| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| \(\dfrac{7}{12}\) | M1 | for finding two fractions with a correct common denominator, with at least one correct corresponding numerator, eg. \(\dfrac{5}{12}, \dfrac{2}{12}\) |
| A1 | for \(\dfrac{7}{12}\) oe eg \(\dfrac{14}{24}, \dfrac{21}{36}, \dfrac{28}{48}, \dfrac{35}{60}, \dfrac{42}{72}\), … |
Additional guidance
Ignore errors in cancelling following sight of an equivalent fraction to \(\dfrac{7}{12}\)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| \(\dfrac{3}{16}\) | M1 | for method to multiply fractions, eg \(\dfrac{3 \times 5}{10 \times 8}\ \left(= \dfrac{15}{80}\right)\) or simplifies the calculation eg \(\dfrac{3}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{8}\) or for an answer equivalent to \(\dfrac{3}{16}\) unsimplified |
