Do not open this booklet until told to do so by your teacher. 2. Calculators are not permitted. Scribbling paper, graph paper, ruler and compasses are permitted, but are not essential, 3, Diagrams are NOT drawn to scale. They are intended only as aids. 4. You are encouraged to attempt all of the first 20 questions, where penalties do not apply. Your score will not go backwards in the last 10 questions by guessing, but in order to maximise your score in this section, you should only guess if you have narrowed the possibilities down to at most two options. 5, Read the instructions on the answer sheet carefully. It is the student's responsibility that the answer sheet is correctly coded, 6. When your teacher gives the signal, begin working on the problems. You have 1'/, hours working time. INTEGRITY OF THE COMPETITION To ensure the integrity of the Competition and to identify the outstanding students the AMC reserves the right to re-examine students before deciding whether to grant official status to their score. ANSWERS ON THE ANSWER SHEET 1. All answers should be recorded on the answer sheet. 2. Use only B or 2B lead pencil. 3. If a coding error is made, use only a plastic eraser to ensure that all lead marks and smudges are COMPLETELY removed.sl Questions 1 - 10, 3 marks each 1. 1.1 x 0.7 equals (A) 77 (B) 7.7 (C) 0.77 (D) 0.707 (E) 7.07 P+324+3? 2 ooo pas mals 3 9 3 729 (A) 5 By (C)1 ()7 © 5 3.

There are 40 students in a class. One week a group of students from the class went on an excursion, then the next week a group of students went on a different excursion, and the next week again a group of students from the class went on another excursion, When the teacher added up the number of students that went on the first excursion, the number of students that went on the second one and the number of students that went on the third one, he got 75.
