ORDER TO OPERATION
Problem: Evaluate the following arithmetic
expression: 3 + 4 2
It seems that each student interpreted the problem differently, resulting in two different
answers. Student 1 performed the operation of addition first, then multiplication;
whereas student 2 performed multiplication first, then addition. When performing
arithmetic operations there can be only one correct answer. We need a set of rules in
order to avoid this kind of confusion. Mathematicians have devised a standard order
of operations for calculations involving more than one arithmetic operation.
Rule 1: First perform any calculations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Next perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Lastly, perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.
The above problem was solved correctly by Student 2 since she followed Rules 2 and
3.
Let's look at some Exercises of solving arithmetic expressions using these rules.

In Exercise 7, each problem involved only 2 operations. Let's look at some Exercises
that involve more than two operations.

In Exercise 8 and 9, you will notice that multiplication and division were evaluated from
left to right according to Rule 2. Similarly, addition and subtraction were evaluated from
left to right, according to Rule 3.
When two or more operations occur inside a set of parentheses, these operations
should be evaluated according to Rules 2 and 3.
Exercise 10. Evaluate 150 (6 + 3 8) 5 using the order of operations.
Solution: Step 1: = Multiplication inside Parentheses
Step 2: = Addition inside Parentheses
Step 3: = Division
Step 4: = Subtraction
Exercise 11. Write an arithmetic expression for this problem. Then evaluate the
expression using the order of operations.
Mr. Smith charged Jill 32 for parts and 15 per hour for labour to repair her bicycle. If
he spent 3 hours repairing her bike, how much does Jill owe him?
Solution:
Jill owes Mr. Smith:
Summary: When evaluating arithmetic expressions, the order of operations is:
- Simplify all operations inside parentheses.
- Perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
- Perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.

DIVISION
- Multiplication:
In multiplication two numbers are given and we find their product as:
5 15 = ?
5 15 = 75
DEPARTAMENTO MATEMTICAS
9
- Division:
We can rewrite the above multiplication as a division problem as:
What number times 15 equals 75?
? 15 = 75
This is a division problem.
- Division is also called the inverse of multiplication. To find the
answer we have to divide as:
? = 75 15
Here we have to divide 75 into groups of 15
75 15 = 5 75 divided by 15 equals 5
- Else we could subtract 15 from 75 five times.
- Multiplication is repeated addition and division is repeated subtraction.
- 15 is called the divisor.
- 75 is called the dividend. It is the number being divided.
- 4 is called the quotient.
In a division problem:
1. The number that is divided is called the dividend.
2. The number that divides the dividend is called divisor.
3. The number of times the dividend is divisible by the divisor is called the quotient.
4. If the dividend is completely not divisible by the divisor it leaves behind a
remainder.
Exercise 18. How do you check if the division is right?
Dividend = Quotient Divisor + Remainder
Here the remainder is 0.

ROUNDING NUMBERS
- Rounding makes numbers that are easier to work with in your head.
- Rounded numbers are only approximate.
- An exact answer generally can not be obtained using rounded numbers.
- Use rounding to get an answer that is close but that does not have to be exact.
How to round numbers
1.Make the numbers that end in 1 through 4 into the next lower number that ends in 0.
2.Numbers that end in a digit of 5 or more should be rounded up to the next even ten.
For example 74 rounded to the nearest ten would be 70.
The number 88 rounded to the nearest ten would be 90.
Exercise 19. Fill in the gaps.
424 rounded to the nearest hundred is ..........
988 rounded to the nearest hundred is ..........
6424 rounded to the nearest thousand is . .........
8788 rounded to the nearest thousand is ...........
DECIMALS ORDER
We use a decimal point to separate units from parts of a whole (tenths, hundredths,
thousandths etc).
- A tenth is
1
/
10
of a unit
- A hundredth is
1
/
100
of a unit
- A thousandth is
1
/
1000
of a unit
In the number 34,27, the value of the figure 2 is a tenth, and the value of the figure 7 is
a hundredth.
Ordering decimals
Hundreds are greater than tens, tens are greater than units, units are greater than
tenths, and tenths are greater than hundredths!
DEPARTAMENTO MATEMTICAS
12
When ordering numbers, we should always compare the digits on the left first.
For example, which is greater: 2,701 or 2,71?
Units Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
2 7 0 1
2 7 1 0
Both numbers have two units and seven tenths, but 2.701 has no hundredths, whereas
2.71 has one hundredth. Therefore, 2.71 is greater than 2.701.
Another way to look at it is to add a zero to the end of 2.71 (this does not change its
value, because it is after the decimal point!).
The two numbers are now 2.710 and 2.701. It is quite easy to see that 2.710 is bigger
(just as 2710 is bigger than 2701).
Exercise 20. Write decimal numbers:
a) Describe the number 0,2 in words.
b) Describe the number 2,48 in words.
c) Describe the numbers 0.345 in words.
d) Describe the numbers 1,8 in words.
e) Describe the numbers 2,005 in words.
ADDING AND SUBTRACTING DECIMALS
Adding and subtracting decimals is easy. Simply add or subtract as normal, but make
sure that you keep the decimal points aligned.
Exercise 21. Solve
a) Four and twenty seven hundredths plus two and three tenths.
b) Fifty two and seven hundredths minus twenty seven and three tenths.
c) Twenty times one hundred.
d) Eight times two hundred and twenty four.

MULTIPLYING AND DIVIDING DECIMALS
Multiplying and dividing by 10, 100, 1000 .You need to learn the following rules:
Action Rule Example
Multiply by 10 Move the decimal point one place to the right 2.45 10 = 24.5
Multiply by 100 Move the decimal point two places to the right 2.45 100 = 245
Multiply by 1000 Move the decimal point three places to the right 2.45 1000= 2450
Divide by 10 Move the decimal point one place to the left 46.7 10 = 4.67
Divide by 100 Move the decimal point two places to the left 46.7 100 = 0.467
Divide by 1000 Move the decimal point three places to the left 46.7 1000=0.0467

RECOGNISING NEGATIVE NUMBERS
You have to be able to use negative (or directed) numbers in many everyday contexts,
for example with temperatures, bank balances etc.
A temperature of 6 degrees below zero is 6.
If your bank account is 100 overdrawn, then your balance is 100 .
In your exam, you might be asked to put some numbers in order. You have to
remember, for instance, that 10 is less than 5.
Sometimes it helps to see negative numbers on a number line.

ADDING POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE INTEGERS.
If one of the integers is negative, subtract the absolute value of it from the other
number.
Example: 14 + ( 6) = 14 6 = 8
If both of the integers are negative, add their absolute values and prefix the number
with a negative sign.
SUBTRACTING NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE INTEGERS.
To subtract integers, change the sign on the integer that is to be subtracted.
- If both signs are positive, the answer will be positive.
Example: 14 (6) = 14 + 6 = 20
- If both signs are negative, the answer will be negative.
Example: 14 (+6) = 14 6 = 20
- If the signs are different subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger
absolute value. The sign will be the sign of the integer that produced the larger
absolute value.
Example: 14 (+6) = 14 6 = 8
Example: 14 (6) = 14 + 6 = 8
MULTIPLICATION OF TWO AND THREE INTEGERS
Multiplication of Integers is similar to multiplication of whole numbers (both positive)
except the sign of the product needs to be determined.
If both factors are positive, the product will be positive.
If both factors are negative, the product will be positive.
If only one of the factors is negative, the product will be negative.
In other words, if the signs are the same the product will be positive, if they are
different, the product will be negative.
DEPARTAMENTO MATEMTICAS
23
DIVISION OF NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE INTEGERS
Division of Integers is similar to division of whole numbers (both positive) except the
sign of the quotient needs to be determined.
If both the dividend and divisor are positive, the quotient will be positive.
If both the dividend and divisor are negative, the quotient will be positive.
If only one of the dividend or divisor is negative, the quotient will be negative.
In other words, if the signs are the same the quotient will be positive, if they are
different, the quotient will be negative.

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
For very large numbers, it is sometimes simpler to use "scientific notation" (so called,
because scientists often deal with very large numbers).
The format for writing a number in scientific notation is fairly simple:
First digit of the number followed by the decimal point and then all the rest of the
digits of the number, times (10 to an appropriate power). The conversion is fairly
simple.
Example: Write 12400 in scientific notation
This is not a very large number, but it will work nicely for an example. To convert this to
scientific notation, I first write "1.24". This is not the same number, but (1.24)(10000) =
12400 is, and 10000 = 10
4
. Then, in scientific notation, 124 is written as 1.24 10
2
.

Let's look at some tests for divisibility and examples of each.
Divisibility Tests Example
A number is divisible by 2 if the last digit is
0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.
168 is divisible by 2 since the last
digit is 8.
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the
digits is divisible by 3.
168 is divisible by 3 since the sum
of the digits is 15 (1+6+8=15), and
15 is divisible by 3.
A number is divisible by 5 if the last digit is
either 0 or 5.
195 is divisible by 5 since the last
digit is 5.
A number is divisible by 10 if the last digit is
0.
1,470 is divisible by 10 since the
last digit is 0.
Example 1: Determine whether 150 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, and 10.
150 is divisible by 2 since the last digit is 0.
150 is divisible by 3 since the sum of the digits is 6 (1+5+0 = 6), and 6 is divisible by 3.
150 is divisible by 5 since the last digit is 0.
150 is divisible by 10 since the last digit is 0.
Solution: 150 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, and 10.
Example 2: Determine whether 2047 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, and 10.
2047 is not divisible by 2 because the last digit is not 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.
2047 is not divisible by 3 because the sum of the digits is 13, and 13 is not divisible by
3.
2047 is not divisible by 5 because the last digit is not 0 nor 5.
2047 is not divisible by 10 because the last digit is not 0.
Solution: 2047 is not divisible by 2, 3, 5, nor 10.
Exercise 10. Determine whether 225 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, and 10 (complete this
exercise in the same manner as example 1 and 2 ).

LCM (LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE) AND GCF (GREATEST COMMON
FACTOR)
To find either the Least Common Multiple (LCM) or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of
two numbers, you always start out the same way: you find the prime factorizations of
the two numbers. Then you put the factors into a nice neat grid of rows and columns,
and compare and contrast and take what you need.
Example: Find the GCF and LCM of 2940 and 3150.
First, I need to factor each value:
My prime factorizations are:
2940 = 2 2 3 5 7 7
3150 = 2 3 3 5 5 7
I will write these factors out, all nice and neat, with the factors lined up according to
occurrence.
This orderly listing, with each factor having its own column, will do most of the work for
me.
The Greatest Common Factor, the GCF (MCD), is the biggest number that will divide
into (is a factor of) both 2940 and 3150. In other words, it's the number that contains all
the factors common to both numbers. In this case, the GCF is the product of all the
factors that 2940 and 3150 have in common.
DEPARTAMENTO MATEMTICAS
48
Looking at the nice neat listing, I can see that the numbers both have a factor of 2;
2940 has a second copy of the factor 2, but 3150 does not, so I can only count the one
copy toward my GCF. The numbers also share one copy of 3, one copy of 5, and one
copy of 7.
2940 2 2 3 5 7 7
3150 2 3 3 5 5 7
GCF 2 3 5 7
Then the GCF is 2 3 5 7 = 210
On the other hand, the Least Common Multiple (mcm), the LCM, it is the smallest
number that contains both 2940 and 3150 as factors, the smallest number that is a
multiple of both these values. Then it will be the smallest number that contains one of
every factor in these two numbers.
2940 2 2 3 5 7 7
3150 2 3 3 5 5 7
LCM 2 2 3 3 5 5 7 7
Then the LCM is 2 2 3 3 5 5 7 7 = 44,100
By using this "factor" method of listing the prime factors neatly in a table, you can
always easily find the LCM and GCF. Completely factor the numbers you are given, list
the factors neatly with only one factor for each column (you can have 2s columns, 3s
columns, etc, but a 3 would never go in a 2s column), and then carry the needed
factors down to the bottom row.
For the GCF, you carry down only those factors that all the listings share; for the LCM,
you carry down all the factors, regardless of how many or few values contained that
factor in their listings.

a) 10 and 15 b) 8 and 24 c) 225 and 90 d) 60 and 135 e) 135 and 90

WHAT IS A COMMON FRACTION?
Well, there is a special collection of numbers called fractions, which are usually
denoted by
b
a
, where "a" and "b" are integers numbers and "b" is not equal to 0".
Numerator
Denominator
There are two distinct meanings of fractions: partwhole and quotient.
THE PARTWHOLE: The partwhole explanation of a fraction is where a number like
1/5 indicates that a whole has been separated into five equal parts and one of those
parts are being considered.
This table is a great help to get a feel of how a fractional part compares to the
whole
The Whole
1/2 1/2
1/3 1/3 1/3
1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4
1/5 1/5 1/5 1/5 1/5
1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6
1/7 1/7 1/7 1/7 1/7 1/7 1/7
1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8
The Division Symbol ("/" or "
__
") used in a fraction tells you that everything above the
division symbol is the numerator and must be treated as if it were one number, and
everything below the division symbol is the denominator and also must be treated as
if it were one number.
DEPARTAMENTO MATEMTICAS
56
Basically, the numerator tells you how many parts we are talking about and the
denominator tell you how many parts the whole is divided into. So a fraction like 6/7
tells you that we are looking at six (6) parts of a whole that is divided into seven (7)
equal parts.
A QUOTIENT: The fraction
3
2
may be considered as a quotient, 2 3. This
explanation also arises from a dividing up situation.
Division by Zero: The denominator of a fraction cannot have the value zero. If the
denominator of a fraction is zero, this is not a legal fraction because it's overall value
is undefined.
Zero in the Numerator: The numerator of a fraction can have a value of zero. Any
legal fraction (denominator not equal to zero) with a numerator equal to zero has an
overall value of "zero."
Any Integer Can Be Written as a Fraction: You can express any integer as a fraction
by simply dividing by 1, or you can express any integer as a fraction by simply
choosing a numerator and denominator so that the overall value is equal to the integer.
Exercise 1. Write two examples of any Integer which Can Be Written as a Fraction.
Exercise 2. The number we write as 1 over 2 :
2
1
is ".........................................." .
The number we write as 2 over 3 :
3
2
is called ...................................
The number we write as 3 over 4 :

is called ..................................."
Exercise 3. Copy and fill in the gaps

This number 1/4 is called "onequarter" or "onefourth," because the numerator
is one quarter of the denominator and 1/4 itself is one quarter of 1.

When the denominator is a power of 10, however, we always say the decimal name.

WHAT ARE EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS?
Equivalent fractions are simply equal fractions. They have the same value. They are at
the same place on the number line.
The following is called the principle of equivalent fractions:
If we multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same
number, we will obtain an equivalent fraction.

WHAT IS MAGNITUDE? UNIT VI
A property that can be described by a real number, such as the volume of a sphere or
the length of a vector.
WHAT IS RATIO?
Ratio is a way of comparing amounts of something. It shows how much bigger one
thing is than another.
For example:
- Use 1 measure screen wash to 10 measures water.
- Use 1 shovel of cement to 3 shovels of sand.
- Use 3 parts blue paint to 1 part white.
Ratio is the number of parts to a mix. The paint mix is 4 parts, with 3 parts blue and 1
part white.
The order in which a ratio is stated is important. For example, the ratio of screenwash
to water is 1:10. This means for every 1 measure of screenwash there are 10
measures of water.
Mixing paint in the ratio 3:1 (3 parts blue paint to 1 part white paint) means 3 + 1 = 4
parts in all.
3 parts blue paint to 1 part white paint = is blue paint to white paint.
If the mix is in the right proportions, we can say that it is in the correct ratio.
DEPARTAMENTO MATEMTICAS
73
Exercise 1. Have a go at writing these ratios as fractions:
1. Use 1 shovel of cement to 3 shovels of sand.
2. Use 1 part screenwash to 9 parts water.
3. Make 2 cups tea to 1 cup coffee.
UNDERSTANDING DIRECT PROPORTION
Two quantities are in direct proportion when they increase or decrease in the same
ratio.
For example you could increase something by doubling it or decrease it by halving.
If we look at the example of mixing paint the ratio is 3 pots blue to 1 pot white, or 3:1.
But this amount of paint will only decorate two walls of a room. What if you wanted to
decorate the whole room, four walls? You have to double the amount of paint and
increase it in the same ratio.
If we double the amount of blue paint we need 6 pots.
If we double the amount of white paint we need 2 pots.
The amount of blue and white paint we need increase in direct proportion to each
other. Look at the table to see how as you use more blue paint you need more white
paint:
Pots of blue paint 3 9 12
Pots of white paint 1 2

WHAT DOES % MEAN?
You probably already know a bit about percentages. Shops use percentages in sales.
Banks use them for loan rates. Weather forecasts use them to tell us the chances of
rain.
But what does percentage mean?
per cent means out of 100
Look at this square:
It has been divided into 100 equal parts. 50 parts are shaded blue.
We say that fifty per cent of the square is shaded blue.
You can write this using a percentage symbol as 50%
Now 20 parts have been coloured green. 20
out of the 100 is 20%, so 20% of the square is
green
There are 30 parts not shaded. 30 out of 100 is
30%, so 30% of the square is white.
What happens if you add up the percentages for the blue, green and white parts?
50% + 20% + 30% = 100%
So the whole square is equal 100%
DEPARTAMENTO MATEMTICAS
77
100% is '100 out of 100'. It means full marks in a test, or 100% fitness means full
fitness. If you give 100% you give everything.

GEOMETRY UNIT VIII
LINES
A twodimensional object that has no endpoints and continues on forever in a plane;
formed of infinite points.
A line is a collection of points along a straight path that goes on and on in opposite
directions. A line has no endpoints.
Example: The following is a diagram of two lines: line AB and line HG.
The arrows signify that the lines drawn extend indefinitely in each direction.
POINTS
Points are dimensionless. That is, a point has no width, length, or height.
We identify this point with a number or letter.
Example: The following is a diagram of points A, B, C, and Q:
A
B
G
H
C
A

Q
DEPARTAMENTO MATEMTICAS
107
INTERSECTION
The term intersect is used when lines, rays, line segments or figures meet, that is, they
share a common point. The point they share is called the point of intersection. We say
that these figures intersect.
Example: In the diagram below, line AB and line GH intersect at point D:
LINE SEGMENTS
A line segment is a part of a line having two endpoints.
We write the name of a line segment with endpoints A and B as "line segment AB" or
as AB. Note how there are no arrow heads on the line over AB such as when we
denote a line or a ray.
Example: The following is a diagram of two line segments: line segment CD and line
segment PN, or simply segment CD and segment PN.
RAYS
A ray is a part of a line with one endpoint and goes on and on in one direction. We
write the name of a ray with endpoint A and passing through a point B as "ray AB" or
as .
Example: The following is a diagram of two rays: ray HG and ray AB.

ENDPOINTS
An endpoint is a point used to define a line segment or ray. A line segment has two
endpoints; a ray has one.
Example: The endpoints of line segment DC below are points D and C, and the
endpoint of ray MN is point M below:
PARALLEL LINES
Two lines in the same plane which never intersect are called parallel lines. We say that
two line segments are parallel if the lines that they lie on are parallel. If line r is parallel
to line s, we write this as line r || line s.
When two line segments DC and AB lie on parallel lines, we write this as segment DC
|| segment AB.

PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR
The line perpendicular to a segment passing through the segment's midpoint.
WHAT IS AN ANGLE?
Two rays that share the same endpoint form an angle. The point where the rays
intersect is called the vertex of the angle. The two rays are called the sides of the
angle. An angle is also the space between the sides.
There are 360 in a complete turn. So in half a turn there are 180, and in a quarter of a
turn 90.
We sometimes call a quarter of a turn a right angle, and mark it with a square.
PERPENDICULAR LINES
Perpendicular are lines that intersect at right angles.
In the figure shown below, the lines AB and EF are perpendicular to each other.

ANGLE BISECTOR
Angle Bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal parts.
In the example shown, OA is the angle bisector. It divides 60 into two equal parts (i.e.
two 30's).
Exercise 1. Find angle a in this diagram:
Exercise 2. Find angle b in this diagram
Exercise 3. Find angle c in this diagram
DEPARTAMENTO MATEMTICAS
111
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANGLE
Any angle that is less than 90 is called an acute
angle.
Any angle which is between 90 and 180 is called an
obtuse angle.
Any angle that is between 180 and 360 is called
a reflex angle.
You also need to remember that the angles in a triangle add up to 180, and that the
angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360.
p + q + r = 180 w + x + y + z = 360
PROTRACTOR
A protractor is a device for measuring the angle between two intersecting lines

POLYGON
A polygon is a closed figure made by joining line segments, where each line segment
intersects exactly two others.
The following are examples of polygons:
The figure below is not a polygon, since it is not a closed figure:
The figure below is not a polygon, since it is not made of line segments:
The figure below is not a polygon, since its sides do not intersect in exactly two
places each:
REGULAR POLYGON
A regular polygon is a polygon whose sides are all the same length, and whose angles
are all the same. The sum of the angles of a polygon with n sides, where n is 3 or
more, is 180 (n 2) degrees.
The following are examples of regular polygons:

Acute Triangle: A triangle having three acute angles.
Obtuse Triangle: A triangle having an obtuse angle. One of the angles of the triangle
measures more than 90 degrees.
Right Triangle: A triangle having a right angle. One of the angles of the triangle
measures 90 degrees. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse. The
two sides that form the right angle are called the legs. A right triangle has the special
property that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs equals the square of the
length of the hypotenuse. This is known as the Pythagorean Theorem.

Exercise 5. A rectangle has a length of 8 centimeters and a width of 3 centimeters.
Find the perimeter.
In Exercise 5, in mathematics, we commonly use the following formula for perimeter of
a rectangle P= 2 L +2 W , where P is the perimeter, L is the length and W is the
width.
Exercise 6. Find the perimeter of a square with each side measuring 2 inches.
Exercise 7. Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with each side measuring 4
centimeters.
A square and an equilateral triangle are both examples of regular polygons. Another
method for finding the perimeter of a regular polygon is to multiply the number of sides
by the length of one side.
Exercise 8. Find the perimeter of a regular pentagon with each side measuring 3
inches.
Exercise 9. The perimeter of a regular hexagon is 18 centimeters. How
long is one side?
Summary: To find the perimeter of a polygon, take the sum of the length of each side.
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is: P= 2 L +2 W. To find the perimeter of a
regular polygon, multiply the number of sides by the length of one side

AREA
Area is always a positive number. It represents the number of square units needed to
cover a shape, such as a polygon or a circle. We generally use formulas to calculate
areas.
Exercise 10. Find the area of a parallelogram with a base of 12
centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters.
Exercise 11. Find the area of a parallelogram with a base of 7 inches and a height of
10 inches.
Exercise 12. The area of a parallelogram is 24 square centimeters and the base is 4
centimeters. Find the height.
Summary: Given the base and height of a parallelogram, we can find the area. Given
the area of a parallelogram and either the base or the height, we can find the missing
dimension. The formula for area of a parallelogram is:
A= b h where b is the base, h is the height, and means
multiply.

Area of a Trapezoid: To find the area of a
trapezoid, we can draw a diagonal so the
trapezoid is divided into two triangles.
You can see that the area of the trapezoid DEFG is equal to the sum of the area of the
two triangles EFG and DEG.
Area of triangle EFG = bh = (base1) h
Area of triangle DEG = bh = (base2) h
Area of the trapezoid DEFG = (base1) h + (base2) h. Since the height of triangle
