QUESTION 1

The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company has been providing visitors with a world-class experience since October 4, 1929. The company operates in a National Park and World Heritage Site.

The mountain’s magnetism has a way of drawing people in, compelling them to reach the summit. However, getting to the top was not always the effortless trip it is today.

The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is a cable car transportation system offering visitors a five-minute ride to the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. It is one of Cape Town's most popular tourist attractions with approximately one million people a year using the Cableway. [Source: www.tablemountain.net/content/page/about-history]

1.1 The Cableway was completed in 1929 at a cost of GB£ 60,000 (equivalent to £ 11,4 million in

2011). It has been upgraded three times since then. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_Mountain_Aerial_Cableway]

1.1.1 Determine the rate used to find the equivalent value for the GB£ in 2011 and write

your answer in the format GB£ 1 = £… in 2011. (3)

60 000 : 11 400 000 ma

11 400 000 ÷ 60 000m = 190

GB£ 1 = £ 190 in 2011 ca TL2 Fin

1.1.2 Approximately how many people used the Cableway from October 1929 until October

2018? (3)

1929 to 2018 = 89 years a 89 x 1 000 000m = 89 million peopleca TL2 Meas

1.2 An American family of 5 visits Cape Town in May and decides to go up the Cableway. The family consists of 2 parents, 2 children of ages 11 and 14, and one grandparent aged 73. They find the following table of rates on the website:

Ticket type MORNING (08h30-13h00)

Return One way Ticket type AFTERNOON (13h00 till close)

Return One way

Adult R330 R190 Adult R290 R190

Child 4-17 years of age R165 R90 Child

4-17 years of age R145 R90

SA Senior Citizen (7 days a week at Ticket Office)

R100 R50 SA Senior Citizen (7 days a week at Ticket Office)

R100 R50

1.2.1 Calculate the total cost for the entire family to go up the Cableway if they purchase

return tickets for the morning. (4)

R330 x 3ma + R165 x 2ma = R990 +m R330 = R1 320ca TL2 Fin [ if use Senior citizen rate = R660a + R100 + R330a = R1 090ca]

1.2.2 The son comments that he and his sister are “two for the price of one”. Use the return

rates to explain whether his comment is correct. (3)

His ticket is R165, his sister’s ticket is R165. The tickets for the 2 of them thus cost R330 which is the same price as 1 adult ticket. He is correct that their 2 Child tickets were the same price as one adult ticket. TL4 Fin

1.2.3 How much would they save if they waited and went up the Cableway after lunch

instead? Show all calculations. (5)

Afternoon: R290 x 3 + R145 x 2cm = 870 +m 290 = R1 160 R1 320 –m R1 160 = R160 They would save R160ca TL3 Fin

QUESTION 2

In Cape Town there are many Nature Reserves and so families that live there

often purchase annual access cards from SAN Parks. One of the options is given

below.

The Green Card:

The TMNP My Green Card is available exclusively to South African

residents of Cape Town, costs R157 and provides the holder with 12 free entries into any of the

Table Mountain National Park’s pay points: Cape of Good Hope (Cape Point); Boulders Penguin

Colony, Oudekraal and Silvermine, as well as to the braai and picnic areas at Tokai, Newlands

and Perdekloof. It offers fantastic value. [Source: www.sanparks.org/parks]

2.1 Tarren is going to study at UCT in 2020 and enjoys being in Nature. Could she purchase a

Green Card? Justify your answer. (2)

Yes. She will be a South African resident of Cape Town while she studies. (with valid justification) TL 4 Fin

2.2 Tarren discovers the attraction of being at Cape Point and decides that she will frequently go

there during the year. She considers buying a Green Card for R157.

2.2.1 Write down an equation that will represent the relationship between the number of visits she

makes to Cape Point and the cost per visit if she purchases a Green card. Let C be the

effective cost per visit and n the number of visits. (2)

C = 157a ÷ n a TL3 Fin




2.2.2 The line on the graph paper below represents the cost of purchasing an individual

ticket each time Tarren visits Cape Point.

3.4 To be environmentally friendly the garden store in Kirstenbosch sells

plants in recycled plastic bottles as shown alongside.

You may use the following information:

2,54 cm = 1 inch

1 cm3 = 1 mℓ

Soil has a mass of approximately 600 – 900 kg per cubic metre

(depending on the type of soil)

Soil is sold in 10 kg bags

The dimensions of the bottle are:

4 inches in diameter by 12,25 inches, and the soil is filled to halfway up

the bottle.

3.4.1 The store manager has to order soil for 300 plants to be sold in the plastic bottles.

(a) Show that the volume of soil required for one of the plastic bottles is approximately

1200 cm3. (7)

Note: Do not calculate the neck of the bottle separately from the rest of the bottle,

but rather work with an estimated volume of the bottle.

3.4.2 One of the assistants suggests that the bottles be wrapped in blue or green paper so

that the “flower pots” look more appealing. The paper wrap is 70cm wide and costs

R17 for a roll that is 1m long. He is only going to cover up the soil part of the bottle and

leave the clear plastic showing.

(a) Use the circumference of the bottle to determine the dimensions of the paper he

will require to wrap one “flower pots”. (3)

3.5 Kirstenbosch grows indigenous South African plants, and a large number of these are

fynbos. Fynbos is a natural vegetation occurring in a small area in Africa and is known for its

exceptional degree of biodiversity. Fynbos forms part of the Cape floral kingdom, as one of

only six floral kingdoms in the world, and with 9 600 recorded plant species, 70% of them

found nowhere else on the planet, the region is a globally recognised biodiversity hotspot.

The Cape floral kingdom is the smallest and richest per area unit. The diversity of fynbos

plants is extremely high, and they have over 9000 species of fynbos plants, around 6 200 of

which are endemic. The primary fynbos plant families are proteas, ericas and restios. Of the

ericas, 600 occur in the fynbos kingdom and only 26 are found in the rest of the world.

Furthermore, although the fynbos kingdom comprises only 6% of the area of southern Africa,

it makes up half the species of the subcontinent. In fact, fynbos counts for almost 1 in 5 of all

plant species in Africa.
