| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 39 | M1 | for finding one quarter of 52, eg \(52 \div 4\ (= 13)\) OR for finding the fraction to be filled, eg \(1 - \dfrac{1}{4}\ \left(= \dfrac{3}{4}\right)\) oe |
| M1 | for a complete method eg \(52 - \text{``}13\text{''}\) or \(\text{``}13\text{''} \times 3\) OR for \(\text{``}\dfrac{3}{4}\text{''} \times 52\) | |
| A1 | cao |
