1 hapter 1 Prime Numbers, Factors and Multiples Preface Secondary 1 (N) Mathematics Tutorial 1 and 1 are designed to prepare Secondary 1 students in their understanding and application of mathematical concepts, skills and processes. What s covered in this book? Written in accordance with the latest syllabus, each chapter includes Objectives, Key oncepts and Formulae and Worked Examples to supplement and complement the lessons taught in school. Practice questions are structured as core, consolidation and challenging to ensure steady improvement and quick mastery of concepts. ooks 1 and 1 cover all the topics for the entire school year. dditional Feature that provides important notes, tips, examples and common student errors. Important concepts are highlighted to enhance understanding and retention. This encourages students to self-study, regardless of the level of competency they are at. nswer Key Fully worked solutions are provided for students to understand better how each problem is solved. These also serve as a tool for self study and assessment. Enhanced resources available Learning There are 4 assessment papers: Mid Year Examination Paper 1 and 2 (found in ook 1) and End of Year Examination Paper 1 and 2 (found in ook 1). These assessment papers are available online, FREE. This book will help students gain mastery and confidence in learning Mathematics systematically. The questions are also closely aligned to examinations in Singapore and hence students will be better equipped to face and excel in the examinations. The Editorial Team

3 hapter 7 Objectives Find ratios involving two or more quantities alculate average speed onvert speed from one unit to another Solve problems involving ratio, rate and speed Ratio, Rate and Speed Key oncepts and Formulae 1 The ratio of a is to b is written as a : b, where a and b represent similar quantities. ratio has no units. 2 Rate is a comparison of two different quantities, e.g. 35 litres/km. 3 Speed, Time and istance are related to each other by the following triangle: S T istance = Speed Time S T Time = istance Speed S T Speed = istance Time Total istance travelled 4 verage Speed = Total Time taken Note: Rest time is also taken into consideration when Total Time taken is calculated! 5 onversion of speed to other units: (1000 x) m x km/h = 3600 s x km/h = x 3.6 m/s y m/s = y 1000 km 1 = 3600 y 3600 h 1000 km/h y m/s = 3.6y km/h km/h m/s hapter 7 Ratio, Rate and Speed

4 Worked Example 1 (a) Simplify : 2 : (b) The ratio of aron s height to etty s height is 7 : 6. The ratio of etty s height to harlie s height is 4 : 5. Find the ratio of aron s height to that of harlie s height. Solution: LM of 4 and 6 is 12. Hence, we convert etty s quantity in both ratios to 12. We can compare aron s quantity to harlie s quantity directly only if etty s quantity is the same. (a) : 2 : 5 4 = 3 2 : 2 : = 6 : 8 : 21 (b) aron : etty = 7 : 6 = 14 : 12 etty : harlie = 4 : 5 = 12 : 15 Required ratio of aron : harlie = 14 : 15 (LM of 2 and 4 is 4) (Multiply each term by 4) (b) lternative method Students 25 units Teachers 2 units Male teachers = 2 5 of teachers = units = 4 5 units Students : Male teachers 25 : 4 5 = 125 : 4 Worked Example 2 In a school of 1500 students, the ratio of students to teachers is 25 : 2. The ratio of male teachers to female teachers is 2 : 3. Find (a) the number of teachers in the school, (b) the ratio of students to male teachers. Solution: (a) Number of teachers = = 120 (b) Number of male teachers = = 48 Ratio of students to male teachers = 1500 : 48 = 125 : 4 hapter 7 Ratio, Rate and Speed

5 Worked Example 3 (a) James car travelled 1160 km on 80 l of petrol. Find the rate of petrol consumption in km/l. (b) typist typed 180 words in the first 3 minutes, 70 words in the next 2 min and 388 words in another 6 minutes. Find the average rate of typing. Solution: 1160 km (a) Rate of petrol consumption = 80l = 14.5 km/l (b) verage rate of typing = = = 58 words/min If the rate is not constant, then average rate is used to find the rate. Worked Example 4 (a) onvert 100 km/h to m/s. (b) car travels 320 km from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur at an average speed of 100 km/h. The car travels the first 220 km in 2 hours. Find the average speed for the second part of the journey. Solution: 100 km (a) 100 km/h = 1h m = 3600 s = 27.8 m/s (correct to 3 s.f.) (b) Time taken for entire journey = h = 3.2 h Time taken for second part = 3.2 h 2 h = 1.2 h istance travelled in second part = 320 km 220 km = 100 km verage Speed = Total istance travelled Total Time taken = 100 km 1.2 h = km/h hapter 7 Ratio, Rate and Speed 1 h = 60 min = s = 3600 s S T s the car might not travel at constant speed for the second part, hence the term average speed is used.

6 Ratio 1 Simplify the following ratios. ore Practice Remember to: Express a ratio in its simplest term. onvert quantities to the same unit. You may use the fraction sign calculator to help you simplify the ratio. in the (a) 100 : 250 (b) 0.18 : 0.32 (c) 70 g : 1 kg (d) 150 min : 2 h (e) : 3 : 6 2 (f) 45 mm : 6 cm : 1.35 m (g) 3500 ml : 1.2 l (h) $0.50 : 200 : $3 hapter 7 Ratio, Rate and Speed
