Every sheet in July 1990

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 1990y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 2, y = 12. Work out y when x = 6.
  2. 2nd July 1990A cone has base radius 7 cm and vertical height 15 cm. Work out its volume, leaving your answer in terms of pi.
