Chapter 4: Place Value


103=1000
102=100
101=10
100 = 1
1
10-1= =0.1
10
1
10-2= =0.01
100
1
10-3= =0.001
1000
1. Dividing by negative exponents is the same as multiplying by the positive of the same
exponent
2. Multiplying by negative exponents is the same as dividing by the positive of the same
exponent
3. Multiplying by decimals less than one is equal to dividing by the decimals place inverted
(like if its in the hundreths place it would be in the hundreds place)
4. Dividing by decimals less than one is equal to multiplying by the decimal’s place inverted
Standard Form/ Scientific Notation:
Number between 1 and 10 ×10 to an integer power
For example: 8000 = 8 x 1000 = 8 x 103
Lower and Upper bounds/Rounding
1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 4.9 rounds to 1 so 1 ≤n< 4.9 rounds to 1 while 5 ≤ n < 10 rounds to 10
To get a value towards any significant figure such as 1 s.f., we will take 1, and half it, you get 0.5
so you add 0.5 to and integer and than you subtract 0.5 to an integer.
Chapter 14: Decimals and Percentages
Estimation:
Rounding to certain significant figures to find the wherabouts of the answer to the question can
help with accuracy.
2.95 = 3
11.67=12
11.67/2.95 ≈ 12/3 ≈ 4
Multiplying and Dividing decimals
1. Multiplying with numbers greater than 1 is always greater than the factors
2. Multiplying with numbers between 0 and 1 is always less than at least one of the factors
3. Dividing with numbers greater than 1 is always less than the dividend (number being
divided) and divisor.
4. Dividing with numbers lesst than 1 is always more than at least one of the number

PRT
Simple interest: I =
100
P = principal
R = Rate
T = Time
Compound interest: Multiplier = (Increase: 100% + percent) or (Decrease: 100% - percent)
Princpal x multipliernumber of years

Chapter 11:
Dividing Ratio
total amount
=amount per part
∑ of all parts
amount per part × parts of first ratioamount per part × parts of second ratio
amount per part × parts of third ratio
And so on
Notes:
If it is time, hours are better divided into minutes: 1 hours = 60 minutes
How to solve when total is not given (example):
Students at a school were asked to vote for a trip to the musuem or a trip to the zoo. There was a
ratio of 10:3 in favor of going to the zoo. 130 children voted for going to the zoo. How many
voted for going to the museum?

10 parts voted for the zoo .This was 130 Children .130 ÷ 10=13So each part is worth 13
3 parts voted for the museum .13 ×3=39

39 children voted for going to the museum.


Or:
10 3
= cross multiply10 x=390divide by 10 ¿ get x by itself x=39
130 x

How to find ratio if only the difference between the ratio is given:
Guntur and Eva share an amount of money in the ratio 8:5
Guntur get $21 more than Eva
How much do they get each
Guntur gets 3 more parts than Eva because 8-5=3.
These 3 parts are worth $21
1 part is worth $21÷3 = $7
So guntur gets 8 × $ 7=$ 56
And Eva gets 5 × $ 7=$ 35

Direct proportion:
Notes:
Plotting two quantities that are directly proprotional on a graph will give a straight line passing
through the origin.
On a graph the gradient can be the multiplier
When one quantity increases and the other quantity increases at the same time is known as direct
proportion.

Example:
A river that is 3.2cm long on a map is 14.14 km long in real life. The same map shows a road that
is 10.8km long in real life. What is the length of the road on the map?
3.2 10.8
= Cross multiply3.2 x=25.92divide by 3.2x=8.64
14.4 x

Inverse Proportion: Product of two variable is always the same:


Example:
It takes 8 machienes 6 minutes to complete a job. How long will it take 12 machines?

8 ×6=12 x48=12 xDivide by 124=x

It will take 4 minutes for 12 machines to do the job


Chapter 8:
Linear Equations:
Balance method: what happens on one side happens on the other of the equal sign.
Solving Unknow denominator:
Example:
15
3= Multiply both sides with x +23 ( x+ 2 )=15Expand the brackets3 x+ 6=15
x +2
Subtract 6 on both sides3 x=9divide by 3x=3

Inequalities:
NOTE: IF YOU MULTIPLY OR DIVIDE AN INEQUALITY BY A NEGATIVE NUMBER
YOU REVERSE THE INEQUALITY SIGN.
Example of a solution:

7 x +4 <2 x+19Subtract 47 x <2 x +15Subtract 2 x5 x< 15Divide by 5x <3
