Hey Mr. Williams! Im really confused about the whole adding and subracting fractions thing
Can you give me some pages in the book to help me understand it? Thanks

Maddie,
To be able to add or subtract fractions you need to have the same number on the bottom. Try writing a list of possibles for each of the fractions you use.
eg 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 etc
Once you have two lists then pick the ones with the same numbers on the bottom and add them.
There is a short cut; see if you can spot it- good luck

Christabel,
To multiply fractions you need to simplify and then top x top and bottom x bottom. To simplify try to divide a number on the top and a num,ber on the bottom by the same thing.
eg
3 x 4
_ _
8 9
You can cancel the 4 and 8 because they cna both be divided by 4.
You’ll get
3 x 1
- -
2 9
Now cancel the 3 and 9 by dividing by 3.

dear mr w
i didn’t understand the last 4 or 5 questions i also still don’t understand how you change a decimal into a fraction or percentage.please could you give me some pages in the text book and also another explanation?

Lou
Changing a decimal into a fraction:
eg 0.45 the 4 is the first decimal place and so represents tenths, in this case 4 tenths or 4/10.
The 5 is the second decimal place and represents hundreths, so 5/100.
So we have 4/10 and 5/100. Adding these fractions together we get 45/100.
Into a percentage:
Percent means out of 100 so 45/100 is the same as 45%.
I haven’t got the textbook with me and so I’ll have to give you a page reference tomorrow.
I’ll need to have a look at the questions as well.

how would you do a question like this?
6 and a half% converted to a fraction?
By: feena on May 24, 2008
at 3:42 pm
Hi Feena,
Start with what a percentage is – a fraction over 100.
6 and a half % = 6.5 /100
To get rid of the half, double the top and the bottom to form an equivalent fraction: 13/200.
Once you get to this stage, you have a fraction which may or may not simplify. If it will, you cancel it down to its lowest terms (this one doesn’t).
Hope that helps.

thanks, also how do you work out liner equations with brackets?
i am stuck with this one
3(x-1) +4x=18.
By: feena on May 25, 2008
at 12:58 pm
You need to multiply out the bracket first so that all the terms are separate.
Remember the bracket means that both the x and the -1 have to be multiplied by 3:
3x – 3 + 4x = 18
Now tidy up the x terms and the number terms and you can then solve it to find the value of x.
Don’t forget CHANGE SIDE, CHANGE SIGN!
When you get your answer, go back to the beginning and see if it actually works in the equation. If it does, you’ve got it right; if it doesn’t, you’ve got it wrong!
Have fun

hi,
i really didn’t understand question 23 on the year 8 practice paper and how to work it out
By: Frances.M on May 28, 2008
at 2:19 pm
Frances,
You can either
a) make a table of values for x and y. Choose 3 different values of x within the range you are given. Then plot these and join up (hopefully in a straight line!),
or
b) use the equation y = mx + c to give you the y-intercept (c) and the gradient (m) and use these to draw the line.
Hope this helps.

thanks
also i was wondering if for the equation y=5x-2 would the gradient be 5 and the intercept be 2?
thanks
By: Frances.m on May 30, 2008
at 11:26 am
Frances,
Gradient of 5 is correct, but the y-intercept would be -2.

Hi! just wondering, are there going to be any more mocks for yr8 to do? I have already done the non-calculater one.
Thanks!

Fatima,
No, I’m afraid not. You’ll have to work using the revision exercises in your textbook for topics needing extra revision practice.

hi everyone
im not sure what will be in the calculator exam?
By: Frances.m on May 31, 2008
at 1:54 pm
Frances,
This is not an exhaustive list as I’m just thinking through what we’ve covered in Year 8 Mathematics, but it would include:
Circles (using the pi button on your calculator)
Formulae (where you might substitute numbers into a formula)
Solving all the kinds of equations covered this year
Calculations of speed, distance and time.
Ratios
Calculations using fractions, decimals and percentages.
Hope this gives you at least a pointer.
Remember that other things can be included that may not need a calculator too.
