SECTION A (10 MARKS)
-
Here are the solutions with steps to make them clear:
- i) 6118 + 82 + 384 = 6584
- ii) 13 + 24 ÷ 4 x 2 - 15 = 13 + 6 x 2 - 15 = 13 + 12 - 15 = 25 - 15 = 10 (Remember PEMDAS/BODMAS order of operations)
- iii) 8.01 - 5.632 = 2.378 (Careful with the decimal places!)
- iv) 5 1/3 ÷ 2 2/9 = 16/3 ÷ 20/9 = 16/3 x 9/20 = 4/1 x 3/5 = 12/5 = 2 2/5 (Convert to improper fractions, flip the second fraction and multiply)
- v) 72 - (-18 + 13) = 72 - (-5) = 72 + 5 = 77 (Subtracting a negative is the same as adding)
- vi) 16 2/3 - 13 = 50/3 - 39/3 = 11/3 = 3 2/3 (Convert to improper fractions)
- vii) 3 1/7 x 8 2/5 = 22/7 x 42/5 = 22/1 x 6/5 = 132/5 = 26 2/5
- viii) 1 3/5 ÷ 0.125 = 8/5 ÷ 1/8 = 8/5 x 8/1 = 64/5 = 12 4/5 (0.125 is equal to 1/8)
- ix) 6002 - 718 = 5284
- x) 1/2 - 202/10² = 1/2 - 202/100 = 50/100 - 202/100 = -152/100 = -1.52
SECTION B (30 MARKS)
-
Here are the answers with explanations:
- i) Smallest number from 7, 0, 1, 3: 1037 (You can't start with 0)
- ii) 1.5% as a decimal: 0.015 (Percent means "out of 100," so divide 1.5 by 100)
- iii) LCM and GCF of 12, 18, and 30:
- LCM (Least Common Multiple): 180
- GCF (Greatest Common Factor): 6
- Difference: 180 - 6 = 174
- iv) Ester and Rozi share 30,000 in the ratio 11:4
- Total ratio parts: 11 + 4 = 15
- Value of one part: 30,000 / 15 = 2,000
- Ester's share: 11 x 2,000 = 22,000
- Rozi's share: 4 x 2,000 = 8,000
- Difference: 22,000 - 8,000 = 14,000
- v) Cow produces 42 liters/day, how many days for 168 liters?
- Days = 168 liters / 42 liters/day = 4 days
- vi) South Africa independence in 1998, Ally was 7. How old in 2025?
- Ally's birth year: 1998 - 7 = 1991
- Ally's age in 2025: 2025 - 1991 = 34 years old

Let's solve these:
- i) 18 : 36 = 1/2 : K
- This is a proportion. Notice 18 is half of 36.
- So, 1/2 is half of K. Therefore, K = 1
- ii) Average of six numbers is 42. Five numbers are 48, 54, 18, 60, and 38. Find the sixth number.
- Total of six numbers: 42 x 6 = 252
- Sum of the five numbers: 48 + 54 + 18 + 60 + 38 = 218
- Sixth number: 252 - 218 = 34
- iii) Numbers divisible by 2 between 89 and 100:
- These are the even numbers: 90, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100
- There are 6 numbers.
- i) 18 : 36 = 1/2 : K
-
And finally:
- i) Steven deposits 400,000, 10% interest per year. Find the amount he has now. (The question implies one year).
- Interest: 10/100 x 400,000 = 40,000
- Total amount: 400,000 + 40,000 = 440,000 shillings
- Remember: I can't do the listening section (Question 1).
