P. 181 Try Q 1 and Q 2 Cavan to Kilkenny Q2 Q 3 a-eQ 4 read carefully try a and b Q 5 c and d and 6 c and Try q 7 a and then q 8 angles .p.182Try Q 1 b and c – remember there are 3 numbers after the decimal point so we count in 3 places in our answer i.e. 1 a 122.416

Try Q 2 b and c – now there are 2 numbers after the decimal point so we count in 2 places in our answer i.e. 2 a 1090.02Q 4 b,c,d Long division – look at the example on p. 31 of your text book if you need refreshing 4 a answer is 234.

Q 5, Q 6, Q 7 b,c,d now we have a decimal added in – look at the example p. 32 if you need refreshing on these – we just carry on as if the decimal isn’t there and put it in at the answer . Well done .Q8 how many degrees are in a triangle – yes 180 degrees.Q 9 adding fractions with different denominators – bottom numbers – remember we must have the same denominators to do the sum – look back at p.36 – the example is written across here but we always did them going down .Try b-e The answers to a = 7/9 as 1/3 changes to 3/9 . Then 3/9 +4/9 = 7/9.

Q 10 a = 4 ¼ Remember we add the whole numbers first try b- e

Q 11 multiply remember we can cancel in the x way Try c-e11 a = 1/12 11 b = 3/10

Q 12 a Put the whole number 4 over 1 ( 4/1) invert and multiply like we did in class Answer to a =16 Try b-d

Q 13 HCF highest common or same factor 13 a = 4 try b- 3.List all the factors of each number up to the highest number given and circle the numbers that are the same – look back to p. 69 if you need a reminder .Q 14 square or cubed 14a = 3x3= 9 14b = 2x2x2=8Try c-eNow try q 15 b-e. a = 27 .Q 16 a and b q 18 a and b and q 20 and b

p. 183Try Q 1 remember 100 cm = 1 m Q1a 138cm = 1.38m attempt b-eQ 2 2.36m = 236 cm try the rest of q 2 Q 3 remember 1000m =1 km 3a= 9768m= 9.768kn try the rest of Q3 .Q 4 a and 5 a – make sure to read the question carefully .Q 6 Time = Remember 60 minutes in one hour .Q 7 Complete the table ie. Fraction:1/5 = Decimal 0.2 = Percentage 20%TRY Q 8-10 a and b each question- remember that 12 ½% = 1/8 and that 37 1/2%= 3/8 when you are finding the answer .Well done for doing these – many types of Maths revised here !
