## 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:

$\text{11},\text{25}=\text{11}\frac{\text{25}}{\text{100}}=\text{11}\frac{1}{4}$ en $1,5=1\frac{5}{\text{10}}=1\frac{1}{2}$

$\begin{array}{}\text{11}\frac{1}{4}÷1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\text{45}}{4}÷\frac{3}{2}\\ \frac{\text{45}}{4}×\frac{2}{3}\\ 7\frac{1}{2}\end{array}$

I make use of equivalent fractions :

$\begin{array}{}\text{11},\text{25}÷1,5=\frac{\text{11},\text{25}}{1,5}×\frac{\text{10}}{\text{10}}=\frac{\text{112},5}{\text{15}}\\ 7,5\\ 7\frac{1}{2}\end{array}$

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

 7 ,5 15 112 ,5 –105 7 5 –7 5 · ·

The answer is thus 7,5 dresses..

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

f) Round off the cost of the national calls (0 – 50 km) to 1 digit after the comma.

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

g) What is the total cost of the national calls? ……………………………………

h) If two “ShareCall” calls cost R1,28, what would 48 such calls cost?

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

i) The account is paid with a R200 note and a R20 note. How much change will be given?

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

j) How much is YOUR telephone account each month, on average, over a period of one year?

## 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.

what is variations in raman spectra for nanomaterials
I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
Professor
I think
Professor
what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
Damian
How we are making nano material?
what is a peer
What is meant by 'nano scale'?
What is STMs full form?

yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net

what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
Bharti
do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes
