1. Decimals and standard form top
(i) 2.5 × 1.36 Move the decimal points to the right until each is a whole
number, noting the total number of moves, perform the multiplication, then
move the decimal point back by the previous total:
→ 25 × 136 = 3400 , so the answer is 3.4
{Note in the previous example, that transferring a factor of 2, or even better,
4, from the 136 to the 25 makes it easier:
25 × 136 = 25 × (4 × 34) = (25 × 4) × 34 = 100 × 34 = 3400 }
(ii) 0.00175 ÷ 0.042 Move both decimal points together to the right until the
divisor is a whole number, perform the calculation, and that is the answer.
→ 1.75 ÷ 42 , but simplify the calculation by cancelling down any factors first.
In this case, both numbers share a 7, so divide this out: → 0.25 ÷ 6 , and
0.0416
6 0.25 , so the answer is 0.0416
(iii) Convert the following to standard form: (a) 25 000 (b) 0.0000123
Move the decimal point until you have a number x where 1 ≤ x < 10 , and the
number of places you moved the point will indicate the numerical value of the
power of 10. So 25000 = 2.5 × 104 , and 0.0000123 = 1.23 × 10−5
(iv) multiplying in standard form: (4.4 × 105 ) × ( 3.5 × 106 ) As all the
elements are multiplied, rearrange them thus:
= (4.4 × 3.5) × (105 × 106 ) = 15.4 × 1011 = 1.54 × 1012
2
3.2 × 1012
(v) dividing in standard form: Again, rearrange the calculation to
2.5 × 103
(3.2 ÷ 2.5) × (1012 ÷ 103 ) = 1.28 × 10 9

2. Accuracy and Error top
To see how error can accumulate when using rounded values in a calculation,
take the worst case each way: e.g. this rectangular space is
measured as 5m by 3m, each measurement being to the nearest 3m
metre. What is the area of the rectangle? 5m
To find how small the area could be, consider the lower bounds of the two
measurements: the length could be as low as 4.5m and the width as low as
2.5m. So the smallest possible area is 4.5 × 2.5 = 11.25 m2. Now, the length
could be anything up to 5.5m but not including the value 5.5m itself (which
would be rounded up to 6m) So the best way to deal with this is to use the
(unattainable) upper bounds and get a ceiling for the area as
5.5 × 3.5 = 19.25 m2, which the area could get infinitely close to, but not equal
to. Then these two facts can be expressed as 11.25m2 ≤ area < 19.25m2.
Questions
(b) A runner runs 100m, measured to the nearest metre, in 12s, measured to
the nearest second. What is the speed of the runner?
(c) a = 3.0, b = 2.5 , both measured to 2 s.f. What are the possible value of
a−b ?
Answers
distance
(b) Since speed = , for the lower bound we need to take the smallest
time
value of distance with the biggest value of time, and vice-versa for the upper
bound.
99.5 100.5
So < speed < , i.e. 7.96ms-1 < speed < 8.739…ms-1
12.5 11.5
(c) for the smallest value of a − b , we need to take the smallest value of a
together with the biggest value of b, etc.
So 2.95 − 2.55 < a − b < 3.05 − 2.45 , i.e. 0.4 < a − b < 0.6

4. Ratio and Proportion
e.g. If 8 workers can together do a job in 6 days, how long would the same job take
with 12 workers?
ans: it will take less time, so we multiply by the ratio 128 . So it takes
6 × 128 = 4 days.
(b) Proportion

Questions.
(a) Water needs to be removed from an underground chamber before work can
commence. When the water was at a depth of 3m, five suction pipes were used and
emptied the chamber in 4 hours. If the water is now at a depth of 5m (same cross-
section), and you want to empty the chamber in 10 hours time, how many pipes need
to be used?
(c) The time t seconds taken for an object to travel a certain distance from rest is
inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration a. When a is 4m/s2, t is
2s.
What is the value of a if the time taken is 5 seconds?
Answers
5 4
(a) No. of pipes = 5 × × = 3 13 , so it would be necessary to use 4 pipes to be sure
3 10
of emptying within 10 hours.
y ∝ x2
(b) and we know when x is 5, y is 6, so
y = kx 2
6 = k × 52 , so k = 6
25 , and we can write the relationship as
y= 6
25 x2 .
(i) When x is 25, y = 6
25 × 252 = 150 .
(ii) When y is 8.64, 8.64 = 256 x 2 , so
25 × 8.64
x2 = no, don’t reach for the calculator yet!

x 2 = 25 × 1.44 , so x = 5 ×1.2 = 6 .

(a) Fractions

(i) Adding/subtracting: e.g. 3 − 1 . Convert to vulgar form first: − ,
6 3 6 3
then find the lowest common denominator, in this case 6. Then
19 5 19 − 2 × 5 9 1
− = = = 1 .

(ii) Multiplying/dividing: e.g. 5 × . Convert to vulgar form: × , and

denominator if possible, before multiplying together:

To divide, turn the ÷ into a × and invert the second fraction.

(iii) Converting to and from decimals: e.g. what is as a decimal?
40
0.075
3
40 3.000 so is 0.075.

75 3
But what is 0.075 as a fraction? 0.075 means , then cancel down to .
1000 40
(b) Ratios
(iv) To divide a quantity into 3 parts in the ratio 3: 4:5, call the divisions 3
parts, 4 parts and 5 parts. There are 12 parts altogether, so find 1 part, and
hence the 3 portions.
(v) To find the ratio of several quantities, express in the same units then cancel
or multiply up until in lowest terms e.g. what is the ratio of 3.0m to 2.25m to
75cm?
Perhaps metres is the best unit to use here, so the ratio is 3 :2.25: 0.75.
Multiplying up by 4 (or 100 if you really insist) will render all numbers
integer. So the ratio is 12 : 9 : 3, and we can now cancel down to 4:3:1

6. Percentages top
(iii) Increase £20 by 12%. The original amount is always regarded as 100%,
and this problem wants to find 112%. The simplest method is to first find 1%,
then 112%, by dividing by 100 then multiplying by 112. This can be
112
accomplished in one go, however, by multiplying by , i.e. 1.12.
100
So the answer is £20 × 1.12 = £22.40 .
(iv) Decrease £20 by 12%. This means we are trying to find 88% of the
original, so the answer is £20 × 0.88 = £17.60 .
(vi) Anything weird, and use the simple unitary method, i.e. find what is 1%.
e.g. A coke can advertises 15% extra free, and contains 368ml. How much
extra coke was there?

Questions
(a) One part of a company produces £350 000 profit, while the whole
company makes £5.6 million. What percentage of the whole company’s profits
does this part produce?
(c) An investment earns 8% interest every year. My account has £27000 this
year. How much is contained in my account (i) next year (ii) in ten years’ time
(iii) last year?
(d) Inflation runs at 4% per year in Toyland. Big Ears can buy 24 toadstools
for £1 this year. How many will he be able to buy for £1 in 5 years’ time?
Answers
350 000 1
(a) × 100% = 6 %

17 12 175
(b) 17½% of £25 is × 25 = × 25 = £4.38
100 1000
(d) Inflation at 4% per year means that if you pay £100 for some goods this
year, the same goods will cost you £104 in next years’ money. So 24
toadstools will cost £1× 1.045 = £1.2166529... in 5 years’ time, and so £1 will
1
buy him 24 × , i.e. 19.7… or 19 whole toadstools!
1.2166529...

recurring decimals are rational. Examples of rationals: , 1, 0.25, 3 8 .

A recurring decimal: 0.123 . Call the number x, so x = 0.123123123......
Multiply by a suitable power of 10 so the recurring decimal appears exactly
again: 1000 x = 123.123123..... = 123 + 0.123123....
123 41
