Introduction
Kenneth Morley has been a Mathematics
Teacher for over 25 years. He has taught the
age range 11 - 19. He graduated with an Upper
Second Bachelor of Science Honours degree in
Mathematical Sciences (subjects included
pure/ applied mathematics, statistics, numerical
analysis and computing). He acquired a Post
Graduate Certificate in Mathematical Education
shortly afterwards. Both qualifications were gained in the United
Kingdom.
A Message from the Tutor
Thank for you buying this e-tutorial. The tutorial comprises of ten
tutorial lessons, and two review tutorial lessons all with
comprehensive solutions
One of my principal aims is to create a quality product. A great deal
of time went into viewing the suitability of questions, relating
examples to questions and sequencing questions in order of
difficulty. I gave a great deal of attention to the solutions, making
them as comprehensive as possible so that they can easily be
followed.
All the lessons have been tested in the classroom and have worked
well. I have found that with standard textbooks, quite often the
exercise questions do not relate to the given examples. Also difficult
questions seem to appear randomly, sometimes near the beginning
of the exercise, rather than at the end. Standard textbooks only give
brief answers and not fully worked solutions.

Lesson 01

Ratio Solutions

Model cars are often made in the ratio of 1:18.

1. Total number of parts = 2 + 3 = 5
This means that a measurement of 1cm on the model is equal to
18cm on the actual car. 3
Length of longest part = x 15 = 9cm
5
Examples

1. A piece of wood is 15cm and is divided in the ratio 2:3. What is 2. Total number of parts = 5 + 4 + 3 = 12
the length of the longest part?
5
Largest part = x 240 = 100
12
2. $240 is divided in the ratio 5:4:3. What is the difference between
the largest and smallest parts?
3
Smallest part x 240 = 60
12
3. A model boat is built in the ratio 1:30. Its width is 15cm. What is
the actual width of the real boat in metres? Difference = 100 - 60 = $40

4. A ribbon is divided into two parts, in the ratio of 3:5. If the 3. Width of real boat = 15 x 30 = 450cm
shortest part is 12cm, what is the length of the longest part?
= 450 ÷ 100 = 4·5m
12
4. 3 parts = 12cm, so 1 part = = 4 cm.
3

The longest part = 5 x 4 = 20 cm

Lesson 02
Map Scales Example

A map scale of 1:1000 means that 1cm on the map represents 1. A map is drawn on the scale of 1:250 000
1000cm on the ground.

If the length of a house on the map is 2cm, what is its actual length in a. The length of a road on the map is 7cm. What is its actual
metres? length in km?

1cm:1000cm b. The length of a river is 12·5km. What is the length of the

river in cm, on the map?
= 1cm: 10 m

2cm on the map represents 2 x 10 = 20m.

1cm:250 000cm
So the actual length of the house is 20m
= 1cm: 2 500m
If the actual length of a bridge is 35m, what would be its length on
the map? = 1cm: 2·5km

1cm:10m a. Road 7 x 2·5 = 17·5km

35 12 ⋅ 5
= 3·5 cm on the map b. River = 5cm
10 2⋅5
