|---|---|---|
| 12 | 2 | M1 for correct first step, eg \(37 - 13\) (= 24) or \((37 + 13) \div 2\) (= 25) oe or two weights with a difference of 13 or two weights with a total of 37 A1 cao |
| Answer | Mark | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 44 pounds or 20 kg | 4 | M1 for \(30 \times 2.2\) (= 66) M1 (dep) for \(110 - \text{``}66\text{''}\) (= 44) A1 for 44 A1 (dep on first M1) for pounds OR M1 for \(110 \div 2.2\) (= 50) M1 (dep) for \(\text{``}50\text{''} - 30\) (= 20) A1 for 20 A1 (dep on first M1) for kg |
