   • 40,000
2. A bookstore had 30816 exercise books which were packed in cartons. Each carton contained 24 exercise books . The mass of an empty carton was 2kg and a full carton 12kg.
   1. How many cartons were there? (2mk)
      
      • 30816/24=1284
   2. What was the total mass of the empty cartons? (2mks)

   3. What was the total mass of the books alone? (2mks)
      
      • 12-2=10kg
        1284 x 10=12840kg
3. Work out (3mks)
   4+(-2)-3+5-(-7)
   4-2-3+5--7
   4-5+5+7
   =4+7
   =11
4. Express 113400 as a product of its prime factors. (2mks)
   
   • 2x2x2x3x3x3x3x5x5x7
5. Three masses of sugar are grouped into 0.36 kg, 0.504kg and 0.672 kg. Find the greatest mass of sugar that can be taken an exact number of times from the three masses. (Give your answer in kg) (3mks)
   

   (1/1000)	360	504	672
   2	180	0.252	336
   2	90	126	168
   2	45	63	84
   3	15	21	28

   
   2x2x2x3=24
   24g= 0.024kg
6. Find the greatest number which can divide 181 and 236 leaving a remainder of 5 in each case (3mks)
   

   	181-5	236-5
   11	176	231
   	16	21

   =11
7. The GCD of two numbers is 30 and their LCM is 900. If one of the number is 60 . What is the other possible number? (3mks)
          x, 60
   30, ^x/₃₀,2
   30 x ^x/₃₀ x 2=900
   2x=900
   x=450
8. Work out the following using a number line.
