Let s strt: Multipliction musings Finding the re of lock of lnd usully involves multiplying decimls. Consider the following questions within your group. Wht hppens when you multiply y numer tht is less thn? Consider the product of 0.7. Will the nswer e more or less thn? Why? Estimte n nswer to 0.7. Wht is the totl numer of deciml plces in the numers nd 0.7? Clculte 0.7. How mny deciml plces re there in the nswer? When multiplying decimls, strt y ignoring ny deciml points nd perform the multipliction s you would normlly. On rriving t your nswer, plce the deciml point in the correct position. The correct position of the deciml point in the nswer is found y following the rule tht the totl numer of deciml plces in the question must equl the numer of deciml plces in the nswer. For exmple:.4. deciml plces in the question 4 deciml points 068 ignored here 40 6408.4. = 6.408 deciml plces in the nswer It is lwys worthwhile estimting your nswer. This llows you to check tht your deciml point is in the correct plce nd tht your nswer mkes sense. When multiplying y multiples of 0, initilly ignore the zeros in the multiplier nd ny deciml points nd perform routine multipliction. On rriving t your nswer, position your deciml point, rememering to move your deciml point ccording to the rules of multiplying y powers of 0.

Essentil Mthemtics for the Victorin Curriculum Yer 7 Numer nd Alger 4 6H Decimls nd percentges Percentges re commonly used in tody s society. Per cent is derived from the Ltin words per centum, mening out of. Percentges give n ide of proportion. For exmple, if newspper sttes tht 000 people wnt council swimming pool We see percentges used round us in mny different situtions. constructed, then we know how mny wnt pool ut we don t know wht proportion of the community tht is. However, if there re 00 people in this community, the newspper cn stte tht 80% wnt swimming pool. This informs us tht mjority of the community (i.e. 80 out of every people) wnt swimming pool constructed.

Drw nother squre of side length 0 cm nd cretively shde n exct percentge of the figure. Ask your prtner to work out the percentge you shded. Wht percentge is shded? The symol, %, mens per cent. It comes from the Ltin words per centum, which trnsltes to out of. For exmple: % mens out of which equls = 0. To convert percentge to deciml, divide y. This is done y moving the deciml point plces to the left. For exmple: 4% = 4 = 0.4. To convert deciml to percentge, multiply y. This is done y moving the deciml point plces to the right. For exmple: 0.64 = 6.4. Therefore 0.64 = 6.4% Note: As in Section 6D, it is not ctully the deciml point tht moves; rther, it is the digits tht move round the sttionry deciml point. Key ides
