Solving mathematical problemsAn equation is a combination of math expressions.
Word problems are a series of expressions that can be converted into an equation.
There are three steps to solving math word problems:
1. Layout your work in a logical manner using separate lines for each operation and keeping the numbers aligned in neat columns.
2. Translate the wording into a numeric equation that combines smaller "expressions".
3. Solve the equation!
Suggestions:
Read the problem fully - Get a feel for the whole problem.
List information and the variables you identify. Attach units of measure to the variables (gallons, miles, inches, litres, kilograms, metres etc.).
Define what answer you need; as well as its units of measure.
Work in an organized manner; working clearly will help you think clearly.
Draw and label all graphs and pictures clearly.
Note or explain each step of your process; it will help you track variables and remember their meanings.
Look for the "key" words; certain words indicate certain mathematical operations:
Key words for addition ( + )
Increased by; more than; combined together; total of; sum; added to
What is the sum of 8 and y?
Express the total weight of the mast (x) and antenna (y).
Key words for Subtraction ( - )
Less than, fewer than, reduced by, decreased by, difference of
What is four less than y?
What is the difference in the mass of the beams x and the columns y?

Topic aim
The aim of this topic is to reintroduce and revise the basics of mathematic operations.
Whole NumbersEssentially the definition of a whole number is based around what it does not contain. A whole number can not be a fraction of a number, a percentage, or have a decimal. If you have a number like 16.25 or 16¼, it has a whole number portion (16). But in itself, this number is not a whole number because it contains a decimal (.25) or a fraction (¼).
Whole numbers are simply the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 .......and so on, they continue and contain no fractions (½) or decimals (0.50).
The four operationsWith the increased usage of calculators, mobile phones and computers into the workplace and educational institutions to compute a simple set of numbers or formula, it is still very important to have a thorough understanding of the basic mathematical skills.
The four operations in mathematics are:
AddingSubtractingMultiplyingDividing
Everyone must know the 4 basic operations of addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (×) and division (÷), and how they are applied to whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.
SAMPLE

MEM30012A Apply mathematical techniques
Adding whole numbers
Addition is the process of uniting a series of two or more numbers into one sum or total, and is represented by the symbol +.
Each number being added is called an addend while the total, which is the answer to the addition problem, is called the sum.
3 addend 8 addend+ 2 addend + 3 addend
5 sum 11 sum
Adding numbers with 1 digit is pretty straightforward. In general, you can do it mentally or use your fingers. Adding zero to a number never changes the number. Look at the following problems and select the incorrect answer.
A B C D E F G H I5 6 4 3 2 6 7 1 8
+ 3 + 4 + 7 + 9 + 8 + 5 + 6 + 9 + 38 10 12 12 10 11 13 10 11
If you selected C you are correct as 4+7=11; NOT 12.
Adding numbers with 2 or more digits is a bit more challenging. So when we have to add 45 and 27 together the result can be determined using the Expanded Notation method or placing the numbers into columns and carrying numbers over.
Expanded Notation
To calculate the sum the numbers are broken down into basic elements:
45 = 40 (four tens) + 5 (ones)
27 = 20 (two tens) + 7 (ones)
The ones are totalled first 5 + 7 = 12 or 10 (ten - to be carried over) + 2 (ones).
The tens are totalled next, 40 + 20 + 10 (carried over) = 70 or 70 (tens) + 2 (ones) = 72.
Columns
The same result can be achieved by arranging the numbers into columns where the ones, tens, hundreds are lined vertically below each other.
45+27
72
SAMPLE

MEM30012A Apply mathematical techniques
The ones (right hand) column is totalled first, then the tens (next left), then the hundreds (3rd column from the right) and so on. Where the ones column totals more then 10, the number 0 to 9 is placed in the answer line and the ten number carried over to the ten column.

4 5 5 + 7 = 1 2
+ 2 7
7 2
Subtracting whole numbers
Subtract means to take away from. Subtracting whole numbers is the opposite of adding whole numbers and is represented by the symbol - (minus).
Instead of adding 2 numbers to get a sum, one number is removed from the other to get the difference. The following are simple subtractions:
8 9 6 10 15- 4 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 5
4 6 5 8 10
In the first example, if 8 – 3 = 5 is related to money, if you had $8 and bought an item for $3 you would have $5 remaining.
Subtractions with one digit are fairly simple however subtractions with 2 or more digits can become more complicated especially when a digit being subtracted is larger than the other digit; e.g. 82 – 7.
As in addition the result can be determined using the expanded notation or column methods.
Expanded Notation:
As with additions, the numbers are broken down into basic elements:
82 = 8 tens + 2 ones or 7 tens + 12 ones- 7 = - 7 ones - 7 ones
7 tens + 5 ones =75
In the above example, the 8-10’s is reduced to 7-10’s and the 2-1’s is increased to 12-1’s. The ones can then be subtracted (12 – 7 = 5) and added to the 7-10’s to give 75.
SAMPLE
Page 20 of 208 © TAFE NSW (TES, Industry Skills Unit Meadowbank) 2014
MEM30012A Apply mathematical techniques
Columns:
Since 7 can not be subtracted from 2, 10 is borrowed from the 10’s column and then paid back.
128 2
-1 77 5
In the above example, 10 is borrowed from the 8 to turn the 2 into 12 therefore 12–7=5; the borrowed 10 is then deducted from the tens column, 8 – 1 = 7. The final answer is 75.
Multiplying whole numbers
Numbers being multiplied are called Factors, while the result or answer to the multiplied figures is called the Product. A solid knowledge of the multiplication tables is recommended to successfully multiply.
The multiplication symbol is × (times).
3 factor 8 factor× 2 factor × 3 factor
6 product 24 product
The easiest multiplication we can perform is the one with one digit because all we need is a good recall of a multiplication table.
8 9 6 10 15× 4 × 3 × 1 × 0 × 532 27 6 0 25
Multiplying a two-digit number by a one-digit number is a little bit more fun but can easily be calculated using the Expanded Notation method.
Let’s look at 53 x 7 using the Expanded Notation and Columns methods.
Expanded Notation:
53 = 5 tens and 3 ones× 7 = × 7 ones
35 tens and 21 ones35 + 2 tens and 1 one
which gives us an answer of 371
The 21 ones break down to 2 tens and 1 one with the 2 tens being added to the 35 tens to give 37 tens and 1 one or 371.
SAMPLE

Columns:
As with addition and subtraction, multiplication can be done by laying the calculation out in column form.
Method 1:

Method 2:
2 carry over53 factor 7×3=21; place 1 on the product line and carry the 2
to the 10's column.× 7 factor371 product 7×5=35, 35+2=37; place 1 on the product line next
to the 2
Keep the columns neat and carry over numbers clearly and neatly.
Dividing whole numbers
Dividing whole numbers is the opposite of multiplying whole numbers. It is the process by which we try to find out how many times a number (divisor) is contained in another number (dividend). The resulting answer is called the quotient. The symbol used to designate divide is ÷.
6 quotient5 )30 dividend
divisor
Long Division
At times when the number or dividend is too long to simply divide, the Long Division method should be used to calculate the answer or quotient. The division is laid out in the same manner but there are several lines underneath, breaking up the long number into shorter sections.
Example 1-1
Divide 1645 by 7 or 1645 ÷ 7

Order of operations
Since the early days of ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, Mathematicians have agreed on a definite order of doing the 4 operations (+, – , ×, ÷ ) otherwise confusion would occur.
Working from left to right, multiplication and division are calculated before additions and subtractions.
• First: Work out any grouping of symbols or brackets.
• Second: Work out any multiplication and division as they occur from left to right.
• Third: Work out any addition and subtraction as they occur from left to right.
From the following example, which is the correct answer; A or B?
A 5 + 3 × 4 = 17B 5 + 3 × 4 = 32
As any multiplication must be done before any addition, then the answer would be 5+12=17, therefore answer A is correct. For B to be correct brackets must be placed around the 5 + 3 with the question appearing as (5 + 3) x 4 = 32.
The agreed Order of Operations is often remembered as B O D M A S or Brackets Of Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction.

Introduction to fractionsIt would be nice if all measurements and numbers in everyday engineering projects involved only whole numbers known as integers. However, in engineering this is an impossibility.
Some people may ask “In an age of metric measuring systems, why do we need to know about fractions?”.
Although the majority of drawings and manufactured objects produced in Australia are metric, some countries (e.g. United States of America) still work using the Imperial System and many drawings prepared for American companies, or drawings and components produced by American companies may be in Imperial measurements.
A fraction is part of a entire object which is broken into a number of equal parts, generally 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 16, 32, 64 etc.
A fraction is shown as 2 whole numbers, one over the other. The number on top is called the Numerator while the number on the bottom is called the Denominator.
