Foundation June 2025 Paper 1 Q10
10
(a) Write 23 619 to the nearest 1000 (1)
(b) Work out an estimate for the value of \(5.9 \times 98.1\) (2)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 24 000 | B1 |
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 600 | M1 | for 6 or 100 or 98 used in a calculation |
| A1 | for 600 (from \(6 \times 100\)) or 588 (from \(6 \times 98\)) or 590 (from \(5.9 \times 100\)) or 588.6 (from \(6 \times 98.1\)) |
Additional guidance
578.2 from \(5.9 \times 98\) scores M1A0
M0A0 for working with unrounded figures with answer rounded to 600
ISW rounding of an estimated answer e.g. rounding 588 to 600
Subtraction of additional products after a rounded calculation may score the M mark for 6 or 100 or 98, but will not score the A mark unless one of the acceptable answers is reached.
