COMBINED OPERATIONS OF +, -, x, OF DECIMALS A) Combined Operations of Addition and Subtraction Worked Example Find the value of each of the

e following. (a) 7.41 + 6.35 - 10.02 (b) 8.41 - 31 + 2.07 4 Solution

B) Problem Solving involving Addition and Subtraction Worked Example A vessel weighing 0.98 kg contains 25.8kg of rice. If 10.5 kg of the rice is used, find the total mass of the vessel with the remaining rice.

Solution 1. Understand the problem Given information : Mass of vessel = 0.98 kg Mass of rice = 25.8 kg Mass of rice used = 10.5 kg Find : Mass of the vessel and remaining rice 2. Devise a plan Perform addition followed by subtraction. 3. Carry out the plan 0.98 + 25.8 - 10.5 = 26.78 - 10.5 = 16. 28 0.96 + 2 5 . 8__ 26.78 - 1 0 . 5__ 16.28 Therefore, the total mass of the vessel and remaining rice is 16.28 kg. C) Combined Operations of Multiplication and Division Worked Example Calculate each of the following. (a) 4.6 x 0.8 1.6 Solution

Worked Example Calculate each of the following. (a) 7 x 0 . 9 4 5 Solution (a) 7 x 0 . 9 4 5 = 6. 3 4 ( Invert the fraction. ) 5 = 6. 3 x 5 4 = 31. 5 4 = 7. 875 D) Problem Solving involving Multiplication and Division Worked Example A shopkeeper buys 5 sacks of sugar each weighing 64.2 kg. If he packs the sugar into plastic bags of 11 kg 2 each, how many bags are required ? Solution 1. Understand the problem Given information : Mass of a sack of sugar = 64.2 kg 5 sacks of sugar are packed into plastic bags of 11 kg. Find : Number of plastic bags required 2. Devise a plan Perform multiplication followed by division. 3. Carry out the plan 5 x 64. 2 11 2

= 5 x 64. 2 3 2 = 192. 6 3 2 = 192. 6 x 2 3 = 385. 2 3 = 128. 4 4. Check 3 x 128. 4 = 192.6 2 192. 6 3 = 64. 2 Worked Example Amy bought 20 eggs costing RM3. 80. Lissa bought 35 of those eggs. How much did Lissa pay ? Solution Cost of 20 eggs = RM3.80 Cost of 35 eggs = 3.80 20 x 35 = 0.19 x 35 = 6.65 Therefore, Lissa paid RM6.65. E) Combined Operations of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division Worked Example Calculate each of the following. (a) 12. 5 - 0. 26 x 2. 6 (b) 3. 2 x 4 - 10. 4 4

F) Problem Solving involving Combined Operations of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division Worked Example Amir bought 260 eggs costing RM0.15 each. He sold all the eggs at RM0.18 each. Find his profit. Solution 1. Understand the problem Given information : Number of eggs bought = 260 Cost price of an egg = RM0.15 Selling price of an egg = RM0.18 Find : Profit made from 260 eggs 2. Devise a plan Use subtraction and multiplication. 3. Carry out the plan

Therefore, Amir's profit was RM7.80. 4.Check 260 x0.18 2080 2 6 0__ 4 6. 8 0 260 x0.15 1300 2 6 0_ 3 9. 0 0 3 6. 8 0 - 3 9. 0 0 7. 8 0

Worked Example Haikal bought 7 pencils at RM0.80 each and 6 pens at RM1.30 each. If he paid with a RM30 note, How much change did he receive ?

Solution Cost of 7 pencils = 7 x 0.80 Cost of 6 pens = 6 x 1.30 Total cost of pencils and pens = 7 x 0.80 + 6 x 1.30 Change received by Haikal = 30 - ( 7 x 0.80 + 6 x 1.30 ) = 30 - ( 5.60 + 7.80 ) = 30 - 13.40 = 16.60 0.80 7 5.60 1.30 6 7.80

Therefore, the change was RM16.60
