Foundation June 2024 Paper 2 Q6
6 There are 150 animals on a farm.
Of these animals
19 are sheep
32 are goats
3 are dogs
The rest of the animals are chickens.
Write the number of chickens as a fraction of the total number of animals.
Give your fraction in its simplest form.
(3)
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| 19 + 32 + 3 (= 54) or 150 – 19 – 32 – 3 (= 96) | M1 |
\(\dfrac{150 - \text{‘}54\text{’}}{150}\left(= \dfrac{\text{‘}96\text{’}}{150}\right)\) assumes previous M1 | M1 |
Correct answer scores full marks (unless from obvious incorrect working) Answer: \(\dfrac{16}{25}\) | A1 |
| (3) | |
| (3 marks) |
Notes
M1: or \(\dfrac{54}{150}\)
M1: or any correct fraction not in simplest form or for \(\dfrac{9}{25}\)
A1: (SCB2 for 0.64 or 64% if no other marks scored, B1 for 0.36 or 36% if no other marks scored)
