Instructions
Calculators may be used on any question.
Answer as many questions as you can. This may be done in any order.
Answers given as fractions should be reduced to lowest terms and written as mixed numbers
where appropriate.
Unless specified, where not exact, answers should be given to 3 significant figures.
You are encouraged to cross out mistakes neatly, not erase them.
All working and answers are to be written in this booklet, but lined paper is available on which to
continue or redo questions.
