1 Jack and Jill went to fetch a pail of water each from a well. The ratio of the amount of
water that Jack fetched to Jill’s amount is 5 : 2. After pouring 0.3 litres of water from
Jack’s pail to Jill’s pail, the ratio of the amount of water is now 11 : 5. Find

(i) the total amount of water that the both of them had fetched, [3]

(ii) the percentage change in the amount of water in Jack’s pail after pouring the
water into Jill’s pail. [2]

2 (a) The numbers 3 888 000 000, 138 240 000 and 7 290 000 000 written as a
product of their prime factors, are

3 888 000 000 = 210 × 35 × 56,

138 240 000 = 213 × 33 × 54,

7 290 000 000 = 27 × 36 × 57.

Find

(i) the greatest whole number that divides 3 888 000 000, 138 240 000
and 7 290 000 000, leaving your answers in index form, [1]

(ii) the lowest common multiple of 3 888 000 000, 138 240 000 and
7 290 000 000, leaving your answers in index form, [1]

(iii) the smallest positive integer n such that the product of n and the lowest
common multiple of 3 888 000 000, 138 240 000 and
7 290 000 000 is a perfect cube. [1]

(b) Ruhua has between 200 to 400 sweets. If he divides his sweets into groups of
11, he will have 10 sweets left. If he divides his sweets into groups of 13, he
will have 12 sweets left. Find the number of sweets left if he divides his sweets
into groups of 17. [3]
