(2) 2.1.3 Measure the straight-line distance (in cm) between Lindela and Thabong on the map. Hence, use the bar scale to determine the actual straight-line distance, in kilometres, between the two towns. (5) 2.1.4 Use the bar scale to determine the number scale of the map in the form 1 : ... (3) 2.1.5 A tourist chooses ONE of the eight towns on the map at random to visit. Determine, as a percentage, the probability that the town lies on a national road. (3) 2.2 The Lindela Netball Club has a tournament in Thabong that starts at 10:00. The team travels in a hired minibus along the N13 to Siyakhula and then along the R513 to Thabong, a road distance of 150 km. • The minibus leaves Lindela at 07:50 and travels at an average speed of 90 km/h. • It stops for 20 minutes in Siyakhula to collect two players. 2.2.1 The coach claims that the team will arrive in Thabong at least 15 minutes before the tournament starts. Verify, showing ALL calculations, whether the coach’s claim is valid. Distance You may use the following formula: Time = (5) Average speed 2.2.2 The minibus uses 1 litre of diesel for every 9,6 km travelled. Diesel costs R21,35 per litre. The 15 players share the cost of the diesel for the return trip (there and back) equally. Calculate the amount that each player must pay.

Each candle has a diameter of 7 cm and a height of 12 cm. The candles are packed upright in rectangular cardboard boxes with inside measurements of 45 cm × 30 cm × 26 cm. 7 cm LABEL 12 cm 26 cm 30 cm 45 cm CANDLE BOX The following formulae may be used: Volume of a cylinder = π × radius2 × height, using π = 3,142 Total surface area of a rectangular box = 2(l × w) + 2(l × h) + 2(w × h) Use the information above to answer the questions that follow. 3.1.1 Define the term volume. (2) 3.1.2 Calculate the volume of ONE candle in cm3 . (3) 3.1.3 Every 1 cm3 of candle wax has a mass of 0,9 g. Candle wax is sold in 5 kg blocks. Ayanda has an order for 120 candles. Determine the number of blocks of wax that she must buy. NOTE: 1 kg = 1 000 g (5) 3.1.4 A rectangular paper label is wrapped once around each candle with an overlap of 1 cm. The height of the label is 80% of the height of the candle. Calculate the area of ONE label in cm2 . You may use the following formulae: Circumference = π × diameter and Area of a rectangle = length × width (4) 3.1.5 Ayanda claims that ONE box can hold more than 40 candles if the candles are packed upright in layers. Verify, showing ALL calculations, whether her claim is valid. (6) 3.1.6 Use the inside measurements of the box to calculate the total surface area (in cm2 ) of cardboard needed for ONE box. Ignore the thickness of the cardboard and any overlaps.
