Every sheet in October 1964

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

  1. 1st October 1964Write the recurring decimal 0.9797... as a fraction in its simplest form.
  2. 2nd October 1964Make x the subject of y = 5x^2 - 5.
  3. 3rd October 1964y is directly proportional to x^2. When x = 3, y = 54. Work out y when x = 5.
  4. 4th October 1964In triangle ABC, angle A is 32°, angle B is 69° and side a is 16 cm. Use the sine rule to work out side b, to 1 decimal place.
  5. 5th October 19643 of 5 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
  6. 6th October 196420 newts are marked and released. Later 64 are caught, of which 8 are marked. Estimate the population.
