Solution

Let's address each question one by one:

Question 2:

Find the highest common factor of 24 and 96

To find the highest common factor (HCF), list the factors of each number:

  • Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
  • Factors of 96: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 96

The highest common factor is 24.

Question 3:

Find the nth term of 8, 19, 30, 41, ...

To find the nth term, we first identify the common difference between the terms:

  • 198=1119 - 8 = 11
  • 3019=1130 - 19 = 11
  • 4130=1141 - 30 = 11

The common difference is 11, so this is an arithmetic sequence. The nth term formula for an arithmetic sequence is: an=a1+(n1)da_n = a_1 + (n - 1) \cdot d where a1=8a_1 = 8 and d=11d = 11. Substituting these values, we get: an=8+(n1)11=11n3a_n = 8 + (n - 1) \cdot 11 = 11n - 3

Question 6:

Work out 6×72×56 \times 7 - 2 \times 5

Follow the order of operations (BIDMAS/BODMAS): 6×7=42and2×5=106 \times 7 = 42 \quad \text{and} \quad 2 \times 5 = 10 4210=3242 - 10 = 32 So, the answer is 32.

Question 7:

Work out 33×4.933 \times 4.9

33×4.9=161.733 \times 4.9 = 161.7

Question 10:

Work out 2520÷282520 \div 28

2520÷28=902520 \div 28 = 90

Question 11:

112+251\frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{5}

First, convert 1121\frac{1}{2} to an improper fraction: 112=321\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} Now add 32+25\frac{3}{2} + \frac{2}{5}. To do this, find a common denominator, which is 10: 32=1510and25=410\frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{10} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{10} 1510+410=1910=1910\frac{15}{10} + \frac{4}{10} = \frac{19}{10} = 1\frac{9}{10} So, the answer is 19101\frac{9}{10}.
