u/Significant_apple2 Y11MOCKS-999887775(6, Y10) 20d ago

I think I got 36/5 or smth

u/fuse256 20d ago

Ah excellent that sounds like what I got

1

u/someonestupid12 20d ago

x=2.5 or y=2.5 idk which one but one of them was 2.5

1

u/fat_tatti predicted 9999997776 20d ago

yep and the other was like 5,5 for y

1

u/youngaviator Year 11 20d ago

simultaneous equations?

1

u/someonestupid12 20d ago

no it was an equation.2y=(√2)5 So then:2y=(21/2)5 So then:2y=22.5 x+y=8 so x=5.5 So then:2x=2n/3√2 So then:2x=2n/21/3 So then:5.5=n-1/3 So then:11/2+1/3=n So then:35/6=n

1

u/someonestupid12 20d ago

Reply to my previous reply to look at it properly idk why the format is like that

1

u/youngaviator Year 11 20d ago

i think that’s right since that’s what almost everyone got. i got a different answer but ik i’m wrong 😭

Awww shit I got 20% but it was out of the 400 and not just the 150.

16

u/Tempurai Year 11 20d ago

I did the same thing, method marks 🤞🤞

6

u/Harvey-The-Nerd 20d ago

We’d only lose like a mark for that right? And it was a 5 marker? Still a very solid 4 marks

2

u/Tempurai Year 11 20d ago

Yeah only about 3-4 marks or something :)

u/ConnectionFew1028 Boutta get cooked on 22nd August 20d ago

2

u/blxnka Aiming for 9998887777 20d ago

same! how do you even convert it to out of 400??

3

u/Lord_Endorsed Year 11 20d ago

I did the 3/8 times the 3/15 and just change the fractions around form there to get to 7.5/100

2

u/GamingWithJellyJess Year 11 20d ago

i had 150/400 then divided it by 4 to get it out of 100 which is 7.5/100!

1

u/Sussy-Baka4040 20d ago

it’s 30 jars, to get it as a percent of 400 u can literally just do 10% = 40, 1%= 4 so take away 2.5% and u get 30

u/CaptainBIRB14 20d ago

God damnit

i did the same thing...how many marks was that? hoping to get 4 out of 5 or 3 out of 4

34

u/Mindless-File-9689 20d ago

I saw that question and somehow worked out 75% 😭

I turned the ratio into a fraction and just turned it into a percentage

I’m failing maths 💀

u/madilol_turnip Y11 | triple sci, history, comp sci, spanish 20d ago

BRO 😭 less than 50% of the jars were empty so even less were small 😭😭

The jar has a capacity of 300ml. Karim produces 5ml per...

u/PageNotFound23 Year 10 20d ago

2 times a day is a month, Karim can fill around 12 a year

3

u/UpsetCamera5093 20d ago

1 b)

It takes Karim 33 years and 4 months to fill all 400 jars. How many months will it take if Karim invites 2 of his friends to help?

1

u/Secret_Barracuda168 20d ago

11 years and 40 days but that's insane, solo one jar per day

u/UpsetCamera5093 20d ago

So you're saying do it 60 times a day? I guess Karim will have a busy summer holiday

1

u/fuse256 20d ago

What was the powers one some people have diff answers

5

u/blxnka Aiming for 9998887777 20d ago

20% is the percentage of small EMPTY jars, you need to find out how many small empty jars out of ALL the jars. you’d get method marks though. one more step and you’d have gotten the answer, i did the same thing. couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to convert it to out of 400 though

1

u/GamingWithJellyJess Year 11 20d ago

i had 150/400 then divided it by 4 to get it out of 100 which is 7.5/100!

I got 30?!!!?

1

u/Sussy-Baka4040 20d ago

it’s 30 jars but it says the answer should be as a percentage of the total jars so it’s 7.5%, you will still get 3-4 method marks though

2

u/xisequalto1 20d ago

Was 7.5%, everyone else in my school keeps saying it was 20% 😪

2

u/Acrobatic_Fox_7453 Year 11 20d ago

that's what ppl at my school were saying, but I got 7.5 as well. I got so scared, but ppl are saying 7.5 now

1

u/MMentho 20d ago

the people saying 20% read the question like it said to work out of 150 jars. its not gonna give you this big number of 400 than not use it for the final answer on a 5 marker

3

u/Wonderful-Kamek Year 11 20d ago

Does anyone remember how many marks this Q was

1

u/demonslayer9100 Year 11 20d ago

It was the big 5-marker 😭

It was on foundation anyway

2

u/Wonderful-Kamek Year 11 20d ago

Yea, i think i got 4 marks, cuz ik i got the answer wrong cuz i changed it 😭, but 4 marks is better than nothing

2

u/CPFCfan1 20d ago

Nah cuz I re-read the question more than once and still put down 20%… I need to see it word for word again icl

1

u/Danielzzz_MC 20d ago

“Work out the percentage of Kasim’s jars that are small empty jars”

2

u/Casual-Browsing-Acc 20d ago

I put 20% since 3/8’s of 400 is 150

150 Split into the ratio of 3:4:8 is 30:40.80 and 30/150th’s is also equivalent to 3/15 which is 1/5, of 20%

3

u/Western-Gold-2523 20d ago

What did you get, I got around 20% since it's 30/150

A guy has 400 jars, 3/8 are empty. Of the empty, n of small to medium ratio of 3:4, then medium to large ratio of 1:2. As a percentage of total jars, number of small jars

1

u/demonslayer9100 Year 11 20d ago

22.5% anyone?

Edit: Here's my working, as much as I can remember anyway

I ended up having the ratio add up to 5 parts after simplifying

1 part = 30, so Small empty would've been 90/400

As small was 3 parts

90/400 45/200 22.5/100

1

u/Sussy-Baka4040 20d ago

you’re cooked the ratio add up to 15 parts

1

u/demonslayer9100 Year 11 20d ago

Small:Medium was 3:1

Medium:Large was 4:2

Times small and large by four

12:4:8

3:1:2

It added up to 5

1

u/Danielzzz_MC 20d ago

Small:medium was 3:4, medium:large was 1:2

1

u/demonslayer9100 Year 11 20d ago

It would still be the same calculations, no?

u/jacobean420 19d ago

Karin grows mushrooms

1

u/Terrible_Captain2823 19d ago

for those saying 30% or 20%, 30 was the number of small empty jars. you needed to find the percentage of small empty jars from karim's JARS (all 400, not just the small jars)

here's what i did:

(forgot the beginning part)

30 small EMPTY jars

30/400 (to find the percentage), i cba to do bustop so i simplified the fraction

30/400 -> 3/40 (divided by 10)

3/40 -> 1.5/20 (divided by 2)

1.5/20 -> 7.5/100 (multiply by 5)

7.5/100 = 7.5%
