Could you post a link to the paper or type in the questions. Not everyone knows all papers by heart.

Q21)
8 people take 3 hours
10 people can paint a fence twice as long in under 5 hours
Q22)
3/4, 7/8, 15/16, 1023/1024, ..., 1
Q23)
11*17 = 187 runs
(187-2*39.5)/9 = 12 runs per remaining batsmen
Q24)
40 strips
40*30m = 1200m
40*75s = 3000s = 50 minutes (includes time for 39 turns and 1 start)
Q25)
(3,2)
(5,3)
(9,9)
(21,22)
Q26)
Regular pentagon, a = 360/5 = 72, b = (180-72)/2 = 54
Regular hexagon, a = 360/6 = 60, b = (180-60)/2 = 60
Q30)
Position and possible runners
1st is 5 or 7 or 11 or 13
2nd is 6 or 8 or 12
3rd is 8
4th is 5 or 10
5th is 11
6th is 12 or 14
7th is 11 or 14
8th is 6, 8, 10, 14
9th is 8 or 9
10th is 11 or 12 or 13 or 14
Position and actual runners
1st is 7
2th is 6
3th is 8
4th is 5
5th is 11
6th is 12
7th is 14
8th is 10

Re: Haberdasher aske's boys 11plus Sample Maths Questions 2
thank you so much for the quick response nyr
on nos 30. my daughter had as
Positions in Race Number of Runners
1st - 7
2nd - 6
3rd - 8
4th - 5
5th - 11
6th -12
7th - 14
8th - 10
9th - 9
10th - 13
i thought we can't have an answer twice like you had 5 twice. Please correct me if am wrong though.
Thank you

Re: Haberdasher aske's boys 11plus Sample Maths Questions 2
You're right, I missed out 7 from my list of primes and then failed to spot that runner 5 finished in 2 positions in my answer. So, you're right, runner 7 finished in 1st position.
Re: Haberdasher aske's boys 11plus Sample Maths Questions 2
nyr,
Thank you for posting the answers. I am an interested (in my child's education) parent. My nephew, who is also revising for his 11+ had a different answer to the last part of question 25, it being (21,22) which I though was correct until I saw your answer. Perhaps you could elaborate on how you arrived at your answer. Many thanks and a Happy New Year!

Tagore, you're right. It should be (21,22).
Re: Haberdasher aske's boys 11plus Sample Maths Questions 2
Hi nyr
1. Please explain Nos 26 ( the question with five sided and 6 sided polygon)
where you have divided by 2.
i know we have been given a clue that all sides are equal .
what clue tells us the angles are equal as well( since you have divided by 2)
2. also please kindly help answer the last part of the same Question that asks for the Name of the triangle ABC?
Many Thanks

Re: Haberdasher aske's boys 11plus Sample Maths Questions 2
Mittleme, I assume you accept that angle a can be calculated as in my earlier answer, so we can move on to angle b and let us consider either of these polygons.
Since each corner of the pentagon (or hexagon) is equidistant to its centre, we know that AB and AC are the same length. So, the angle b and the third angle, say c, are the same - from the properties of an isosceles triangle.
The question tells us that the angles in a triangle add up to 180, so b+c=2b=180-a. Therefore b = (180-a)/2.
In the case of the regular pentagon, triangle ABC is called an isosceles triangle, where two angles and hence the length of two edges are the same.
In the case of the regular hexagon, triangle ABC is called an equilateral triangle, where all angles and hence the length of all edges are the same.
Does that help?

Re: Haberdasher aske's boys 11plus Sample Maths Questions 2
Thank you Once again nyr.
ok i understand all your explanation up till the last paragraph
In the case of the regular hexagon, triangle ABC is called an equilateral triangle, where all angles and hence the length of all edges are the same.
i dont mean to be thick here but i like to understand what am being taught . i have completely forgotten some of my maths and i have googled but can't find anything
My question is
so what tells me in the diagram that ABC is equilateral(of course this means where all angles and hence the length of all edges are the same.)
. is this one of the property of a regular hexagon? or does the thickened dark lines mean equal lengths?
same for the pentagon?
Thanks in anticipation
