On the whole I think its quite a nasty question.unknown wrote: Dr Shah's car is 5m long thats the average of all 4 cars in the parking bay.The council wants to build a new bay leaving 2cm each side in each car space.
How long is the new bay going to be
right 4 cars
now they could mean 5x4 + 3x0.02, ie 4 cars with 2 cm between them..
but it does say 'in each car space' which to me means one of those white rectangles .. so each space would be 5m + 0.04m (2cm each side
so the total would be 5.04 x 4 or 20.16m
hmmm.....
I remember this question: it DOES depend on whether it is multiple choice. The latter provides a rough (approximate) answer which you have to choose. Because I did not provide my kid with the multiple choice answer booklet on the day that he did this question, he gave me the exact answer along the lines developed above.

It depends on whether the question is multiple-choice or not. There are quite a few estimate, approximate, roughly type questions that come up, but the actual correct answer does not occur in the answer options.
