 as a percentage?
How to work it out
Multiply by 100.
So 0.8 x 100
80%
7. AREA AND PERIMETER
Question
What is the area of this equilateral
square?
How to work it out
Area = Base x height
So 8 x 8
64
Question
What is the perimeter of this
equilateral square?
How to work it out
Perimeter = add all the sides together
So 8 + 8 + 8 + 8
32
8. Question
What is the area of this shape?
How to work it out
Work out the square
5 x 5 = 25
Work out the triangle
9 x 5 = 45 ÷ 2 = 22.5
So 22.5 + 25
47.5
9. GRAPHS AND CHARTS
Question
What is the
average of
History grades C
or above from
2004 to 2009? To
the nearest
whole number.
How to work it out
Add up all columns, and
divide it by how many there
are
56 + 64 + 72 + 78 + 84 + 58 =
412
412 ÷ 6 = 68.6666
To the nearest whole
number
69
10. ANGLES
Question
What is the missing
angle?
How to work it out
Triangles have 180°
So, 36 + 78 = 114
180 – 114
66
Question
A triangle has angles in the ratio
of 2 : 3 : 4. What is the size of the
smallest of the three angles?
How to work it out
180° ÷ 9 = 20
So, 2 x 20 = 40°
3 x 20 = 60°
4 x 20 = 80°
40°
