PREFACE

Dear Pupils,
This book, Mathematics for Grade 6, is written, to further improve your critical thinking and
problem solving skills. These acquired skills would soon be applied in your everyday lives.
This book contains nine chapters that cover the following content areas namely, numbers and
number sense, measurement, geometry, patterns and algebra, and statistics and probability. Each chapter
starts with a real-life problem that engages you to explore and explain this problem in relation to the
topic that you are about to learn. These topics are presented in such a way that it is easy to understand
and visualize.
The following are the special and unique features of the book:
Apart from the series of exercises in the Evaluate part, this book also contains Math Challenges.
These exercises require a higher level of thinking on your part. It may be in a form of a
riddle or any problem that you experience every day.

Integration of Learning includes unique activities that will allow you to apply what you
have learned in other subject matter, such as Science, Arts, Technology and Livelihood
Education, and others.

• Think A bout This enhances your critical think ng by asking a trick question that is aligned on
the topic discussed in the chapter. It aims to chi ,ck on your understanding of the subject matter.

• It also includes a hands-on activity or proje t that can be done individually or by group.
This can be found in the Enigma part at the nd of each chapter.

Learning mathematics is fun. It is not as difficult s you think. We hope that this book can help
you explore the world of mathematical concepts in relati n to your everyday life.

Fractions
Every year, an American company Mercer, surveys the different
cities around the world to determine which is the most and least livable.
In 2015, Metro Manila ranked 136th out of the 230 cities around the
world. Such low ranking has a negative impact on our country's image
to potential multinational investors. So, what do you think we can do
to improve ourselves and solve this dilemma?
Proper urban planning is one way. Urban planning aims to
maximize land and environment to ensure public welfare. Architects and
engineers play an important role in urban planning. They create and follow
blueprints to ensure every infrastructure would be erected as planned.
The mastery of fractions is essential to properly interpret these blueprints.
BIG QUESTION
In getting accurate measurements, basic arithmetic skills are
important. The study of arithmetic begins with whole numbers and

EXPLAIN
Similar Fractions
Addition involving fractions corresponds to combining or putting things together, just like
what you do in adding whole numbers, On the other hand, subtraction involves taking away or
deducting things just like subtraction of whole numbers.
Similar fractions are fractions with the same denominators. The procedure below will help
us to easily add or subtract fractions with common denominators.

To add or subtract similar fractions:


I Add or subtract the numerators
2 Write the sum or difference over the common denominator
Simplify or write the answer In lowest terms If necessary

Answer:

Dissimilar Fractions
Dissimilar fractions are fractions with different denominators. To add or subtract dissimilar
fractions, rewrite them as similar fractions first. The sum will be represented by adding the
numerators over the common denominator while the difference will be represented by subtracting
the numerators over the common denominator. Simplify the sum or difference : f needed.

To add or subtract dissimilar fractions:


I Determine the least common denominator (LCD)
Get the equivalent fractions using this denominator
Add or subtract the numerators. Then write the sum or difference
over the common denominator.
Simplify or write the answer in lowest terms if possible.

Multiplying Mixed Numbers


We notice that when we multiply fractions, we get the product of the numerators and the
denominators correspondingly. Now what if the given numbers are .mixed numbers? We need
to review first how to convert a mixed number to improper fraction. Consider the steps below.

Convert 5! to improper fraction.


Steps:
1. Multiply the whole number by the denominator: 5 x 2 = 10
2. Add the result to the numerator: 10 + 1 = 11

3. Write the sum over the denominator.


Now, to convert an improper fraction to a mixedfraction, divide the numerator by
the denominator.
DivIsor 4 becomes
the denominator of
the mixed number.

Quotient 3 becomes
I the whole number of

EXPLAIN
The word decimal comes from the Latin word decima, meaning tenth part. Although we
are using different notation, we are still considering the nonnegative rational numbers.
In Chemistry, the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.00794 amu. Use the place value chart to
read and understand this decimal number.

Point Thousandths Thousandths
1 0 0 7 9 4
1 1 I I I

10 100 1000 10000 100000

Use the place value chart to find the value of each digit of the atomic mass.

Digit Place Value


1 Ones(1) 1X11
0 Tenths(0. 1) 0 x 0.1 = 0
0 Hundredths(0.01) 0 x 00.1 = 0
7 Thousandths(0.001) 7 x 0.00 1 = 0.007
9 Ten Thousandths(0.0001) 9 X 0.000 1 0.0009
4 Hundred Thousandths(0.00001) 4 x 0.0000 1 = 0.00004

The decimal notation 1.00794 means:


(1 xl) + (0 x0.1) + (0 xO.01) + (7 x 0.001) + (9 x 0.0001) + (4 x 0.00001) = 1.00794.
We read it as one and seven hundred ninety-four hundred thousandths.

Read: one and seven hundred ninety-four hundredthousandths

Standard Form: 1 M0794

Example 1 Write a word name for 111.11.

One hundred eleven and eleven hundredths.

Example 2 Write 225.013 in words.

Two hundred twenty-five and thirteen thousandths.

Rounding Decimals
Rounding a decimal is a technique used to estimate or approximate values. Rounding is
commonly used to limit the number of decimal places.

To round a decimal number, determine first the rounding place. Then, look at the digit to
its right.

47
When to Round Up?

If the digit to the right of the rounding place is greater than or equal to
5, add I to the digit in the rounding place and drop all the digits to its right
For example, if we round 2 36 to the nearest tenths it can be rounded
up to 24

When to Round Down?


I
If the digit to the right of the rounding place is four or less (4, 3, 2, 1, 0
we round down This is done by leaving the last decimal place as it is given
and discarding all the digits to its right
For example if we round 74 924 to the nearest hundredths, it can be
rounded down to 7492

Example 3 Round 0.27 to the nearest tenth.

Here is part of a number line.

<I I I 1 :i I I I I I I>
0.20 0.21 0.22 0.23 0.24 0.25 0.26 0.27 0.28 0.29 0.30

We see that 0.27 is closer to 0.30 than 0.20. Thus, 0.27 rounded to the nearest
tenths is 0.3.

Example 4 Round 785.840783 to the nearest:

a. hundreds 800

b. tens 790

c. thousandths 785.841

d. ten thousandths 785.8408


e. hundred thousandths 785.84078

Estimating Sums and Differences
Kryzzia bought these items at the groceiy: bath soap — p28.60, shampoo — P8.30, powder
1O.25, and toothpaste — p35.55. About how much did she spend?

We can answer the question without computing for the exact sum. Let's just estimate the
amount she spent. Examples 5 and 6 show how estimation works using two different methods.

Example 5 Estimate: 28.60 + 8.30 + 10.25 + 35.55

Method I

Using front-end estimation

28+8+10+35=81 Add the whole numbers.

0.60 + 0.30 + 0.25 + 0.55 Adjust the sum.

Estimate: p83.00

Method 2

Rounding to the nearest whole number

29+8+10+36=83 Round each number to the nearest


whole number. Then, add.

Estimate: 83.00

Answer: Kryzzia spent about 83.00.

Example 6 Estimate the difference: 674.5923 — 233.4054

Using front-end estimation


674-233=441 Subtract the whole numbers.
0.5923 — 0.4054 Adjust the difference.
Estimate: 441

Rounding to the nearest tenths


674.6-233.4 441.2 Round to the nearest tenths, then
subtract.
441.2 441 Round the result.
Estimate: 441

49
Adding and Subtracting Decimals
Adding and subtracting decimals is similar to the process of adding and subtracting
whole numbers.

To add or subtract decimal numbers:


I Arrange tha digits in columns and ahgn the decimal points
2. Insert zeros in empty decimal place values (if needed) so that all
of the numbers have the same number of decimal places
Add or subtract as with whole numbers.
Place the decimal point between the digits vertically aligned to all
the addends.

Example 7 Add: 0.25 + 0.33 + 0.18. Example 8 Find the sum of 2.4 and 123.057.

Example 9 What is the difference when (43.67 + 125.5) is subtracted from (453.45-234.56)?

Find the difference of (453.45 —234.56).


453.45 —234.56 = 218.89

Find the sum of (43.67 + 125.5).


43.67 + 125.5 = 169.17

Subtract the sum (step 2) from the difference (step 1). 218.89— 169.17 = 49.72
Answer: 49.72

KEY IDEAS

• In rounding decimals,
1. round up if the digit to the right of the rounding place is greater than or equal to five; and
2. round down if the digit to the right of the rounding place is four or less (4, 3, 2, 1, 0).

• There are two ways of estimating sums and difference. One is by using front-end estimation,
and the other one is by rounding to the nearest whole number.

• To add or subtract decimal numbers:


1. Arrange the digits in columns and align the decimal points.
2. Insert zeros in empty decimal place values (if necessary) so that all of the numbers have
the same number of decimal places.
3. Then, add or subtract.

Multiplying a decimal by a whole number will result to a product with the same number
of decimal places as to the given decimal. Look at the next examples.

Examplel 4x1.2=
1.2
1.2 1.2 — 1 decimal place
1.2 >
+ 1.2 4.8 E— 1 decimal place
4.8

Example 2 Multiply 42.25 x 12

42.25 — 2 decimal places


12 —* 0 decimal places
8450
+ 422 5
507.00 —. 2 decimal places

Answer: 507

Zero in the Product


Sometimes when we multiply decimals, we need to insert zeros in the product to make
the correct number of decimal places.

Example 3

a. Multiply: 0.05 x 0.07 b. Multiply: 0.23 x 0.05


0.05 2 decimal places 0.23 2 decimal places

Multiplying Decimals
In multiplying a decimal by another decimal, multiply them as if they are whole numbers.
In placing the decimal point in the product, get the sum of the number of decimal places in
each factor.

Example 4 Multiply: 0.86 x 0.05 Example 5 Multiply: 12.19 X 6.3


0.86 4— 2 decimal places 12.19 f— 2 decimal places
x 0.05 — 2 decimal places x 6.3 4— 1 decimal place
430 3657
+000 +7314
000 76.797 4-- 3 decimal places
0.0430 4-- 4 decimal places

To multiply decimals:

1. Ignore the decimal points and multiply as if they are


whole numbers
2 Place the decimal point in the product based on the total
number of decimal places in the factors
Note Count the number of decimal places from the right

Multiplication by Powers of 10
Now, let us consider some special kind of products. The first involves multiplying 10,
100, and 1000. Next is multiplying by 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001. Look at the following products.

Example 6 Consider the following examples.


5.17 x 10 = 51.7 move the decimal point one step to the right
5.17 x 100= move the decimal point two steps to the right
5.17 x 1000 = 5jj, move the decimal point three steps to the right
5.17 x 0.1 0.517 move the decimal point one step to the left
5.17 x 0.01 = 0.05 17 move the decimal point two steps to the left
5.17 x 0.001 = 0.00517 move the decimal point three steps to the left

Eiample 7 Multiply 5.17 by 10 million


5.17 x 10 000 000 = 5.1700000, move 7 decimal plces to the right

Example 8 Multiply 5.17 by 1 millionth


5.17 x 0.000001 = 099. 905 17 move the decimal point 6 decimal places
to the left

58
To multiply a decimal by 10, 100, or 1000:
1 count the number of zeros in 10 100 or 1000
2 move the decimal point to the right based on the number
of zeros.

To multiply decimals by 0.1, 0.01. or 0.001:


count the number of decimal places in the tenth,
hundredth, or thousandth
move the decimal point to the left based
of decimal places

Estimating Products
We can find the estimated product of decimals by rounding each number to its largest
place value.

Example 9 Estimate the product of 5.23 x 4.547.

Solution:
5.23 -+ 5 Round off both factors to the nearest whole number.
x 4.54 -+ 5j Then, multiply.

12.3 -+ 12 Round off both factors to the nearest
x 4.8 -~ whole number. Then, multiply.
60

Answer: The estimated product is 60.

Example 11 Estimate the product: 62.11 x 9.75


62.11 -* 62 Round off both factors to the nearest
x 9.75 - x 10 whole number. Then, multiply.

Dividing Decimals by Powers of 10


Rather than doing the long method, it is a great help if we can learn a faster way of dividing
decimals by powers of ten.
Consider the following examples.
5.29 ± 10 = 0,29 Move the decimal point one decimal place to the left.
5.29 ± 100 = 0929 Move the decimal point two decimal places to the left.
5.29 ± 1000 = 0.00529 Move the decimal point three decimal places to the left
5.29 ~ 0.1 = 59 Move the decimal point one decimal place to the right.
5.29 - 0.01 = 5, Move the decimal point two decimal places to the right.
5.29 ~ 0.00 1 = Move the decimal point three decimal places to the right.

Example 4 Divide: 3.0745 ~ 100

3.0745 ± 100 = 0.030745 Move two decimal places to the left.

When dividing decimals by 10, 100, or 1000, move


the decimal point in the dividend to the left based on the
number of zeros tn the power of 10

69
Example 5 Divide: 1.8942 0.001

1.8942 ± 0.001 = 1894.2 Move three decimal places to the right.

When dividing decimals by 0.1, 0.011.or 0.001, move the decimal


point in the dividend to the nght based on the number of zeros in the
power of 10

0.3 75 is a terminating decimal.

In Example 7, the digit 8 in the quotient keeps on appearing. When the digits repeat, it is
described as a repeating decimal. The three dots (...) or a bar are used to indicate the repeating
part of a decimal number.
Decimals are often used instead of fractions to represent rational numbers because they
take less space and make it easier to compare two numbers. Reading a decimal correctly provides
a way to write it in fraction form.

Estimating Quotients
Estimating has many uses. It can be done before solving a problem to get a hint to the
answer. It can also be done afterwards for checking. We usually estimate by rounding the
numbers to one or two non-zero digits, depending on how accurate we want our estimate to be.

To estimate the quotient of decimals, round the dividend


and divisor to the greatest place value before dividing

Example 8 Divide: 52.7 ~ 5.25


____
10
5.25)52.7 ) 5j 10 is our estimated decimal quotient.

In some instances rounding numbers are not easy to divide mentally. That is why we should
look for compatible numbers. These numbers are close to the dividend and divisor which are
easy to divide.

71
Example 9 Divide: 50.7 ~ 7.25.
? 7
7.25)50.7 -* 7Ji -* Use 7J 7 is the estimated decimal quotient.
Estimating a quotient first is a good way to check if the answer is reasonable. Sometimes
you will need to insert zeros in the quotient as placeholders.

Example 10 Divide: 0.3924 ~ 18. Check if your answer is reasonable.

1. Estimate using compatible numbers. 2. Divide.

A common application of numbers in real-life is through ratio and


proportion. Sometimes, we compare things between each other to make
better decisions, and ratio and proportion deals with such comparisons.
Also, through this concept, we can determine how much of a material,
ingredient, thing, or object is needed, for example, in baking, cooking,
and budgeting.
In budgeting, ratio and proportion comes in many forms. How
much allowance do you receive from your parents? Does your older

situations?
Questions such as these can be answered accurately by learning
the concepts and applications of ratio and proportion discussed in

EXPLORE
To compare, let us use the concept of ratio. Ratio is a comparison
of two quantities. If there are 22 girls and 19 boys, we can say that 22
is to 19. Other ways to express such comparison, is by writing them
using a colon, 22:19 or writing them in fraction fonn, . Therefore,
comparing the number of boys to the number of girls can be expressed as:

19 is to 22, 19:22, or

BIG IDEA
Ratio is the spoken language of arithmetic. It is a way of comparing
two or more quantities having the same units — the quantities may be The concept of ratio
separate entities or they may be different parts of a whole. is used to compare
two or more
We can write the ratio of a and b in three ways: quantities with the
a same units.
word form — a is to b colon form —* a:b fraction form —

83
Ratio must be expressed in simplest form, which means that the terms are relatively prime
to each other.
If there are 15 boys and 12 girls in a class, then, the ratio of the boys to the girls is 15 is
to 12 and the ratio of the girls to the boys is 12 is to 15. In the ratio 15 is to 12, the first term
is 15 and the second term is 12. It may also be written as 15:12 or Even if the ratio is in
12
fractional form, we say fifteen is to twelve. Since the ratio is not yet in its simplest form, we
can express it as:

15 x 55
12 IX4 4.

The order in which the ratio is expressed is important. Therefore, the order of the terms
in a ratio must correspond to the order of objects being compared.
In a ratio, a part can be compared to its whole.
In the preceding example, the ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students
is 15 is to 27 and the ratio of the number of girls to the total number of students is 12 is to 27.
If we compare the part to the total, the ratio of the part to the total has the same meaning
as a fraction.

Example 1 Compare the number of vowels to consonants and vice versa in the word
MATHEMATICS, in word, colon, and fraction forms.
Vowels —A, B, and I—* 3
Consonants - M, T, H, C, and S -~ 5
Ratio of vowels to consonants:

word form -~ 3 is to 5 colon form -* 3:5 fraction form - -


5
Ratio of consonants to vowels:

word form -p 5 is to 3 colon form -* 5:3 fraction form -* -

Example 2 Express the ratio of two 25-centavo coins to 2.5O coins in colon form.
Simplify.
We need to make sure that the two quantities have the same units. 2.5O may
consist often 25-centavo coins. Thus, we can express the ratio of the two quantities
as 2:10. In simplest form, the ratio of two 25-centavo coins to P2.50 coins is 1:5.
Remember: The ratio of two quantities has NO unit of measure.

Example 3 Write ratios equivalent to


3x2 6 3x4 12 3x618 3x927
5x2 - 10 5x4 - 20 5x630 5x945

84
As we have seen in the previous examples, the quantities being compared in any given
ratio have the same unit or classification. For example, when we compare the lengths of two
objects measuring 45 cm and 1 m respectively, we say that the ratio of the lengths is 45 to 100
or 9:20. This is because there are 100 cm in 1 m. Both terms, 45 and 100, are expressed in the
same unit—that is, cm. Another example is when we compare the number of boys to the number
of girls. The terms of the ratio are of the same classification—they are.both persons. We say, the
ratio of 15 boys to 20 girls is 3:4.
There are instances when the terms of the ratio do not have the same units or classifications.
For example, 60 kilometers to an hour or 60 kilometers per hour. This special ratio is called rate.

Example 4 Joshua scored 168 points in 7 basketball games. Express in lowest terms, the average
rate of the number of points that Joshua scored in every game.

168 points — 24 points = 24 points/game


Rate= —

Example 5 Joana can type 288 words in 8 minutes. How many words can she type per minute?

288 words — 36 words = 36words/niinute


Rate — —

Applications and Problem Solving


Example 6 Sheena and Nikka joined the ladies' basketball tryout. Sheena scored 34 points in
her two games while Nikka scored 51 in her three games. Whose average .point
per game is higher?

Understand.
a. What is asked?
Who between Sheena and Nikka hasthe highest average point per game.
b. What is given?
24 • Sheena scored 34 points in two games
• Nikka scored 51 points in 3 games

Plan.
What strategy can we use to solve the problem? We can solve for each lady's
average points per game and compare them to know who has the higher average.

Solve.
Sheena's Average Points:
34 points = 17 points = 17 points/game
2 games 1 game

85
Nikka's Average Points:
51 points 17 points
- 17 points/game
3 games 1 game
Answer: Therefore, between the two of them, no one scored higher. Both
Sheena and Nikka's average points per game is 17.

Check.
We can check if our answer is correct by dividing the number of points by
their number of games.
34 ~ 2 = 17 and 51 ~ 3 = 17. Thus, our answer is correct.

EXPLAIN
When two ratios are equal, a proportion is formed.
A proportion is a statement of equality between two ratios. Each part of a proportion is a
term. The first and the last terms are called extremes while the second and the third terms are
called means.

In the proportion -2-- = or 9:324 = 15:n, 9 and n are the extremes, while 324 and 15
are the means. 325 12

In a proportion, the cross products of equal ratios are equal.

If-=-,then ad=bc.

Thus, the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes.

Speed varies inversely with time of travel because the faster we
go, the shorter the time of travel.

92
Example 1 It takes Kevin 20 minutes to ride hi bicycle at 20kph from home to the grocery
store. To shorten his travel time to 16 minutes for the same distance, how fast
should he cycle?
Solution:
Let the desired speed be x kph. Then we have the following table.
Speed (kph) 20 x
Time (in minutes) 20 16

The faster the bicycle is driven, the less time is required to reach the destination.
So, this is an inverse proportion.

After: Arvin U. 80

SI
Luigi

The illustration above shows that Arvin gave 80 marbles to Luigi; Arvin's number of
marbles became half that of Luigi 's.
Notice that the 2 equal parts represent 80 marbles. So, 80 ±2 40.
Hence, each part is 40, and 8 x 40 = 320. Therefore, Arvin has 320 marbles at first.

EXPLAIN

Definition of Percent
The word percent comes from the Latin term "per centum," which means per hundred.
Percent is the ratio that compares a number to 100. You can write percent as a fraction with a
denominator of 100. The symbol % is called the percent sign. In general, the notation n% means
"n per hundred".
This definition leads us to different ways of expressing percent.

The notation n% can be expressed using:

ratio - = the ratio of n to 100


100

fraction notation — =nx or

decimal notation —+n% = n x 0.01 = O.Olti

To write a fraction as percent:

Wnte an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100 Or,


think of a number that, when multiplied by the denominator
will result to 100. Multiply the same number by the
numerator. Then, write as percent.

Writing Decimals as Percents


To change decimals to percents, use either of the following methods.

I
Method I

To change decihaJ to percent, multiply the decimal


number by 100, then write the percent sign (%)

104
Example 9

a. Write 0.35 as a percent.


0.35 =0.35 x 100=35%

b. Write 1.25 as a percent.


1.25=1.25 x 100= 125%

c. Write 2.63 as a percent.


2.63 =2.63 x 100=263%

d. Write 0.45 as a percent.


0.45 =0.45 x 100=45%

In example 9, notice that when you multiply the decimal numbers by 100, the decimal
point is moved two places to the right. This leads us to method 2.

Method 2

To change decimal to percent, move the decimal point


two places to the right and write the percent sign (%)

Example 10 Change the following decimals as percents.


a. 0.26 26%
b. 0.534 04 53.4%
C. 5.75Q,z570%

Example 11 a. Change 0.3333... to an exact percent.

0.3333... 33.33... — Move 2 decimal places to the right

= 33 — Since we have a repeating decimal, write the


10 — 1 repeating digit 3 in the numerator over 10— 1 (if we
have a one—digit repeating decimal).
= 33 — Write in lowest terms, then attach the percent sign.

= 33.%

105
b. Change 2.666... to an exact percent.

2.6666... = 266.66... -+ Move 2 decimal places to the right.

6
= 266 -+ Since we have a repeating decimal, write the
hi 1
repeating digit 6 in the numerator over 10— 1 (if we
have one—digit repeating decimal).

= 266 - Write in lowest terms, then attach the percent sign.


9

= 266%

Writing Percents as Decimals


We can write any percent as a decimal. To easily express a percent to a decimal, let us
review first how to divide numbers with 10, 100, or 1000 as a divisor.
25 ~ 10=2.5
25~100=0.25
25 ± 1000 = 0.025
Looking at the quotient of these numbers, you will notice a certain pattern. We can simply
move the decimal point to the left of the dividend depending on the number of zero(s) we have
in our divisor.
25 ± 10 = 2.5 -p One zero in the divisor, one movement of the decimal point to the
left.

25 ~ 100 = Two zeros in the divisor, two movements of the decimal point to
the left.

25 ± 1000 = Three zeros in the divisor, three movements of the decimal


point to the left.

Now, we can use this technique to easily write percent to decimal.

To write a percent to a decimal;

Write as a fraction with the denominator of 100.


Dividing, a number by 100 means moving the decimal point
two decimat places to the left.
Drop the % sign.

106
Example 12 Change the following percents as decimals.

a. 97%
This is the same with 97 ~ 100.
97%=-= 0.97 Use the technique in dividing
00 numbers with 100 as divisor.

b. 5.7%

5.7% = 0.057

appropriate
strategies and In the situation given above, we can say that:
tools. 30% of P40.00 is P12.00.
In this case, we can now easily identifr which is the percentage,
the rate, or the base. We let P be the percentage, R be the rate, and B
be the base.
P12.00 is the percentage (P) — It is the number or the amount that
represents a part of a whole.
30% is the rate (R) —* It is the number compared to 100. It
usually has either a percent sign (%)
or the word "percent" with it.
P40.00 is the base (B) —+ It is the number that represents the
whole or the entire amount.

EXPLAIN
The situation above can also be described as:

30% of 40 is 12 —+30% x40= 12

Rate (R) x Base (B) = Percentage (P)

Based on this, we can now generate formula for finding the per-
centage (P), the rate (R), and the base (B).

112
Formulas for FInding Percentage, Rate, and Base

P = percentage; R = rate; B = base

The Techan's triangle above can help you remember the three formulas. To find the
percentage (F) cover F; since R and B are next to each other, it means multiplication. To find
the base (B), cover the B; since P is over R, it means division. And to find rate (R), cover R;
since P is over B, it means division.
Let us study the following examples.

EXPLAIN
A percent of change indicates how much a quantity increases or de'creses with respect
to the original amount. Whenever there is a change (increase or decrease), it can be expressed
as a percent of increase or of decrease. If the new amount or value is greater than the original
amount or value, the percent of change is calledpercent of increase. If the new amount or value
is less than the original amount or value, the percent of change is called percent of decrease.
To find the percent of change, use the following formula.
Amount of increase or decrease
Percent of change -

a. What is asked?
An LPG tank's amount of decrease from its original price and its new price.
b. What are the given facts?
Original price is P7 10.00, the LPG's new price has decreased by 5%.

Plan.

We can use the following formulas to solve the problem.


To get the amount of decrease:
amount of decrease percent of decrease x original amount
To get the new price:
new price = original amount x (100% — percent of decrease)

Solve.
Finding the amount of decrease, we have:
amount of decrease = percent of decrease x original amount
= 5% x 710
=0.05 x 710
= 35.50
Answer: The amount has decreased by p35.50.

new price = original amount x (100% — percent of decrease)


= 710x (100% — 5%)
=710x95%
=710x0.95

Discount for 3 pairs of sandals = '300.00
Since we have 120 sandals sold, then:
120x100=12,000.00or120~3x300=l2,000.00

Discount, Sale Price, and Markup

Sometimes, you see an advertisement of a sale where the prices are reduced. The amount
of reduction is called discount. If the discount is 50%, it means that the items are sold at "50%
ofF' or at "half price." To get the amount of discount, use this formula:
Discount (D) = Discount Rate (DR) x Original Price (OP) or D = DR x OP

The following terms are used in dealing with discount problems.


Discount (D) is a decrease in the price of an item. It refers to the amount to be
deducted from the original price.
Original Price (OP) is the regular price charged of the item.
Discount Rate (DR) is the percent taken off from the original price
Sale Price (SP) is also known as the net price or discounted price. It is the price of
the item after the discount has been deducted.

131
Discount and net price both represent percentage, original price represents the base,
the discount rate represents the rate.

The following formulas are used in solving discount problems.


a. Discount (0) = Discount Rate (DR) x Original Price (OP)
or 0= DR x OP
Discount (D) 0
Original Price (OP) - . or OP = —
Discount Rate (DR) DR
Discount (D) D
c. Discount Rate (OR) = x 100% or DR = — x 100%
Original Price (or) op
Sale Price (SP) = Original Price (OP) - Discount (0)

SP = OP - D
Sale Price (SP) = Original Price (OP) x (100% - Discount Rate (OR))

Example 1 Lyka waited until after summer to buy a dress. She found one amo'unting to
p2,500.00 and was selling at a discount of 40%. How much did she save by
waiting? How much did she pay for the dress?
Solution:
DR = 40%, OP = p2,500.00, D =?
Using the discount formula, we have:
D = p2,500 x 40%
= ?2,500 x 0.40
D = !l,000.00
Computing for the sale price:
SP = OP—D
= 2,500 — 1,000
SP = ?l,500.00
Answer: Lyka saved 1,000.00 and paid 1,500.00 for the dress.

Example 2 A wristwatch was sold for 2,100.00 with a 16% discount. What was the original
price of the wristwatch?
Solution:
SP = 2,100.00, DR = 16%, OP =?
Using the formula for sale price, we have:
SP=OPx(100%—DR)
2100 = OP x (100% — 16%) Substitute the given.

132

2100=OPx84%
2100 = OP x 0.84 Change 84% to decimal.
2100 OP x 0.84

p2,500.00 = OP
Answer. The original price of the wristwatch is p2,500.00.
Let's say, the owner wants to add a particular amount on items or goods that he/she sells
for profit. From its original amount, the amount to be added is the markup and the new amount
is called the selling price.
Study the following terms.
• Markup (M) is the increase in the price of an item.
• Markup Rate (MR) is the percent to be added to the cost of the item.
• Cost (C) s the original amount of the item.
• Selling Price (SP) i the amount of the item after the markup has been added to
the cost.
Markup and selling price both represent percentage, cost represents the base, and the
markup rate represents the rate.

Formula:
• Markup (M) = Cost (C) x Markup Rate (MR)
Markup (M)
Markup Rate
(MR) - Cost (C)
Markup (M)
Cost=
Markup Rate (MR)
Selling Price (SP) = Cost (C) + Markup (M) = C x (100% + MR)

Example 3 In a bookstore, the owner adds a markup of p3.30 on all the products. What is the
markup rate of a notebook that costs 33.00?
Solution:
M= 3.30,C= 33.00,MR=?
Using the markup rate formula, we have:

MR = - x 100%
C

Commission

When someone sells or buys goods for another, one usually receives a certain percent of
the sales or purchases. The amount received is called the commission.
Study the following terms.
• Commission (C) is an amount of money a person receives for selling something.
• Total Sales (TS) is the total amount of sales made by the salesperson.
Commission Rate (CR) is the percent taken off from the selling price.
Sale Proceeds (SP) is the amount that remains after the commission has been deducted
from the total sales.
The commission and sale proceeds both represent percentage, total sales represents the
base, and the commission rate represents the rate.

Formulas:
Commission (C) = Total sales (TS) Commission Rate (CR)
C = TS x CR

Sale Proceeds (SP) = Total Sales (TS) — Commission (C)
SP = TS — C
TSx(100%—CR)

Example 4 Mr. Baclaya, a real estate agent, receives a 5% commission on the property he
sells. What is his commission if he sold a lot at P1,04O,O0O.O0?
Solution:
TS=l,040,000;CR=5%;C=?
Using the commission formula, we have:
C=TSx CR
= 1,040,000 x 5% Substitute the given.
= P1,040,000 x 0.05 Change 5% to decimal.
C= p52,000.00
Answers. Mr. Baclaya's commission is P52,000.00.

134
Example 5 Last month, Mr. Baclaya was given a commission of 80,O00 at 8% commission
rate for selling some properties. Find the total amount of the properties he sold.
Solution:
C= p80,000, CR = 8%, TS=?
Using the total sales formula, we have:

TS=--
CR
— P80,000
8%
= 80,000 Change 8% to decimal.
0.08
TS = N,000,000.00
Answer: Mr. Baclaya had a total sales of 1,000,000.00.

Sales Tax
When someone buys goods or items in a supermarket, restaurant or fast food, the purchases
are subject to sales tax. This form of sales tax is commonly known as VAT (Value Added Tax).

SALES TAX FORMULA


Sales Tax = Total amount of products x Rate of sales tax

However, not all types of sales use the term VAT. For instance, a real estate property may
have different forms of taxation aside from the VAT.
Consider the next problem.

Example 7 A group of Grade 6 pupils ate in a fast food restaurant. If their orders totaled
750.00 plus a 12% VAT, how much is the total amount they paid to the cashier?
Given: Total amount of products = p750.00
Rate of sales tax = 12% (VAT)
Find: The total amount the group paid to the cashier.

Solution:
Sales tax Total amount of products x Rate of sales tax
=75Øx 12% Substitute.
=750x0.12 Change 12% to decimal.
Sales tax = 90.00

135
Computing for the total amount, we have:
Total amount = P75O + sales tax
=75O+9O
=84O
Answer: The total amount they paid to the cashier is 84O.00.

Simple Interest

When someone deposits his money in a savings bank, the bank will pay him a small amount
for the use of his money. This amount is called interest.
Study the following terms.
• Interest (1) is an amount of money earned for using another's money over a period
of time.
• Principal (P) is the amount of money deposited, invested, or borrowed.
• Rate of Interest (R) is the percent added to the principal amount borrowed or invested.
• Time (I) is the length of time the money has been deposited or borrowed. Time is
always computed in terms of year.
• Amount Due (AD) is the total amount to be paid or received after a certain period
of time that the principal has been borrowed or deposited.

•Formulas:
• lnfrc (A = P'iri t) x Rate of Interest (R) x Time (T)

Consider the following examples.

Example 8 Jaypee opens a savings account in National Commercial Bank where the money
earns 1.5% interest per year. If he has p7,500.00 in his account, how much interest
will the money earn in one year?
Solution:
P=7,500.00,R= 1.5%, T= 1 year,I=?
Using the interest formula, we have:
J=pxRxT
= P7,500 x 1.5% x 1 Substitute the given.
= P7,500 x 0.015 x 1 Change 1.5% to decimal. Then, multiply.
I = N12.50
Answer: The amount of interest the money will earn in one year is 112.50.

Example 9 Coach Bernard borrowed money from his friend at 8% simple interest. If he paid
an interest of p480.00 after 18 months, how much money did he borrow?
Solution:

ENGAGE
This morning your mother gave you P30.00 as your allowance.
During recess time you went to the school canteen to buy your snack.
The following are the prices of the snacks:
Sandwich P 10.00
Pancit P 15.00
Drinks 12.00
Will your allowance be enough to buy all desired snacks? BIG IDEA

Integers are
EXPLORE composed of positive
and negative
What numbers representyour allowance and the expenses at the counting numbers,
school canteen? and zero.

Since your allowance is not enough to buy your desired snack,


knowing the total cost is p37.00, this means you still need P7.00 to
buy your snack.

145
In this case, your expenses is more than your allowance. This situation gives us the idea
of negative numbers. Negative numbers have values less than 0. Positive numbers are. the
counting or natural numbers. Zero and positive numbers make up the set of whole numbers.
Positive numbers together with zero and negative numbers are called integers. In the set of
integers, your income is represented by a positive number while the expenses are represented
by negative numbers.

EXPLAIN
Real-life situations can be represented by integers. For example, if a temperature reading is
25 degrees above zero, we say it is +25, and -25 if it is 25 degrees below zero. Another example
is when you gained weight of 2 kg, which can be represented by +2. If you lose weight of 3 kg,
it can be represented by -3.

Example 1 Write an integer to represent each situation:


a. gain of 5 points +5
b. 8 steps backward -8
c. a loss of 100 pesos -100

The set of integers consists of the following:


{. . . ,-5,-4,-3,--2,-1,0, 1,2,3,4,5,..
One way to represent integers is through a number line.
Observe the number line below.

I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I I I-
-10 —9 —8 —7 —6 —5 —4 —3 —2 —1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 +10

To the right of 0 are the positive integers, while to its left are the negative integers.
Imagine folding the line at point 0, you will notice that I will fall at -1, 2 at -2, and 3 at
-3. They are called the mirror images or opposites.
Any integer has its opposite. The opposite of +7 is -7. The opposite of +8 is -8. Two
integers are opposites if they are of the same distance from 0.
Opposites

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
—7 —6 —5 —4 —3 —2 —1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7

Negative integers Positive integers

146
We can use the number line to compare and arrange integers.

-10 9 8 7 6 5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 +10

Integers can be positioned and ordered on a number line.


As we move to the right on the number line, the numbers get larger in value. As we move
to the left, the values get smaller. From the number line above, we can see that a positive integer
is greater than zero. Similarly, negative integers are less than zero. How do we compare both
positive or both negative numbers? Study the following examples.

Example 2 Compare the following pair of integers.

a. +8,+7 b. —6,-7 c. +ll,+13 d. —12,—li


Answers:
By observing the number line, we can say the following:
a. +8 is to the right of +7. Therefore, +8 > +7.
b. —6 is to the right of-7. Therefore, —6 > —7.
c. +11 is to the left of+13. Therefore, +11 <+13.
d. —12 is.to the left of—il. Therefore, —12 <-11.

Example 3 Write the integer represented by each situation.


a. The temperature is 18°C below 0.
b. The altitude is 75 m above sea level.
c. The corals are 15 m below sea level.
d. He has a weight loss of 5 kg.
e. She spent P375.00 for a dress.
Solution:
The word "above" implies an increasing value of a number and is referring
to a positive integer, while the word "below" implies a decreasing value and is
referring to a negative integer.
Answers:
a. —18 d —5
b. +75 e. —375
C. —15

Applications and Problem Solving

Example 6 A messenger forgot on what floor in a building he would deliver his package. With
no one to ask for directions, he rode the elevator up to the 10th floor. Then he went
down 5 floors and went up again 4 floors. Still, he could not find the right floor.
So he went up again 6 floors, then down again 3 floors and decided to stop for a
while. On what floor did the messenger stop?

Understand.

a. What is asked?
The floor where the messenger stopped.
b. What are the given facts?
• First stop: 10th floor
• down 5 floors
• up 4 floors
• up 6 floors

Plan.

Strategy: Use a number line to find the location of the messenger.


Solve.

Using a number line, we will follow the directions of the elevator and locate
where the messenger stopped. We will start at 0 as the starting point of the elevator's
movement.

Answer: Therefore, the messenger stopped at the 12th floor.

Check.

We can check if our answer is correct through addition and subtraction.


Following the elevator's directions, the upward movement represents addition
while the downward movement represents subtraction. So, we have the elevator's
movement as follows:
up to the 10th floor —* down 5 floors —+ up 4 floors —+ up 6 floors —+ down 3 floors
10 —5 +4 +6 —3
Thus, our formulated equation is:
10-5+4+6-3 12

Therefore, the answer is correct..

KEY IDEAS
• The number line goes indefinitely in both directions. These are indicated by the arrows.
• Integers greater than zero are called positive integers. These integers are found on the
right side of zero on the number line.
• Integers less than zero are called negative integers. These integers are found on the left
side of zero on the number line.
• The integer zero is neutral. It is neither positive nor negative.
• The sign of an integer is either positive (+) or negative (—), except zero, which has no sign.
• Two integers are opposites if they are each of the same distance from zero. They are on
opposite sides of the number line. One has a positive sign, the other a negative sign.

To know whether Mrs. Reyes gained or lost, we have to combine
of integers using
approfriate her total sales which will then be compared with her capital. By solving,
strategies and we have:
tools
(+800) + (+500) + (-400) = 900
Therefore, the total sales from Monday to Wednesday is P'900.00.
Comparing this to the capital of '700.00, we can say that Mrs. Reyes
gained '200.00 since her total sales of'900.00 is more than her capital
which is '700.00.

EXPLAIN
Addition is the same as "combining". How do we combine integers?
Study the number line below.
Examples:
(+4) + (±3) = -1-7
4-7
I +3

—7 —6 —5 —4 —3 —2 —1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7

(-7) +4= -3

+4 - -3

-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7

In using the number line for adding integers:


• Always start at zero.
• Add a positive integer by moving to the right on the number line.
• Add a negative integer by moving to the left on the number line.

Shown below are the tiles colored white and black. Let the black tiles represent positive
integers, while the white tiles represent negative integers.

What happens when we put together 1 black tile and another black tile?

I
This will produce 2 black tiles.

U
Now, how about if we put together 1 white tile and another white tile?

Efl
This will produce two white tiles.

What will happen if we put together 1 black tile and 1 white tile?

Observe that the two tiles represent opposite signed numbers which are positive and negative.
Any number paired to its opposite will produce a "zero pair." They cancel each other out.
A zero pair is a pair of numbers whose sum is zero.

153
Example 1 Show the sum of +2 and +4 using tiles.
Let us show first +2 using the tiles.

Then do the same for +4.

Now, we get the sum of +2 and +4. To get the sum of two positive integers,
we simply put them together. Now, the result will be

As we combine the tiles, we can see that the result will be 6 tiles.
Therefore, the sum of +2 and +4 is +6.

Example 2 Show the sum of +5 and —2 using tiles.


Let us show fIrst +5 using the tiles.

Then do the same for —2. But note that we will use white tile since it is a
negative integer.

fin
Now, we get the sum of +5 and —2. To get the sum, we will use the zero pair.
We do this by eliminating the tiles with pair. Then, the result will be:

There are 3 black tiles remaining.


Therefore, the sum of +5 and —2 is +3.

Observe the signs of the addends and the sum. From the above examples, we may
conclude that:
• If the addends have the same sign, the numbers are added and the common sign is
affixed to the sum.
If the addends have different signs, the signs are first disregarded and the difference
between the numbers is obtained. The sign of the greater number is affixed to the
answer. (Take note that signs are also disregarded when determining the greater
number.)

EXPLAIN
Referring to the previous example, we can see that by using the
operation on subtraction we arrived at the answer which is 4. One of
the ways to subtract integers is by using tiles.
Study the following examples.

I. - - J I. - - .1 S. - - J

Take away 3 tiles from 4 tiles. One tile remains.


Answer: —1

Let us study the meaning of opposites using the number line.

—3 —2 —1 0 +1 +2 +3
You will notice that +3 and —3 are 3 units away from zero. These pair of numbers are called
opposites. Two numbers are opposite if they are of equal distance from zero. For example, the
opposite of +5 is —5 and the opposite of-7 is +7.
A number and its opposite are called additive inverses. Look at the sum of an integer and
its additive inverse below. What do you notice?
(+4)+(-4)=O (+13)+(-13)=O
(-17)+(+17)=0 (-23)+(+23)=O
The sum of two opposite integers is zero.

Additive Inverse Property


For every n, n + (—n) = 0.
The idea of additive inverses can be used to subtract integers.
Subtraction Addition
8-3=5 8+(-3)=5
17-9=8 17+(-9)=8
Subtracting an integer therefore, is equivalent to adding its additive inverse.
Examples:
1. 17-5 = 17 + (-5) = 12 1 28 —(-7) = 28 + 7 = 35
2. (-23)-8=--23+(---8)=-31 4. —43—(--18)=-43+18=-25

159
Example 3. (-4) — (+1) =?
We cannot take away 1 black tile from 4 white tiles. Then we must add 1 zero pair. Then,

Removing 1 black tile, there remains 5 white tiles. The difference therefore, is —5.
Answer: —5

Example 4 +3— (-5) =?


Solution:
Obviously we cannot take away 5 white tiles from 3 black tiles. We have to
bring in 5 zero pairs, consisting of 1 black and 1 white tile each. Since adding zero
pairs does not change the value of the set, we now have:

Now, remove 5 white tiles. Since 8 black tiles remain, then the difference is 8.
Answer: 8

Since Rita's household had a decrease of 2 kg in their garbage,
multiplication we can represent it with —2. If such decrease happens for 6 days, then
and division of we can have:
integers using
appropriate
—2 x 6= n.
strategies and Multiplying integers is the same as multiplying whole numbers.
tools We just need to be careful ofthe sign we use in the product. The product
of two integers with different signs is negative. Otherwise, the product
is positive. In the above example, multiplying 2 and 6 is 12, but since
the signs of the factors are different, then the product is —12. Therefore,
after 6 days, Rita's household will have a decrease of 12 kilograms in
their garbage.
To know the average reduced waste of each person in Rita's
household, we will have to divide their total decrease in their garbage
by 4. Since there are four members in their household, each one of them
will have an average decrease in waste represented as:
—12±4n.
Dividing integers is the same as dividing whole numbers. As in
multiplication of integers, the quotient of two integers with different
signs is negative. Otherwise, the quotient is positive. Twelve divided
by 4 is 3. Since 12 and 4 have different signs, then our final answer will
be —3. Thus, each of the four members of Rita's household reduced 3
kilograms in their garbage.

EXPLAIN

Multiplication of integers
When we study whole numbers, one way of introducing multiplication is using the repeated
addition process.
Let us use tiles to model the multiplication of integers. Remember that a black tile represents
a positive integer and a white tile represents a negative integer. The counter indicates how many
rows to make. It has this meaning if it is positive. If the counter is negative, it will mean "take
the opposite of or flip-over the tiles".

Example 1 Find the product of (+3) and (+4).


Place 4 rows of 3 black tiles on the mat.

Since there are 12 black tiles, the product is 12. Thus ,(+3) x (+4) 12.

Example 2 Multiply (+4) by (-3).


Place 3 rows of 4 black tiles on the mat.

Going back to the given, the other factor is negative, which means all the tiles in the
3 rows should be flipped over.

Since there are 12 white tiles, the product is —12. Thus, (+4) x (-3) = —12.

167
Example 3 Find the product: (-3) x (+2).
Place 2 rows of 3 white tiles on the mat.

Since there are 6 white tiles on the mat, the product is —6. Thus, (-3) x (+2) = —6.

Example 4 Multiply (-5) by (-3).


Place 3 rows of 5 white tiles on the mat.

Going back to the given, the other factor is negative, which means all the tiles in the
3 rows should be flipped over.

Since there are 15 black tiles, the product is 15. Thus, (-5) x (-3) = 15.
From the examples above, we can say that:
• The product of a positive integer and a negative integer is a negative integer.
• The product of two positive integers or two negative integers is a positive integer.

Division of Integers
Let us illustrate division of integers through the following examples.

Example 5 Divide: (+6) ± (+2)

From the 6 black tiles, make 2 groups with equal number of tiles.

'
I ___

_____ - _____

There are 3 black tiles in each group. Therefore, (+6) ± (+2) = +3, or simply 3.

168
Example 6 Divide: (-6) ± (+2)
From the 6 white tiles, make 2 groups with equal number of tiles.

-I

There are 3 white tiles in each. Therefore, (-6) ~ (+2) = —3.

Example 7 Divide: (+6) ± (-2)


Note that a negative divisor will mean to take the opposite of or flip over. Therefore, from
the 6 black tiles, make 2 groups with equal number of white tiles.

-I

There are 3 white tiles in each group. Therefore, (+6) ~ (-2) = —3.

Example 8 Divide: (-6) ~ (-2)


Since the divisor is negative, from the 6 white tiles, make 2 groups with equal number
of black tiles.

There are 3 black tiles in each group. Therefore, (-6) ± (-2) = 3.

Additional examples:
1. (-36)~9=--4 3. 63~3=21
2. 56—(-4)=-14 4. (-156)~(-13)= 12

From the above examples, we can say that:


• The quotient of a positive integer and a negative integer is a negative integer.
• The quotient of two positive integers or two negative integers is a positive integer.

What do you observe in the pattern?
The pattern shows that Cindy was able to save twice as much as
she saved the previous day. In this case, she will be able to save p32.00
on Friday, P64.00 on Saturday. Therefore Cindy will save 128.00 on
Sunday. From this pattern, it shows that: her savings on Tuesday is twice
her savings on Monday or 2 x 2 =4; Wednesday is twice her savings
on Tuesday or 2 x (2 x 2) = 8, and so on. We can write this as follows:
Monday: 2' =2 Friday: 2 32
Tuesday: 22 =4 Saturday: 26=64
Wednesday: 2 =8 Sunday: 2 = 128
Thursday: 2 = 16
Adding all her savings, Cindy will save a total of p254.00.

The expression 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 can also be expressed as 2.


2
exponent
base

The expression 2 is called an exponential notation or exponential


form. The number 2 is called the base and the number 4 is called the
exponent. The exponent tells how many times the base is used as a
factor. Thus, in the expression 2, the exponent 4 tells that the base 2 is
used as a factor 4 times.

174
Therefore, we can say that 2 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16.
The table below shows some examples of exponential expression, how to read it, and
its value.

Let's try the following examples.


Example 1 Write 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 in exponential notation. Then, evaluate.
Solution:
The base is 3. Since 3 is used as a factor four times, the exponent is 4. Therefore,
3 x 3 x 3 x 3=3=81.
Example 2 Evaluate each expression.
a. 45 =4x4x4x4x4 4 is used as a factor 5 times.
= 1024

b. 93 = 9x9x9 9 is used as a factor 3 times.


= 729

c. (-6) (-6) x (-6) x (-6) x (-6) x (-6) —6 is used as a factor 5 times.


= —7776 An odd power of a negative number
is negative.

Exponents are also useful when writing powers often. Numerical expressions such as 101,
102, 10, and so on are called powers of 10.
Study this example.
100000= lOx lOx lOx lOx 10
Observe that there are five zeros in 100 000, so 10 is used 5 times as a factor.
Thus, to write 100 000 in exponential notation we have,
100000= lOx lOx lOx lOx 10=l0.
Consider the following examples.
1. 1000 = 10 x 10 x 10 = 10
2. 10000=10 x lOx lOx 10= 10
3. 1000000=l0xl0xl0xlOxlOxl0=106

175
When a number, except 0, is raised to the zero power, the result will always be 1.
So,-18°1 and 140=1.

Example 3 Evaluate each expression iff= 2, g 5, and h = 6.

EXPLAIN
A series of operations may also involve grouping symbols and
exponents. In solving series of operations, the following rules can be used:
RULE 1: Simplify the operations inside the grouping symbols first.
Grouping symbols are always done from the innermost set
outward.
RULE 2: Evaluate exponential expressions.
RULE 3: Multiply and divide in the order they appear from left to right.
RULE 4: Add and subtract in the order they appear from left to right.

CHAPTER REVIEW

INTEGRATION OF LEARNING
Integers are useful in many facets of our lives, for example in budgeting and other
applications involving money. Positive numbers usually denote income or generation of profit,
while negative numbers are associated with having debts. Likewise, store transactions can
also be considered as one of its applications. When we buy some foods or products in a store
or in a market, we usually look for good quality products.
1. Why do quality becomes an important factor for product consumption?
2. What do you usually buy in a store or in a market?
3. What makes you close a transaction with the vendor?
4. In your own words, how do you represent the money you had given to the vendor?
5. When someone owes you money, how do you represent it?

Plane figures are closed figures whose points lie on the same surface. They
are flat and have only two dimensions — the length and width. Solid figures are
three-dimensional objects having length, width and height.
Answer: The top of the table, floor, wall, receipt, and the face of a card are
plane figures, while the ball, toy car, toy plane, dice, robot, toy block, and chinese
bagua are solid figures because they are not flat and have three dimensions.

Check.

Top of the table, card, floor, wall, and receipt are flat and have only two
dimensions -. length and width. Therefore, they are plane figures. And ball, toy
car, toy plane, dice, robot, toy block, and chinese bagua have three dimensions —
length, width and height. Therefore, they are solid figures.

KEY IDEAS
A polyhedron is a solid figure whose sides are all polygons. Each side is called face. Two
faces intersect in a line segment called an edge. Two edges intersect in a point called a
vertex.
A prism is a polyhedron whose bases are congruent polygons and whose lateral faces are
parallelograms.
A pyramid is a polyhedron whose base is a polygon and the lateral faces are trtangles.
Prisms and pyramids are named according to the shape of its base.
Solid figures with curved surfaces and its corresponding properties:
— Cylinder has two circular bases that are congruent and parallel.
— Cone has one circular base.
— Sphere is a curved surface of points that are all of the same distance from the center.

up with a closed plane figure.
This two-dimensional figure is called a net.

EXPLAIN
A net is a closed plane figure that can be folded into a closed
3-dimensional figure. It is a pattern you can use to form solid figures.
Plane figures are used to show the nets of solid figures. All the flat
parts of a solid figure are calledfaces. The line where two faces meet
is called an edge. The point where three edges meet is called a vertex.

To illustrate the figure when the net is folded, we have:

• Answer: The figure formed when the net was folded is a cube.
The faces are quadrilaterals ABDC, CDHF, HFEG, GEAB, ACFE, and BDHG.
The edges are AB, BD, DC, CA, EG, GH, HF, FE, AE, CF, BG, and DH.
The vertices are A, B, D, C, E, G, H, and F.

Check.
By using the properties of a cube:
The figure formed has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices.
A cube has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.
Therefore, the figure formed is a cube.

CHAPTER REVIEW

INTEGRATION OF LEARNING
The Great Pyramid of Giza (also called the Khufu's Pyramid) became remarkable in
world history. It was considered as one of the ancient and the largest of the three pyramids in
Giza. This Great Pyramid was regarded as the tallest man-made structure in the world for over
3800 years. It was constructed around 2560 BC.
Guide Questions:
1 What kind of figure is the pyramid of Egypt? Is it a plane or a solid figure?
2. How many faces, edges, and vertices does the pyramid of Egypt have?
3. Is the pyramid of Egypt a polyhedron? Why?

REFLECTION
Geometry is used in everyday life for building and construction, home decorating, outdoor
projects and professional works.
Now, take a minute to look and observe the things around you. Can you name particular
shapes that you see? What are those? What do you think will happen if Geometry does not
exist? Why is it important in our life?

THINK ABOUT THIS


Several identical cubes are fused together to form a solid object. Given the following five
external views of such an object, draw the sixth external view. Clockwise or counterclockwise
of the sixth view are acceptable, but a mirror image (the sixth side as viewed from inside the
solid) is not acceptable.

Parol Making

Christmas wlll always be part of Filipino traditions. For many of us, the appearance of the
bright star-lantern along the roads is an indication of the start of this wonderful season Usually,
these star-shaped lanterns called "parol" will show up as early as September with different sizes
and colors Do you know how to make a parol?
The following are the matenals and procedures on how to make a parol'

10 bamboo sticks 5 pegs rubber bands


glue stick and glue gun scissors
cellophane or 'papel de hapon" or any kind of paper

Procedures:
Tie a pair of bamboo sticks together on one end with rubber bands to form a V shape
Make three more pairs You will have four Vs and two unattached sticks Lock two Vs together
to form an A shape and tie the two ends together with rubber bands.
Thread one of the single sticks through the center of the A to form a star and tie the two
loose ends together with rubber bands (3) Do the same for the other two Vs and remaining
stick
4. Tie the two stars together in all five points using rubber bands to form a single star.
5. Carefully pull apart the center of the frame and place a peg in one corner of the pentagon.
6 Place a peg in each of the other four corners
7. Secure each peg with glue using a glue gun.
8. Cut strips of cellophane, newspaper, or "papel de hapon" big enough to cover the individual
panels. Glue the strips of paper onto the frame with a glue stick.
CUt the extra paper around the panel as close as you can to the frame. Clean up the edges
by gluing and wrapping the uncut edges of paper around the frame. Continue until all panels
are covered.

What are the plane figures in your "parol"? How about solid figures? Can you identify and
describe them?

Try to find the next four terms.

EXPLAIN
Numbers, figures, objects, or symbols arranged in a definite order or sequence is often
encountered in mathematics. For instance,

(a) 2,4,6,... (b) (c) A,D,G,J,...

Numbers in (a), figures in (b) and letters in (c) are arranged in a definite order. Using the
given sequences:
1. What is the next number in (a)?

+2 +2 Notice that the next number will be obtained by adding 2 to


2, 4, 6 the previous number. The next number on the pattern is 8.

2. What is the next figure in (b)?

Observe that the shaded triangle is rotating clockwise around the square. Therefore,
the next figure is

3. What is the next letter in (c)?

A, D, G, J,

The letters in the sequence. consist of every third letter of the alphabet. Skip two
letters K and L. So, the 5th letter is M.

The Nth Term of a Sequence


A sequence is a set of numbers written in a special order by the application of a definite
rule. Each number in the sequence is called a term. To look for some patterns or rules will help
us to continue a given sequence of numbers, figures, or to fill in the missing numbers or symbols.

Example 1 By following a certain pattern, the following sequences show the rules and the
next three terms.

d. 7a, 5a, 3a, ... a, —a, —3a

Example 3 Formulate the rule in finding the nth term for each sequence. Use counting numbers
to easily find the rule.

COUNTtNG NUMBERS
•:The set..of:nulrrjbers 1, 2,3, 4, without 0 (zero) is called
counting numbers

a. 2,3,4,5,...
First term = 1 + (1) = 2
Second term =2 + (1) = 3
Third term = 3 + (1) = 4
Fourth term =4+ (1) = 5

Since the rule of the sequence is adding 1 to the preceding number to be able to get the
next term(s), the nth term rule for this sequence is n + 1.

b. 2,4,6,8,...
First term = 2 x (1) = 2
Second term =2 x (2) =4
Third term = 2 x (3) = 6
Fourth term =2 x (4) = 8

Since the pattern is multiplying 2 by every counting number, the nth rule for this sequence is
2 x n or 2n.
c. 2,5,8,11,...
3 3 3

2, 5, 8, 11...
5-2 8-5 11-8

216
Working backwards, you will notice a pattern that subtracts 3 to get the next term on the
left. Now, think of a way on how you will get each term having a common difference of 3.

Using guess-and-check strategy:


Let n représént a counting number.

Guess Check

Try it with the remaining terms.
3x2-1=5
3 x3—1=8 — The rule is also exact for the other
three terms.
3 x4_ 1=11

So, the nth rule for this sequence is 3 x n — 1 or 3n — 1.

To easily find the pattern for this sequence, let's make the denominators all the same.

Applications and Problem Solving

Example 4 Every year, Mang Ramon's kinalabaw mango tree produces 2 more kilos of
mangoes than the previous year. If 25 kilograms were harvested in year 2012, how
many kilos will it produce in 2017? What is the total number of kilos of mangoes
that the tree will produce from 2012 to 2017?

Understand.
a. What are asked?
• The number of kilos the mango tree will produce in 2017.
• The total no. of kilos of mangoes the tree will produce from year 2012
to 2017.
b. What are the given facts?
• Mang Ramon harvested 25 kilos in 2012 (the starting year).
• The mango tree produces 2 more kilos of mangoes than the previous year.
Plan. What strategy can we use to solve the problem?
Let us construct a table to see the pattern in the sequence of numbers. We shall
then add the kilos of mangoes from each year to find the total.

Answer: The kinalabaw mango tree will produce 35 kilograms in 2017. The
total kilograms of mangoes that the tree will produce in 6 years
is 180.

Check. Check your answer. This is one way to know if our answer is correct:
Go back to the diagram and look at the sequence of numbers. Are they consistent?
Was the pattern of the additional two kilos of mangoes per year strictly followed?
If you have completely done all of these, you can confidently write down your

will she have in all after March 10? What rule can be used to find the amount she
can save on a specific day if she will continue saving in the future?

Understand.
a. What is asked?
The amount of money that Erica can save on March 10.
The total amount of money Erica can save after March 10.
Formulate a rule in finding the nth term.
b. What are the given facts?

If Erica continues to save, the sequence will be 2, 4, 8, 16,

Solve. Show your computation.

Total amount Erica saved:


4+8+ 16+ 32 + 64 + 128 + 256 + 512+ 1024 = 2046

The nth term rule:

2, 4, 8, 16, ... —* 2', 22, 2, 2

Answer: On March 10, Erica saved '1,024.00. The total amount she saved
on the 10-day period was p2,046.00. If she continues to save, the
amount of savings on any specific date can be obtained using the rule 2.

Check. You may try the following in checking your answer.

Using the rule we formulated, let us check the amounts from the table with these
randomly picked dates.

March6(Day6):26 =2 x2 x2x2 x2 x2=64


March 9 (Day 9): 2 = 2 x 256 = 512
March 10 (Day 10): 2'° = 2 x 512 = 1024

If the first 4 km is p8.00, we need to find the amount of fare for


the remaining distance to get the amount which Richie needs to pay.
The remaining distance is 24 km. Let y= the fixed amount of 1.00
for every kilometer. To find the total amount fare, we will use the
expression 24y + 8.
Evaluate: 24y + 8 —> 24(1) + 8 32.

EXPLAI N
Consider this problem:
Glen is a newly hired messenger in a multinational company in Makati. As a trainee, he
needs to wear a polo-shirt every day. He was given a clothing allowance of 6,000.00. How
many polo-shirts can he buy using this amount?
Study the table of prices for typical brands of clothes.

Brand Price per Shirt - Numerical Expression Number of Shirts


Brand A 5O0OO 6000 ~ 500 12
Brand B p400.00 6000+400 15
Brand C p250.00 '6000 ~ 250 24
Brand D 3OO.00 6000 + 300 20
BrandE 60O.0O 6000~600 10

The answer to the question depends on the brand of clothes he will buy.
The third column gives the numerical expression for each brand for the number of shirts that he
can buy. Our constant is 6,OOO.00. If you do not know the price of a poio shirt, we can use a
variable to stand for a price. Then we can write an algebraic expression for the number of shirts.

EXPLAIN
An equation is a mathematical sentence with an equal sign (=) which shows that two
expressions on either side are equal.
The symbol "=" is read "equals" and separates an equation into two parts: the left member
and the right member.
For example, in the equation 3x + 5 = 20, the left member is 3x + 5 and the right member
is 20.
Consider Glen's problem presented from the previous lesson:
Glen is a newly hired messenger in a multinational company in Makati. As a trainee to
the company, he needs to wear a polo-shirt every day. He was given a clothing allowance of
6,O00.00. How many polo-shirts can he buy using his p6,000.00?
Our equations to get the exact number of polo-shirts per brand are listed in the third colunm.
The variable in each algebraic equation represents the number of shirts per brand.

Common Words Translated as.'

Brand D P300 6000 ~ 300 = r r= 20
BrandE P600 6000~600s s10

So, the number of shirts he can buy using his 6,000.00 clothing allowance depends on
the brand he prefers.
One of the most important skills in math that we have to acquire, especially when it comes
to solving word problems, is the ability to translate verbal phrases or sentences to equations.
Aside from the fact that this could be one of the easiest ways to get an accurate answer, it also
shows a clean flow of solution which becomes understandable to many if properly presented.
To translate verbal phrases or sentences to algebraic equations, mastery of the previous
lesson (translating to algebraic expression) is necessary.

Example 5 Translate into an algebraic equation: The product of thirteen less than thrice a
number, and five will result to forty-five.
Let d be the number. We have:

The phrase "thirteen less than thrice a number" is similar to "thrice a number
minus thirteen". So,

3d— 13 — thirteen less than thrice a number

5(3d— 13) = 45 *— the product of thirteen less than thrice a number, and five will
result to forty-five

Algebraic equation: 5(3d — 13) = 45

EXPLAIN
There are different ways to solve equations of the form ax + b = c. Consider the following
example.

Example 1 Solve the equation 2x +3 = 17.


Solution:
METHOD 1: Guess and Test guess values for the variable and substitute to see
-

if a true equation results.


x 1 4 7

2x+3 2(1)+3=5 2(4)~3=11 2(7)+3=17

2x+3=17 5~17 11~17 1717

Therefore, 7 is a solution of the equation.


METHOD 2: Cover Up - In this method, we cover up the term with the variable.

0+3= 17

To make a true equation, the value of 0 must be 14. Thus, 2x = 14,


x must be 7. Since 2 • 7 = 14, x must be 7.
METHOD 3: Work Backwards
The left side of the equation shows thatx was multiplied by 2 and then
3 was added to obtain 17. Thus, if we subtract 3 from 17 and divide
by 2, we can work backwards to the value of x.

17 —3 = 14 and 14 —2 = 7
Therefore, the value of x is 7. The diagram below shows the process.

SOLUTION OF AN EQUATION
A solution of an algebraic equation is a number that
makes the sentence true

From the previous lesson, we have learned that we can use a letter in an equation. We call
it a variable because it represents any number. If a replacement for a variable makes an equation
true, it is a solution of the equation.
To solve an equation for n, means to get n alone on one side of the equation. To solve an
equation, we use the idea of opposites.

Example 2 Solve and check: n +5 = —5

The sum of an integer and its opposite equals 0 (zero).


Examples: —4+4Q

240
a. Use to represent n, • to represent 1, and o to represent —1.

n + 5 = —5

I + = 00000

b. To get n alone, add the opposite of 5 to the left side of the equation. To keep
the equation in balance, also add the opposite of 5 to the right side.

n + 5+(-5) = —5 + (-5)

00000
I +
••••U

c. Since U + 0 represents 1 + (-1), • + 0 equals 0. Remove each pair of and


0 from the equation.

I 00000

n = —10
d. Check: Replace n in the original, equation by —10.
n + 5 = —5
—10 + 5 = —5

Remove pairs of U and 0.


I.,
00000 = 00000

—5 = —5
Thus, n = —10 is correct. Our solution is —10.

Example 3 What value for y will make the equation 5y —2 = 18 true?


Strategy: Guess and Check

Guess Check True or False?

Only y =4 makes the equation true. Therefore, the solution to the equation is 4.

Four Basic Properties Used to Solve Equations

1 Addition Property of Equality If the same quantity is added to both


sides of an equation the resulting equation is equivalent to the
original equation
2 Subtraction Property of Equality If the same quantity is subtracted
from both sides of an equation the resulting equation is equivalent
to the original equation
3 Mu'tiplication Property of Equality If both sides of an equation are
multiplied by the same (nonzero) quantity the resulting equation is
equivalent to the original equation
4 Division Property of Equality If both sides of an equation are divid-
ed by the same (nonzero) quantity, the resulting equation is equiva-
lent to the original equation

Consider the following examples:


Example 4 Solve: c + 18 = 29
Solution.
c+ 18 =29
c + 18— 18 =29— 18 By Subtraction Property of Equality, subtract
18 from both sides.
c+011
c= 11
To check the answer, we replace 11 for c in the original equation.

242
Check:
c + 18 = 29
9
11 + 18 =29
2929 True
Therefore, the solution is 11.

Example 5 Solve: —32 = 15 + d


Solution:
—32= 15+d
—32 — 15 = 15 + d — 15 Subtract 15 from both sides.
—47=O+d
—47 = d
Check:
—32= 15+d
—32= 15+(-47)
—32 = —32 True
Therefore, the solution is —47.

Application and Problem Solving

Example 10 MangAmbo is an egg dealer. He needs to sell 1000 dozens of eggs every 2 weeks
for him to meet the quota requirement. On the first week, he sold 453 dozens of
eggs. On the third day of the second week, he delivered again and sold 364 dozens.
How many more dozens of eggs does MangAmbo needs to sell to meet the quota?

Understand.
a. What is asked?
The remaining dozens of eggs Mang Ambo still needs to sell to meet the quota.
b. What are the given facts?
• Mang Ambo needs to sell 1000 dozens of eggs.
• 453 dozens of eggs were sold on the first week.
• On the third day of the second week, 364 dozens were sold.

Plan. What equation shall we use to solve the problem? Select your own strategy
in creating the equation.
We let d = the remaining dozens of eggs Mang Ambo still needs to sell to
meet the quota.
Translate the statement to an equation:
The eggs sold on the first week plus eggs sold on the 3rd day of the second
week plus the eggs that he needs to sell equals two-week's quota. That is,
453 +364+d= 1000
Two-weeks quota: 1000 dozens

Eggs sold on the first week Sold on the 3rd day of the second d
453 dozens of eggs week 364 dozens of eggs

Solve. Show your computation.


453 +364+d= 1000
817 +d= 1000
—817 + 817 + d= 1000 + (-817)
-Y.

0 +d=183
d= 183

Answer: Mang Ambo still needs to sell 183 dozens of eggs to meet the quota.

245
Check. To check, you may go back to the illustration and estimate if our answer
183 dozens is reasonable. Another way to check is to go back to your
original equation and replace d with 183 as shown.
453+364+ d = 1000

INTEGRATION OF LEARNING
Algebra behind Math Tricks
There are many forms of math tricks performed by magicians and friends. The following
is an example of a short trick.
Daniel: "Think of a counting number but do not tell me the number."
Ezekiel: "Okay, I have a number." (Ezekiel's number is seven.)
Daniel: "Now add two to your number."
Ezekiel: "Okay, I have done that." (Now Ezekiel's number is 9.)
Daniel" "Multiply by three."
Ezekiel: "Okay, that is done." (Ezekiel's number is 27 now.)
Daniel: "Subtract 6 from this number you have."
Ezekiel: "All right." (Ezekiel's number is now 21.)
Daniel: "Okay, Ezekiel, tell me the number you have now and I'll tell you the original
number you chose."
Ezekiel: Sure my number is now 21."
Daniel: "Hmm, 21. Well, I guess your original number was 7."
Ezekiel: "Wow! That was great! How did you do it?"

What did Daniel do to figure out Ezekiel's number? Use algebra to figure out this trick.
To help, let the counting number chosen be represented by n.
Once you see how this trick works algebraically, you can easily make up your own
similar trick. Each person in the group should try to make up a trick like this and test it on the
other members. The example above and the algebraic expression that represents the steps
will help you.

Jonathan bought a new car. He drove his car from Manila to
Baguio City at an average speed of 65 kilometers per hour, for a total
of 4.5 hours. How far did he travel?

total distance
Manila Baguio

EXPLORE
In this problem, we were given a speed of 65 kilometers per hour,
and time of 4.5 hours. To find the total distance traveled, we can simply
multiply the given speed and time: BIG IDEA
Distance =65 x 4.5 —, 65
Speed, distance,

EXPLAIN
The relationship between speed, distance, and time can be expressed in the following
equations:

Speed, Distance, and Time Formula


distance
SDeed =
time
Distance speed x time
distance
Time =
speed

To further understand the relationship between these three terms (speed, distance, and
time) in the formula, analyze the situation below.
When we say a track event at the Palarong Pambansa is 500 meters long, we are defining
its distance. Yet most people are interested in the time taken to run it.
Equally, however, we could consider them to run a longer distance in the same time. Both
points of view are exactly the same. All that we are talking about is their average speed, which
is defined by:

Definition of Average Speed


Average speed is a measure of the distance traveled in a given period
of time, it is sometimes referred to as the ratio of distance and time

Average speed - distance


time

Why is the term average speed used? Think about how the race happens—they start from
being at rest, speed up, and run at almost the same speed throughout.
In everyday life, we use speeds like kilometers per hour (kmlh), whereas in this race we
use meter per second (mis).

Definition of Speed
Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving."
Speed can be thought of as the rate by which an object covers distance.

A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively long distance in a short
amount of time. Contrast this to a slow-moving object that has a low speed and covers a relatively
small, amount of distance in the same amount of time. An object with no movement at all has
a zero speed.

254
Definition of Distance and Time
Distance is the total length between two positions
Time is the quantity measured or measurable period during which an
action, process, or condition exists or continues.

The equation for speed can be remembered from the unit itself: rn/s — m is meters
(distance), s is seconds (time). It can, of course, be rearranged to give:
distance
time — - and distance = speed x time
speed
The following table lists units in common use for speed and their abbreviations.

Distance Time Speed Abbreviation


miles hours miles per hour mph
kilometers hours kilometers per hour km/h or kph
meters seconds meters per second m/s
feet seconds feet per second f.p.s or ft. per sec.
centimeters per
centimeters seconds cm/sec or cm/s
second

Example 1 If a car travels 100 kilometers in 2 hours, find the average speed.
Solution:
Using the average speed formula:
distance 100
Average speed = — — 50 kph
time 2
Answer: The average speed of the car is 50 kph.
Take note that the car does not travel at a constant speed of 50 kph; its speed
varies during the journey.

Example 2 A world-record holder ran 800 meters in 86 seconds. What was his average speed
rounded to the nearest tenth?
Solution:
Using the average speed formula:
distance 800 m
Average speed = — — 9.3 ni/S
time 86 s
Answer: The average speed of the world record holder was 9.3 mIs.

Example 3 Roy drives at an average of 45 mph on ajourney of 135 miles. How long does the
journey take?
Solution:
Using the average speed formula:
distance 135 miles
Average speed = . — — 3 hours
time 45 mph
Answer: The journey takes 3 hours.
Example 4 Vincent's motorcycle's average speed on a motorcycle is 50 km/h. If he drives it
1
for 4 hours, how far does he travel?
Solution:
Using the formula to find the distance:
distance = speed x time
1
=50x4

distance = 225 kilometers


Answer: He can travel a distance of 225 kilometers.

Example 5 Daniel can type 840 words in 20 minutes. Calculate his typing speed in:
a. words per minute b. words per hour
Solution:
His typing speed can be calculated as:
840
a. Typing speed = =42 words per minute.

In 1 hour we have 60 minutes, so:


b. Typing speed =42 x 60=2520 words per hour.

Example 6 Nandy has to travel a total of 476 kilometers. He travels the first 224 kilometers
in 4 hours.
a. Calculate his average speed for the first part of the journey.
b. If his average speed remains the same, calculate the total time for him to
complete the journey.
Solution:
To calculate the average speed:

the rectangle.
To find the area of the rectangle, multiply the length by the width.
Area = length x width
=6 ftx 2.5 ft
Area = 15 ft2
So, Aldrin needs 15 ft2 of granite tiles to cover the countertop.

EXPLAIN

Definition of Area
Area is the number of square units needed to
cover the surface of a plane figure.

260
A polygon and its interior form a plane region. We can find the area of the rectangular
region or rectangle by filling it in with square units. The illustration below shows two units,
square inch and a square centimeter.

Square inch Square centimeter

1cm

Example 1 What is the area of this region?

5cm

4cm

We have a rectangular array. Since the region is filled with 20 square


centimeters, its area is 20 square centimeters (sq. cm), or 20 cm2. The number of
square units is 5 x 4=20.

Area of a Rectangle
The area of a rectang'e is the product of the length (I) and width (w).

Area of Composite Figures


To find the area of composite figures, you can sometimes separate it into figures with areas you
know how to find.

Example 6 Find the area of each shaded region. Assume that all angles that appear to be right
angles are right angles.

Area of the rectangle: 85 ft


A 1w
=85 ft • 40 ft
A = 3400 ft2
40 ft

266
Combining the two semi-circles on both ends of the figure will result to a
circle. Having this, the combined area of both ends is:

A =lt•r•r
= (3.14)(20 ft)(20 ft)
= (3.14)(4000) ft2
A =1256ft2

The total area of the floor is:


A(total) = A(recngle) + A(cite)
=3400ft2 + 1256 ft2
A
(total)
=4656ft2

If hardwood flooring costs 220.00 per square foot, then 4656 ft2 • 220.00
= 1,024,320.00 is the total flooring cost.

Example 8 How much larger is a leche flan made in a 12-inch square moulder than a leche
flan made in a 12-inch-diameter circular moulder? (Use 7t = 3.14)
Solution:
First, we make illustration of each. Then compute the areas.
12 inches 12 inches

The area of the square is:


A =s.s

=l2in.l2in
A =144in2
The diameter of the circle is 12 inches, so the radius is 6 inches. The area of
the circle is:
A 7t•r•r
= (3.14)(6 in.)(6 in.)
= (3.14)(36) in2
A =113.04in2
The square leche flan is larger by about 144 in2 — 113.04 in2 = 30.96 in2.

One way to solve the surface area of a prism is to solve for the area of each face, and then
add them all.
Area of left side: 2 cm x 1 cm = 2 cm2 Area of right side: 2 cm x 1 cm = 2 cm2
Area of top: 3 cmx 2 cm = 6cm2 Area of bottom: 3 cmx 2 cm = 6cm2
Area of front: 3 cm x 1 cm = 3 cm2 Area of back: 3 cm x 1 cm 3 cm2
Thus, surface area of rectangular prism can be found as follows.
Area of left Area of top Area of front
Surface area = + +
and right sides and bottom and back
S.A = 2(2cm x 1 cm) + 2(3 cm x 2 cm) + 2(3 cm x 1 cm)
S..A = 4 cm + 12 cm2 + 6 cm2
S.A = 22 cm2

The total surface area of the jewelry box is 22 cm2. There is enough varnish left to refinish it.

EXPLAIN
Surface area (S.A) is the sum of the areas of the base(s) and the lateral faces of a solid
figure. One way to find the surface area of a solid figure is to find the area of its net. You measure
area in square units such as cm2, ft2, m2 and other units.
Another way to find the surface area of a prism is to use the lateral area and base areas.
Lateral area (L.A) of a prism is the sum of the areas of lateral faces.

Perimeter of base

L.A = Lateral Area = ph Surface Area = L.A + 2B

When you find the surface area of a prism, it is a good idea to find the lateral area first.

Surface Area of Prism


•The lateral area of prism is the product of the perimeter of the base and height.
L.A.-ph
The surface area of a prism is the sum of the lateral and the area of the two bases.
S.A = L.A. + 2B

273
Example 1 Find the surface area of the triangular prism below.

12m

Solution:
STEP 1. Find the lateral area. shape of the base is a triangle
L.A. =ph wtthstdesl2m 7m and lOm
The height of the prism is 14 m
=(12+7+ 10)(14)
= 406 m2
STEP 2. Find the surface area.
S.A. = L.A. + 2B
basebf a triangle.. So,
=L.A. + 21!.b. h
B = bh,

=406+21! :v.here b is the base of the triangle


and ii is the height of the triangle.

=454
Answer: The surface area of the triangular prism is 454 m2.

Surface Areas of Cylinders

If we cut a label from a sardine can, we will see that the label is a rectangle. The height
(or width) of the rectangle is the height of the can. The base length of the rectangle is the
circumference of the can.

Surface Area of a Cylinder
The lateral area of a cylinder is the product of the circumference of the base and the
height of the cylinder.
• LA2irrh
The surface area of a cylinder is the sum of the lateral area and the areas of the
two bases.
S.A. = L.A. +28

Example 2 Find the surface area of the can of milk at the right Use IL = 3.14.
Solution:
STEP I Find the lateral area.
L.A. = 2itrh
= 2(3.14)(1.5)(4)
= 37.68 cm2

STEP 2. Find the surface area.


S.A.=L.A+2B
= L.A + 2irr2
= 37.68 + 2(3.14)(l.5)2
= 37.68 + 14.13
= 51.81 cm2
Answer: The surface area of the can is 51.81 cm2.

Surface Area of Pyramids

The surface area of a pyramid is the sum of the areas of all of the faces, including the base.
We can use the net to find a general formula that will help us find the surface area of any pyramid.

L.A.

Pyramid

275
To find the surface area (S.A.), we need to find the lateral area (L.A.) and the area of the
base (B), then add: S.A. = L.A. + B.

Surface Area of a Pyramid


The surface area of a pyramid is the sum of the lateral area and the area of the base
S.A. = L.A. + B

Example 3 Find the surface area of the right square pyramid at the right.
Solution:
STEP 1. Find the lateral area.
There are four congruent lateral faces. Let's find the areas of the triangles

using L.A. = 4( • b• hj.

L.A.=411.b.h

=41!.
= 1600
So, the lateral area is 1600 m2.

STEP 2. Find the surface area. Use the formula:

S.A. =L.A. +B

276
The base is a square, so:
B= s • s
=25 •25
B= 625 m2
So, the area of the base is 625 m2.
S.A.=L.A. +B
= 1600+ 625
S.A.=2225m2
Thus, the surface area of the pyramid is 2225 m2.

Surface Area of Cones

Let us use a net to help us see how the formula for the surface area of a right cone is derived.

r
Cone

The surface area of a cone is the sum of the lateral area (L.A.) and area of its base (B).
S.A = L.A. + B

To find L.A., imagine cutting the lateral surface into wedges and arranging the wedges to
form a figure like a parallelogram.

The base of the new figure is tr and the height is the slant height of the curved surface.
So, L.A. = mrs.
S.A =L.A.+B
mrs + mr2

277
Surface Area of a Cone
The surface area of a cone is the sum of the lateral area and the area of its base.
S.A. = ltrs + 7t12

Example 4 Find the surface area of the ice cream cone at the right.
Use it = 3.14.

Solution:
STEP 1. Find the lateral area using the formula L.A. = irrs.
L.A. = irrs
= (3.14)(2)(6)
L.A. = 37.68 cm2
STEP 2. Find the surface area. Use the formula: S.A. L.A. + B.
S.A.=LA. +B
= irrs + itr2
= 37.68 + (3.14)(22)
S.A. = 50.24 cm2
Answer: The surface area of the cone is 50.24 cm2.

Surface Area of Spheres


The area of the circle that contains the center of the sphere is irr2. It would take exactly
4 of these circles to wrap the sphere completely.

Surface Area of a Sphere


The surface area of a sphere with radius (r)

To find the volume (V) of a prism, multiply the number of cubic units needed to cover the
base (B) by the number of layers (h).
So, for any prism,
Volume (V) = base area (B) x height (h)

Volume of Prisms
The volume (V) of a pnsm is the product of the base area (B) and the
height (h).
V=B•h
SinceB=L• Wthen V=I'w

Example 1 Find the volume of the refrigerator at the right.


Solution:
The refrigerator at the right is a rectangular prism.
Using the formula, V=1 • w• h, we have:
V— l•w•h

Previous Reading

For us to get the amount of electricity that Mr. De la Cruz con-


sumed, subtract the previous electric meter reading from the present
electric meter reading:
00199-00125 =74 kWh.
So, Mr. De la Cruz consumed 74 kWh of electricity for this month.

302
EXPLAIN
Your electric meter measures the amount of electricity you use. Just as you purchase kilo-
grams of meat, grams of milk or liters of gasoline, you buy kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity.

Reading Electric Meter

A B C D

In an electromechanical meter, you will notice that there are five dials an4 inside each dial
is a pointer which indicates the number to be read. The pointers will alternately turn clockwise
and counterclockwise These dials measure the number of kilowatt-hour (kWh)
you use in is, lOs, lOOs, 1000s, and 10 000s.

Reading Electric Meters


To read electric meters:
Always read all the dials from right to left, starting from Dial E to
Dial A.
Read the number by the pointer of the dial When the pointer is
between two numbers, the lower number is recorded
If the pointer appears to be exactly on a number, check the dial to
the right to find out the correct reading
If the dial on the right has passed zero, then use the number
the pointer is pointing to on the dial you are reading
If the dial has not passed zero then make use of the smaller
number on the dial you are reading

303
Example 3 Draw the pointers on the dials to show 05630 kWh.

Reading a Water Meter


The older style of water meters are those with small dials. It looks like a series of small
clocks that turn clockwise (see picture below). The unit we use for this measurement is cubic
meters (m3). The rules of reading a water meter with dials are similar to the way an electric
meter is being read.

Reading Water Meters ...


To read water meters: . ... . . .:. :... ...
1. Start reading from right to left (clockwise). Read the number by the
pointer of the dial When the pointer is between two numbers, the
lower number is recorded
2 When the pointer is directly on the number, look at the dial to the
right If it has passed zero use the next higher number If the dial
has not passed zero use the tower number
3 Record the numbers from right to left

Example 4 Read and interpret the dials on the meter below. The rightmost dial has the
highest value.

305
To get the exact meter reading, start from right to left or the highest numbered
dial (clockwise).

So, the water meter shows 3518 m3.


Today, most households use a water meter with
odometer to measure the amount of water consumption.
See the picture at the right.

To cornput€ for water o eIectic is tionføi. a:PattiUIar period of time,
simply subtract the previous reading from the present reading

Example 5 Menwer made a record of their 3-month electric consumption. The initial reading
is 973 kWh.
January: 1120 February: 1353 March: 1512
Assume that the basic charge for the first 30 kWh is P 120.00 and the
succeeding kilowatt-hour is charged p6.00.
a. How much will Menwer pay for each month?
b. In what month did he pay the most? the least?
c. What is the average monthly consumption?
Understand.
a. What are asked?
The amount that Menwer will pay for each month of electricity they
consumed.
The month with the highest and lowest electricity bill.
The average monthly consumption.

306
b. What are the given facts?
• The initial reading is 973 kWh.
• January, February, and March readings are 1120 kWh, 1352 kWh, and
1512 kWh, respectively.
• The basic charge for the first 30 kWh is 120.00 and the next
kilowatt-hour is charged p6.00.
Plan. What operations shall we use to solve the problem? Select your own strategy.
To get the amount that Menwer will pay for each month: subtract the initial
reading from first month's reading. For the following month, subtract the previ-
ous month's reading from the current month's reading. Then, to get the amount
Menwer will pay for, subtract 30 kWh from the monthly kWh consumption, then
multiply the result by p6.00. Afterwards, add the amount for the first 30 kWh
which is p120.00.
To get the average monthly consumption, get the total consumption for three
months then divide it by 3.
Solve. Show the computation.
a. To get every month's electric consumption:
January: 1120-973 = 147 kWh
February: 1352-1120=232kWh
March: 1512- 1352 = 160 kWh
Now, to get the amount for each monthly consumption with the conditions
that the first 30 kWh is 120.00 and 6.00 per remaining kilowatt-hour.
That is,
January: 147 kWh -+ 120 + [(147-30) x 6]
120+[(147-30)x6]=120+(117x6)
=120+702
= p822.00.
So, for January he will pay 822.00.
February: 232 kWh -3 120 + [(232 - 30) x 6]
120+[(232-30)x6] 120+(202x6)
= 120+ 1212
= p1,332.00
So, for February he will pay 1,332.00
March: 160kWh-' 120+[(160-30)x6]
120+[(160-30)x6} = 120+(130x6)
= 120+ 780
!900.00
So, for March he will pay 900.00.

307
b. See computation in (a). The month with the highest (most) electricity
consumption was on February with 232 kWh consumption. They consumed
the least amount of electricity on the month of January with 147 kWh.
c. The computation below shows the average monthly consumption.
147+232+160 540
Average monthly consumption = -- 179.67
3
So, the average monthly electricity consumption is approximately
179.67 kWh.
Answer: The following are the answers to the questions:
a. He will pay p822.00, N,332.00, and p900.00 for the months of January,
February, and March, respectively.
b. The month with the highest (most) electricity consumption, was on February.
They consumed the least amount of electricity on the month of January.
c. The average monthly electricity consumption is approximately 179.67 kWh.

Check. Check your answer. This is one way on how to check if the answer is
correct:
Go back to your computation, check if all the given values are properly used
in reference to the given condition especially for computing the amounts.

Example 6 Menwer's record of their water consumption is as follows:


Initial Reading: 0113
January: 0254 February: 0458 March: 0648
a. On what month did they use most water?
b. How many cubic meters of water did they use for 3 months?
c. Solve for the average monthly consumption in cubic meters.
Understand.
a. What are asked?
• The month which they used the most amount of water.
• The total amount of water (in cubic meters) consumed within 3 months
periods.
• The average monthly consumption (in cubic meters).
b. What are the given facts?
• Initial Reading: 0113
January Reading: 0254
February Reading: 0458
March Reading: 0648

308
Plan. What operations shall we use to solve the problem? Select your own strategy.
There are three questions in the problem. You may use the following method
to solve each question:
a. Find the amount of water they consumed every month by subtracting the
initial reading from first month's reading, then the previous month's reading
from the current month's reading, and so on to identify the month which they
used most water.
b. To get the total amount of water consumed, add all the water consumption
for three months.
c. To get the average monthly consumption, divide the total (from b) by 3, the
number of months covered.
Solve. Show the computation.
a. Having an initial reading of 0113, so the water consumption for each month is:
January:

b. To get the total amount of water consumed:
141 +204+ 190=535m3
c. To get the average monthly consumption:
535
Average monthly consumption = --
178.33 m3
Answer:
a. They consumed 141 m3 for January, 204 m3 for February, and 190 m3 for
March.
b. The total water consumption for 3 months is 535 m3.
c. The average monthly consumption is about 178.33 m3.

The age of the youngest member is 13.
d. How many teenagers belong to ages 13 to 15?
There are 7 teenagers who belong to ages 13 to 15.
e. How many students have an age greater than 15?
Using the table above, the ages greater than 15 include students with ages 16 to 19
with 5, 3, 2, and 1 number of students, respectively. So, we have 11 students with
age greater than 15.

EXPLAIN
When you ask your friends about their favorite TV shows, the number of times they eat
in a restaurant, the brand of shampoo they use, or their height and weight, you are collecting
information. These pieces of collected information are called data.
When gathering data, whether we get it from the internet or from talking to people, we
need to keep track of that data. It helps us to collect information in an organized way. If we do
not do this, we might miss important information about the data and may result to difficulty in
interpreting the data we have gathered. Using a frequency table helps us to record, clarif', and
easily find what we are looking for our data. In a tally table, tally marks (I) are used to record
data, while in a frequency table, numbers are used instead of tally marks.
One of the first steps we follow after gathering data is to arrange the numbers in ascending
or descending order. In this way, we can easily see the highest and lowest values.

Let us study the following examples.

Example 1 By the end of the intramural's basketball tournament, Grade 6- F. Sionil Jose's
players had scored the following points: 19, 66, 32, 18, 33, 79, 49, 46, 60, 39.
What was the lowest score? What was the best score?

Solution:
Arrange the scores form least to greatest:
18, 19, 32, 33, 39, 46, 49, 60, 66, 79
Answer: The lowest score was 18. The highest score or the best score was 79.

Example 2 Airline A asked passengers on a flight to rate the quality of their service. The table
below hows the ratings of 24 passengers. Make a frequency distribution table of
the data collected. How many passengers gave a rating of 3 and below?

Service Ratings

3 5 4 2 4 3
4 2 1 4 3 5

5 1 2 5 3 1
4 '3 5 2 5 2

5: Excellent 4: Very Good 3: Good 2: Fair 1: Poor

Solution:
1. Arrange the service ratings in order.
2. Make a tally.
3. Count the tally marks. Write the frequencies.
4. Total all the frequencies.

Service Rating Tally Frequency


Excellent NI 6

VeryGood N 5

Good N 5

Fair '
N 5

Poor III 3
TOTAL: 24

Answer: The rates of 3 and below consist of good (3), fair (2), and poor (1).
Their frequencies are 5, 5, and 3, respectively. Adding these three frequencies will
result to 13, the number of passengers who gave a rating of 3 and below.

319
Example 3 Mr. Guce, a Grade 6 English teacher in San Antonio Central School, asked his
12 pupils about their weekly allowance. Make a frequency table of the following
data he collected. How many pupils have an allowance of, at least, P25O.00?

Weekly Allowance of Grade 6 Pupils

3OO.00 P25O.00 P225.00 P35O.00

P500.00 8O.00 P32O.00 P275.00

P5O.00 P75.00 4OO.00 P18O.00

When the data contains many different values, group the data into equal
intervals.

Solution:
Make a frequency table.

Allowance Tally Frequency

45O.00-549.00 I 1

35O.00-449.00 II 2

25O.00-349.00 1111

15O.00-249.00 Il 2

P5O.00-149.00 Ill 3

TOTAL 12

How many pupils have an allowance of "at least" P25O.00? The word
"at least" means "no less than" or "at the minimum". Let's start counting the
frequencies from 25O.00, it covers three intervals in our frequency table (25O.00—
P349.00, 35O.00-449.00, and P45O.00-549.00) with frequencies of 4,2, and 1,
respectively. So, the number of pupils with at least P25O.00 weekly allowance is 7.

Example 4 The following are the weights of Grade 6 pupils.


Grade 6 pupils' weights in lbs:
93 87 91 104 108 81 93 100 107
118 97 83 103 108 101 87 88 114
86 92 91 97 99 102 lii 101 95
80 110 96 96 98 104 101 106 94
Use a 5-point interval beginning with the lightest weight. How many pupils
weigh about100 ibs?

320
Solution:
Make a frequency table.
Weight (Ibs) Tally Frequency
80-84 III 3
85-89 tIM 4
90-94 NI 6

95-99 NUt 7

100-104 I.nj III 8

105-109 lIlt 4
110-114 III 3
115-119 1
TOTAL 36

To answer the question, the phrase "about 100 ibs" means estimation. The
weighs ranging 95 Ibs-104 lbs is about 100 lbs. Based on the frequency table
above, there are 7 pupils weighing 95-99 lbs and 8 pupils weighing 100-104 lbs.
Therefore, there are 7 + 8 = 15 pupils weighing about 100 lbs.

EXPLAIN
When we look for information to help us make important decisions, we often find the
information in the form of graphs. A lot of newspapers regularly use graphs to help readers to
compare amounts or see trends. One of these graphs is the pie graph.
Pie graphs ar used to show the percentage of a quantity in each of the several categories.
It can also be used to easily visualize the ratio of one category to another.

a. Which continent has the largest number of OFWs?


The largest section of the graph, 83%, represents those who are working
in Asia.
b. What percent of OFWs are working in Australia?
We see that 2% of the OFWs are working in Australia.

327
c. Which continent has 7% of the total number of OFWs?
Seven percent of the OFWs are working in Europe.
d. How many OFWs are working in Africa?
The section of the graph representing OFWs in Africa is 2%; 2% of
2.3 million is 46 000.
2% x 2.3 million -9 2 300 000
x 0.02
46 000.00 —, 46 000
Thus, 46 000 of the OFWs are working in Africa.
e. How many OFWs are working in North and South America?
The graph shows that 6% of the OFWs are working in North and South
America; 6% of 2.3 million is 138 000.
6% x 2.3 million —' 2 300 000

138 000.00 138 000
So, there are 138 000 Filipino workers in North and South America.
What percent of OFWs are working in Europe and Asia?
The percentage of OFWs working in Europe is 7%, while in Asia, it
is 83%. So, the percentage of Filipino workers in Europe and Asia is 90%.
g. How many OFWs are working in Europe and Asia?
The graph shows that 7% of the OFWs are working in Europe; 7% of
2.3 million is 161 000. In Asia, 83% of the OFWs; 83% of 2.3 million is
1 909 000.

The number of Filipinos workers working overseas in Europe and Asia
is 2 070 000.
h. How many more OFWs are working in North and South America than in
Africa?
The number of OFWs working in North and South America is 6% of
2.3 million (138 000). In Africa, it is 2% of 2.3 million (46 000). The differ-
ence when 46 000 is subtracted from 138 000 is 92 000.

328
Africa: 2% x 2.3 million - 2 300 000

Example 4 Mr. Palma asked 50 'Grade 6 pupils if they use the Internet during weekends and
how many hours they spend in using it. The pie graph below shows the results.
Number of Hours Spent Using Internet During Weekends

10 hours or more

7-9 hours
a. How many pupils use the Internet for 0-3 hours during weekends?
30%x50=15 -' 50
x 0.70
15 -+ 15
Fifteen pupils are using Internet for 0-3 hours.
b. How many pupils use the Internet for at least 7 hours?
At least 7 hours cover the time usage of 7 hours and above. Based on
the graph, there are two percentages which satisfies this condition- 20%
(7-9 hours) and 10% (10-above hours). To get the exact number of pupils:
(20%+ 10%)x50=30%x50= 15
There were 15 pupils who use the Internet for at least 7 hours.
c. How many pupils use the Internet for no more than 6 hours?
No more than 6 hours covers the time 0-6, so:
(30% + 40%) x 50= 70% x 50 -' 50
x 0.70
35.00 - 35
Thus, 35 pupils use the Internet for no more than 6 hours.

happen". In the question above, the chance that it will rain today is 75%.
Using a number line ranging from 0 to 1, we can locate 75%.
75%=0.75

0 0.1 0:2 0:3 0.4 0.5 0.6 O.7° 0:8 0:9 1

Based on the number line, we can say that the event that it will
rain today is likely to happen because the number is closer to 1 or 100%.
The chance that something will happen is called Probability.

EXPLAIN
Probability is used to describe how likely or unlikely it is that
something will happen. Probability may be given in fraction, decimal, or
percent. The value of probability ranges from 0 to 1 (0 means the event
is impossible to happen, while 1 means the event is certain to happen).
Probability will help us decide how often something is likely to
happen, but it will never help you exactly when that event will happen
unless the probability is 0 (it will never happen) or 1 (it will surely
happen).
The event is unlikely to happen when its probability is closer
to 0, like winning a jackpot in a lottery where you only have one in a
million chance of winning. The most likely to happen an event is, the
closer its probability to 1.

Study the following examples.

Example 1 Use impossible, most unlikely, as likely as unlikely, most likely, and certain to
describe each of the following statements.
a. It will snow tomorrow.
The climate of the Philippines is tropical, it is impossible to snow.
b. The likelihood that 2 people in any group of 15 will have the same birthday
is about 8%.
Since the probability is closer to 0%, matching birthdays in a group of
15 is most unlikely (but not impossible).
c. The weather forecaster says there is a 50% chance of rain today.
This means that the chance to rain today is as likely as it is unlikely. It
does not mean that it will rain nor will not rain today.
d. The sports' analyst says that Manny Pacquiao has 75% chance of winning
his fight.
This means that Manny Pacquiao is likely to win his fight. It does not
mean that he will win the fight. So, if he does not win, don't say the analyst
is wrong.
e. The sun will rise tomorrow.
It is certain that the sun will rise every day. So, the probability of the
sun rising is 100%.

Example 2 Edward and Tim are playing a game. Edward has just flipped a coin to determine
who will have the first turn. Place a star on the line segment below to indicate the
probability of the coin landing on a head.

impossible As likely Certain


As unlikely

If Edward flipped a coin, it is as likely as unlikely to land as head or tail.

Example 3 There are I yellow, 2 blue, and 2 gray cubes in a box. Without looking, what is
the likelihood of picking a yellow cube out of the box?
There are a total of 5 cubes inside the box (1 yellow + 2 blue + 2 gray
5 total). This is represented as the denominator. The numerator tells how many
yellow cube is in the box, which is I. The chance of picking a yellow cube is -
(1 out of 5) or 20%. So, it is unlikely to pick yellow out of the box.

Y— yellow
B—Blue
G—Grey

Example 4 Observe the spinner below. What is the probability of the spinner landing on a
planet other than Jupiter?

It is likely to happen. There are three out of four or or 75 % chance of


landing on a planet other than Jupiter.

Example 5 Look at the spinner at the right. Write and describe the
probability of landing on:
a. 1 b. 3or5
c. even number d. 7

336
Solutions:
The spinner can land on 6 different regions numbered I to 6.

a. The chance of landing on I is 1 out of 6 or or 16.67%, so it is more unlikely to


happen that the spinner will land on i. 6

b. For the spinner to land on either 3 or 5 is unlikely to happen. The chance is 2 out of

6 or or 33.33%.
3
c. There are three even numbers (2, 4, 6) on the spinner. The probability of landing on
one of these numbers is - or or 50%. Therefore, we can describe the probability
as equally likely or as likely as unlikely.
d. It is impossible for the spinner to land on 7 because there is no 7 on the spinner.
Therefore, the probability of this event to happen is 0.

KEY IDEAS -
• Probability is used to describe how likely or unlikely it is that something will happen. It is the
number that we use to describe and express that likelihood.
• The event is unlikely to happen when its probability is closer to 0.
• The event is most likely to happen if its probability is closer to 1.
• As likely as unlikely events have the same chance of happening.
• An event that is certain must happen.
• An impossible event cannot happen.
• Possible outcomes are each of the outcomes that could result from an experiment.

we can use.

Listing and Tree Diagrams


To calculate probability, we need to know all the different things
that can happen. A sample space is a list of all the possible outcomes
of an activity or experiments.

342
Example 1 Suppose you spin the spinner. Make a sample space for the spin.
Solution:
The spinner can land on 8 different regions. To
make the sample space, list all the possible outcomes
of the spin.
Answer: The sample space is: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2.

Example 2 Look at the menu below. How many ways can you order snacks?

HAMBURGERS

343
In the diagram, we can see that, for each of the three kinds of hamburgers, there are two
beverage choices. Thus, 3 x 2 6, there are 6 ways to order snacks.

Theoretical and Experimental Probability


We can also use theoretical probability to predict the results of a probability experiment.
In general, as the number of attempts in an experiment increases, experimental probability gets
closer to theoretical probability.

When we use a formula to find the probability of an event, we are finding the
theoretical probability.
Theoretical Probability of an event is the number of ways that an event can
occur divided by the total number of outcomes.
number of favorable outcomes
Theoretical Probability (event)
number of possible outcomes

Experimental Probability of an event is the ratio of the number of times an


event occurs to the total number of trials or times the activity is performed.

We can also find the probability of an event by doing an experiment. When we


do this, we are finding experimental probability.

number of times favorable outcomes occur


Experimental Probability (event)
number of trials in the experiments

Experimental probability is used in most real-life situations when the probabilities cannot
be determined theoretically.

Example 3 There are 6 possible ways for a die (singular of dice) to turn up.

S . . •. • • S S
S S • . •
S S S S • S • •

a. What is the probability of rolling a 1? a 2? a 5?


Each number is equally likely to occur, so:
number of favorable outcomes 1
Probability (1) = . —
number of possible outcomes 6

number of favorable outcomes 1


Probability (2) number of possible outcomes — 6

344
number of favorable outcomes — 1
Probabilit' (5)
number of possible outcomes 6

b. How many ways will an even number occur?


There are 3 possible ways (2, 4, and 6) of rolling an even number.

c. What is the probability that an even number will occur?


We have 3 even numbers (2, 4, 6), so:
number of favorable outcomes 3 1
Probability (even number) — = = — or 50%
number of possible outcomes 6 2

Example 4 PhilJet Airlines offers its flight attendants a variety of uniform styles from which
they can choose. The jackets come in both red and blue. The blouses come in red,
white, and blue.
a. How many uniforms are possible?
b. What is the probability of wearing a uniform with a red jacket and blue
blouse?
c. What is the probability of wearing a uniform with red blouse?

Solution:
Let's make a tree diagram to show all the possible uniforms.

Red Red jacket, red blouse

Red White Red jacket, white blouse

Blue Red jacket, blue blouse


Uniform

Red Blue jacket, red blouse

Blue White Blue jacket, white blouse

Blue Blue jacket, blue blouse

Now, let's answer each question using the tree diagram.


a. How many uniforms are possible?
There are 6 possible uniforms.
b. What is the probability of wearing a uniform with a red jacket and a blue
blouse?

345
There are 6possible uniforms, and 1 uniform with red jacket and blue blouse;
so:
number of favorable outcomes 1
Probability (red jacket and blue blouse) = =
number of possible outcomes 6
c. What is the probability of wearing a uniform with red blouse?
There are 2 possible ways to wear a uniform with red blouse and any of the
two jackets. Thus,
number of favorable outcomes 2 1
Probability(uniformwithredblouse) — =—=—
number of possible outcomes 6 3

Sometimes we can make predictions using the data from past events. Consider example 5.

Example 5 The manager of Great Adventure Amusement Park took a random survey of 100
visitors to the park. They summarized the results in the following table:

Favorite Ride No. of Visitors Age No. of Visitors

Dragon Express 40 3-11 23

Bump Cars 30 12-20 35

Star Frisbee 18 21-40 26

Others 12 41—above 16

A crowd of 5000 visitors is expected at Great Adventure over the weekend.


Predict how many of these visitors will be under 21 years of age.
1. To find the probability:
a. Add the number of visitors ages 3-11 and 12-20, that is;
23
+ 35
58
b. Use theoretical probability formula.
number of favorable outcomes =
= 0.58
Probability (under 21) number of possible outcomes 100

346
2. Multiply the probability by the number of expected visitors.
5000
x 0.58
40000
+ 25000
2900.00 —' 2900
Great Adventure can expect 2900 of these visitors to be under
21 years of age.

Example 6 How many times would the coin land on heads if you tossed it 50 times?
Solution.
We can predict the number of times an outcome will occur by multiplying
its probability by the number of attempts.
1
Probability (heads) x number of tosses = x 50 = 25

Answer: The probability is that we can toss heads 25 times out of 50.

Example 7 A bag contains 12 red marbles, 8 blue marbles, and 4 yellow marbles. Find the
theoretical and experimental probabilities of getting a blue marble.

Method 1: Theoretical Probability


There are 8 blue marbles. Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes is 8.
There are a total of 24 marbles. Therefore, the number of possible outcomes
is24.
Using the formula, we have
number of favorable outcomes = 8
Theoretical Pr obability(event) =
number of possible outcomes 24

P(blue marble) = --
24

P(blue marble) =

Therefore, the theoretical probability of getting a blue marble is

Method 2: Experimental Probability


Solution:
1. Take a marble from the bag.
2. Record the color and return the marble in the bag.
3. Repeat the process (at least 10 times).

4.7
4. Count the number of times a blue marble was picked (suppose it is 4).
Using the formula, we have
number of times favorable outcomes occur
Experimental Probabilit' (event) =
number of trials in the experiment

P(blue marble) =

Theoretical probability is what we expect to happen, where experimental proba-


bility is what actually happens when we try it out. As more trials conducted, the
experimental probability generally gets closer to the theoretical probability.
Example 8 A medical study tests a new medicine on 4 800 participants. It is effective for 4200
participants. Find the experimental probability that the medicine is effective.

The expenmental probability that the medicine is effective is , or 87.5%.

Also, there is only one way to get the sum of 12.

P(black, then black) = P(black) x P(black)
Since we have the condition "without replacement":
First draw:

4 >Take Care of Your Book

Dos:

1. Cover your book with plastic or manila paper. Old newspapers and
magazines will do.

5. Paste or tape immediately any torn pages.
6. Handle the book with care when passing it from one person to another.
7. Always keep your book in a clean, dry place.
8. When you lose your book, report it to your teacher right away.

Don'ts:

1. Do not fold the pages.


2. Do not write on the cover or pages.
3. Do not cut out any picture.
4. Never tear or detach any page.
5. Do not leave the book open or lying face down when not in use.
6. Do not use pencils, ballpens, or thick objects as bookmarks.
7. Do not force the book into a packed schoolbag.
