ACTIVITY: Adding and subtracting of decimal fractions [LO 1.7.4]

17. ADDING AND SUBTRACTING OF DECIMAL FRACTIONS:

17.1 Do you still remember?

It is very easy to add and subtract decimal fractions. We do it in exactly

the same way that we would add and subtract whole numbers.

Just be certain that you write:

  • the tenths in the tenths column.
  • the hundredths in the hundredths column.
  • the thousandths in the thousandths column.

Figure 1 (graphics1.png)

17.2 Calculate:

a) n = 284,523 + 715,432

b) d = 476,897 + 325,486

c) k = 532,298 – 416,549

d) b = 785,361 – 364,562

18. BRAIN-TEASER!

  • Write two elevenths as a decimal fraction. Then write nine elevenths as a decimal fraction. Add the two answers together.

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

  • You already know that 2 elevenths plus 9 elevenths = 11 elevenths = one !
  • How do you explain the above answer?

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

19. Let us see how you do in the following mental test.

a) 0,6 + 0,4 = .................

b) 2,4 + 0,9 = .................

c) 0,27 + 0,4 = .................

d) 5 – 0,7 = .................

e) 3,8 + 2,6 = .................

f) 3,2 – 0,5 = .................

g) 3,45 – 0,05 = .................

h) 3,45 – 2,2 = .................

i) 3,45 – 2,4 = .................

j) 2,65 + 4,05 = .................

k) 4 – 1,02 = .................

l) 0,39 + 0,73 = .................

m) 3,25 + 1,75 = .................

n) 4,9 + 3,7 = .................

o) 12 – 3,8 = .................
