Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
Negative numbers get smaller the further they are from zero, so − 7 -7 − 7 is the smallest.
Order: − 7 , − 2 , − 1 , 0 , 7 -7, -2, -1, 0, 7 − 7 , − 2 , − 1 , 0 , 7
Watch out: Putting − 1 -1 − 1 before − 7 -7 − 7 because 1 is smaller than 7.

Show answer(a) 49 minutes 2 marks (b) Yes: she catches the 08 09 bus, arrives in Bolton at 08 58 and reaches work at 09 13 3 marks
Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
(a) 07 20 to 08 00 is 40 minutes, then 08 00 to 08 09 is 9 more: 49 minutes .
(b) She reaches Blackrod at 08 00 + 7 = 08 07 08\,00 + 7 = 08\,07 08 00 + 7 = 08 07 , so she catches the 08 09 bus.
That bus reaches Bolton at 08 58, and 08 58 + 15 = 09 13 08\,58 + 15 = 09\,13 08 58 + 15 = 09 13 .
09 13 is before 09 20, so yes .
Watch out: Treating times as decimals, e.g. 8.09 − 7.20 = 0.89 8.09 - 7.20 = 0.89 8.09 − 7.20 = 0.89 .

Worked solution Checked against the mark scheme
Offer 1: pay 2 × 75 = 150 2 \times 75 = 150 2 × 75 = 150 p for 3 bottles, which is 6 pints. 150 ÷ 6 = 25 150 \div 6 = 25 150 ÷ 6 = 25 p per pint.
Offer 2: pay 128 + 64 = 192 128 + 64 = 192 128 + 64 = 192 p for 2 bottles, which is 8 pints. 192 ÷ 8 = 24 192 \div 8 = 24 192 ÷ 8 = 24 p per pint.
The 4-pint offer is better value.
Watch out: Comparing the price per bottle without allowing for the different sizes.
