Foundation June 2025 Paper 1 Q14
14 A road has a length of 1.6 kilometres.
The road is shown on a map with a scale of 1 : 20 000
Work out the length, in centimetres, of this road on the map. (3)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | M1 | for unit conversion for \(1.6 \times 100\,000\ (= 160\,000\text{ (cm)})\) or \(1.6 \times 1000\ (= 1600\text{ (m)})\) or for \(20\,000 \div 100\,000\ (= 0.2)\) or \(20\,000 \div 100\ (= 200)\) or \(20\,000 \div 1000\ (= 20)\) or \(\text{``}0.00008\text{''} \times 1000\ (= 0.08)\) or \(\text{``}0.00008\text{''} \times 100\,000\ (= 8)\) |
| M1 | for use of scale [distance] \(\div\, 20\,000\) or \(1.6 \div \text{``}0.2\text{''}\) or \(16 \div (\text{``}0.2\text{''} \times 10)\) or \(1.6 \div \text{``}20\text{''}\ (= 0.08)\) or \(\text{``}1600\text{''} \div \text{``}200\text{''}\ (= 8)\) or \(1.6 \div 20\,000\ (= 0.00008)\) | |

Additional guidance
ie conversions to cm or m
Do not award if conversion linked to incorrect unit eg \(1.6 \times 1000 = 1600\) cm
Answer of 160 000 centimetres scores M1M0A0
Where [distance] is an attempt at converting km to m or cm, ie figs 16
