~ Monday ~
Remember to read the questions properly tomorrow !!
1) Give the answer in the nearest 2 decimal place
2) Give the answer in the nearest 1 decimal place
3) Give the answer in the nearest whole number
4) Round off your answer to the nearest tenth
5) Round off your answer to the nearest hundredth
6) Give your answer as a mixed number.
7) Express your answer in its simplest form/lowest term
Things to take note of:
1) Addition and subtraction of fraction (Denominator must be the same first!)
2) Addition and subtraction of decimals (Align the decimal point and all the place values properly!)
3) Fill in all the ZEROS in the empty spaces after aligning the decimal point and place values!
4) Long Division of decimals (Put a decimal point after the whole number, add 2 more zeros and continue the long division!)
* Bring your Science CA2 Revision Worksheet + Energy Revision Book tomorrow!!

Question 45
a) Step 1: Find how many "3m" are there in 756m.
Take total 756m divided by "3m" ----> 756m divided by 3m = 252
There is a total of 252 young trees.
In a circle, the number of spaces between 2 trees is equal to the number of trees.
b) 1 tree ---> $14
252 trees ---> $14 x 252 = $3528
It costs $3528 to plant all the trees.

Question 44
Step 1: Draw model.
1 Dining Table ---> 4 units
1 Chair ---> 1 unit
Step 2: Find total
1 Dining Table + 4 Chairs = 4 units + 4 units = 8 units
Step 3: Find 1 unit (1 chair)
8 units ---> $1276
1 unit ---> $1276 divided by 8 = $159.50
One chair costs $159.50.
b) 1 dining table + 6 chairs = 4 units + 6 units = 10 units
If 1 unit ----> $159.50
10 units ----> $159.50 x 10 = $1595
Collin paid $1595.

Step 1: Draw models
Step 2: Look at the models and you can see that there are 4 equal units, with the extra 2 5/6 , 2 5/6 , 1 3/4.
Step 3: To find the 1 unit, we must take the total and minus away 2 5/6 , 2 5/6 , 1 3/4.
19 5/12 - 2 5/6 - 2 5/6 - 1 3/4 = 12
Step 4:
So, 4 units ----> 12 kg
1 unit ----> 12kg divided by 4 = 3kg
Step 5:
Compare Mr Sim's model to Mrs Poh's,
Add up all the extra models
3 + 2 5/6 + 1 3/4 = 7 7/12 kg
Mrs Sim bought 7 7/12 kg more flour than Mr Poh.

Step 1: Draw models
It is printed that Benjamin is 1.4m tall.
Step 2: If you know Benjamin is 1.4m tall, you can find Kathy (0.18m shorter)
So, Kathy ----> 1.4m - 0.18m = 1.22m
Step 3: If you know Benjamin is 1.4m tall, you can also find Betty (0.3m taller)
So, Betty ----> 1.4m + 0.3m = 1.7m
Step 4: You can find the total height of Betty and Kathy now.
Total ----> Kathy + Betty
= 1.22m + 1.7m
= 2.92m
Question 42
Step 1: Draw models
You know that Mr Yeo has $6000. He gave his wife $2280.
Step 2: You can find how much he is left after giving his wife
Mr Yeo left ----> $6000 - $2280 = $3720
You know that he gave 5/8 of this remaining $3720 to his 3 children.
Step 3: Find 5/8 of this remaining $3720.
$3720 is cut into 8 units, so
1 unit ----> $3720 divide by 8 = $465
You know 1 unit is $465 now, so you can find 5/8 which is 5 units.
5units-----> $465 x 5 = $2325
Step 4:He gave 5/8 to his 3 children, means he gave $2325 to his 3 children.
So, 3 children ----> $2325
1 child ----> $2324 divided by 3 = $775
