Question 1

Jack is keeping a record of the number of steps he takes each day. Work out the range of the number of steps.

(8565, 14707, 15323, 9788, 12482)

To find the range, you need to find the difference between the highest and the lowest number.

Therefore: 15323 - 8565 = 6758

Question 2

Work out  $\frac{1}{4}$  of 24

Divide by the denominator:
24 ÷ 4 = 6

Question 3

Work out −5 + 3

-5 + 3 = -2

Question 4

Write 6.384 correct to 1 decimal place. 

"to 1 decimal place" means 1 digit after decimal point, so the number should be 6.3 or 6.4

If the next digit after the target digit 9after 3) is 5 or more, you round the number up. If it is 4 or less it stays the same.

In this case it is 8, so more than 5. You round this up and the answer is 6.4
