15. Question 15

    2 marks

    A shopkeeper packs $6$ eggs in each tray. How many eggs are there in $15$ trays?

    (2 marks)

    Marking scheme

    Multiply the number of trays by eggs per tray: $15\times 6$. $15\times 6=(10\times 6)+(5\times 6)=60+30=90$. Final answer: $90$ eggs.

16. Question 16

    1 mark

    What are the first 3 multiples of 9 (excluding 0)?

    A. 8, 18, 27

    B. 9, 18, 28

    C. 9, 18, 27

    D. 9, 19, 27

    (1 mark)

    Marking scheme

    C. $9,18,27$ — multiples come from multiplying by $1,2,3$: $9$, $18$, $27$. Each is $9$ more than the one before, which rules out the options that break that step.

17. Question 17

    1 mark

    A matatu carries $23$ passengers on each trip. How many passengers does it carry in $4$ full trips? Work out $23\times 4$.

    A. $812$

    B. $82$

    C. $27$

    D. $92$

    (1 mark)

    Marking scheme

    D. $92$ — split by place value: $20\times 4=80$ and $3\times 4=12$, giving $92$. B drops the carry, C adds instead of multiplying, A writes digits side by side.
