1. NUMBERS
1.1 Integers, HCF/LCM, Prime numbers, Sig Figs, Dec Places
Question 1:
Find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 36 and 48. [2]
Solution:
We can do this by writing out all of the multiples of the two numbers. The multiples of 36 are:
36, 72, 108, 144, 180, ... The multiples of 48 are

Question 4:
1.2 Sets and Venn Diagram
Write the recurring decimal 0.32 as a fraction. [2]
Question 2:
[0.32 means 0.3222...]
a) = {x: 2 x 16, x is an integer}
Solution:
M = {even numbers}
P = {prime numbers}
i) Find n(M).
[1]
ii) Write down the set (P M). [1]
b) On the Venn diagram, shade A B.
[1]
Solution:
Part (a)(i)
() is the number of elements in set M. M is all the
even numbers between 2 and 16 inclusive which is
() =
Part (a)(ii)
( ) are the elements not in the union of sets P
and M.
( ) = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16} ( ) = {, }
Part (b)
We need to get rid of the recurring decimal by doing
the following
100 ? 0.32 = 32. 2
10 ? 0.32 = 3. 2
100 ? 0.32 - 10 ? 0.32 = 90 ? 0.32
= 32. 2 - 3. 2
90 ? 0.32 = 29
Now divide by 90
.

1.5 Order by Size
Question 5:
Write the following in order of size, smallest first. [2]
3.14
22 7
3.142 3
Solution:
The order of size can be found by writing all of these
numbers out to the same number of decimal places,
and then comparing. In order to do this, put each of
the values into the same format (decimals) using the
`SD' button (located above `DEL') on your calculator.
= 3.14159 (5. . )
3.14 = 3.14000 (5. . ) 22 7 = 3.14286 (5. . ) 3.142 = 3.14200 (5. . )
3 = 3.00000 (5. . )
Therefore, the order we get (smallest to largest) is:

1.6 Standard Form
Question 6:
Write 2.8 ? 102 as an ordinary number.
[1]
Solution:
We can write 2.8 x 102 as an ordinary number like this: 2.8 x 102 simply means 2.8 x 100
. ? =
Solution:
Write all numbers correct to one significant figure:
4 ? 30
9-3 Do the calculations.
2 ? 30 60 6 =6
We get the final answer:
1.7 Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/
Division of Fractions & Decimals
Question 7:
Show that
13 1 2 ? 16 = 8 Do not use a calculator and show all the steps of your
working.
[2]
Solution:
This question is most simply done by converting
everything
to
proper
fractions.
We
want
to
change
1
1 2
into a proper fraction, which can be done as shown.
1
1
21 3
12 1+2 2+2 2
Our problem then becomes
33 2 ? 16 We can use `Keep-Change-Flip' to change this to a
multiplication problem. We keep 32, change ? into ?,
and
flip
3 16
to
136.
3 16 2? 3
We now can multiply the numerators and
denominators.
3 ? 16 48
2?3 = 6 =8
Hence
?

1.8 Estimation
Question 8:
By writing each number correct to 1 significant figure,
estimate the value of
3 9 ? 29 3

Show all your working.
[2]
1.9 Bounds
Question 9:
An equilateral triangle has sides of length 16.1 cm, correct to the nearest millimetre.
Find the lower and upper bounds of the perimeter of
the triangle.
[2]
Solution:
An equilateral
triangle has all sides and angles equal.
16.1
16.1
We know that each
side is 16.1 to the
nearest mm. This
means
16.1
that, each side could
be between 16.15 and16.05.
We can therefore calculate:
The minimum perimeter/lower bound is:
16.05 + 16.05 + 16.05 = .
And the maximum perimeter/upper bound is:
16.15 + 16.15 + 16.15 = .
1.10 Ratios
Question 10:
The scale on a map is 1: 20 000.
(a) Calculate the actual distance between two points
which are 2.7 cm apart on the map.
Give your answer in kilometres.
[2]
(b) A field has an area of 64 400 2 .
Calculate the area of the field on the map in 2
[2]
PAGE 3 OF 26
CIE IGCSE MATHEMATICS//0580
Solution: Part (a)
Multiply the distance on the map by the scale factor to find the real distance in centimeters.
= 2.7 ? 20 000 = 54 000
Divide the distance by 100 to get the distance in meters. (1m = 100cm)
= 540 Divide the real distance in meters by 1000 to get the distance in kilometers (1km = 1000m)
=.
Part (b)
Multiply the area by 10 000 to get the area in square centimeters. (1m2 = 100cm x 100cm= 10 000 cm2)
= 644 000 000 2 Divide by the scale factor 20 0002to get the area on the map. (Note: Area scale factor is the square of the length scale factor)
644 000 000 2 = (20 000)2
= .
1.11 Percentages
Question 11:
In 1970 the population of China was 8.2 x 108. In 2007 the population of China was 1.322 x 109.
Calculate the population in 2007 as a percentage of
the population in 1970.
[2]
Solution:
The population in 2007 as a percentage of the
population in 1970 can be calculated by:
2007 1970
? 100,
Substituting in the values gives:
1.322 ? 109 8.2 ? 108
? 100
= 161. 2 1951
The answer after rounding is:
%
1.12 Using a calculator
Use your calculator to find the value of (cos30?)2 - (sin 30?)2 2(sin120?)(cos 120?)
Question 12:
[2]
Solution:
By inputting the values into your calculator, you get:
(cos(30))2 - (sin(30))2 2(sin(120)(cos(120))

1.13 Time
Question 13:
A train leaves Zurich at 22 40 and arrives in Vienna at 07 32 the next day. Work out the time taken. [1]
Solution:
We can count the time it takes to get us to the Vienna. Add 20 minutes to take it to the next hour:
22: 40 + 20 = 23: 00 Add 1 hour to take it to the next day (24:00 is equivalent to midnight, or 00:00)
23: 00 + 1 = 24: 00 (= 00: 00) Now add 7 hours and 32 minutes to get to the desired time
00: 00 + 7 32 = 07: 32 The time taken is all the hours and minutes added together like this
20 + 1 + 7 32 Total time = (8hr 52m)
1.14 Currency Conversions
Question 14:
(a) In 2007, a tourist changed 4000 Chinese Yuan into
pounds (?) when the exchange rate was ?1 =
15.2978 Chinese Yuan. Calculate the amount he
received, giving your answer correct to 2 decimal
places.
[2]
(b) In 2006, the exchange rate was ?1 = 15.9128
Chinese Yuan. Calculate the percentage decrease
in the number of Chinese Yuan for each ?1 from
2006 to 2007.
[2]
Solution: Part (a)
In order to change from Chinese Yuan into pounds, we can do this:
1 = ?0.06537 4000 = ?0.06537 ? 4000
4000 = ?261.4755 But we need this to the nearest penny
= ?.
PAGE 4 OF 26
CIE IGCSE MATHEMATICS//0580
Part (b)
To calculate the percentage decrease we need to do
the following: ?1
?1 2006
? 100
15.9128 - 15.2978
15.9128
? 100 = 3.8648
Hence the percentage decrease is 3.865%
1.15 Finance Problems
Question 15:
Emily invests $x at a rate of 3% per year simple
interest. After 5 years she has $20.10 interest. Find
the value of x.
[3]
Solution:
The equation for simple interest is
Where:
+ = (1 + 100 )
? = Principal investment value
? i = Interest gained
? R = Interest rate (%)
? t = Investment time 3?5
+ 20.1 = (1 + 100 ) 20.1
1 + = 1 + 0.06 20.1
= 0.06 =
1.16 Finance Problems
Question 16:
Zainab borrows $198 from a bank to pay for a new
bed. The bank charges compound interest at 1.9 % per
month. Calculate how much interest she owes at the
end of 3 months. Give your answer correct to 2
decimal places.
[3]
Solution:
To calculate how much interest she owes on $198 at
the end of the 3 months we first must calculate the
total amount after interest at the end of the 3 months.
This is done as follows:
198
?
(1
+
100)
3
where is the interest rate. As we know that the
interest rate is 1.9%,
r
=(1
+
1.9 )
100
3
=
1.019
and hence the total amount after interest is:
198 ? 1.0193 = $209.50.
Hence Zainab owes the bank
$209.5 - $198 = $11.5
So, the answer is:
$.
