In London, 1 pint of milk costs 58p.
In Paris, 1 litre of milk costs 1.05 euros.
1 litre = 1.76 pints
£1 = 1.17 euros
In which city is the milk better value for money, London or Paris?
You must show your working.

Simon can see two lights, light A and light B.
Light A flashes every 15 seconds.
Light B flashes every 18 seconds.
At 10 pm, both lights flash at the same time.
How many more times will both lights flash at the same time in the next 4 minutes?
The diagram shows a concrete block on horizontal ground.
The block is a cuboid, 12cm by 12cm by 65 cm.
The block exerts a force of 220newtons on the ground.
Calculate the pressure that the block exerts on the ground.
Give your answer in newtons/cm²
The diagram shows triangle ABC.
The perimeter of the triangle is 64 cm.
AB : BC : CA = 6 : 5 : 5
Work out the area of the triangle.
(a) Complete the table of values for y = x³ – 3x + 1
(b) On the grid below, draw the graph of y = x³ – 3x + 1 for values of x from –2 to 2
Find the value of
Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.
The cumulative frequency graph gives information about the number of minutes each of 60 people was in a shop.
(a) Find an estimate for the number of people who were in the shop for more than 40 minutes.
Stan has to use the graph to find an estimate for the lower quartile of the times.
Stan writes,
60 people were in the shop.
25% of 60 = 15
So the lower quartile of the times is 15 minutes.
(b) What mistake has Stan made?
Here are two rectangles.
The length of rectangle B is 25% greater than the length of rectangle A.
The width of rectangle B is 3/5 &times the width of rectangle A.
Find the fraction area of rectangle B/ area of rectangle A
Give your answer in its simplest form.
In a class there are 11 boys and 19 girls.
The mean weight of all 30 children is 32.85 kg.
The mean weight of the 11 boys is 31.9 kg.
Work out the mean weight of the 19 girls.
When Lee goes to work, he either travels by car or by bus.
The probability that on any day Lee goes to work he travels by car is 0.2
When Lee travels to work by car, the probability that he is late is 0.35
When Lee travels to work by bus, the probability that he is late is 0.15
(a) Complete the probability tree diagram for this information.
(b) Work out the probability that on any day Lee goes to work he is late.

Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
Shape A and shape B are two similar solid shapes.
The ratio of the volume of shape A to the volume of shape B is 1 : 10
Aisha says that the height of shape B is 10 times the height of shape A.
(a) Is Aisha correct?
Give a reason for your answer.
The surface area of shape B is 72cm²
(b) Work out the surface area of shape A.
Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
Kelly grows potatoes.
She has 2500 kg of potatoes, correct to the nearest 10 kg.
Kelly is going to put the potatoes into sacks.
Each sack will contain 12.5kg of potatoes.
Kelly assumes that 12.5 kg is measured correct to the nearest 0.1 kg.
(a) Does Kelly definitely have enough potatoes to fill 200 sacks?
You must show how you get your answer.
Kelly’s assumption is wrong.
12.5kg is measured correct to the nearest 0.5kg.
(b) Explain how this could affect your decision in part (a).
Write as a single fraction in its simplest form.
