You are meant to round up since you can’t have a decimal of a hedgehog so if it’s a decimal when talking about people or animals it goes up to the next number automatically

surely you would round down because if it’s decimal 0.6 where is the other 0.4 of the hedgehog coming from

i said clary for the spinner question because she found relative frequency (thus accounting for both amount of times spun and gotten red) whereas the others' statements only accounted for one thing. but maybe i misinterpreted the question

Yh what that guy said so it is 81373 not 81372. Also the actual answer is 81372.6976, you would round up regardless so you are definitely wrong but you will only lose one mark anyways.

hi guys for the ratio question i got k=1.5 but it should have been 6. i did all the correct working, just with the wrong values, so i ended up getting 3:20 but it should have been 3:5. it was 4 marks, how many do u think i would get? because its error carries forward for the whole thing basically

also guys what do u think the grade boundary for a 9 will be this year for aqa gcse higher maths? it was 214/240 last year but the papers last year for maths were wayyy easier and they had information. personally i think maybe 206/240 or 208/240 something like that maybe?

no problem! dont worry, u will get 2 put of 3! and im sure about that. with transformation questions like this theyre always 3 marks.
1 mark for saying enlargement
1 mark for saying the scale factor
1 mark for centre of enlargement
im very sure u will get 2 out of 3!

i did 9x8x12 to get 864 but then the side elevation had a 2x3 cuboid missing and you dont know how long the cuboid is so it could have been a gap for only one square, so i did 864 - (2x3x1) for max - 858 or something and then for min the cuboid could have had 12 cubes ion it so 864 - (2x3x12)
