• 40 km/h on gravel roads
Gate times:
• Entrance gates open at 05:30
• Camp gates open at 04:30
• All gates close at 18:30
ANNEXURE B shows a part of a map of the Kruger National Park and
TABLE 2 shows the distances between camps and gates.
Use the information above and ANNEXURE B to answer the questions that
follow.
2.2.1 Give ONE possible reason why there are specific times for the opening
and closing of gates at the park. (2)
2.2.2 Determine the difference in the number of main camps and other camps
on this part of the map. (2)
2.2.3 If Odwa leaves Skukuza at 17:15 and leaves the park through the Numbi
Gate, determine the time that he will reach the Numbi Gate.
The following formula may be used:
Distance = speed × time
NOTE: The distance on the gravel road is the same as the distance on
the tarred road. (5)
2.2.4 Give a possible reason why most people visiting the park prefer to travel
on the gravel roads, instead of the tarred roads. (2)

QUESTION 3
3.1 In a Mathematical Literacy classroom, a teacher keeps coloured pencils in three
identical cylindrical containers. These pencils remain in the containers until they
are used or lost. Below is an example of an image of the container with the
coloured pencils and the diagram of the cylindrical container.
(Diagram NOT drawn to scale.)
Example of image of container Diagram of cylindrical container
with coloured pencils with dimensions
Diameter = 83 mm
Height = 22 cm
3.1.1 The diameter of one of the coloured pencils is 6 mm and the length is
16,7 cm. Verify, with the necessary calculations, that 39 coloured
pencils can fit into THREE of the cylindrical containers. (9)
3.1.2 The teacher packs some of the coloured pencils as follows in each of the
containers: 3 pink, 2 black, 2 purple and 3 orange pencils. Calculate the
probability that if a coloured pencil is taken from ALL the containers, it
will be a purple pencil. Give your final answer to THREE decimal
places. (3)

3.2 Invitation cards for a party are in a rectangular shape, with a circular photo of the
birthday girl in the middle of the invitation card. An example of the invitation card
is given below and a diagram with dimensions.
Example of image of invitation Diagram of invitation card with
without photo dimensions
3.2.1 (a) Calculate the area of the rectangular invitation card to the nearest
mm2.
You may use the following formula:
Area of a rectangle = length × width (3)
(b) Hence, calculate the area of the rectangular invitation card without
the photo to the nearest mm2.
You may use the following formula:
Area of circle = π × radius2. Use π = 3,142 (4)

3.2.2 One of the guests buys a gift that is packaged in a rectangular box as
shown below. She must wrap the gift box with wrapping paper.
Dimensions of the box are:
Length = 38,8 cm
Width = 27,5 cm
Height = 30 cm
Calculate the total surface area in cm2 of the paper that is needed to wrap
the gift box.
You may use the following formula:
Total Surface Area of gift box = 2 (length × width) +
2 (width × height) + 2 (length × height) (4)

3.3 Electricity has become a scarce resource in South Africa. As a result, the country
is investigating alternative sources of generating electricity. One alternative
source of generating electricity is a wind turbine using rotating blades as shown
in the picture and diagram below.
Image of wind turbine Diagram of wind turbine
The wind turbine is mounted on the top of a 50 m high tower.
The length of each blade is 31 m.
3.3.1 Determine the length of the diameter of the circle that the blades create
as they rotate. (2)
3.3.2 Calculate the maximum height from the ground to the tip of a blade if
the turbine is rotating. (2)
3.3.3 Calculate the circumference of the circle made by the blades when it
rotates twice.
You may use the following formula:
Circumference = 2 × π × radius, using π = 3,142 (2)
3.3.4 Suppose each household requires 25 kWh of electricity daily.
If one wind turbine produces 1 750 kWh of electricity daily, calculate
how many households could be provided with electricity daily from one
such turbine. (2)

Dimensions:
Radius = 30 cm
Height = 45 cm
30 cm
30 cm
45 cm
Sandra fills each basin to three quarters (¾) of its capacity whenever she washes
or rinses the dishes.
Calculate how much water (in litres) she will use daily to wash and rinse dishes
by hand. (NOTE: 1 000 cm3 = 1 litre)
You may use the following formula:
Volume = π × r2 × h, use π = 3,142 (5)
