Grade 8 – Mathematics Answer Key

Section A: MCQs (Answers)


1. b) 1/3
2. b) 8
3. a) 8x
4. a) 2
5. b) a^m × a^n = a^(m+n)
6. a) 144
7. a) 16
8. b) 4x - 5 > 9
9. b) Square
10. c) √3

Section B: Rational Numbers


11. Properties: Closure under addition; Closure under multiplication.
12. (3/4 ÷ 9/16) = (3/4 × 16/9) = 48/36 = 4/3.
13. Rational number between 2/3 and 3/4: (2/3 + 3/4)/2 = 17/24.
14. -3.75 = -375/100 = -15/4.

Section C: Exponents
15. 2³ × 2■ = 2■ = 256.
16. (3■² / 3■■) = 3³ = 27.
17. (1/2)■³ = 2³ = 8.
18. 243 = 3■.

Section D: Algebraic Expressions & Linear Equations


19. 3x + 4y – (2x – 3y) = x + 7y.
20. 5x – 7 = 3x + 5 → 2x = 12 → x = 6.
21. 2x + y = 10, x = 3 → 6 + y = 10 → y = 4.
22. x² + 7x + 10 = (x + 5)(x + 2).

Section E: Linear Inequalities


23. 2x + 3 < 7 → 2x < 4 → x < 2. Represent on number line with open circle at 2, shaded left.
24. 3x – 5 > 4 → 3x > 9 → x > 3. Smallest integer solution = 4.
Section F: Understanding Shapes
25. Concave polygon: at least one angle > 180°, indentation, e.g., arrow shape. Convex polygon: all
angles < 180°, no indentation, e.g., pentagon.
26. Interior angle = 150°. Formula (n-2)180/n = 150 → n = 12 sides.

Section G: Representing 3D in 2D
27. Net of a cube: 6 equal squares arranged in a cross/row form.
28. Slicing a cone horizontally → circle; vertically through axis → triangle.
