1 Grow your brain N4 Numeracy Book 5 The wee Maths Book of Big Brain Growth Guaranteed to make your brain grow, just add some effort and hard work Don t be afraid if you don t know how to do it, yet! It s not how fast you finish, but that you finish. It s always better to try something than to try nothing. Don t be worried about getting it wrong, getting it wrong is just part of the process known better as learning. Numeracy 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5

22 M Interpreting the results of calculations to make decisions M1 I have investigated problems involving container packaging. 1. Ben works for an electrical manufacturer packing items in boxes. He is packing a product, in their box, into larger boxes for delivery. 5 cm 40 cm 80 cm 180 cm 100 cm 30 cm What is the maximum number of product boxes that can be fitted into the large box? Justify your answer Page 22

Page 27

28 M4 I can make a decision based on a measurement and a calculation involving a formula 8. The temperature in a room is controlled by a thermostat. John says he likes the room to be about 70 F.

29 M5 I can make a justify a decision with a calculation 10. Jordan has a lemonade stall at the school fete. He makes up 12 jugs of lemonade. Each jug can fill 6 cups. The cost of making 12 jugs is Jordan wants to charge 40p per cup. If he sells all 12 jugs will he make a profit? 11. The MacDonald family, Mr and Mrs MacDonald and their 3 children, are planning a trip to Spain. Mrs MacDonald reads the following information in a holiday brochure.

30 N Explaining decisions based on the results of measurements or calculations 1. An airline charges 8 per kilograms on any baggage over 15 kilograms. Margo arrives at the Airport with one large bag weighing 23 kilograms. How much will she be asked to pay for her excess baggage? 2. The total cost of a school the trip for 42 children is The Parent Teacher Association has agreed to pay 1410 of this and each child is asked to pay 180. Is this enough to cover the cost of the trip? Give a reason for your answer. 3. A college group of 165 students are planning to travel to an event using hired buses. A bus company offers two sizes of bus: Size A 48 seats Price 200 Size B 25 seats Price 130 The group wants to pay the lowest total hire charge available. (a) How many buses of each size should they hire? (b) How much will this cost? 4. The total cost of a school ski trip for 30 children is Page 30 The Parent Teacher Association has agreed to pay 1200 of this and each child is asked to pay 500. Is this enough to cover the cost of the trip? Give a reason for your answer.
