This was not answered well overall. The correct answer was usually given by most of the highest scoring candidates only. The most common errors were to give the answer 300 from knowing 1 cm = 100 m but only applying this in one dimension or to give the answer as 3000.
— Examiner report, October/November 2023, 4024/11 Q8(b) (Cambridge)
Many candidates used the correct order of operations to find the correct answer of 14. The most common error was to carry out the operations from left to right, (20 – 12) ÷ 2 with the answer 4.
