19. Jane has just taken two mathematics tests.
Her results were:
- 35 out of 40 in test 1,
- 31 out of 35 in test 2.
In which of these tests did Jane have the better result?
You must show all your working. [4]
Jane had a better result in test ………………
| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 35÷40 (x 100) | M1 | Or equivalent full method in each case |
| 31÷35 (x 100) | M1 | |
| 87.5 (%) AND 88.5(7….) (%) Or 0.875 AND 0.885(7…) | A1 | Accept rounded or truncated from correct working. |
| (Jane had better result in) test 2 | E1 | FT ‘their two values’ provided at least M1 awarded |
| (4) |
Alternative
Alternative method 1 – Equivalent fractions
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| Common denominator 280 | M1 |
| 248/280 OR 245/280 | M1 |
| 248/280 AND 245/280 | A1 |
| (Jane had better result in) test 2 | E1 |
Alternative Method 2
| Scheme | Marks |
|---|---|
| 35÷40 = 0.875 | M1 |
| Test 1 0.875 x 35 | M1 |
| = 30.625/35 | A1 |
| (Jane had better result in) test 2 | E1 |
