Mathematical Literacy/P2 7 NW/June 2025 Grade 12 QUESTION 3 3.1 Pule, a young farmer specialising in maize, stores his harvest in square based silos. Every silo is covered with a special material for heat control. The base of the silo is not covered but placed on the steel stand. The picture below shows the dimensions of one of the silos. COVERED SQUARE BASED SILO NOTE The dimensions of the rectangular silo are as follows: Height = 3 000 mm Side of the base = 2,3 m Height = 3 000 mm Side = 2,3m [Adapted from http//: www.pixelsquid.com] Use the information above to answer the questions that follow. 3.1.1 Explain the concept perimeter in this context. (2) 3.1.2 Calculate the volume (to nearest m3) of a rectangular silo. [http//: www.pixelsquid.com] You may use the following formula: Volume = s2 × h (4) 3.1.3 Calculate the total material needed to cover the THREE silos for heat control. You may use the following formula: Area = 4s × height + s2 (5) 3.1.4 Give ONE possible reason why the silos are placed on the steel stands. (2) Copyright reserved Please turn over
Mathematical Literacy/P2 8 NW/June 2025 Grade 12 3.2 Pule intends to buy three new cylindrical silos, to top up the silos he already has. The cylindical silos have cone-shaped lids and bases. The maize will only be stored in the silo as shown below. Below is a picture of a cylindical silo and its diagram without the lid and the base. CYLINDRICAL SILO THE CYLINDRICAL SILO WITHOUT THE LID AND THE BASE The diameter of the cylindrical silo is 2,3 m with the volume of 3 962,5808 gallons NOTE: 1 gallon = 3,7854 litres 1 000 litres = 1 m3 [Adapted from http//: www.pixelsquid.com] ` Use the information above to answer the questions that follow. 3.2.1 Convert the volume of a cylindrical silo to m3. Round off answer to the nearest m3. (4) 3.2.2 Calculate the height of the cylindrical silo without the lid and the base. You may use the following formula: Volume of cylinder = 3,142 × r2 × h (4) 3.2.3 Pule was advised to paint the cylindrical silo with a silver shield paint. Each silo has a surface area of 34,33 m2. The spread rate of a silver shield paint is 9 m2 per litre for the first coat and 12 m2 per litre for the subsequent coats. The shopkeeper claims that Pule will need more than 20 litres of paint for the THREE silos. Verify, showing ALL calculations, whether the claim is VALID. (7) [28] Copyright reserved Please turn over
Mathematical Literacy/P2 9 NW/June 2025 Grade 12 QUESTION 4 Mac is an athlete who looks after his weight without a compromise. He is cautious about his daily calory intake. He consulted with his dietician who gave him the following information:  The normal daily calory intake for men is 2 500 and for females is 2 000  To lose weight, one must reduce daily calory intake by 500–600 Use the information above to answer the questions that follow. 4.1 Write down the acronym BMI in full. (2) 4.2 Mac divided his daily calory intake of 2 500 into the ratio 4 : 3 : 2 amongst breakfast, lunch and supper respectively. (4) Calculate the amount of calories Mac should consume for supper. Round off the answer to the nearest 10. 4.3 Calculate the maximum daily calory intake for men to lose weight. (3) 4.4 Mac is 170 cm high and with a BMI of 23,1 kg per m2 Calculate Mac’s mass. You may use the following formula: 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐤𝐠 BMI = (𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐦)𝟐 (4) 4.5 Mac was advised to preheat the oven to 450 ℉ when he prepares his meals. He tried to convert this temperature and got 230 ℃ rounded off to 10 ℃. Verify whether Mac converted the temperature CORRECTLY. You may use the following formula: ℉ = (1,8 × ℃) + 32° (4) Copyright reserved Please turn over
