yeah 2001,2002 papers seem more demanding compared to 2004 its not fair 
But yeah their are a few hard questions in it, some even using 2unit concepts.
But also their are some very basic ones that I would expect year 6 kids to know like "commission" lol.
Oh well good luck in the exam and I can only pray that its like 2004 which I doubt highly

For Q1:
We first need to find the area of the garden, that is the area of the quadrilateral in diagram
Let's look at top triangle:
base=6+4=10m
height is 5.1
Area of top triangle=1/2 x base x height
=1/2 x 10 x 5.1
=25.5m2
Now for bottom triangle:
base is same=10m
height=6.3m
.: Area of bottom triangle=1/2 x base x height
=1/2 x 10 x 6.3
=31.5m2
.: total area of garden bed=Areatop triangle+Areabottom triangle
=25.5+31.5
=57m2
Now since the layer of straw is 5cm high we multiply the cross sectional area (area of the quadraliteral that we just found) by 0.05m (5cm=0.05m)
.: Volume of straw required= 0.05x57
=2.85m3
Q2: h squared just means hxh or h2
so R=w/h2

In your Question 3, cost (C) is proportional to the cube of the length (b).
So write a proportionality equation:
C ∞ b^3
Then straight away replace the proportionality sign "∞" with "= k x" - and the x here is multiplication.
So we get:
C = k x b^3
The magic value k is known as the constant of proportionality.
For more info on this topic have a look at http://community.boredofstudies.org/showpost.php?p=1945405&postcount=2
In your Question 4, remember the table is for a loan of $1000.
So if you borrow $1000 at 7.0% for 20 years, then the table says you have a monthly repayment of $7.75.
But we're borrowing $150 000, not $1000. Since $150 000 is really 150 lots of $1000, we have to make 150 lots of monthly repayments.
So for a loan of $150 000, the monthly repayment is 150 x 7.75 = $1162.50
Does this help?
