Sample questions (in Chinese)

Question 1解方程:1.5p = 13.5

p =

Answer and explanation

答案:p = 9

為甚麼?方程兩邊同時加、減、乘或除以同一個數(除數不是 0),兩邊仍然相等,就像天平兩邊做同樣的事仍然平衡。兩邊同時除以 1.5:p = 13.5 ÷ 1.5 = 9。

Question 2解方程:p − 12 = 11 12

p =

Answer and explanation

答案:p = 12

為甚麼?方程兩邊同時加、減、乘或除以同一個數(除數不是 0),兩邊仍然相等,就像天平兩邊做同樣的事仍然平衡。兩邊同時加上 12:p = 11 12 + 12 = 12。

Question 3解方程:50% × m = 300

m =

Answer and explanation

答案:m = 600

為甚麼?方程兩邊同時加、減、乘或除以同一個數(除數不是 0),兩邊仍然相等,就像天平兩邊做同樣的事仍然平衡。兩邊同時除以 50%:m = 300 ÷ 50% = 300 ÷ 0.5 = 600。

Question 4解方程:8(a − 6) = 104

a =

Answer and explanation

答案:a = 19

為甚麼?方程兩邊同時加、減、乘或除以同一個數(除數不是 0),兩邊仍然相等,就像天平兩邊做同樣的事仍然平衡。兩邊同時除以 8:a − 6 = 13;兩邊同時加上 6:a = 19。驗算:8 × (19 − 6) = 8 × 13 = 104。
