- 7 tenths
- 7 units
- 7 tens
- 7 hundredths
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — 7 tenths
Award 1 mark. The first place after the decimal point is the tenths place, so the 7 is worth 7/10. The 5 beside it is the digit worth 5 hundredths.
Q2 · Difficulty 1/3
Which one of these is an improper fraction?
- 7/4
- 2 1/3
- 4/9
- 3/5
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — 7/4
Award 1 mark. An improper fraction has a numerator that is bigger than its denominator, and 7 is bigger than 4. The value 2 1/3 is a mixed number, not an improper fraction.
Q3 · Difficulty 1/3
Which of these numbers is a square number?
- 90
- 50
- 60
- 121
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — 121
Award 1 mark. A square number is made by multiplying a whole number by itself, and 11 × 11 = 121. No whole number multiplied by itself gives 50, 60 or 90.
Q4 · Difficulty 1/3
Which of these is the best buy for rice?
- 2 kg for $30
- 1 kg for $16
- 5 kg for $80

Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — 3 kg for $42
Award 1 mark. Work out the cost of 1 kg for each: $15, $14, $16 and $16. The lowest cost per kilogram is the best buy, which is $14 for the 3 kg bag.
Q5 · Difficulty 1/3
Which numeral is represented by 400 000 + 3 000 + 90 + 2?
- 403 092
- 400 392
- 403 92
- 43 092
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — 403 092
Award 1 mark. There are 4 hundred thousands, 0 ten thousands, 3 thousands, 0 hundreds, 9 tens and 2 units. The zeros must be written to hold the other digits in their correct places.
Q6 · Difficulty 1/3
Write 2 3/4 as an improper fraction.
- 23/4
- 11/4
- 9/4
- 5/4
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — 11/4
Award 1 mark. Each whole holds 4 quarters, so 2 wholes are 8 quarters, and 8 + 3 = 11 quarters. Writing the digits side by side gives 23/4, which is far too large.
Q7 · Difficulty 1/3
Riya buys a roti for $18 and a juice for $7. How much does she spend altogether?
- $25
- $26
- $11
- $24
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — $25
Award 1 mark. Add the two prices: $18 + $7 = $25. Subtracting instead would give $11, which answers a different question.
Q8 · Difficulty 1/3
A worker earns $85 a day. How much does she earn in 5 days?
- $425
- $90
- $405
- $445
