As A group of S: part of their practice, their teacher gives them real-life challenges to attempt before the oe ler go to the food market to buy 1 cluster of bananas plus 3 bananas. Each cluster contains 5 bananas, The student did not understand the grouping of darlanas he was authorised in, (ii) The cost of each banana to be bought is Ugx 300. The school decided that each Parent pays an amount of money equal to the cost of bananas bought from the food market for their transport. (iii) There is a need of 124 tomaives io supplement on the bananas the student bought. The trader wants to know how many complete buckets, full plates and the remaining tomatoes if each plate held a maximum of 5 tomatoes and each bucket holds a maximum of 5 plates, he can make at the same time. To fund the trip to the competition, they later saw it important to organise a minibus. They raise Ugx 480,000 in total. They plan to use the money as follows: - 45% on transport. > 25% on food. ~ the rest on refreshments, ‘Your teacher of mathematics selects you in order to help the group. Task: (8) AS learner of Mathematics, help the group to: © Write down the number of bananas in the grouping the student was authorised in, (ii) Determine the number of bananas bought. (iti) Calculate the amount of money 50 parents will pay for their children who are going for the trip. @) Help the trader top know the umber of complete buckets fill plates and the i} Bee tomatoes he can make at the same time from 124 tomatoes, ine how much money the group will spend on transport, food and refreshments, Item 2 A snack vendor runs a s, mal] 5 + 1 ket. She makes chapatis and samos I snack business at a trading center in a daily market 's daily using flour and cooking oil.

She Mae Schapatis and atleast 3 samosas per day inorder to meet The vendor is not aware crt haat for Ugx 500 and each samosa for Upx 700 of the number of chapatis and samosas that maximise the cost Task: a) Writ ‘ i (a) Write down all the inequalities that represent the constraints described in the scenario, (b) Represent the inequalities on the same graph by shading the unwanted regions. (c) Determine the number Of chapatis and samosas that maximise the cost, SECTION B g This section has two parts; 1 and IT PARTI Answer only one item in this part. Item 3 In your school, students participate in various sports clubs. A survey of 100 students rovealed that 48 students play football (F), 40 students play netball (N), 36 students play volleyball (V), 18 students play both football and netball, 12 students play both netball and volleyball, 15 students play boxh football and volleyball, and 8 students play all the three sports. ‘Your teacher of mathematics chooses you to help him accomplish these tasks; (i) Represents the information on a venn diagram, (ii) Determine how many students play only football, play only one sport and those who do not play any of the three sports. ‘There is an upcoming awarding ceremony for the best athlete in sports in the coming week. Task(a) As a learner of Mathematics help your teacher accomplish his tasks. (b) Ifan athl athlete; (i) Plays atleast one of the three sports. (ii) plays exactly two sports. (iii) does not play football.

(a) Draw a suitable statistical graph and use it to estimate; (i) the median amount spent. i) how many students qualify for the subsidy? the semi-inter qualities range. (b) Determine how much money most parents spent on school uniforms. (Give your answer to one significant figures) PARTIE Answer only one item in this part Alocal youth group in your district wants to install a solar-powered security light at a triangular plot of land in their community. The length of each of the sides of a plot of land is 60m. Their plan is to construct a Circular fence around the plot of land and ensure that the solar-powered security light is situated at the center of the fence. The iocai youth group it to determine the al is within the fence, The extra land beyond the tr; at worth Ugx 50,009. “°® Miangular plot of land will be sold later and 1m? of land is Tee Sfo¥e bis spproasbied For yous hep. also wants to determine the area covered by the fence and use mount of space, that extends beyond the plot of land, but whicha _-Asaleamer of Mathemat ‘matics, (2) Construct the Circular fe; fe ef Soe Of the plot of land, © ares F plot, within the mens 2 1° fence and the area of space that extends beyond the pra fence, where necessary give your response to one decimal place, ‘© amount of money they will get after selling the extra piece of land. help the local youth group clearly; "nce and locate the position of the security light from each Ttem 6 peste and Amina are co-investors in a plot of land along Kampala - Entebbe Road, \ey Plan to build a commercjal complex. The plot is represented as a line segment AB on a map with OA = (3) and OB = (8). They want to: 4 - ~ build restaurant P that lies internally on AB in the ratio 2:3, and pnd a care park Q that lies externally on AB in the ratio -3:1, extended beyond also purchase kitchen equi, .2ent worth Ugx 15,000,000 which depreciates at 10% per year and land that appreciate; at 8% per year. However, these investors require a simple and claborate ‘vy in Mathematics that help them on what they want, Task: Asa leamer of Mathematics, help them (a) find the position vector of: @ _ arestaurant P (i) acar-park Q (b) Calculate the value of the (i) _ kitchen equipment, (ii) land that is initially worth Ugx 120,000,000 after 3 years.
