9. Solving common fraction equations Whole number equations: Express to the nearest tenth 20 X10,000X1200 X4000 = 160,00040600 Calculator 20 x 10,000 x 1200 x 4000 ÷ 1 ÷ 60,000 ÷40 ÷ 600 =

10. Your Turn: Express to the nearest tenth 1. 3 / 7 x 11 / 2 = 2. 3 / 7 x 500 / 60 x 1000 / 200 = 3. 2000 / 2700 x 1100 / 900 x 60 / 90 =

11. Your Turn: Express to the nearest tenth 1. 3 / 7 x 11 / 2 = 1. 2.1428  2.1 2. 3 / 7 x 500 / 60 x 1000 / 200 = 1. 17.857  17.9 3. 2000 / 2700 x 1100 / 900 x 60 / 90 = 1. 0.77  0.8

12. Decimal Fraction Equations Extreme care must be taken with calculator entry of decimal numbers, to include the decimal point, and entries and answers must always be double checked.

13. Example Solve the equation to the nearest hundredth 0.3x2.5 1.751 Eliminate the decimal point, eliminate zeros & reduce 30X25=3x1=3 17510717 Divide 3 ÷ 7 = 0.428  0.43

14. Example Solve the equation to the nearest hundredth 0.3x2.5 1.751 Calculator 0.3 x 2.5 ÷ 1.75 ÷ 1 = 0.428  0.43

15. Your Turn Solve the equations. Express your answer to the nearest tenth and hundredth. A calculator may be used for the final division. 1. 2.1 / 4.08x0.7 / 5.6 2. 0.4 / 1.2 x4 / 2.1 3. 1.75 / 0.85x2.5 / 4

16. Your Turn Solve the equations. Express your answer to the nearest tenth and hundredth. A calculator may be used for the final division. 1. 2.1 / 4.08x0.7 / 5.6 tenth = 0.1hundredth = 0.06 2. 0.4 / 1.2 x4 / 2.1 tenth = 0.6hundredth = 0.63 3. 1.75 / 0.85x2.5 / 4 tenth = 1.3hundredth = 1.29 More problems page 28

17. Multiple number equations Eliminate the decimals, eliminate zero’s, reduce then solve (don’t panic!) 60X1000x1x6= 1410001 Calculator 60 x 1000 x 1 x 6 ÷ 1 ÷ 4 ÷ 1000 ÷ 1 = 90

18. Whole numbers into fractions A whole number can be made into a fraction by simply placing it over one (1) Example 13  13 1 5.1  5.1 1

19. Mixed equations Example 30X90x6= 1045 Is the same as 30X90x6= 10451
