Practice Competency Test:

Solving Maths Problems:
An equation is a combination of math expressions.

Word problems are a series of expressions that fits into an equation.
There are two steps to solving math word problems:
1. Translate the wording into a numeric equation that combines smaller
"expressions".
2. Solve the equation!
Suggestions:
 Read the problem entirely
Get a feel for the whole problem
 List information and the variables you identify
Attach units of measure to the variables (gallons, miles, inches, etc.)
 Define what answer you need,
as well as its units of measure
 Work in an organized manner
Working clearly will help you think clearly
 Draw and label all graphs and pictures clearly
 Note or explain each step of your process;
this will help you track variables and remember their meanings
 Look for the "key" words (above)
Certain words indicate certain mathematical operations:
Key words for addition ( + ) :
increased by; more than; combined together; total of; sum; added to
What is the sum of 8 and y?
Express the total weight of the mast (x) and antenna (y).
Key words for Subtraction ( - ) :
less than, fewer than, reduced by, decreased by, difference of
What is four less than y.
What is the difference in the mass of the beams x and the columns y.
Key words for multiplication ( * or  ):
of, times, multiplied by
What is y multiplied by 13.
A car drives at 105 kilometres per hour. How far will it go in x hours?
Key words for division ( ÷ or / )
per, a; out of; ratio of, quotient of; percent (divide by 100).
What is the quotient of x and 3.
y machines produce a total of 3457. Express their average production

Lesson 1 – The Four Basic Operations
Lesson 1 – The Four Basic Operations:
Required Skills:
 Determine the result of a mathematical expression using addition.
 Determine the result of a mathematical expression using subtraction.
 Determine the result of a mathematical expression by multiplication.
 Determine the result of a mathematical expression by division.
 Calculate the result of a compound mathematical expression consisting of
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
Required Knowledge:
 The difference between a whole number, decimal percentage and fraction.
 Multiplication and division is carried out before addition and subtraction.
 Laying out calculations on paper in a logical manner.
The Four Mathematics Operations:

The basic understanding of the use of arithmetic and mathematics without the aid of
mobile phones, calculators and computers is an essential skill required for engineers,
technicians, and people working in the trades. The first instinct is to reach for some
electronic means to do a simple calculation but what happens if the mobile phone
batteries go flat, or worse the phone is dropped in the water or under the wheels of a
150 tonne earth moving machine? The calculations must be worked out in the head or
at the very least approximated by applying mathematics learned at school and at
College.
The four basic mathematical operations are:
 Addition
 Subtraction
 Multiplication
 Division
To effectively operate in engineering fields, everyone must know the 4 basic operations
of addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication () and division (), and how they are
applied to whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.
Addition:
Addition is a mathematical operation that represents combining collections of
objects together into a larger collection. It is signified by the plus sign (+).
Each number being added is called an addend while the total, which is the answer to
the addition problem, is called the sum.
4 addend 9 addend
+3 addend +4 addend
7 sum 13 sum
Adding numbers with 1 digit is reasonably straightforward. In general, it mentally can be
calculated mentally or by the use of fingers. Adding zero to a number never changes the
number.

Look at the following problems and select the incorrect answer.

A B C D E F G H I
2 7 4 5 5 6 6 7 9
+6 +3 +8 +6 +5 +9 +7 +8 +8
8 10 12 11 10 13 13 15 17
If you selected F you are correct as 6+9=15; NOT 13.
Adding numbers with 2 or more digits is a bit more challenging so when we have to add
57 and 34 together. The result can be determined using the Expanded Notation method
or placing the numbers into columns and carrying numbers over.
Expanded Notation:
To calculate the sum the numbers are broken down into basic elements:
57 = 50 (tens) + 7 (ones)
34 = 30 (tens) + 4 (ones)
The ones are totalled first 7 + 4 = 11 or 1 (ten) + 1 (ones).
The tens are totalled next, 50 + 30 + 10 = 90 or 90 (tens) + 1 (ones) = 91.
Columns:
The same result can be achieved by arranging the numbers into columns where the
ones, tens, hundreds are lined vertically below each other.
57
+34
91
The one (right) column is totalled first, then the tens (next left), then the hundreds (3 rd
column from the right) and so on. Where the ones column totals more then 10, the
number 0 to 9 is placed in the answer line and the ten number carried over to the ten
column.
1
57
+34
91
7 + 4 = 11
Subtraction:
Subtraction is one of the four basic arithmetic operations; it is the inverse of addition
meaning that if we start with any number and add any number and then subtract the
same number we added, we return to the number we started with. Subtraction is
denoted by a minus (-).
Instead of adding 2 numbers to get a sum, one number is removed from the other to get
the difference. The following are simple subtractions:
9 8 6 11 16
-4 -7 -2 -3 -6
5 1 4 8 10

In the first example, if 9 – 4 = 5 is related to money, if you had $9 and bought an item
for $4 you would have $5 left.
Subtractions with one digit are fairly simple however subtractions with 2 or more digits
can become more complicated especially when a digit being subtracted is larger than the
other digit; eg. 93 – 6.
As in addition the result can be determined using the expanded notation or column
methods.
Expanded Notation:
As with additions, the numbers are broken down into basic elements:
93 = 9 tens + 3 ones 8 tens + 13 ones
or
-6 = 6 ones -6 ones
8 tens + 7 ones
= 87
In the above example, the 9-10’s is reduced to 8-10’s and the 3-1’s is increased to 13-
1’s. The ones can then be subtracted (13 – 6 = 7) and added to the 8-10’s to give 87.
Columns:
Since 6 can not be subtracted from 3, 10 is borrowed from the 10’s column and then
paid back.
13
9 3
-1 6
8 7
In the above example, 10 is borrowed from the 9 to turn the 3 into 13 therefore 13–
6=7; the 10 is then paid back to the tens column, 9 – 1 = 8. The final answer is 87.
Multiplication:
Multiplication is the mathematical operation of scaling one number by another. It is one
of the four basic operations in elementary arithmetic. The multiplication is denoted by
the symbol (x).
Numbers being multiplied are called Factors, while the result or answer to the multiplied
figures is called the Product. A solid knowledge of the multiplication tables is
recommended to successfully multiply.
3 factor 8 factor
2 factor 3 factor
6 product 24 product
The easiest multiplication we can perform is the one with one digit because all we need
is a good remembrance of a multiplication table.
8 9 6 10 5
4 3 1 0 5
32 27 6 0 25
Multiplying a two-digit number by a one-digit number is a little bit more fun but can
easily be calculated using the Expanded Notation method.
Let’s look at 53x7 using the Expanded Notation and Columns methods.
Expanded Notation:
53 = 5 tens and 3 ones
7 =  7 ones
35 tens and 21 ones
35+2 tens and 1 one
371
The 21 ones break down to 2 tens and 1 one with the 2 tens being added to the 35 tens
to give 37 tens and 1 one or 371.
Columns:
As with addition and subtraction, multiplication can be done by laying the calculation out
in column form.
Method 1:
53 factor
7 factor
21 Ones - 3  7
350 Tens - 5  70
371 product
Method 2:
20 carry over
53 factor
7 factor
371 product
3x7=21 1 is placed on the answer line and 2 is carried over to the tens column.
7x5=35+2=37 and is placed next to the 1.
Keep the columns neat and carry over

numbers clear and neat.
Dividing Whole Numbers:

Dividing whole numbers is the opposite of multiplying whole numbers. It is the process
by which we try to find out how many times a number (divisor) is contained in another
number (dividend). The resulting answer is called the quotient. The symbol used to
designate divide is .
6 quotient
5 )30 dividend
divisor
Long Division:
At times when the number or dividend is too long to simply divide, the Long Division
method should be used to calculate the answer or quotient. The division is laid out in
the same manner but there are several lines under breaking up the long number into
shorter sections.

Example 1-1:
Divide 1645 by 7 or 1645  7
Step 1:
7 )1645
Lay the division out as shown.
Step 2:
2
7 )1645
7 will go into 16, twice so 2 is placed above the line.
Step 3:
2
7 )1645
14
27=14; 14 is placed below the 16.
Step 4:
2
7 )1645
14
2
Subtract 14 from 16 = 2
Step 5:
2
7 )1645
14
24
Cary the 4 down next to the 2 to give a figure of 24.
Step 6:
23
7 )1645
14
24
24  7 is 3 so 3 is placed in the quotient next to 2.
Step 7:
23
7 )1645
14
24
21
37=21; 21 is placed below the 24.

Step 8:
23
7 )1645
14
24
21
3
Subtract 21 from 24 = 3.
Step 9:
23
7 )1645
14
24
21
35
Cary the 5 down next to the 3 to give a figure of 35.
Step 10:
235
7 )1645
14
24
21
35
35  7 is 5, so 5 is placed in the quotient next to 23.
Step 11:
235
7 )1645
14
24
21
35

0
57=35; 35 is placed below the 35 and when subtracted leaves 0.
The final answer is 235.

Order of Operations:
Since the early days of ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, Mathematicians have agreed
on a definite order of doing the 4 operations (+, – , ,  ) otherwise confusion would
occur.
Working from left to right, Multiplication and

Division are calculated before additions and
subtractions.
 First: Work out any grouping of symbols or brackets.

 Second: Work out any multiplication and division as they occur from left to right.
 Third: Work out any addition and subtraction as they occur from left to right.
From the following example, which is the correct answer; A or B?

A 5 + 3  4 = 17
B 5 + 3  4 = 32
As any multiplication must be done before any addition, then the answer would be
5+12=17 as answer A is correct. For B to be correct
The agreed Order of Operations is often remembered as B O D M A S or Brackets Of
Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction.
