Higher June 2023 Paper 1 Q1
1 Work out \(8.46 \div 0.15\) (3)
| Answer | Mark | Mark scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 56.4 | M1 | for a start to a method, eg \(846 \div 15\) or \(8.46 \div 0.15\) or \(8.46 \div 3 \times 20\) or \(282 \div 5\) that leads to 5 as the first digit or for a complete method with no more than one arithmetic error |
| A1 | for digits 564 identified | |
| A1 | (ft) dep on M1 for correct placement of the decimal point into their final answer |
Additional guidance
A start to a repeated subtraction method or a build-up method is acceptable if a correct first digit of 5 is found
An answer of \(56\dfrac{2}{5}\) gets 3 marks
