Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate how many full groups of 7 sound clips can be made from 45 clips. How many clips are left over?
[2 marks]
2.
A musician has 52 sound samples. When dividing them equally into 8 playlists, how many complete playlists can be created, and how many samples will remain?
[2 marks]
3.
In a sound engineering class, 34 audio tracks are to be evenly distributed among 5 students. How many tracks does each student get, and what is the remainder of tracks?
[2 marks]
4.
A sound system plays 81 beats per measure. If the beats are grouped into measures of 10 beats each, how many full measures are there, and how many beats are left over?
[2 marks]
5.
A DJ has 73 sound effects to load into 6 different playlists. How many effects does each playlist get, and how many effects are left undistributed?
[2 marks]
