What has this got to do with math? Common sense probably, but clearly nothing to do with Math!

Whoever wrote this question must have been an Oppo supporter! :oIo:

Common sense has everything to do with maths. It is the foundation of all our studies actually.

Yes. It does not belong in a math test, or at least what we're used seeing in a math test. There are no calculations, or juggling of figures. It has more to do with basic common sense. But it was still a question in an exam, and the kids had to answer it. From the subjects offered at PSLE level, it is more apt to place this question in a math test than any other subject. Definitely not in an English or Mother Tongue Test. There should be a subject called Common Sense, although I don't know how its going to be taught.

Cheers!

You got your facts all mixed up.

1 Newton = the force needed to accelerate a mass of 1 kg to an acceleration of 1 m/s²

Thus, force in Newtons = mass x acceleration

Weight = gravitational force acting on a mass and accelerating it to g (acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.8 m/s²)

Thus, weight in Newtons = mass x g

JohnTan is right: weight is measure in N, mass in kg.

impressive !!!!!
