1 There are many factors that affect the environment of our planet. One of these is world population. The data supplied in the table give the estimated or projected world population for the middle of the year. In which ten-year period did (or will) the world population increase the most? In which ten-year period is the percentage increase the largest? This chapter refreshes your skills in working with numbers expressed as fractions, decimals, percentages or in index form and applying those skills to real-life situations.

Maths Quest 9 for Victoria

Order of operations Anton has calculated the answer to 5 + 6 × 4 as 44, while Marco insists that the answer is 29. Who is correct? In mathematics, it is important to ensure that everybody obtains the same result from a calculation; so the order in which mathematical operations are worked is important. The order of operations requires that: 1 all brackets are evaluated first, beginning with the innermost brackets 2 then, all multiplication and division are evaluated, working from left to right 3 and finally, any addition and subtraction, working from left to right. To obtain the correct answer to the calculation 5 + 6 × 4, we must complete the operations of + and × in the correct order. That is, × first then +. 5+6×4 = 5 + 24 = 29

WORKED Example 1 Evaluate each of the following without using a calculator. a 4 + 12 − 5 + 6 b 4 + 12 − (5 + 6) c 6 + 21 ÷ 7

The rules for using integers are: Rule 1 When adding integers with the same sign, keep the sign and add; −3 + −2 = −5. Rule 2 When adding integers with different signs, find the difference and use the sign of the number further from zero; –3 + 4 = 1. Rule 3 When subtracting integers, add the opposite; 5 − −7 = 12. Rule 4 When multiplying integers, the following rules are obeyed. (a) Positive × Positive = Positive

5 × 8 = 40

(b) Positive × Negative = Negative

5 × −8 = −40

(c) Negative × Positive = Negative

−5 × 8 = −40

(d) Negative × Negative = Positive

−5 × −8 = 40

Rule 5 When dividing integers, use the same rules as for multiplication. (a) 16 ÷ 2

THINK WRITE 5 − 3 − 4 − 1 = −3 ≠ −2 1 The answer (−2) is less than the first number in the question; so try subtraction. 5 − 3 − 4 + 1 = −1 ≠ −2 2 The result of the first try (−3) is a little too small; so change the last sign to +. 5−3−4×1 3 The result of the second try (−1) is too big; so try multiplying the last digit, which is 1, =5−3−4 ing to use the order of operations. = −2

1. When adding integers with the same sign, keep the sign and add. 2. When adding integers with different signs, find the difference and use the sign of the number further from zero. 3. When subtracting integers, add the opposite; for example 5 – –7 = 12. 4. When multiplying and dividing integers, like signs give positive answers, unlike signs give negative answers. 5. When using order of operations, evaluate brackets before multiplication and division, then evaluate addition and subtraction.

Golf scores In golf, par is the number of strokes considered necessary to complete a hole in expert play. A birdie is a score of one stroke under par and a bogey is one stroke over par. An eagle is a score of 2 strokes under par while 3 strokes under par is called an albatross. A double bogey is 2 strokes over par and a triple bogey is 3 strokes over par. 1 Use integers to represent: a par b a birdie c a bogey d an eagle e an albatross f a double bogey g a triple bogey. 2 Which score for a hole would be the most difficult to achieve? 3 Leon and Dion have finished a round of 18 holes with the following information shown on their scorecards.

Estimation and rounding Rounding to a given number of decimal places Ms Shopper’s bill at the supermarket comes to $94.68 and she pays $94.70. Mr Shopper’s bill is $83.72 and he pays $83.70. The bills have been rounded to the nearest 5 cents because the 5-cent is the smallest coin used. Ms Shopper’s bill has been rounded up because 68 cents is closer to 70 cents than to 65 cents. Mr Shopper’s bill has been rounded down because 72 cents is closer to 70 cents than to 75 cents. Measuring distances is another one of the many practical situations where it is necessary to round an answer to a given number of decimal places. For example, the distance between two towns is given to the nearest kilometre. It is not practical or useful to the average motorist that the distance between Melbourne and Sydney by a certain route is 1024.352 km. We give the distance simply as 1024 km. The accuracy of measurement is limited by what is practical and by the accuracy of the instrument being used to take the measurement. For example, with your ruler it would not be possible to measure anything more accurately than to the nearest millimetre. The measurement 5.6713 cm ≈ 5.7 cm because 5.6713 is closer to 5.7 than it is to 5.6. The rounded answer, 5.7, is the closest approximation to the exact answer. To round an answer to a given number of decimal places, consider only the first digit after the required number of decimal places. If that digit is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, then leave it and all following digits out of the answer. If that digit is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, then the last digit to be written is increased by 1 and all else is left out. Many calculators are able to round off using the FIX function.

On some scientific calculators, you need to press MODE first.

On a TI graphics calculator, press MODE , arrow down to the second row, then arrow across to highlight the number that corresponds to the required number of decimal places. Press ENTER to set this rounding condition. To undo this operation, press MODE , arrow down to highlight FLOAT and press ENTER . Any rounded answer is not an exact answer but a close approximation.

WORKED Example 5

Round 15.439 657 to: a 1 decimal place b 3 decimal places. THINK WRITE a 1 Write the number. a 15.439 657 Look at the second decimal place to determine whether to ≈ 15.4 2 leave it or to round it up. The digit is 3; so rewrite the number without all digits after the first decimal place. b 1 Write the number. b 15.439 657 ≈ 15.440 2 Look at the fourth decimal place to determine whether to leave it or to round it up. The digit is 6; so increase the third decimal place by 1. Note: Adding 1 to 9 gives 10, thus 439 becomes 440 and the zero must be included. Note: The more decimal places, the closer the approximation is to the exact answer.

There were 70 000 people at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for Australia’s one-day match against the West Indies.

Rounding to a given number of significant figures Although the caption describes a crowd of 70 000, in reality there may have been 70 246 people. The number has been rounded to 1 significant figure because the rest of the number, 246, has no impact on our image of the size of the crowd. When using very large or very small numbers, rounding to a given number of significant figures is often used. To round to 1 significant figure means having only 1 non-zero digit beginning from the left with the other digits being zeros. The number 367 rounded to 1 significant figure is 400 because 367 is closer to 400 than to 300. To write 452 correct to 2 significant figures, we need to consider whether 452 is closer to 450 or 460. It is closer to 450, and 4 and 5 are the 2 significant figures. The method of deciding whether to leave or round up is the same as rounding to a number of decimal places.

WORKED Example 6

Round 347 629 to: a 1 significant figure b 3 significant figures. THINK WRITE a 1 Write the number. a 347 629 ≈ 300 000 2 Look at the second significant figure to determine whether to leave it or to round it up. The digit is 4, so rewrite the number, replacing all digits after the first significant figure with zeros. b 1 Write the number. b 347 629 Look at the fourth significant figure to determine whether to it ≈ 348 000 2 leave or to round it up. The digit is 6 so write the answer by adding 1 to the third digit and replace all other digits with zeros.



11

Note: The more significant figures taken, the closer the approximation is to the exact answer. When the first non-zero significant figure appears after the decimal point, any zeros before that figure are not significant.

WORKED Example 7 Round 0.004 502 6 to 3 significant figures. THINK 1 2

WRITE

Write the number. The first significant figure is the 4. Round to 3 significant figures beginning with the 4. The last zero must be included in the answer because it is one of the significant figures.

0.004 502 6 ≈ 0.004 50

Estimation Rounding is also used when making an estimation or mental approximation of an answer. Estimation is a method of checking the reasonableness of an answer or a calculator computation. We can estimate an answer by rounding the numbers in the question to simple numbers that can be calculated mentally.

1. When rounding to a given number of decimal places, count only those places after the decimal point. 2. When rounding to a given number of significant figures, begin counting from the first non-zero digit. 3. A quick mental estimation can be used to check the accuracy of calculations. 4. Rounding is often used to convey a concept of size rather than an exact number.

Decimal numbers Decimal numbers are so much a part of everyday life that we need to be able to use them, put them in order and convert them to simple fractions and percentages. When using either your graphics calculator or a scientific calculator, enter the calculation as written and the calculator will perform the calculation using the correct order of operations. There are, however, many things that we need to be able to do ourselves with decimals without the aid of a calculator.

Ordering decimal numbers Ascending order means from lowest to highest and descending order means from highest to lowest. This is done by first writing each number with the same number of decimal places, adding zeros where necessary. We then look at the left-most digit. The greater this digit, the greater the decimal number. If the left-most digits are the same, we move to the next digit, and so on.

Finite or terminating decimal numbers Finite decimal numbers have a fixed or finite number of decimal places and can be written as a fraction with a denominator that is a multiple of 10. If the decimal number has 1 decimal place, the denominator of the fraction is 10; if there are 2 decimal places, the denominator is 100; if there are 3 decimal places, the denominator is 1000 and so on. In each case the numerator is the decimal number without the decimal point. These fractions are simplified where possible.

Converting decimal numbers to percentages To convert a decimal number to a percentage, we multiply the decimal number by 100 and include the % sign.

WORKED Example 11 Convert 0.357 to a percentage. THINK 1 2

Write the decimal number. Multiply the decimal number by 100 by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right. to include the percentage sign.

1. To order decimal numbers, write each with the same number of decimal places and compare. 2. To write finite decimal numbers as fractions, make the denominator an appropriate multiple of 10 and simplify where possible. The number of zeros in the denominator should be the same as the number of digits after the decimal point. 3. To convert a decimal number to a percentage, multiply by 100 and include the percentage sign.

As with any calculation involving fractions, if you wish to have an answer expressed as a fraction then each calculation needs to end by pressing MATH , selecting 1: Frac and pressing ENTER . ------ on your graphics calcuFor example, to simplify 28 44 lator, enter 28 ÷ 44 then press MATH choose option 1: Frac, then press ENTER . This can be seen in the screen at right. Note: The graphics calculator gives all answers as improper fractions and will not give answers as mixed numbers. It is important that we know how to perform calculations using fractions both with and without a calculator. Without a calculator, we would simplify

28 -----44

by dividing both the numerator and the

denominator by the highest common factor (HCF) of both. The HCF of 28 and 44 is 4. 7

To change improper fractions to mixed numbers, divide the numerator by the denominator and express the remainder as a fraction in simplest form. 3. To change a mixed number into an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator and write the result over the denominator. 4. To add or subtract fractions, form equivalent fractions with the same denominator, then add or subtract the numerators. 5. To multiply fractions, cancel if possible, then multiply the numerators, multiply the denominators and simplify if appropriate. 6. To divide fractions, times and tip, then simplify if possible. 7. To add, subtract, multiply or divide mixed numbers, change the mixed numbers to improper fractions first. (When subtracting, an alternative method is to make the second fraction into a whole number after writing the fractions with the same denominator.) 8. To write fractions in order, express them as equivalent fractions and compare. 9. To find a fraction of an amount, multiply the fraction by the amount. 10.

Percentages In this section, we will be converting percentages to decimal numbers and to simple fractions. We will be finding the percentage of an amount, expressing one amount as a percentage of another, finding the full amount given some other amount as a percentage of it, and increasing and decreasing amounts by a given percentage.

Converting percentages to decimal numbers To convert a percentage to a decimal number, divide the percentage by 100. % means ‘out of 100’.

WORKED Example 17 Convert 56.25% to a decimal number. THINK 1 2

WRITE

Write the percentage. Divide the percentage by 100. The number will be smaller so change the position of the decimal point 2 places to the left.

56.25% = 0.5625

Converting percentages to fractions in simplest form To convert a percentage to a fraction in simplest form, place the percentage over 100 and simplify where appropriate. If the percentage includes a fraction, change to an improper fraction then divide the percentage by 100 and simplify where appropriate.

Expressing one amount as a percentage of another To express one amount as a percentage of another is the same as to convert a fraction to a percentage. Write a fraction with the first amount as the numerator and the second amount as the denominator, then multiply the fraction by 100.

WORKED Example 20 Write 2.4 as a percentage of 12.8. THINK 1

)%

= 18.75%

Finding the full amount, given a percentage of it If Fred knows that his cheque for $50 000 was 25% of his uncle’s estate, can he work out the value of the estate? To do this, first calculate 1% of the total amount, then multiply by 100 to find 100% of the amount. This is known as the unitary method of percentages.

WORKED Example 21 Find the number, if 62% of the number is 186. THINK 1 Write the given information. 2 Find 1% by dividing both the percentage and the number by the percentage. (That is, ÷ 62.) 3 Find 100%, or the whole amount, by multiplying the percentage and the number by 100. 4 Write the answer in a sentence to show what is meant.

Increasing and decreasing by a given percentage To increase an amount by a given percentage, add the increase to 100% to find a new percentage and then find the new percentage of the original amount. Similarly, to decrease an amount by a percentage, subtract the decrease from 100% and find the new percentage of the original amount.

WORKED Example 22 Increase 300 by 17%. THINK 1 2

WRITE

Add the increase to 100% to find the new percentage of 300. Write the calculation using the new percentage which is greater than 100% because it is an increase. Write the percentage as a fraction out of 100, multiply by the amount and cancel if appropriate. Simplify. Write a sentence.

(17 + 100)% = 117% 117% of 300 117 300 3 = -----------1 × ----------1 100 = 351 If 300 is increased by 17%, it becomes 351.

Alternatively, the percentage increase could be found and added to the original amount. To decrease an amount by a given percentage, subtract the decrease from 100% to find a new percentage and then find the new percentage of the original amount. For example, to decrease 300 by 17% is to find 83% of 300. The answer must be less than the original amount because it has been decreased.

1. To convert a percentage to a decimal number, divide by 100. 2. To convert a percentage to a fraction in simplest form, divide by 100 or write the percentage as a fraction out of 100, then simplify. 3. To find a percentage of an amount, divide the percent by 100 and multiply by the amount. 4. To express one amount as a percentage of another, divide the first amount by the second and multiply by 100. 5. If we need to find an amount, given the percentage of that amount, find 1% and multiply the result by 100. 6. To increase an amount by a given percentage, add the percentage to 100% and find the resulting percentage of the amount. 7. To decrease an amount by a given percentage, subtract the percentage from 100% and find the resulting percentage of the amount.

Career profile GREG McINTYRE — Production Manager

Name: Greg McIntyre Profession: Production Manager Qualifications: Certificate of Business Studies (Advertising) Employer: Idea Communications I decided to undertake the Business Studies (Advertising) course because I was interested in advertising and commercial art. It was also recommended to me by my high school art teacher. At Idea Communications I oversee all work produced in the art studio and by outside suppliers. I check that production specifications are complied with, that budgets are adhered to and deadlines are met. All new jobs require ‘opening’ which entails filling in production brief forms, estimating costs and preparing schedules. Quotations are obtained for all outside supplier costs. A choice is made, but not always because of cost, and orders are issued. A lot of the work I do involves calculations with fractions, decimals and percentages. For example: 1. Estimates involve calculating the number of hours each task or job will involve, multiplying by the hourly rate for staff required, adding outside costs (printer,

photographers and so on) and adding GST. 2. Schedules are produced by working backwards from the delivery deadline. I determine the sequence of tasks, how long each task will take and the studio required. All staff time sheets must correlate with the task and the time allocated. Work is often ‘juggled’, depending on priority, to ensure that deadlines are met. 3. Invoice approvals are checked against purchase orders and take into unquoted items such as freight, tax and corrections. It seems to me that mathematical skills are vital to a productive enterprise of any kind. Computers and calculators are a useful aid, but without an understanding of the principles, not much can be achieved. Questions 1. What does ‘opening’ a new job entail at Idea Communications? 2. Why is it more beneficial for Greg to ‘work backwards from the delivery deadline?’ 3. What other courses offer an advertising certificate or degree?

Index notation, square roots and higher order roots Index notation An index is a power to which a number is raised. It is the number of times that the base number is multiplied together. In the case of 24, 2 is the base and 4 is the index. On a calculator this is calculated by using the ^ function or the xy function. The keys to press on a graphics calculator to calculate 24 are 2^4 ENTER.
