Answers

  1. M x m value =
    2.655 + 6.415
    6.405 – 2.655
    =9.07
      3.75
    = 2.4187
  2.  
    1. Number of tiles to cover the room =
      10.5 x 6
      0.3 x 0.3
      = 700 tiles
    2.  
      1. 15 x 700 tiles
          20
        cost = 525 x 800
        = Ksh. 420,000
      2. Other expenses = 2000 + 600 = 2600/=
        Total expenses = Kshs. 420,000 + 2600
        = Kshs. 422600
        Selling price = 112.5/100 x 422600
        = Kshs. 475, 425
        Selling price per tile =
        475425
        525 x 20
        = 45.27
        = Kshs. 45.00
  3. AC = 10 = AC = 8.66
    Sin 60o
    <A70o, BC = 10 = BC = 8.91
            Sin 70o
    Area = ½ x 8.66 x 8.91 sin 50o
    = 27.28
  4. S = ½ (170 + 190 + 210)
    S = 285
    area 5a
  5. LCM of 30, 50 and 35 mins
    30 = 2 x 3 x 5
    35 = 5x 7
    50 = 2 x 52
    Into hrs (1050/60) hrs = 17.5hrs
    Next wail together at
      7:18
    +17:30
    24:48
    = at 1. 48 a.m on Tuesday
  6. Maize – ¼ x 2/3 = 1/6
    Remainder – 2/31/6 = 3/6 = ½
    Beans – 4/5 x ½ = 2
    carrrots – 1/5 x 1/2 = 1/10
    Let total area of farm be x acres
    1x/10 x 0.9
    =9 acres
