212 Chapter 16 16.3 Solving more complex equations ● I can solve equations involving two operations Some equations, such as 2n + 9 = 17, have two operations. This example includes the two operations multiplication and addition. To solve equations like this, you need to use inverse operations. Develop fluency Solve these equations. a 4a – 9 = 35 b 3a + 8 = 41 c 3(k + 2) = 27 d d 4 – 6 = 14 a 4a – 9 = 35 4a = 35 + 9 First add 9 to both sides. 4a = 44 a = 44 ÷ 4 Now divide both sides by 4. a = 11 You can see that to ‘undo’ a subtraction you do an addition. To ‘undo’ a multiplication you do a division. These are inverse operations. b 3a + 8 = 41 3a = 33 First subtract 8 from both sides. a = 33 ÷ 3 Now divide both sides by 3. a = 11 Here, to ‘undo’ an addition, you do a subtraction. c 3(k + 2) = 27 k + 2 = 9 First divide both sides by 3: 27 ÷ 3 = 9 k = 7 Then subtract 2 from both sides: 9 – 2 = 7 In this case, because of the brackets, you do the division first. The inverse of ‘multiply by 3’ is ‘divide by 3’. The inverse of ‘add 2’ is ‘subtract 2’. d d 4 – 6 = 14 d 4 = 20 First add 6 to both sides: 14 + 6 = 20 d = 80 Then multiply both sides by 4: 20 × 4 = 80 The inverse of ‘divide by 4’ is ‘multiply by 4’.

218 Chapter 16 Solve problems Kate thinks of a number. First she subtracts 13, then she multiplies by 4. a Call Kate’s number k. Write an expression for her answer. b Kate’s answer is 72. Write an equation to show this. c Solve the equation to find Kate’s initial number. a After subtracting 13 from her number, Kate has k – 13. She then multiplies this by 4 to get 4(k – 13). The expression for Kate’s answer is 4(k – 13). b The equation for Kate’s answer is 4(k – 13) = 72. c 4(k – 13) = 72 k – 13 = 18 First divide both sides by 4: 72 ÷ 4 = 18 k = 31 Then add 13 to both sides: 18 + 13 = 31 Kate’s initial number is 31. 13 Mrs George said, ‘Think of a number, subtract 3 and then multiply the answer by 4.

Explain your answer a 45 is a quarter of 180, and 900 is a quarter of the pie chart, so a cruise was chosen by 45 pupils. b The UK selection is shown by a sector of 1200, this represents 120 360 = 1 3, so Tara is correct. 120á 30á 120á Abroad Cruise None UK Holidays 9 The pie chart shows the results of a survey of 144 children, when they were asked about their favourite TV programmes.

How much waste did the country dispose of by: a putting it into landfill b burning it c dumping it at sea d chemical treatment? a 1 2of the waste was put into landfill. 1 2of 3000 kg = 1500 kg So, 1500 kg of the waste was put into landfill. c The angle of this sector is 30°. Then the fraction of the circle is: 30 360 = 1 12 Therefore 1 12 of the waste was dumped at sea. 3000 kg ÷ 12 = 250 kg So, 250 kg of the waste was dumped at sea. b 1 4 of the waste was burned. 1 4 of 3000 kg = 3000 kg ÷ 4 = 750 So, 750 kg of the waste was burned. d The angle of this sector is 60°. Then the fraction of the circle is: 60 360 = 1 6 Therefore 1 6of the waste was treated by chemicals. 3000 kg ÷ 6 = 500 kg So, 500 kg of the waste was treated by chemicals.

228 Chapter 17 17.3 Grouped frequencies ● I can understand and use grouped frequencies Sometimes you are given too many different values to make a sensible bar chart, so you need to organise them into a grouped frequency table. You sort the data into groups called classes. Where possible, you should always keep the classes the same size. You can then draw a bar chart. You cannot find a mode for grouped data so, instead, you must use the modal class. This is the class with the highest frequency.

This type of data is continuous data and you have to group it together, to find any pattern. In a grouped frequency table, you arrange information into classes or groups of data. You can create frequency diagrams from grouped frequency tables, to illustrate the data. Develop fluency These are the journey times, in minutes, for a group of 16 railway travellers. 25 47 12 32 28 17 20 43 15 34 45 22 19 36 44 17 Construct a frequency table to represent the data. Looking at the data, 10 minutes is a sensible size for the class interval. There are six times in the group 10 < T ≤ 20: 12, 17, 20, 15, 19 and 17. There are three times in the group 20 < T ≤ 30: 25, 28 and 22. There are three times in the group 30 < T ≤ 40: 32, 34 and 36. There are four times in the group 40 < T ≤ 50: 47, 43, 45 and 44. Note how you write the class interval in the form 10 < T ≤ 20. 10 < T ≤ 20 is a short way of writing the time interval of 10 minutes to 20 minutes. The possible values for T include 20 minutes but not 10 minutes. Put all the information in a table.

243 18.2 18.2 Short and long division ● I can choose a written method for dividing one number by another ● I can use written methods to carry out divisions accurately There are many different ways to work out a division calculation, including long division, short division and repeated subtraction. Divisions do not always give whole number answers. There is sometimes a number left over. This is called the remainder. You will often need to add some decimal places and continue the division. You may sometimes want your answer with a remainder or written as a fraction.

Length is measured in metres, m. Capacity is measured in litres, L. Mass is measured in grams, g. You can use this diagram to help you convert units. Learn the prefix for each sub-unit. For example, to convert mm (millimetres) to metres (the unit), divide by 1000. milli- cent- unit kilo- × 1000 × 10 ÷ 1000 × 1000 ÷ 10 ÷ 1000 × 100 ÷ 100 When adding or subtracting metric amounts that are given in different units, you need to convert so that they are in same units first.

The pieces of rope are 62cm, 1.08m and 340mm. She loses 0.14m of length for each knot. How long is the new piece of rope? Convert to the same units. Choose a sensible unit. In this case, centimetres is sensible. 1.08m = 108cm 1.08 × 100 = 108 340mm = 34cm 340 ÷ 10=34 0.14m = 14cm 0.14 × 100 = 14 Add and subtract the units. 62 + 108 + 34 – (14 × 2) = 176cm 15 A kitten is born weighing 174g.

Method 1 Convert each unit to cm and find the area. 200mm = 20cm 300mm = 30cm 20cm × 30cm = 600cm2 Method 2 Find the area in mm2 and convert to cm2. 1cm2 =102mm2 = 100mm2 200mm × 300mm = 60000mm2 60000mm2 = 600cm2 As 60000 ÷ 100 = 600 Method 2 is sometimes easier depending on the information given in the problem. You can use this method if you are only given an area or volume and not the individual side lengths. Note that to convert between cubic units, just cube the conversion factor.
