| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| 3.5 km = 3500 m or 950 m = 0.95 km or 1.8 km = 1800 m or 1200 m = 1.2 km or 8 km = 8000 m | B1 |
| 3.5 + “0.95” + 1.8 + “1.2” (= 7.45) or “3500” + 950 + “1800” + 1200 (= 7450) | M1 |
| 8 – “7.45” (= 0.55) or 8000 – “7450” | M1ft |
| Correct answer scores full marks (unless from obvious incorrect working) Answer: 550 | A1 |

Notes
B1: for one correct conversion
M1: can gain this mark for adding their converted figures even if incorrect but some attempt must have been made to convert 2 relevant values. (eg incorrect but 350 + 950 + 180 + 1200)
M1ft: Correct compatible units
ft their total dep on Marion’s distance being less than Talha’s
