Give your answer in centimetres. [Diagram or table: see page 5 of the paper] [1] The point Q is 2 cm from O. The angle between OP and OQ is a right angle. (b) Mark with a cross (×) a possible position of the point Q. Label the point Q. [2] Question 4 The bar chart gives information about the volume of fresh water made per day from sea water in each of four countries in 2015 [Diagram or table: see page 6 of the paper] (a) Write down the volume of fresh water made per day from sea water in Saudi Arabia in 2015 [Diagram or table: see page 6 of the paper] [1] More fresh water was made per day from sea water in the UAE in 2015 than was made per day from sea water in Spain in 2015 (b) How much more? [Diagram or table: see page 6 of the paper] [2] 1.7 million m^3 of fresh water was made per day from sea water in Qatar in 2015 (c) Draw a bar on the bar chart to show this information. [1] Question 5 Here is a list of numbers. [Diagram or table: see page 7 of the paper] (a) Which number in the list is a multiple of both 6 and 9? [1] Two numbers in the list are factors of 90 (b) Which two numbers? [Diagram or table: see page 7 of the paper] [2] (c) Write down two numbers in the list that have a sum that is a prime number. [Diagram or table: see page 7 of the paper] [1] Question 7 Juan and Gabriella and their two children are going on a train journey from Madrid. The cost of an adult ticket for this train journey is 53.50 euros. The cost of a child ticket for this train journey is 60% of the cost of the adult ticket. Juan buys 2 adult tickets and 2 child tickets. He pays with two 100 euro notes. How much change should he get? [Diagram or table: see page 9 of the paper] [4] Question 8 (a) Simplify 5x + 4y – x – y [2] (b) Solve 2t + 3 = 12 [Diagram or table: see page 9 of the paper] [2] Question 9 Here is a sequence of patterns made from white counters and black counters. [Diagram or table: see page 10 of the paper] (a) In the space below, complete Pattern number 4 [1] (b) Find the total number of counters in Pattern number 6 [1] (c) Work out the number of black counters in Pattern number 14 [1] (d) Work out the total number of counters in Pattern number 50 [2] Question 10 There are 20 beads in a box. 7 of the beads are red. 11 of the beads are green. The rest of the beads are yellow. Jan takes at random a bead from the box. (a) Write down the probability that she takes a red bead. [1] (b) Find the probability that she takes a red bead or a yellow bead. [2] There are 26 counters in a bag. 5 of the counters are pink. 10 of the counters are blue. The rest of the counters are white. Jan puts some more pink counters into the bag. She then takes some blue counters out of the bag. After she has done this there are still 26 counters in the bag. Jan then takes at random a counter from the bag. The probability that she takes a pink counter is 1/2 (c) What is the probability that she takes a blue counter? [3] Question 11 Here is a triangle S drawn on a grid of squares. [Diagram or table: see page 12 of the paper] (a) On the grid, reflect triangle S in the line with equation x = 5 Label the new triangle T. [2] (b) On the grid, reflect triangle T in the line with equation x = 2 Label the new triangle U. [1] (c) Describe fully the single transformation that maps triangle S onto triangle U. [2] Question 12 Andros wants to make a playlist of four songs for a friend. The total time taken by the four songs will be 20 minutes. The time taken by each of the first three songs is shown below. First song 6 minutes 16 seconds Second song 4 minutes 28 seconds Third song 4 minutes 35 seconds Work out the time taken by the fourth song. Give your answer in minutes and seconds.
