FRACTONS

A fraction is a number that can be written in the form of a/b



The number which is written on top of fraction is called Numerator and the bottom is called denominator.

 


(d) Equivalent fractions
- These are two or more fractions that can be simplified to equal lowest fraction.


Fraction can be represented on number lines.

E.g. represent 1/2 on a number line.


Exercise 1
1. (i) Which of the following are;-

(a) Proper fractions
(b) Mixed fractions
(c) Improper fractions

(ii) List four equivalent fractions

 

Four equivalent fractions are;-


2. Write the following fractions in words



3. Write the name of the fraction of the shaded part in figures 1 and figure 2.



1/4=One over four (A quarter), which is a proper fraction.

Comparison of fraction
Fraction can compare by using two methods
(i) Number line
(ii) L.C.M of the denominators


(I) Number line




(II) L.C.M of the denominators





Operations on fractions

Addition and subtraction of fraction.
NOTE:
1. Add the numerator together if each fraction has the same denominator.

2. If the fraction has different denominator, you must find the smallest number that each denominator divides into exactly. (LCM)

3. When adding fractions, do not add the denominator.

Example:
Evaluate the following fractions



Multiplication

NOTE: 1. Before multiplying a number convert mixed number into improper fractions.

2. Multiply the numerators and multiply the denominator.


Dividing fractions
1. When dividing fractions invert the second fraction then multiply the first fraction by the inverted fraction.

NUMBERS

NUMBERS

What is numbers?
Numbers are symbols or words which represent quality of something for example in form 1B there are forty four students.

i.e. 44 students

The numbers are represented by symbols called numerals.

Each symbol in a numeral is called a digit.

E.g. in 256 there are three digits which are 2, 5, and 6.

There are ten digits which are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9

Each digit in a numeral has a value called place value.

Example in 316, 6 is called ones and can be written 6x1, 1is called tens and can be written 1x10 and 3 is called hundreds and can be written 3x100.

Therefore 316 can be written as 3x100+1x10+6x1 this form is called expanded form.

The system where numbers are in groups of ten is called base ten numerations or decimal system numeration. The place value of every digit in decimal system numeration is ten times the place value of the next to the right.

Table of place values;

ORDER OF OPERATIONS

The order of priority is often given by the word BODMAS to mean

B rackets

O rders

M ultiplication

A ddition

S ubtraction

So first perform any operation in brackets, then any use of orders division or multiplication followed by addition or subtraction.

Example; evaluate the following

a. 12 + 4 x 2 = 12 + (4 x 2) = 12 + 8 = 20

b. 20 ÷ 2 + 3 = (20 ÷ 2) + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13

c. 4 x 3 + 7 x 2 = (4 x 3) + (7 x 2) =12 + 14 =26

1:4 FACTORS AND MULTIPLES OF NUMBERS

When a number divides exactly into another number, it is called a factor of a second number.

The second number is called a multiple of the first numbers.

Example; 16 ÷ 8 = 2 so 2 is the factor of 16 and 16 is the multiple of 2. Other factors of 16 are 8, 4, 1 and 16.

In general one (1) is a factor of every number and each number is a factor of itself.

- Factors of a number are numbers less than the given number.

- Factors are finite, and divisors of the given number.

- Multiple are number greater than the given number.

- They are infinite and dividend of a particular number.

E.g. factors of 36 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36

Multiple of 3 = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 243, 729………………



PRIME FACTORIZATION

Is the process of writing numbers using their prime factors we use the short division in writing/factorization.

E.g. write the following as the product of their prime factors.



THE LOWEST COMMON MULTIPLES (LCM)

LCM is the short form of lowest or least common multiple.

E.g. 2 = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 …………

3 = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 ……………………..

Common multiples are = (6, 12, 18 and 24)

LCM = 6

E.g. find the lowest common multiples of 9, 18, 24

Soln

9 = 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, 108, 117, 126……….

18 = 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 144, 162, 180, 198………………

27 = 27, 54, 81, 198, 135, 162, 189…………………………………

Common multiples are = {54, 108….}

The least common multiples = 54.


PROPERTIES OF WHOLE NUMBERS

There are five properties of whole numbers.

1. Closure property (law)

When two or more whole numbers are operated by adding or multiplying the answer is also a whole numbers.

That is if a and b are whole numbers. Then a + b = c. c is also a whole number. a x b = d d is also a whole number.

E.g. 4 + 6 = 10

3 + 5 = 15

2. Commutative property

If a and b are whole numbers.

Then (i) a + b = b + a

(ii) a x b = b x a

E.g. 3 + 4 = 7

4 + 3 = 7

Implies: 3 + 4 = 4 + 3

a + b = b + a



9 x 6 = 54

6 x 9 = 54

a x b = b x a

3. Association property

If a + b & c are whole number.

Then (i) (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

(ii) (a x b) c = a (b x c)

e.g. (2 + 3) + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9

2 + (3 + 4) = 2 + 7 =9

Implies: (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4)

(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)



e.g. (4 x 2) x 5 = 8 x 5 = 40

4 x (2 x 5) = 4 x 10 = 40

Implies: (4 x 2) x 5 = 4 x (2 x 5)

(a x b) c = a (b x c)

4. Distributive property

If a, b and c are whole numbers, then

a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c)

E.g. 4 x (6 + 9) = 4 x 15 = 60

4 x (6 + 9) = (4 x 6) + (4 x 9)

= 24 + 36

= 60

5. Identity property

If a is a whole number,

Then (i) a + 0 = 0 + a = a

0 is called an identity of addition

(ii) a x 1 = 1 x a = a

1 is called and identity of multiplication.



Exercise 1:5

1. Match the property in group A and group B then name the property

Group A

(a) 2 + (3 + 5)

(b) 1 + (2 + 3)

(c) 2 + (2 + 1)

(d) 4 + (3 + 5)

(e) 1 + (1 + 3)

(f) 8 + (4 + 4)

(g) (1 + 3) + 1



Group B

(h) (2 + 3) + 5

(i) (2 + 2) + 1

(j) (8 + 4) + 4

(k) (1 + 2) + 3

(l) (3 + 5) + 4

(m) (1 + 1) + 3

(n) 1 + (1 + 3)



Solution

a and h have associative property

b and k have commutative property

c and l have associative property

e and m have commutative property

f and j have associative property

g and n have commutative property



2. By using properties of whole numbers given reasons why each of the following two expressions are equal

(a) 5 + (6 + 7) = (7 + 6) +5

- The answer to the two expressions will be the same because the numbers have commuted.

(b) (8 + 3) + 4 = 8 + (4 + 3)

- When you solve this you will get the same answer because of the exchange of the numbers.

(c) 5 + (2 + 1) = 1 + (3 + 2)

- In this expression, we have seen that they are two different expressions so you cannot get the same answer from the two.

(d) (5 + 3) + 2 = 3 + (2 + 5)

- In this two expression you can get the same answer because only the position of numbers and brackets as the one that has changed.



3. Telling / writing equal expressions;

(a) 2 x (5 x 3) = (2 x 5) x 3 – associative property

(b) 4 x (3 x 5) = (4 x 3) x 5 – associative property

(c) 2 x (4 x 7) = 7 x (2 x 4) – associative property

(d) 3 x (2 x 2) = 3 x (2 x 2) x 3 – commutative property

(e) (3 x 2) x 6 = 16 x (2 x 2) – commutative property

(f) (3 x 2) x 3 = (2 x 3) x 3 – commutative property

4. Why is it permitted to write 3 x 2 x 5 x 9 without any brackets?

Because even if they are written without brackets they don’t destroy the meaning of the question / statement.



5. Express each of the following in the form of (a x b) + (a x c)

(a) 2 x (3 + 5)

= (2 x 3) + (2 x 5)



(b) 4 x (3 + 10)

= (4 x 3) + (4 x 10)



(c) 2 x (3 + 7)

= (2 x 3) + (2 x 7)



(d) 4 x (3 + 1)

= (4 x 3) + (4 x 1)



6. Express each of the following in the form a x (b + c)

(a) (2 x 5) + (2 x 3)

= 2 x (5 + 3)



(b) (5 x 3) + (5 x 7)

= 5 x (3 + 7)

(c) (2 x 1) + (2 x 3)

= 2 x (1 + 3)



(d) (7 x 3) + (7 x 1)

= 7 x (3 + 1)



7. Calculate the following;

(a) 14 x 5 + 16 – 4 =82

(b) 36 x 72 ÷ 4 = 648

(c) (144 + 20) x 48 + 4 ÷ 2 = 7872

(d) 24 x (10 + 54) + 8 = 192



1:5 INTEGERS

The integers are whole numbers from negative infinity to positive infinity.

They are denoted by Z.

The order of the size of the number 1, 2, 3, 4…… can be represented as points on a number line.

Starting from 0 to the right and other numbers from 0 to the left

Number line for Z


If we want to know which number is larger than the other we have to consider which one is to the right or left?

Consider the following




E.g. write down all the integers between – 5 and 4



Solution








Operation with integers

Integers can be operated using number lines except for division

Addition of integers

RULE 1: To add a negative integer you move to the left on the number line.

Example

-2 + -5 = -7

Start at -2 move 5 steps to the left or star at 0 move 2 steps to the left then -5 steps to the left



RULE 2: To add a positive integer you move to right on number line.

Example





Subtraction of integers

Subtraction of positive integers gives the same result as addition of integers.

RULE 1: To subtract a positive integer you move to the left on the number line.







Multiplication

The rules for multiplying are as follows



NOTE: The results are similar to the rules of multiplication.

Example

-36 ÷ 6 = -6

24 ÷ 6 = +4

24 ÷ -6 = -4

-24 ÷ 6 = -4

-24 ÷ -6 = 4

PROPER BEHAVIOR AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION MAKING
