The question, in short

Using a 14 km distance and 12 minutes, both rounded to the nearest unit, find the lower bound of the car's speed in kilometres per minute.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Solution · 3 marks

  1. 1Lower bound of distance = 14 − 0.5 = 13.5 km
  2. 2Upper bound of time = 12 + 0.5 = 12.5 min
  3. 3Lower bound of speed = 13.5 ÷ 12.5 = 1.08 km/min
