  p. 9 1.(c) 6 ÷ 2/3 = 6 x 3/2 = 9  
    4.(b) 3/4 ÷ 9/10 = 3/4 x 10/9 = 5/6  
  p. 29 example P = 1/4 x 22/7 x 28 + (2 x 14) = 50  
  p. 41 25 Fraction spent on books = 1 - 1/8 - 1/4 = 5/8
5/8 -> $50
1/8 -> $50 ÷ 5 = $10
1/4 = 2/8 = $10 x 2 = $20
 
  p. 42 38 3rd is Ali, US is Joe  
  p. 46 29 US on top of names to the right of the drawaing should be 3d.  
  p. 53 notes delete words after 8 min -> 200/5 x 8  
  p. 55 5.(b) Change "Area of 186 faces=" to "Area of 18 faces ="  
  p. 61 Learning Tasks change "...in task 4 your student could find angle ZWV =..." to "...in task 4 your student could find angle VZW =..."  
  p. 77 7 US on top of names to the right of the drawaing should be 3d.  
  p. 77 9 2nd to last line in solution should be $24 x 20 = $480  
  p. 85 2 Names for 3d edition are Devi and Gopal.  
  p. 89 9 Diagram needs to be redrawn. The remainder is 4/5 of the total. Draw another bar under the ramainder (4 parts) and divide into 5 units. Shade two of them, the remaining 3 unshaded units is $72. Problem could be solved by setting 3 units = $72, so 5 units (the remainder) = $120, which is 4/5 of the original. So 4 parts = $120, and 5 parts = $150. Or, each of the 4/5 parts could be divided up into 5 equal little units, so the total is 25 units, and 12 of them (2/5 of the remainder) is $72, so 25 of them is $150.  
  p. 90 notes Last equation is Time = Distance/Speed  
  p. 95 19 US on top of names to the right of the drawaing should be 3d.  
  p. 102 27 Names for 3d edition are Gopal and Raju.  
  p. 107 4.(a)  
  p. 114 1.(f) answer should be 2 1/12  
  p. 131   US Exercise number is 22.
