15 is the exact answer so you would need to write 15 to get all the marks.I Got a 63-65. Silly Mistakes!!!I Got 14.7 km for the distance under the graph. Is there a range?

But doesn't it depend on how i took the points from the graph?
Using the information in the question, the top side must be 19, the bottom must be 26 and the height must be 40.

about 1/2(1/2x) wont the answer be 2x/2 since it will be 1/2/2x and the denominator becomes the numerator so therefore it will be 1(2x)/2??

Ahh, I made some really silly mistakes! I think I got around 63. I'm gonna need to work my butt off for paper 4!
I'm gonna need to work my butt off for paper 4! I cannot tell you since I don't know the grade boundaries for Paper 2 or Paper 4.
Over the last 2 years, the average mark needed to get A* is 175/200. So if this year follows the average, you'll need around 115/130 in Paper 4 to get an A*.
But the grade boundaries could be completely different for these papers.
2x/2 = x
If you wrote 2x/2 then you'll get 1 mark because the question asks for the answer in it's simplest form.

damn cant believe i forgot to do that!!....anyways am getting about 62-64....jus need to work hard in paper 4!
For A' U B', you would shade the whole diagram.
What I have shaded is correct for A' intersection B'.

Okay, first, what if I wrote 1/x? Second, I wrote -0.4, -0.5, -0.6 with the same working. How much will I get for both questions?
This is a hard question to answer.
Most IGCSE questions only require the answer to get full marks. But 4 mark+ questions like this sometimes need working to get all the marks.
If you have written no working at all (or all your working is wrong), I'm 50-50 unsure whether you'll get 4 marks or 1 mark.

Sir is 63/70 good?
You will get no marks for writing 1/x but you may get a mark for your working. What working did you write?
For the inequality question, if all your working is correct, I predict you will get 3/4 marks for that question.
I don't know how you define good so I can't answer that.Sir is 63/70 good?

I wrote all the working for both questions and it's correct. And what about the speed time graph? I made very thing except converting from hours to minutes. Thank you for the help!
This depends on you and since I don't know you, I can't answer your question.
I consider a B to be a good grade for most students. But you probably wouldn't be happy with a B and would consider this a 'bad' grade.
Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
