Worked Solution & Example Answer:5.1.1 Identify which view of the bakkie is represented by the dimensions 1 815 mm × 1 860 mm - NSC Mathematical Literacy - Question 5 - 2022 - Paper 2
Step 1
Step 2
Calculate the value of D (the space between the sides of the bakkie and the side walls of the garage) if the bakkie is parked exactly in the middle of the garage.
Answer
The width of the garage is 3.6 m (or 3 600 mm). The width of the bakkie is 1 860 mm. The space on either side, D, can be calculated as follows:
- First, convert the width of the garage and bakkie to mm:
- Total space in garage: 3 600 mm
- Width of bakkie: 1 860 mm
- Calculate the total remaining width in the garage:
- Remaining space = 3 600 mm - 1 860 mm = 1 740 mm
- Since the bakkie is parked in the middle, the value of D is half the remaining space:
- D = 1 740 mm / 2 = 870 mm.
Step 3
Letitia needs to choose a colour and window tint. State how many different choices there are for this bakkie.
Answer
Letitia has four options for the bakkie colours: white, black, blue, and green. For the window tint, there are two options: 35% or 50%. To find the total number of different choices, multiply the number of colour options by the number of tint options:
Total choices = Number of colours × Number of tints = 4 × 2 = 8 choices.
