Kyazze and his father Kyagulanyi have an age difference of 20 years and the product of
their ages is 800 years. One day during a mathematics lesson Kyazze borrows a calculator
from his neighbor and on the screen he finds a number 840 which made him wonder
which two numbers he could have entered to get the as a product of the figure. Later on
during the festive season Kyazze and his elder brother David were visited by their uncle
and were each given shs.42000 and shs.53500 respectively. Kyazze used all his money to
buy 4 shirts and 3 vests while David used all his money to buy 5 shirts and 4 vests.

(a) How old do you think is Kyazze and his father Kyagulanyi.
(b) Help Kyazze figure out all the possible values that his neighbor could have typed in the
in the calculator to get the number on the screen.

(c) Help the two brothers explain to their father how much he would spend if he wanted to

Mr. Lwanyaga the head of mathematics department organized a mathematics study trip
to Namanve where assembling of Toyota vehicle and manufacturing of Coca-Cola
products are done, and in his report to the members of mathematics department shows
the cost of hiring a school bus is constant for any a bus and other varies as the
distance covered by the bus. He later reviled that if a bus covers 100km then charged
kshs.4500 and kshs.4000 for a distance of 60km. The distance between the school and
Namanve is 480km and they expected to live the school at 8:00am at an average speed
of
100𝑘 𝑚 /ℎ𝑟 according to the school’s study trip rules and procedures and after the trip they
students would rest for forty-five minutes and then proceed back to school.
Tasks:
a) As the treasure of the mathematics department help Mr. Lwanyaga to know
total expenses for the total journey.

b) By representing the journeys on a suitable graph explain the motion of the bus to
the bus to the school administrators.

In Uganda, many are worried about the fire problem in schools which is becoming a
threatening hazard. Research experts have carried out a survey to investigate the likely cause
of the rampant fires in Education institutions. Findings showed that, three categories of stake
holders were found to be responsible for the fire outbreaks in Education institutions. 50
respondents said they are learners, 50 respondents said they are parents and 40
respondents said they are school administrators. 10 respondents attributed it to all
categories. 15 attributed it to learners and parents, 20 attributed it to parents and school
administrators and 15 attributed it to learners and school administrators.
Task:
a) Help the expert researchers to summarize their report and be able to establish
number of respondents who attributed it to;
i. Learners only
ii. Parents only
iii. School Administrators only
b) Find the total number of the respondents in the survey.
c) What is the probability that the fire problem in schools is attributed to
