13. C – Statistics

14. A – 2 (mode = most frequent; 2 appears  3 times)

15. C – 4

SECTION B – THEORY ANSWER KEYS 

1. Convert 30°C to Fahrenheit

F = 9/5 x 30 + 32 = 54 + 32 = 86ºF

2. Convert 35°F to Celsius

4. Characteristics of Rhombus

• All sides are equal

• Opposite angles are equal

5. Characteristics of Square

• All sides are equal

• All angles are 90°

6. Characteristics of Kite

• Two pairs of adjacent equal sides

• One pair of opposite angles are equal

7. 1½ right angle – 3/2 x 90º. The value of 1½ right angles is 135º.

8. Two-thirds of a right angle – 2/3 x 90º. The value of 2/3 right angles is 60º.

9. 80% of 3 right angles, 80/100 x 3 x 90º. The value of 80% of 3 right angles is 216º.

10. Cylinder – 2 edges (curved edges)

11. Prism (rectangular prism) – 12 edges

12. Matchbox – 12 edges

13. Distance Covered – Circumference = 40 cm and Revolutions = 200

Distance – 40 x 200 = 8000 cm = 80 m

14. 500 cm = 5 m

15. 480 cm = 4.8 m

16. 10,000 cm = 100 m

17. 1110two = 1 x 2³ + 1 x 2² + 1 x 2¹ + 0 x 2º

= 1 x 8 + 1 x 4 + 1 x 2 + 0 = 8 + 4 + 2 + 0 = 14

18. Pictogram (Guide), Use a key such as: 👥 = 10 pupils

English → 👥👥👥👥 (40)

Mathematics → 👥👥👥👥👥👥👥👥👥 (90)

Science → 👥👥👥👥👥 (50)

Literature → 👥👥👥👥👤 (45 ≈ 4½ symbols if allowed)

19. Simple Interest – SI = PRT/100

= (600 x 4 x 6)/4 = 14400/100 = 144.

That’s, ₦144
