Exercise #5

Solve the following exercise and circle the appropriate answer:

22.1-12.0

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the exercise in order:

We'll subtract the tenths after the decimal point:

10=1 1-0=1

Finally, we'll subtract the whole numbers before the decimal point accordingly:

22=0 2-2=0

21=1 2-1=1

And we get:

22.112.010.1 22.1\\-12.0\\10.1

Answer

10.1

Exercise #6

Fill in the missing sign:

66.101 — 6.6101 66.101\text{ }_{—\text{ }}6.6101

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's compare the numbers in the following way:

We notice that before the decimal point, we have the number 66 versus the number 6

Since 66 is greater than 6, the appropriate sign is:

66.101 > 6.6101

Answer

>

Exercise #7

Fill in the missing sign:

2.021 — 20.21 2.021\text{ }_{—\text{ }}20.21

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's compare the numbers in the following way:

We notice that before the decimal point, we have the numbers 2 and 20

Since 20 is greater than 2, the appropriate sign is:

2.021 < 20.21

Answer

<

Exercise #8

8.5+5.2+8.4= 8.5+5.2+8.4=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We will break down each of the factors in the exercise into a whole number and its remainder.

We get:

8+0.5+5+0.2+8+0.4= 8+0.5+5+0.2+8+0.4=

Now we'll combine only the whole numbers:

8+5+8=13+8=21 8+5+8=13+8=21

Now we'll calculate the remainder:

0.5+0.2+0.4=0.7+0.4=1.1 0.5+0.2+0.4=0.7+0.4=1.1

And now we'll get the exercise:

21+1.1=22.1 21+1.1=22.1

Answer

22.1

Exercise #9

10.1x+5.2x+2.4x= 10.1x+5.2x+2.4x=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We will factor each of the terms in the exercise into a whole number and its remainder.

We get:

10x+0.1x+5x+0.2x+2x+0.4x= 10x+0.1x+5x+0.2x+2x+0.4x=

Now we'll combine only the whole numbers:

10x+5x+2x=15x+2x=17x 10x+5x+2x=15x+2x=17x

Now we'll calculate the remainder:

0.1x+0.2x+0.4x=0.3x+0.4x=0.7x 0.1x+0.2x+0.4x=0.3x+0.4x=0.7x

And now we'll get the exercise:

17x+0.7x=17.7x 17x+0.7x=17.7x

Answer

17.7X

Exercise #10

4.11.63.2+4.7=? 4.1\cdot1.6\cdot3.2+4.7=\text{?}

Step-by-Step Solution

We begin by converting the decimal numbers into mixed fractions:

4110×1610×3210+4710= 4\frac{1}{10}\times1\frac{6}{10}\times3\frac{2}{10}+4\frac{7}{10}=

We then convert the mixed fractions into simple fractions:

4110×1610×3210+4710= \frac{41}{10}\times\frac{16}{10}\times\frac{32}{10}+\frac{47}{10}=

We solve the exercise from left to right:

41×1610×10=656100 \frac{41\times16}{10\times10}=\frac{656}{100}

This results in the following exercise:

656100×3210+4710= \frac{656}{100}\times\frac{32}{10}+\frac{47}{10}=

We solve the multiplication exercise:

656×32100×10=20,9921,000 \frac{656\times32}{100\times10}=\frac{20,992}{1,000}

Now we get the exercise:

20,9921,000+4710= \frac{20,992}{1,000}+\frac{47}{10}=

We then multiply the fraction on the right so that its denominator is also 1000:

47×10010×100=4,7001,000 \frac{47\times100}{10\times100}=\frac{4,700}{1,000}

We obtain the exercise:

20,9921,000+4,7001,000=20,992+4,7001,000=25,6921,000 \frac{20,992}{1,000}+\frac{4,700}{1,000}=\frac{20,992+4,700}{1,000}=\frac{25,692}{1,000}

Lastly we convert the simple fraction into a decimal number:

25,6921,000=25.692 \frac{25,692}{1,000}=25.692

Answer

25.692
