Every sheet in August 1976

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

  1. 1st August 1976y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 5, y = 6. Work out y when x = 3.
  2. 2nd August 1976In triangle ABC, angle A is 77°, angle B is 70° and side a is 14 cm. Use the sine rule to work out side b, to 1 decimal place.
  3. 3rd August 19764 of 9 bulbs in a box are faulty. Two are taken with replacement. Work out the probability at least one is faulty.
