Step 2: To find the difference between the high and low tides we must find the largest high tide and smallest low tide. The largest high tide is 9.3 m and the smallest low tide is 0.5m. Step 3: 9.3 m subtract 0.5 m is 8.8 m, the difference between the highest and lowest tide is 8.8 m Step 4: The correct answer is – a) 8.8 m a) 8.8 m Correct Answer b) 7.3 m Refer to Explanation of Answer c) 11.1 m Refer to Explanation of Answer d) 9.8 m Refer to Explanation of Answer None Question 34. Steve had a shed that was becoming cluttered. He decided that he would hang some of his tools from a tool rack. In one section of the rack he could only fit 5 tools. Each tool needed a hook to hang on. The first and last hooks had to be 4 centimetres from the edge of the rack, and The distance between all 5 hooks had to be the same distance. The tool rack was 58cm long. How far apart was each hook from each other? Explanation of answer Step 1: Firstly the rack is 58 cm long. The first and last hooks must be 4 cms from the edge. This means that we can subtract the 4 cm from each end, 58 cm – 4 cm – 4 cm = 50 cm. Step 2: With 50 cm remaining on the board, there needs to be 5 hooks with the same distance between each hook. Step 3: We need to place the first and last hooks at the points 4cm from the end of the board. This leaves 3 hooks to fill into the remaining space of the board. To find out the distance between each hook we need to divide 50 cm by the 4 spaces between each hook. Step 4: 50 divided by 4 = 12.5 cm. To get this answer we can divide 40 cm by 4 = 10 cm and then divide 10 cm by 4 = 2.5 cm. Add the 10 cm and 2.5 cm together = 12.5 cm. The distance between each hook is 12.5 cm.
