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 outTo 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

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 outTo 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

MENTAL ARITHMETIC

Question What is ¾ of 180?

How to work it outDivide 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

Question What is 5/8 as a percentage?

How to work it outDivide 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 outMultiply by 100.

So 0.8 x 100

80%

AREA AND PERIMETER

Question What is the area of this equilateral square?

How to work it outArea = Base x height

So 8 x 8

64

Question What is the perimeter of this equilateral square?

How to work it outPerimeter = add all the sides together

So 8 + 8 + 8 + 8

32

Question What is the area of this shape?

How to work it outWork out the square

5 x 5 = 25

Work out the triangle

9 x 5 = 45 ÷ 2 = 22.5

So 22.5 + 25

47.5

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 outAdd 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

ANGLES Question What is the missing angle?How to work it outTriangles 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 out180° ÷ 9 = 20

So, 2 x 20 = 40°3 x 20 = 60°4 x 20 = 80°

40°
