Adding and Subtracting Decimal

To add decimal numbers:

1. Put the numbers in a vertical column, aligning the decimal point.
2. Add each column of digits, starting on the right and working and working left . If the sum of a column is more than ten, "carry" digits to the next column on the left.
3. Place the decimal point in the answer directly below the decimal points in the terms.n


(+) + (+) = +
(-) + (+) = -
(+) + (-) = Absolute Value
(-) + (+) = which ever is greater, keep the sign


Subtracting Decimal .
1. Put the numbers in a vertical column, aligning the decimal points.
2. Subtract each column, starting on the right and working left. If the digit being subtracted in a column is larger than the digit above it, "borrow" a digit from the next column to the left.
3. Place the decimal point in the answer directly below the decimal points in the terms.
4. Check your answer by adding the result to the number subtracted. The sum should equal the first number.


(+) - (-) = +
(-) - (+) = -
(+) -(+) = Absolute Value
(-) - (-) = Absolute value


For example.

89.9 + 43.3 = 133.2
1 1
89.9
+ 43.3
_______
133 .2


46.65 - 16.2 = 30.45

46.65
- 16.20
________
30.45


Multiplying and Dividing Decimal

Here are the rules for multiplying decimal numbers:

1. Multiply the numbers just as if they were whole numbers:
*Line up the numbers on the right--do not align the decimal points.
*Starting on the right, multiply each digit in the top number by each digit in the bottom number, just as with whole numbers.
*Add the products.
2.Place the decimal point in the answer by starting at the right and moving the point the number of places equal to the sum of the decimal places in both numbers multiplied.


(-) x (+) = -
(+) x (-) = -
(+) x (+) = +
(-) x (-) = +

for example

37.7 x 2.8 =

37.7 ( 1 decimal place )
x 2.8 ( 1 decimal place )
________
3016
+ 754
________
105.56 ( 2 decimal places, move point 2 places left )


To divide decimal numbers:

1. If the divisor is not a whole number, move decimal point to right to make it a whole number and move decimal point in dividend the same number of places.
2. Divide as usual. Keep dividing until the answer terminates or repeats.
3. Put decimal point directly above decimal point in the dividend.
4. Check your answer. Multiply quotient by divisor.


-/- = +
+/+ = +
-/+ = -
+/- = -

for example:

16.9 ÷ 6.5 = 2.6

2.6
____
6.5 /169.0
- 130
__________
390
- 390
__________
0


To check our answer, we multiply the quotient by the divisor and make sure it equals the dividend:

2.6
x 6.5
______
130
+ 156
______
16.90

Addend+Addend=Sum
Minuend-Subtrahend=Difference
Factor+Factor=Product
Dividend/Divisor=Quotient


10x1000=10 000 0.1x1000=100
10x100=1 000 0.1x100=10
10x10=100 0.1x10=1
10x1=10 0.1x1=0.1
10x0.1=1 0.1x0.1=0.01
10x0.01=0.1 0.1x0.01=0.001
10x0.001=0.01 0.1x0.001=0.0001
10x0.0001=0.001 0.1x0.0001=0.00001

A good way to multiply hard decimals is:
121 1.21
x13 x1.3
----- ------
363 1.573
1210
-------
1573

A rule for multiplying decimals could be: Add how many decimal places are in each factor to get the decimal place value in the product.

Examples:
1 + 1 = 2
0.2x0.2=0.04
3 + 3 = 6
0.111x0.1111=0.012321
4 + 4 = 8
0.1111x0.1111=0000.01234321

100/10=10 0.001/0.1=0.01
10/10=1 0.01/0.1=0.1
1/10=0.1 0.1/0.1=1
0.1/10=0.01 1/0.1=10
0.01/10=0.001 10/0.1=100
0.001/10=0.0001 100/0.1=1 000

A rule for dividing decimals could be: Subtract how many decimal places are in the dividend and divisor to get the decimal place value in the quotient.

Examples:
2 - 1 = 1
0.02/0.4=0.5
2 - 3 = -1
0.02/0.006=3.33..

The Rules of finding the decimal/fraction between decimals

Rules

1) Imagine as many zeros as you want after the least place value after decimal.

2)Put a digit in the next place value.

3) Change decimal into a fraction...... simplify if possible.

2. Find a common denominator
3. Find a numerator between the two numerators of the step 2 fractions

Example:


















Another way:

1. Convert one or both numbers to a decimal
2. Find a decimal number between the two numbers

Rational Numbers and Reciprocals

In class, we learned about different ways of finding the value of x when dealing with rationals.
There are three ways:

WAY #1:


WAY #2:
WAY #3:


We were asked to find a way to make the following fractions equal:



To do this, you must use cross multiplication.

This means that when you cross multiply, you simply multiply the two numbers that are opposite from each other.

So for the example below, you would multiply 3 and 8, and 6 and 4. This would get you 24 for both.


* A reciprocal is when you multiply a rational to equal 1.
Some examples are:

Today in math class, we learned how to convert centimetres into metres.
You need to multiply the number by 10 000 to get from centimetres in to metres

Brandon's Math Post

Today in class we reviewed on how to find a cylinder with a piece in the middle.



How to find the TSA of this object

TSA
= Large cylinder - small circles + cylinder
= 2πr^2 + 2πrh - 2πr^2 + 2
πrh
= 2π4^2 + 2π4(20 - 2π3^2 + 2π3(20)
= 2
π16 + 2π80 - 2π9 + 2π60
= 32
π + 160π - 18π + 120 π
= 294
πm^2



The height of this triangular prism is 8m, the base is 6m and the length it 10m
Tile it with 10x20cm tiles. How many tiles are there?
So what I did is:

a^2+b^2 =c^2
8^2+3^2 = c^2
64+9 = c^2
73 =c

square root 73 = square root c^2

8.54 = c

SA roof = lw
= (8.54x10)
= (85.4)
= 170.8m^2

Tile = 10 . 20
= 200cm^2

lm^2 = 100cm x 100cm
= (100 cm)^2
= 10 000 cm^2

170.8 x 10 000

1708000 cm^2 / 200 cm^2 = 8540

I will need 8540 tiles.


The third and final figure.


Tiles are 15 x 30 cm, how many tiles are there?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
4^2 + 2.5 = c^2
16 + 2.5 = c^2
22.25 = c^2
square root 22.25 = square root c^2
4.72=c

SA roof = l w
= 4.75 x 8
= 37.76
= 75.52 cm^2

S.A = 9x(s^2) 8(4^2)
= # (face(s^2) 8(16)
= 9(3^2) 128 cm^2
= 9(9)
=81 cm^2

S.A = top + 4 sides
= s^2 + 4 (lxw)
= 2^2+ 4(2) (3)
= 4+4(10)
= 44 cm^2
