Session 5 Total: 75 marks

SECTION I

1. Arrange these numbers in DESCENDING order (largest first). [1]

3671 3761 3176 3617

All four numbers have their thousands digit as 3, so we cannot distinguish the

largest by looking at the 3.

Looking at the hundreds digit in the order stated, we see, 6, 7, 1, 6. Of these, 7 is the

largest, then 6. Hence, 3761 is the largest number and 3176 is the smallest number.

We have 3671 and 3617 and observe that their tens digits are 7 and 1 respectively.

Since 7 is larger than 1, 3671 is larger than 3617.

The numbers, in descending order, that is, largest number first will be,

3761, 3671, 3617, 3176

Answer______________3761, 3671, 3617, 3176_______________

4. Approximate 34 572 to the nearest HUNDRED. [1]

The digit 7 which is the tens digit is the digit in focus.

Since 7 < 5, then we must round up by adding 1 to the hundreds digit 5, making it 6.

So, 34 572 to the nearest hundred is 34 600.

Answer_______________ 34 600 ___________________
