Answer: -1.2, -1.02, -0.9, -0.12, 0.9
Question 24
B1 identifies the error: for negative numbers a bigger digit means further from zero and therefore smaller, not greater, so whole-number reasoning (6 > 2) cannot be applied directly oe
B1 correctly concludes -0.2 is the greater number, since -0.6 is further below zero than -0.2, so -0.6 < -0.2 cao
Answer: Priya is wrong: for negative numbers, the one further from zero is smaller, not greater. -0.6 is further below zero than -0.2, so -0.6 < -0.2, which means -0.2 is actually the greater number.
Question 25
M1 sets up units digit = 2 x thousands digit and tests possible values (thousands = 1,2,3,4 giving units = 2,4,6,8) oe
M1 applies tens digit = thousands + 3 and the constraint 'between 3,000 and 4,000' to eliminate other cases, identifying thousands = 3, units = 6, tens = 6
