Question 45


a)  Step 1: Find how many "3m" are there in 756m.

Take total 756m divided by "3m"  ----> 756m divided by 3m = 252

There is a total of 252 young trees.

In a circle, the number of spaces between 2 trees is equal to the number of trees.


b)  1 tree ---> $14
     252 trees ---> $14  x 252  = $3528

It costs $3528 to plant all the trees.

Question 44

Step 1: Draw model.

1 Dining Table ---> 4 units
1 Chair ---> 1 unit


Step 2: Find total
1 Dining Table + 4 Chairs = 4 units + 4 units = 8 units



Step 3: Find 1 unit (1 chair)

8 units --->  $1276

1 unit ---> $1276 divided by 8 = $159.50

One chair costs $159.50.



b)  1 dining table + 6 chairs = 4 units + 6 units = 10 units

If 1 unit ----> $159.50

10 units ----> $159.50 x 10 = $1595

Collin paid $1595.

Question 43


Step 1: Draw models

Step 2: Look at the models and you can see that there are 4 equal units, with the extra   2 5/6 ,  2 5/6 ,  1 3/4.


Step 3: To find the 1 unit, we must take the total and minus away 2 5/6 ,  2 5/6 ,  1 3/4.

19 5/12  -  2 5/6  - 2 5/6  - 1 3/4  = 12


Step 4:

So, 4 units ----> 12 kg

1 unit ----> 12kg divided by 4  = 3kg


Step 5:

Compare Mr Sim's model to Mrs Poh's,

Add up all the extra models

3 +  2 5/6  +  1 3/4   = 7 7/12 kg

Mrs Sim bought 7 7/12 kg more flour than Mr Poh.

Question 41

Step 1: Draw models

It is printed that Benjamin is 1.4m tall.

Step 2: If you know Benjamin is 1.4m tall, you can find Kathy (0.18m shorter)
So, Kathy ----> 1.4m - 0.18m = 1.22m


Step 3: If you know Benjamin is 1.4m tall, you can also find Betty (0.3m taller)
So, Betty ----> 1.4m + 0.3m = 1.7m


Step 4: You can find the total height of Betty and Kathy now.

Total ----> Kathy + Betty
             =  1.22m + 1.7m
             = 2.92m






Question 42

Step 1: Draw models

You know that Mr Yeo has $6000. He gave his wife $2280.

Step 2: You can find how much he is left after giving his wife
Mr Yeo left ----> $6000 - $2280 = $3720



You know that he gave 5/8 of this remaining $3720 to his 3 children.

Step 3: Find 5/8 of this remaining $3720.

$3720 is cut into 8 units, so
1 unit ----> $3720 divide by 8 = $465

You know 1 unit is $465 now, so you can find 5/8 which is 5 units.
5units-----> $465 x 5  = $2325



Step 4:He gave 5/8 to his 3 children, means he gave $2325 to his 3 children.

So, 3 children ----> $2325
1 child ---->  $2324 divided by 3  = $775

~ Weekend ~

Work to be done:

1) Please be WELL-PREPARED for your CA2 English paper on Monday

2) Bring your Math books/worksheets including Math CA2 Revision Paper  on Monday !!!

3) CA2 period. NO P.E LESSON. WEAR SCHOOL UNIFORM.

ALL THE BEST ANGELS !!

YOU CAN DO IT !!

~ CA2 Synthesis ~

Make sure you know how to use:

1) 'while'



Example:
Josiah was running along the corridor.
He saw a wallet on the floor.
1) Josiah saw a wallet on the floor while he was running along the corridor.

2) While Josiah was running along the corridor, he saw a wallet on the floor.


Rule 1:
The longer event (was running), MUST always be AFTER THE WORD "while".

Rule 2:
"Josiah saw a wallet" NOT  "He saw a wallet." in Example 2.
Always specify the Subject/Noun at the beginning of the sentence!

Rule 3:
Remember to put "  ,  "  in the middle of the sentence if while is used at the start of the sentence.

~ CA2 Synthesis ~

Make sure you know how to use:

2) 'neither .... nor'


Example 1:
Cherie did not go to school. Cherie did not go to student care.

Cherie went neither to school nor to student care.


Rule 1: Always change the negative verb "did not go" into a POSITIVE FORM of the verb "went".

* Look at how the verb is actually changed to the past tense: did not go changed to went.



Example 2:
Atikah is not naughty.
Her siblings are not naughty.

Neither Atikah nor her siblings are naughty.


Rule 2: Make sure you use the appropriate grammar (is/are) based on the LAST SUBJECT, in this case "sibilings" so we'll use "are".

~ Synthesis for CA2 ~

Make sure you know how to use:

1) 'because'


Example:
Aqil's work was very untidy so the teacher made him do it again.

The teacher made Aqil do his work again because it was very untidy.

** Change "him" into Aqil  and "it" into his work!!!


Many of you just COPIED BLINDLY..

Example:
The teacher made him do it again because Aqil's work was very untidy.  (WRONG) !!! 

Pronoun cannot come first !! You must tell the reader who is the HIM ?!?! What is IT ?!?!?!

Do not make the same careless mistake for CA2 !!!
