ITEM ONE
A woman who sells tomatoes went to Nakawa market and bought 9 heaps of tomatoes each
containing 5 tomatoes at UGX 2,000 per heap. She also bought 10 heaps each containing 7
tomatoes at UGX 1,500 per heap from Owino Market.
On reaching her workplace she decided to repackage tomatoes into heaps of 5 tomatoes,
selling each heap at UGX 2,000.
Task
a) Determine how many heaps the woman obtained.
b) Determine the profit that the woman got by selling all the heaps she obtained.
ITEM TWO
Madam Namagembe bought three large cooking pots with capacities of 36 litres, 48 litres,
and 60 litres respectively for her newly opened community kitchen. A land planner drew the
site layout showing an area of 6.25cm² on a map drawn to a scale of 1:200,000. She later
hired a new coordinator, who was told to convert the code 213five to base ten in order to access
the storage records. Upon inspection, the new coordinator also realised that only 3 out of
every 5 of the 300 utensils had been labelled.
TASKS:
KJML/KISJO
a) What is the largest possible volume, in litres, of a single jug that can be used to
completely empty each pot without any remainder?
b) Calculate the actual area of the land in square kilometres.
c) Help the coordinator convert the code “213five” to base ten.
d) How many utensils still need to be labelled?
ITEM THREE
Sam owns a plot of land in the shape of a quadrilateral. The corners of his plot are located at
the following points A(-4,-4), B(6,-4), C(6,2) and D(-4,2)
He uses his land for growing coffee, which serves as his source of income.
TASK
a) Plot the points, A,B,C and D on a cartesian plane to represent sams plot of land
b) Join the consecutive points A to B, B to C, C to D and D to A to form a quadrilateral
hence name the quadrilateral formed based on its shape.
c) Draw the diagonals AC and BD. Find the point where the diagonals intersect.
ITEM FOUR
Mr. Kasoma owns a hotel manager in Mbale and it is seated on a rectangular plot 100m by
60m. The plot is fully fenced by concrete walls for security purposes. The hotel building
occupies a sixth of the plot and she intends to put up a circular swimming pool for the
children in one of the rectangular corners of the plot so that the circular pool’s circumference
touches the walls of triangular section. The two sides is a right angle.
The remaining portion of the triangular section surrounding the pool is to be covered by
pavers. Each paver covers an area of 160 square centimetres and costs shs. 2850.
Task;
As a mathematics scholar, you are tasked to:
a) Find the amount of area covered by the hotel building.
b) Generate a visual scale plan for the swimming pool.
c) Help Mr. Kasoma to determine the amount of money required for the pavers.
d) Determine the percentage of the plot area covered by the green if the green area
covers 500 square meters.
