Ostrich meat is fat-free, low in calories and cholesterol, while being rich in protein. 1.1 Gretchen is collecting all the recipes for cooking with ostrich meat. The following is a recipe for Ostrich Fillet in Naartjie Sauce. Serves 4 people 1 lb (pound) 2 oz (ounce) Ostrich Fillet 1½ tsp beef stock powder Juice and grated peel of 1 large orange 60 mℓ vinegar 1 tbsp honey 2 tbsp olive oil 1 can naartjies Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1.1.1 While Grecthen is preparing the recipe, the only measuring spoon that she has is a 5 mℓ teaspoon (tsp). The recipe requires 2 tablespoons (tbsp) of olive oil. How many teaspoons of olive oil will Grecthen use if ? (3) 1.1.2 How many cans of naartjies will be used if Gretchen prepares the recipe for 20 people? (2) 1.1.3 According to the recipe Gretchen has to preheat the oven to 400 ºF (Fahrenheit). Her stove’s temperature is in degrees Celsius (ºC) and she sets it to 220 ºC. Show by using the formula below whether Gretchen used the correct temperature setting in ºC. Formula; Give your answer to the nearest 10º. (4) 1.2 In South Africa meat is sold in kilograms (kg). Convert the ostrich fillet needed for the recipe to determine how many kilograms of ostrich fillet Gretchen has to buy. Give your final answer to 1 decimal place.

Over these four years he managed to save 16% as a deposit of the price of the brand new car he wants to buy. He is interested in buying a 2011 Chevrolet Orlando 1,8 model. Mondo visited the Delta Motor Dealer to purchase the car. The price of the car is R250 000. For the purpose of this we are going to focus on the price of the car only (no other initial cost). 2.1.1 Calculate the amount Mondo saved for the deposit. (2) 2.1.2 Mondo managed to get a loan from a bank for the outstanding amount. He will repay the loan over 72 months at 9,5% per annum simple interest. Calculate how much Mondo will pay if it takes him exactly 72 months to repay the loan. Use the formula: where; , , (5) 2.1.3 How much interest will Mondo pay on the loan? (2) 2.2 When a new car is bought, the owner must be aware of the fact that the value of the car depreciates. As soon as you drive your brand new car out of the showroom, it does not have the same value you bought it for. Mondo learnt that the value of his car depreciates at a rate of 20% per annum. The following table shows the relationship between the value of the car and the number of years. Table 1 Year 0 1 2 3 4 Value in 250 000 200 000 A 128 000 102 400 Rand 2.2.1 Calculate the missing value (A) by using the formula; where; (3) ### Page 8 Downloaded from hlayiso.com (NOVEMBER 2012) MATHEMATICAL LITERACY P2 7 2.2.2 Use the information in the table to draw a graph (ANNEXURE A) that shows the relationship between the value of the car and the number of years. (5) 2.2.3 What type of proportion is illustrated by the table or graph? Give a reason for your answer. (2) 2.3 In the showroom there were different colours of the Chevrolet Orlando that Mondo wants to buy (2 red, 3 silver, 4 grey and 5 black). What is the probability that Mondo will choose a silver Chevrolet Orlando?

They played every other team in their group only once. One of the groups (GROUP D) in the table below shows the possible games. The teams in GROUP D were Fiji (F), South Africa (SA), Samoa (S), Wales (W) and Namibia (N). Use the table to answer the questions below. Table 2 Teams F SA S W N F FF FSA FS FW FN SA SAF SASA SAS SAW SAN S SF SSA SS SW SN W WF WSA WS WW WN N NF NSA NS NW NN 3.1.1 How many of the matches were not possible? Explain your answer. (2) 3.1.2 How many matches did not take place since the teams only played each other once? (2) 3.1.3 How many matches did each team play? (2) 3.1.4 What is the total number of matches played during this group stage of the Rugby World Cup? (2) 3.1.5 What is the probability that a team won at least ONE of their matches? (2) 3.1.6 Calculate the probability that a team will win all their matches in the group stage and proceed to the quarter finals. Take into consideration that not one of the matches ended in a draw. (2) 3.2 The final score of the match between South Africa and Fiji was 49 – 3 in favour of South Africa. A try is worth 5 points, a conversion 2 points and a penalty 3 points. 3.2.1 (a) Write down a formula to show how the final score of a rugby match is calculated. Use (s) for final score, (t) for tries, (c) for conversions and (p) for penalties. (3) (b) Use your formula in QUESTION 3.2.1 (a) to show how South Africa’s final score was calculated if they scored 6 tries, 5 conversions and 3 penalties. (2) 3.2.2 How did Fiji score their points? (1) ### Page 10 Downloaded from hlayiso.com (NOVEMBER 2012) MATHEMATICAL LITERACY P2 9 3.3 The match between South Africa and Fiji was played at Wellington Regional Stadium in Wellington City, New Zealand. The ticket prices for this stadium for this specific match are listed in the table below in New Zealand Dollar (NZD). Table 3 Category A Category B Category C Category D 153 NZD 123 NZD 97 NZD 66 NZD 3.3.1 Trevor, a South African citizen, bought a Category B ticket via the internet. When the ticket was bought the exchange rate was 1 ZAR (South African Rand) = 0,15761 NZD. Calculate how much he paid for this ticket in Rand (ZAR). (3) 3.3.2 When Trevor came back from New Zealand, he still had 200 NZD left and exchanges it to Rand (ZAR). The exchange rate at the time of exchanging was 1 NZD = R6,3450 (ZAR).
