What bece-style objectives — set b means

You practise BECE-style objective questions that mix fractions, ratio, statistics and measurement. This helps you choose the correct answer quickly, check your working carefully, and build confidence for timed tests.

What you will practise

  • Put fractions in ascending order using common denominators or decimals.
  • Split a total amount using a given ratio.
  • Find a missing number from a mean question.
  • Read short objective items and choose one correct option.

Before you start

You should already be comfortable with equivalent fractions, basic division, and simple ratio ideas. You also need to know how to find the mean of a small set of numbers.

Not confident yet? Work through Objectives Set E first.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Arrange in ascending order: 2/3, 3/5, 7/10.

  • 3/5, 2/3, 7/10
  • 2/3, 3/5, 7/10
  • 7/10, 2/3, 3/5
  • 3/5, 7/10, 2/3
Answer: 3/5, 2/3, 7/10

Working: As decimals: 0.6, 0.667, 0.7 — so 3/5 < 2/3 < 7/10.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Comparing fractions by the top number only. Convert them first or use a common denominator.
  • Sharing money equally instead of using the stated ratio. Check the parts before dividing.
  • Forgetting that mean means total divided by number of values. Rearrange the totals carefully.
  • Rushing measurement or statistics questions. Read the units and all the data before answering.

Curriculum and exam alignment

Ghana GES Basic 7 to 9 syllabusBECE

This kind of practice normally comes in the upper Basic 7-9 maths work, where learners revise number, data and measurement ideas together. It supports preparation for the BECE by using objective questions similar to those seen in end-of-basic-school revision.

Curriculum notes are a general guide to where this work normally sits. Always check the syllabus your school or examination body is currently using.
