Section 1 :- Skills Audit
1.Choose any number between 30 and 100. Can you create at least two different number sentences that equal to this number? (for example :
You must use at least three separate operations.
Ans.
45
i. 8 + 8- 3 = 45
ii. 32 + 9 = 45
2. Choose any two fractions with different denominators
(e.g .Which one is larger? Show your calculations, do not convert them as decimals or percentages.
Ans.
, :LCM of 7 and 5 = 35
Converting to equivalent fractions :- 9/7= 45/35 and 2/5= 14/35
∵ 45/35 > 14/35 ∴ 9/7 is greater than 2/5
3. Convert both fractions you have used above into decimal and percentages.
For 9/7,
Decimal = 1.285 ; Percentage = 9/7 * 100 = 128.5%
For 2/5,
Decimal = 0.4 : Percentage = 2/5 * 100 = 40%
4. Provide one real life example for each of the following
>Percentage increase
>Percentage decrease
> Percentage change
Show step by step calculations for each of your examples(questions)
Ans.
Percentage Increase :-
In August, Audra worked a total of 35 hours, in September she worked 45.5 hours – by what percentage did Audra’s working hours increase in September?
Solution.
Difference between the no. of hours worked = 45.5-35 = 10.5
% Increase = 10.5/35 *100 = 30%
Thus, Audra’s working hours increased by 30% from August to September.
Percentage decrease :-
The price of a dozen eggs was $2.29, but is now $2.09. What is the percent decrease?
Solution.
Difference between the prices = $(2.29-2.09) = $ 0.20
% Decrease = 0.20/2.29 * 100 = 8.73%
Percentage change :-
The price of oil decreased from $54 per barrel to $50 per barrel. What is the percent decrease in oil prices?
Solution.
Difference between the prices = $(54-50) = $ 4
Percent change = 4/54 *100 = 7.4%
Thus, the price of oil decreased by 7.4%.
5. Give one real- world example(question) of reverse percentages and show your calculations to find the answer?
Ans. A TV costs $350 after a 25% discount. Find out the original price of the TV.
Solution.
Let the original cost of the the TV be $100.
∴ the cost after a discount of 25% = $100- $25 = $75
Thus, the original price of the TV = 350 ÷ 75/100 =$466.67
6. Give one real- world examples each (question) of Direct and Indirect Proportions and show your calculations to find the answer?
Ans. Direct proportion :-
The circumference c of a circle is directly proportional to its diameter d.
We know, Circumference of a circle (C) = 2πr [r is the radius of the circe]
∴ C = πd [Diameter( d)=2r]
∵ π is constant
∴ C ∝ d
Eg.,
Let thediameter of circle A be d cm . How does the circumference change If the diameter is doubled or quadrupled?
For circle A, diameter(d1) = 4 cm
∴ Circumference (C1) = dπ cm
When diameter is doubled, diameter(d2) = 2d cm
∴ Circumference (C2) = (2d)π cm = 2(dπ) cm = 2C1
When diameter is quadrupled, diameter(d3) = 4d cm
∴ Circumference (C3) = (4d)π cm = 4(dπ) cm = 4C1
Thus, when the diameter of the circle is doubled or quadrupled, the circumference also gets doubled and quadrupled respectively.
Indirect proportion :-
Speed and travel time are Inversely Proportional because the...
