Question 7

Each member of a tennis club is classed as a junior, an adult or a senior.

• 16% of the members are seniors.

• The ratio of the number of juniors to the number of adults is 9: 5.

• There are 95 more juniors than seniors.

Work out the total number of members of the tennis club. You must show your working.

Question 12

You may use these kinematics formulae to answer this question.

v = u + at

Question 12, shown as an image

where a is the constant acceleration, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, s is the displacement and t is the time taken.

A particle has an initial velocity of 2 m/s. After 6 seconds the particle has a velocity of 11 m/s. The particle had constant acceleration.

Work out the distance the particle has travelled in the 6 seconds.

Question 23

A pot of tea is made using boiling water and left to cool. The temperature, T °C, of the pot of tea after n minutes is given by the formula

T = abn.

The graph shows some information about the temperature of the pot of tea.

Figure for question 23

Find the value of a and the value of b.

Question 25

A bag contains only round tiles and square tiles. Each tile is either black or white.

The ratio of round tiles to square tiles is 3: 1. 45% of all the tiles are round black tiles. 9% of all the tiles are square white tiles.

Show that the proportion of round tiles that are black is less than the proportion of square tiles

that are black.
