St Nicholas 2025 P6 Maths Prelim — Paper 1 Booklet A Q6 Solution
Question
Arrange these distances from the shortest to the longest: 4.05 km, 4 km 25 m, $4\frac{2}{5}$ km.
- 1. 4.05 km, $4\frac{2}{5}$ km, 4 km 25 m
- 2. 4 km 25 m, 4.05 km, $4\frac{2}{5}$ km
- 3. 4 km 25 m, $4\frac{2}{5}$ km, 4.05 km
- 4. $4\frac{2}{5}$ km, 4 km 25 m, 4.05 km
Answer: 2
Worked solution
- $4\text{ km }25\text{ m} = 4.025\text{ km}$ and $4\frac{2}{5}\text{ km} = 4.4\text{ km}$. Ordering: $4.025 < 4.05 < 4.4$, so $4\text{ km }25\text{ m},\ 4.05\text{ km},\ 4\frac{2}{5}\text{ km}$.
