6) Write the number 476 to the NEAREST hundred. [1]

When rounding a number to the nearest hundred, the most important figure
that we must look at is the TENS. Once that figure is 5 or more, then we round it up
to the next hundred. If it is 4 or less, then we round it down to the lower hundred.

H T O

For the question, the tens figure in 476 is 7, which is more than 5. Therefore, we
round it up to the next hundred.

7 4 9 2

Using EACH digit only ONCE, write the

a) LARGEST four-digit number [1]

To find the largest four-digit number, the digits need to be arranged in

descending order of size, which is 9, 7,4 and 2.

The largest four-digit number is 9742.

Answer: 9742

b) SMALLEST four-digit odd number [1]

For the number to be odd, it can end in either 7 or 9. Therefore the 4th digit is
9 since we are trying to make the smallest odd number. We can then arrange
the remaining numbers in ascending order of size which is 2, 4 and 7.

Therefore, the smallest four-digit odd number is 2479.

a) Draw the new position of the pointer when the pumpkin is placed on the scale. [1]

New position of pointer 2 Initial Reading + Mass of pumpkin

2 0.5 + 4.5

2 5 kg
b) What is the mass of the pumpkin to the NEAREST kilogram? [2]

When rounding to the nearest kilogram, the most important figure that we must
look at is number directly after the decimal point. Once that figure is 5 or more, then
we round it up to the next kilogram. If it is 4 or less, then we round it down to the
previous kilogram.

4 . 5

For the question, the number directly after the decimal point in 4.5 kg is 5 so, we
round up to the next kilogram.

Answer: 5 kg
