| Yes and suitable reason given Eg Yes because 5.02 and 5.07 are 5 when rounded to the nearest whole number. Yes because 5.02 and 5.07 are only just over 5 Yes because all runs are about 5km or just over ‘Yes, they are all about 5km’. | E1 | Allow ‘Yes, because they are all under 0.5 and all start with 5’ Do not accept the information in the question just repeated, with no inference made. Do not accept: ‘No because she ran 3 different routes’ ‘No because there are no distances higher than the number’ ‘Yes because it’s 5.07, then 5, then 5.02’ ‘Yes because they are all somewhere in 5km’ |

| No and suitable reason given Eg ‘No because it took her longer to run 5(km) than it did to run 5.02 (km)’ ‘No, the 5.02km run took the least time’ ‘No, the shortest run took longer than the 5.02km run’ ‘No, the shortest run was on Wednesday but the least time was on Friday’ | E1 | Allow ‘No, on Friday she ran for longer and took less time’ ‘No, 33:46 is the middle time’ ‘No, 5.02 km is the middle distance’ |
