1.4 POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE DECIMALS

To perform addition, subtraction, multiplication or division on decimals.

To add and subtract decimals

Example :

a) 1.12 + 3.1 = b) 3.2 – 1.04 =

c) – 6.1 – 3.22 = d) – 5.4 + 3.31 =

e) 1.5 + ( – 2.7 ) = f) – 0.9 + ( – 1.5 ) =

g) – 5.6 – ( + 4.4 ) = h) 4.7 – ( – 3.6 ) + (– 6.2 ) =

i) – 5.7 – ( – 32.5 ) – ( – 2.9) = j) – 5.7 – ( 0.5 ) – ( – 4.9) =

To multiply and divide decimals

Example :

a) 3.2 × 0.3 = b) 4.5 × (– 0.4) =

c) (–11.1) × (– 0.2) = d) (– 0.2) × 8.3 × (– 0.3) =

e) 2.1 ÷ 0.3 = f) (–42) ÷ (0.6) =

g) 6.4 ÷ (–4) = h) (– 5.1) × 0.5 ÷ (– 5) =

i) (– 2.8) ÷ 0.4 ×(–0.3) = j) 4.86 ÷ (–0.6) ×(–0.32) =

1.5. Computations Involving Directed Numbers ( integers, fractions and


decimals)

To add, subtract, multiply or divide two directed numbers

a) b)

c) d)

Combined operations including the use of brackets on directed numbers

e) 7 + 24 + ( 5) = f) 31 x 13) + 47=

g) 4( 12 + 6) ÷ 3 = h) 9 ÷ 3 + 7 × 4 ÷ 2 =

i) 7(5 + 3) ÷ 4(9 - 2) = j) =

1. Adding Rules:

Positive + Positive = Positive: 5 + 4 = 9


Negative + Negative = Negative: (- 7) + (- 2) = - 9

Sum of a negative and a positive number: Use the sign of the larger number and
subtract

(- 7) + 4 = -3
6 + (-9) = - 3
(- 3) + 7 = 4
5 + ( -3) = 2

2. Subtracting Rules:

Negative - Positive = Negative: (- 5) - 3 = -5 + (-3) = -8


Positive - Negative = Positive + Positive = Positive: 5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8
Negative - Negative = Negative + Positive = Use the sign of the larger number and
subtract (Change double negatives to a positive)
(-5) - (-3) = ( -5) + 3 = -2
(-3) - ( -5) = (-3) + 5 = 2

3. Multiplying Rules:

Positive x Positive = Positive: 3 x 2 = 6


Negative x Negative = Positive: (-2) x (-8) = 16
Negative x Positive = Negative: (-3) x 4 = -12
Positive x Negative = Negative: 3 x (-4) = -12

4. Dividing Rules:

Positive ÷ Positive = Positive: 12 ÷ 3 = 4


Negative ÷ Negative = Positive: (-12) ÷ (-3) = 4
Negative ÷ Positive = Negative: (-12) ÷ 3 = -4
Positive ÷ Negative = Negative: 12 ÷ (-3) = -4
