Every sheet in July 1970

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st July 1970A histogram has two bars: one 5 units wide with frequency density 0.4, one 20 units wide with density 3.5. How many values in total?
  2. 2nd July 1970Simplify sqrt(12) + sqrt(27), giving your answer in the form a sqrt(b).
  3. 3rd July 1970Write 7/(x - 6) + 7/(x - 4) as a single fraction.
  4. 4th July 1970y is directly proportional to sqrt(x). When x = 36, y = 24. Work out y when x = 81.
