| Alternative method 1 | ||
| \(8 \div 4\) or 2 | M1 | oe may be seen by the table |
| their \(2 \times 60\) or 120 | M1dep | oe may be seen by the table |
| 120 and Yes | A1 | oe eg Yes and 80 minutes more |
| Alternative method 2 | ||
| \(8 \times 60\) or 480 | M1 | oe may be seen by the table |
| \(\dfrac{1}{4} \times\) their 480 or 120 | M1dep | oe may be seen by the table |
| 120 and Yes | A1 | oe eg Yes and 80 minutes more |
| Alternative method 3 | ||
| \(8 \times 60\) or 480 | M1 | oe may be seen by the table |
| \(\dfrac{200}{8 \times 60}\) or \(\dfrac{200}{480}\) | M1dep | oe fraction, decimal or percentage eg \(0.41\dot{6}\) |
| \(\dfrac{5}{12}\) and \(\dfrac{3}{12}\) and Yes | A1 | oe fractions with common denominator or decimals or percentages eg \(0.41\dot{6}\) and 0.25 |
| Alternative method 4 | ||
| \(8 \times 60\) or 480 | M1 | oe may be seen by the table |
| \(200 \times 4\) or 800 | M1 | oe may be seen by the table |
| 480 and 800 and Yes | A1 | oe |
| Alternative method 5 | ||
| \(8 \div 4\) or 2 | M1 | oe may be seen by the table |
| \(200 \div 60\) or \(3\dfrac{1}{3}\) or 3.(…) | M1 | oe eg 3 hours 20 minutes may be seen by the table |
| 2 and 3.(…) and Yes or 2 and \(3\dfrac{1}{3}\) and Yes | A1 | oe eg Yes and 2 hrs and 3 hrs 20 mins eg Yes and 80 minutes more |
Additional guidance
Lists:
1h \(=\) 60, 2h \(=\) 120, 3h \(=\) 180, 4h \(=\) 240 … up to 8h \(=\) 480 would gain M1 from alts 2, 3, or 4 for converting 8h to 480 minutes
2h \(=\) 120 needs to be chosen from the list or at the end of the list to gain M2 from alt 1
Accept any unambiguous indication for ticking a box
Ignore any reference to Margot
Accept \(0.41\dot{6}\) and \(41.\dot{6}\) rounded or truncated to at least 2 sf
Alts 4 and 5 the second method mark is independent
