Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

ACTIVITY: Division by multiples of 10 [LO 1.5.1, LO 1.7.5]

23.4 DIVISION BY MULTIPLES OF 10

23.4.1 Do you still remember?

a) This is how I divide 0,8 by 40:

0,8 ÷ 40 = (0,8 ÷ 10) ÷ 4

= 0,08 ÷ 4

= 0,02

b) When I divide 4,2 by 600, I say:

4,2 ÷ 600 = (4,2 ÷ 100) ÷ 6

= 0,042 ÷ 6

= 0,007

23.4.2 Calculate the following without a calculator:

a) j = 3,28 ÷ 80

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

b) d = 567 ÷ 700

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

c) g = 18,6 ÷ 2 000

23.5 DIVISION WITH DECIMAL FRACTIONS

23.5.1 Work through the following examples with a friend:

A roll of material is 11,25 m long. 1,5 m of material is needed to make one dress.

How many dresses can be cut from this roll of material?

a) I must calculate 11,25 ÷ 1,5

I change the decimal fractions to fractions:

11,25=1125100=111411,25=1125100=1114 size 12{"11","25"="11" { { size 8{"25"} } over { size 8{"100"} } } ="11" { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{4} } } } {} en 1,5=1510=1121,5=1510=112 size 12{1,5=1 { { size 8{5} } over { size 8{"10"} } } =1 { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } } {}

11 1 4 ÷ 1 1 2 = 45 4 ÷ 3 2 45 4 × 2 3 7 1 2 11 1 4 ÷ 1 1 2 = 45 4 ÷ 3 2 45 4 × 2 3 7 1 2 alignl { stack { size 12{"11" { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{4} } } div 1 { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } = { { size 8{"45"} } over { size 8{4} } } div { { size 8{3} } over { size 8{2} } } } {} # = { { size 8{"45"} } over { size 8{4} } } times { { size 8{2} } over { size 8{3} } } {} # =7 { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } {} } } {} (1)

I make use of equivalent fractions:

11 , 25 ÷ 1,5 = 11 , 25 1,5 × 10 10 = 112 , 5 15 7,5 7 1 2 11 , 25 ÷ 1,5 = 11 , 25 1,5 × 10 10 = 112 , 5 15 7,5 7 1 2 alignl { stack { size 12{"11","25" div 1,5= { { size 8{"11","25"} } over { size 8{1,5} } } times { { size 8{"10"} } over { size 8{"10"} } } = { { size 8{"112",5} } over { size 8{"15"} } } } {} # =7,5 {} # =7 { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } ` {} } } {} (2)

c) I must calculate 11,25 ÷ 1,5I change the divisor to a whole number so that I can divide easier.

1,5 × 10 = 15

To keep the balance in the sum, I must also multiply the dividend by 10!

11,25 × 10 = 112,5

Table 1
    7 ,5
  15 112 ,5
    –105  
    7 5
      –7 5
      · ·

The answer is thus 7,5 dresses..

Assessment

Learning Outcome 1: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent numbers and their relationships, and to count, estimate, calculate and check with competence and confidence in solving problems.

Assessment Standard 1.5: We know this when the learner solves problems in context including contexts that may be used to build awareness of other Learning Areas, as well as human rights, social, economic and environmental issues such as:

1.5.1 financial (including profit and loss, budgets, accounts, loans, simple interest, hire purchase, exchange rates);

Assessment Standard 1.7: We know this when the learner estimates and calculates by selecting and using operations appropriate to solving problems that involve:

1.7.5 division of positive decimals with at least 3 decimal places by whole numbers.
