Following Instructions 1
Following instructions is an important skill in 11 Plus tests. Pupils must read carefully, understand the details, and carry out each step without missing key information.
Example:
Multiply the first figure by the sum of the last two:
8, 5, 4
Answer:
The sum of the last two digits is 9 (5 + 4 = 9). The answer is 9 x 8 = 72
Multiply the first figure by the sum of the last two:
8, 5, 4
Answer:
The sum of the last two digits is 9 (5 + 4 = 9). The answer is 9 x 8 = 72
1 .
Multiply the second figure by the sum of the first and last:
4, 6, 2
4, 6, 2
48
36
24
12
The sum of the first and last figures is 6 (4 + 2 = 6). The answer is 6 x 6 = 36
2 .
Subtract the first figure from the quotient of the last two (the last figure is the dividend and the middle one is the divisor):
5, 3, 33
5, 3, 33
94
16
6
-2
The quotient of the last two figures is 11, if 33 is the dividend and 3 the divisor (33 ÷ 3 = 11). The answer is 11 - 5 = 6
3 .
Multiply the last figure by the sum of the first two:
4, 9, 2
4, 9, 2
44
72
18
26
The sum of the first two figures is 13 (4 + 9 = 13). The answer is 13 x 2 = 26
4 .
Subtract the first figure from the second, then multiply your answer by the third:
18, 32, 3
18, 32, 3
14
-42
28
42
The second figure minus the first is 14 (32 - 18 = 14). The answer is 14 x 3 = 42
5 .
Subtract the first figure from the product of the last two:
30, 8, 9
30, 8, 9
42
-13
-42
13
The product of the last two figures is 72 (8 x 9 = 72). The answer is 72 - 30 = 42
6 .
Subtract the third figure from the quotient of the first two (the first figure is the dividend and the second is the divisor):
15, 3, 1
15, 3, 1
17
44
14
4
The quotient of the first two figures is 5, if 15 is the dividend and 3 the divisor (15 ÷ 3 = 5). The answer is 5 - 1 = 4
7 .
Multiply the first figure by the sum of the last two:
3, 4, 8
3, 4, 8
56
26
36
16
The sum of the last two digits is 12 (4 + 8 = 12). The answer is 3 x 12 = 36
8 .
Add the first figure to the quotient of the last two (the middle figure is the dividend and the last is the divisor):
17, 36, 12
17, 36, 12
20
29
19
65
The quotient of the last two figures is 3, if 36 is the dividend and 12 the divisor (36 ÷ 12 = 3). The answer is 17 + 3 = 20
9 .
Add the last figure to the product of the first two:
2, 8, 7
2, 8, 7
17
23
58
37
The product of the first two figures is 16 (2 x 8 = 16). The answer is 16 + 7 = 23
10 .
Add the first figure to the product of the last two:
5, 2, 7
5, 2, 7
19
14
24
70
The product of the last two digits is 14 (2 x 7 = 14). The answer is 5 + 14 = 19
