18 is divisible by 3
16 is divisible by 8

2 D7
144 ÷ 4 = 36.
Square root of 36 = 6.
x is greater than 6 so x must be 7

3 E 14.8oC
4 C 125g
250g is 2.5 times greater than 100g.
So, 50 x 2.5 = 125g

5 A 4 cm
Average of the parallel sides = (5 + 3) ÷ 2 = 4
cm.
Height = 16 ÷ 4 = 4 cm.

6 D £20,000
15,000 = 75% or 3/4
15,000 ÷ 3 x 4 = £20,000

7 C 11
7x + 8 = 107 – 2x
9x + 8 = 107
9x = 99
x = 11

8 A 135o
The only obtuse angle is 135o

9 D 15 + 16
15 + 16 = 31 🡨 highest answer

10 A 70g
Each small division on the scale is 5g.

11 D 280
800 ÷ 100 = 8
8 x 35 = 280

19 D 10
12 = 1
…
102 = 100
So there are 10 square numbers.

20 C 828 m
Use rounding for this question.
Approx 160 x 5 = 800.
The closest answer is 828 m

21 C 100
22 C 1650
3 x 500 + 150 = 1650

23 E3

6x – 30 = x
5x – 30 = 0
5x = 30
X=6
