1 A There are two circles in the set Space and Geometry Easy D
This question tests estimation By visual approximation based on the width of each glass and the height of the level of water in each glass, D contains the most water
Measurement Easy A The pattern is created by adding 110 to the previous number 585 + 110 = 695 Algebra and Pattern Easy B There are 13 smiling faces out of the total of 20 Number and Arithmetic Easy B
The new shape is a rhombus It has equal sides and not all its angles are equal

Geometry Medium C × 19 = 152 Number and Arithmetic Medium B This number has ones, tenths and 1 hundredth Therefore, the number is 3.21. Number and Arithmetic Medium/Hard B
From to 10 minutes, the volume of water changed from approximately 120 mL to 320 mL (the difference is 200 mL in
5 minutes) However, between 10 minutes and 15 minutes the change was from 320 mL to 600 mL (280 mL change in the same period of time, minutes) From 15 minutes to
20 minutes, the change was 200 mL (600 mL to 800 mL) and from 20 minutes to 25 minutes the change was the least Therefore, since we are measuring over the same period of time (5 minutes), the fastest rate of leaking was from 10 to 15 minutes

The two sides of the trapezium would be cm + cm = cm The rest of the trapezium, which is 21 cm, would have to be formed by the two bases (the top and the bottom base of the shape) Knowing that each tile has a side of cm, we need to divide 21 by
