Does anyone know if it's possible to do the varnishing floor question with a different method to this mark scheme because I'm pretty sure I got it right but remember doing it differently

That was a tricky one, everyone at school seems to have different answers:
Mine being (2 - root 6)/12.


I got the same apart from it being (3-root6) instead of 2 on top
What would 38/100 get my mate got that and wants to have an idea of what to expect
Does anyone know how many marks the percentage question was?

Hey, if anybody is willing to contribute the answers, and preferably the questions, then I shall set up a mark scheme for you all. Thanks in advance!

Can people please attach question numbers to their answers? Method would be appreciated.

This will be updated as I go along.

Okay, I now realise that I got so much more wrong than I thought :frown: bye bye Maths A level..

1L = 5m^2

1 can = 2.5l

therefore 1 = 5x2.5 = 12.5m^2

the area is 50m^2

50/12.5 = number of cans needed = 4. therefore she doesn't have enough.

Wht does everyone think the grade boundaries will be? My guess is:
A* - 83
A - 66
B - 47
C - 26


i think that's roughly correct
where can i find the foundation unofficial mark scheme

Work out how much money the rent cost in pounds by finding 30% of 800, increase this value by 20%, then use this as a fraction (I think it was 288/800). Divide top and bottom by 8 to get 36/100, which is 36%

I left it in the the 2 way table, would I still get the marks?

yes! U will... so long the table labels *female and *theotherthingithinkitwasgallery
then.... u'll get the mark.. i did that for my mock exam and i still got the marks for a similar Q
