| large carton with correct calculations | 3 | M1 for \(1.60 \div 125\) (= 0.0128) or \(2.8 \div 225\) (= 0.0124(4…)) or \(125 \div 1.60\) (= 78(.125)(g)) or \(225 \div 2.80\) (= 80(.35…)g) or any other calculation that could lead to a comparative figure M1 for \(1.60 \div 125\) (= 0.0128) and \(2.8 \div 225\) (= 0.0124(4…)) or for \(125 \div 1.60\) (= 78(.125)(g)) and \(225 \div 2.80\) (= 80(.35…)g) or for calculations that could lead to comparative figures for the 2 cartons C1 for correct comparative figures for both cartons leading to a correctly stated comparison. Accept any other method considered equivalent. Figures may be truncated or rounded as long as their method is clear. |
