| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 5×2×50 500 (miles) | M1 A1 | FT ‘their 50’ If no marks awarded, award SC1 for 250 (miles), or an accurate answer to 5×’their 50’ or 7×2×’their 50’ |
| Scheme | Marks | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Abergavenny to Gloucester 45(miles) Gloucester to Bristol 36 (miles) | ||
| (alternative route distance=) 45 + 36 | M1 | Addition of two distances from the table, with at least one of 45 and 36 included. |
| 81 (miles) | A1 | CAO. Unsupported 81 gets M1 A1. Sight of (extra distance per day = 81 – 50=) 31 or a value for 81 – ‘their 50’ implies M1A1 |
| (extra distance=) (81 − 50) × 2 or equivalent. | M1 | FT ‘their 50’ if first M1 awarded and ‘their 81’ providing first M1 awarded and ‘their 81’ > ‘their 50’ |
| =62 (miles) | A1 | FT if first M1 awarded. If last M1 not awarded, award SC1 for 31 (miles) ISW |
