2. What is of cardinal importance before attempting to add or subtract fractions?

3. Show whether you are able to do the following:

3.1 8 - 4 3 7 size 12{ { { size 8{3} } over { size 8{7} } } } {}

3.2 3 1 9 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{9} } } } {} - 1 1 2 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } } {}

  • Note this : The denominators must be similar when you add fractions together or subtract them from one another.

e.g. 2 4 7 size 12{ { { size 8{4} } over { size 8{7} } } } {} - 1 6 7 size 12{ { { size 8{6} } over { size 8{7} } } } {}

2 – 1 = 1 and

4 7 size 12{ { { size 8{4} } over { size 8{7} } } } {} - 6 7 size 12{ { { size 8{6} } over { size 8{7} } } } {}

( 4 – 6 --- this is not possible. Carry one whole: 1 = 7 7 size 12{ { { size 8{7} } over { size 8{7} } } } {} )

( 4 + 7 = 11 --- yes, 11 – 6 = 5)

Answer: 5 7 size 12{ { { size 8{5} } over { size 8{7} } } } {}

  • You could also reduce compound numbers to improper fractions and make the denominators similar.
  • e.g.. 18 7 − 13 7 = 5 7 size 12{ { { size 8{"18"} } over { size 8{7} } } - { { size 8{"13"} } over { size 8{7} } } = { { size 8{5} } over { size 8{7} } } } {} (18 – 13 = 5: The denominators are the same. Subtract one numerator from the other.)

4. Do the following:

4.1 4 1 7 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{7} } } } {} + 4 16 42 size 12{ { { size 8{"16"} } over { size 8{"42"} } } } {}

4.2 36 － 15 6 11 size 12{ { { size 8{6} } over { size 8{"11"} } } } {}

4.3 1 8 + 0, 625 − 3 8 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{8} } } +0,"625" - { { size 8{3} } over { size 8{8} } } } {}

4.4 4 5 10 + 7 1 2 + 6 3 4 size 12{4 { { size 8{5} } over { size 8{"10"} } } +7 { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } +6 { { size 8{3} } over { size 8{4} } } } {}

4.5 7 1 3 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{3} } } } {} - 4 7 8 size 12{ { { size 8{7} } over { size 8{8} } } } {}

4.6 7 a - a 4 size 12{ { { size 8{a} } over { size 8{4} } } } {} a / 4

4.7 9 a + 6 ab − 3 b size 12{ { { size 8{9} } over { size 8{a} } } + left ( { { size 8{6} } over { size 8{ ital "ab"} } } - { { size 8{3} } over { size 8{b} } } right )} {}

4.8 - 6 + 2 6 7 size 12{ { { size 8{6} } over { size 8{7} } } } {}

4.9 5 - (4 4 9 size 12{ { { size 8{4} } over { size 8{9} } } } {} + 2 2 3 size 12{ { { size 8{2} } over { size 8{3} } } } {} )

4.10 3 1 3 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{3} } } } {} a - 2 1 2 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } } {} a

Activity 1.5

Multiplication and division of rational numbers (fractions)

[lo 1.2.6, 1.6.2]

  • You did this in grade 7 – let's refresh the memory.

1. Multiplication:

  • Important : Write all compound numbers as fractions.Then do crosswise cancellation.

Try the following:

  • 1 1 4 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{4} } } } {} × 2 1 2 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } } {} × 4

2. Division:

  • The reciprocal plays an important role in the division of fractions.

Use an example to explain this term.

e.g. 1 3 ÷ 2 3 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{3} } } div { { size 8{2} } over { size 8{3} } } } {}

  • Both numbers are fractions
  • Change ÷ to the × sign and obtain the reciprocal of the denominator (fraction following the ÷ sign).
  • Do cancellation as with multiplication.

3. Do the following:

3.1 8 ÷ 8 11 size 12{ { { size 8{8} } over { size 8{"11"} } } } {}

3.2 18 ÷ 7 8 size 12{ { { size 8{7} } over { size 8{8} } } } {}

3.3 5 6 ÷ 5 2 size 12{ { { size 8{5} } over { size 8{6} } } div { { size 8{5} } over { size 8{2} } } } {}

3.4 -2 2 3 size 12{ { { size 8{2} } over { size 8{3} } } } {} ÷ -1 7 9 size 12{ { { size 8{7} } over { size 8{9} } } } {}

3.5 6 3 4 size 12{ { { size 8{3} } over { size 8{4} } } } {} mn ÷ -6 m 3

3.6 − 4 xy 3 ab ÷ − 2x 3a size 12{ { { size 8{ - 4 ital "xy"} } over { size 8{3 ital "ab"} } } div { { size 8{ - 2x} } over { size 8{3a} } } } {} -

Assessment

Learning outcomes(LOs)
LO 1
Numbers, Operations and RelationshipsThe 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 standards(ASs)
We know this when the learner:
1.2 recognises, classifies an represents the following numbers to describe and compare them:
1.2.2 decimals, fractions and percentages;
1.2.5 additive and multiplicative inverses;
1.2.6 multiples and factors;
1.2.7 irrational numbers in the context of measure­ment (e.g. π size 12{π} {} and square and cube roots of non-perfect squares and cubes);
1.3 recognises and uses equivalent forms of the rational numbers listed above;
1.6 estimates and calculates by selecting and using operations appropriate to solving problems that involve:
1.6.1 rounding off;
1.6.2 multiple operations with rational numbers (including division with fractions and decimals);
1.7 uses a range of techniques to perform calculations, including:
1.7.1 using the commutative, associative and distributive properties with rational numbers;
1.7.2 using a calculator;
1.9 recognises, describes and uses:
1.9.1 algorithms for finding equivalent fractions;
1.9.2 the commutative, associative and distributive properties with rational numbers (the expecta­tion is that learners should be able to use these properties and not necessarily to know the names of the properties).

Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.

nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
