INTRODUCTION
Math proficiency is defined as the capacity to think and implement precise mathematical
principles, and proficiency is characterized as the capacity to calculate and analyse the offered
mathematics and IT information (Al-Qirim, Tarhini and Rouibah, 2017). Understanding essential
mathematical processes like divisions, multiplying, adding, and subtracting is part of core
mathematical skills. Individuals need arithmetic to acquire rational thought and cognitive
abilities in their daily actions. For tasks such as eating, following directions, analyzing invoices,
and participating in sports, the notion of arithmetic is necessary continue providing solutions to
issues and also making knowledge of mathematics, trends, timing, and forms. It was discovered
that perhaps the notion of reading and mathematics allows people to learn the core abilities they
need to succeed in existence. There is a broad strategy to improving reading and mathematics
skills and also assisting learners in order to live a happy and gratifying existence and
participating as an engaged and well-informed citizen. This arithmetic repertoire is divided into
three primary activities, each of which would be completed one by one.
Part 1
Question 1
Math proficiency, as previously mentioned, is defined as the capacity to analyze and
applying the basic mathematical principles. Understanding essential numerical calculations such
as divisions, multiplying, adding, and subtracting is required for essential mathematical skills.
The numerator and denominator concepts would be covered further down-
Numerator: When quantities are given as fractions, the formula is a/b, in which a
represents the numerator and b represents the denominator (Antignac, Scandariato and
Schneider, 2016). For example, 4/5 is a proportion, and the couple of percent bars are the line
that separates the numerals 4 and 5. Therefore, the numerator is the value well above fraction
line, while the denominator is the integer underneath it. The numerator is depicted in the diagram
beneath-

Denominator: The denominator is the lowest integer in a proportion which represents the
quantity of equivalent pieces separated into a thing (Berg and Carlsson, 2019).
Question 2
Expressing 24/40 and 18/42 in their simplest forms
3 ∧18
24 = 5 = 3
40 42 7
Question 3
(a) , Expressing the fraction 2/3, ¾ and 5/6 as equivalent fractions with a denominator of 12.
2 = 8 , 3 = 9 5 = 10
3 12 4 12 6 12
(b) A library contains 60,000 books. 14,000 are about business, 22,000 are on healthcare and
12,000 on psychology and law. What percentage of the library’s books is on computing, if
computing books make up two-thirds of the remainder?
The total books in the library = 60,000 Business books = 14000
Healthcare books = 22000 Psychology and law = 12000
Remaining book = 60000 – (14000 + 22000 + 12000) = 12000
The computer books is 2/3 of the remainder = 2/3 x 12000 = 8000 Therefore, the percentage of
the library books on computing will be; 8000/60000 x 100 = 13.33%
Question 4
-Liz purchases two pairs of running shoes
- Liz gives three Crisp £50 notes = £50 x 3 = £150
-Liz received £10.50 change
What is the amount for each pair? (let this be referred to as x) Therefore, 2x + 10.50 = 150
2x + 10.50 = 150
From the equation above, the value of x can be calculated as shown below. 2x = 150-10.50
2x = 139.50 X = 139.50/2 X = 69.75
Therefore, each pair of the running shoes cost £69.75

Question 5
(a). 240.50 x 19.54 (2 significant)
From the above expression, there is a total of four decimal places from the two numbers 24050
x 1954 = 46993700
240.50 x 19.54 = 4699. 3700
= 4699.37 (2 decimal places)
(b) Rewriting 52100 to the power of 10
5.21 x 104
Question 6
(a). A new gym offers 30% discount to individuals who sign up in the first month
-Patty and 2 siblings (which is 3 individuals in total)
-The 3 people paid a total amount of £210
-Let the total amount without the 30% discount be p
-Let the total discount be y Therefore
30/100 x P = y---------Eqn 1
P – y = 210...........Eqn 2
To solve for P, we substitute the value of y in equation 2
P – (30/100 x P) = 210 P – (30P/100) = 210
100P – 30P = 21000
70P = 21000 P = 21000/70 P = 300
We can now substitute the value of P in equation 2 to find y 300 – y = 210
y = 300- 210 = 90
Therefore, the total savings made was £90
(b) The total savings made was £90 There are 3 individuals involved
Therefore, the average savings per person can be calculated as
£90/3 = £30

Question 7
(a). ¾ - 7/9 + 2/3
(27-28+24)/36 = 23/36
(b) Which is the largest of the following numbers? 0.1, 0.02, 0.003, 0.0004, 0.00005
From the above, numbers the largest number is 0.1 because the position of the significant
number one is at tenth which is the largest position after the decimal place (Boyles, 2019).
Question 8
-90 men and 60 women were asked whether they had watched the latest ‘Expendables’ movie.
- The fraction of people that said yes = 3/5
-Fraction of women that said yes = 3/10
-Fraction of men that said yes = 3/5 – 3/10 = 3/10
-Fraction of men that said no = 1 – 3/10 = 7/10
-Number of men that said no = 7/10 x 90 = 63
-Percentage of men that said no = 63/90 x 100 = 70%
Question 9
-Annabelle lives at Bermondsey in London.
-She is required to speak in Birmingham at 10:30 am
-It will take her an hour (1 hr) to get to from her house to Euston Station, where she gets the
train to Birmingham
-The train journey from Euston Station to Birmingham is an hour and 10 minutes (7/6 hrs)
- The meeting venue In Birmingham is a 5-minute (1/6hr) walk from the station.
Therefore, total time it will take Annabelle to journey from her house to the meeting venue is =
1 hrs + 7/6 hrs + 1/12 hr = 27/12 hrs = 2 hours 15 minutes
In order to calculate the time, the total time needed to get the meeting venue from the
scheduled time
=(10hrs 30minutes) – (2hrs 15 minutes) = 8hr 15minutes
Even though the train that runs from Euston to Birmingham comes at 5 minutes past the hour,
25 minutes past the hour and 45 minutes past the hour.
