Hint
Add the whole parts and decimal parts, then combine.
Year 7 - Q4.2.02
Find the missing number: \(\square+1.85=4.20\).
Hint
Use subtraction to undo the addition.
Year 7 - Q4.2.03
Which is the value of \(10-0.48\)?
\(9.62\)
\(9.52\)
\(10.48\)
\(9.48\)
Hint
Write the whole number with two decimal places before subtracting.
Year 7 - Q4.2.04
A snack costs \(3.75\) pounds and a drink costs \(2.60\) pounds. Find the change from a \(10\)-pound note.
Hint
Find the total cost before subtracting it from the payment.
Year 7 - Q4.2.05
A maker begins with \(12\,\mathrm{m}\) of cord and uses the lengths below. Find the total used and the length remaining.
| Task | Length in metres |
|---|---|
| A | \(3.45\) |
| B | \(2.8\) |
| C | \(4.075\) |
Hint
Write all lengths to three decimal places so the columns line up.
Year 7 - Q4.2.06
A learner calculates \(6.4+0.85=1.49\), saying, “I added \(64\) and \(85\) to get \(149\), then used two decimal places.” Explain the error and correct it.
Hint
The two digit strings do not represent the same place-value unit.
Year 7 - Q4.2.07
Two decimal numbers have a sum of \(8.6\). The larger is \(1.4\) more than the smaller. Find both numbers.
Hint
Remove the difference from the total to leave two equal smaller amounts.
Year 7 - Q4.2.08
Without first calculating both sums, compare \(7.38+2.67\) and \(7.48+2.57\). Explain your decision, then find their common value if they are equal.
Hint
Compare how each addend changes from the first sum to the second.
Year 7 - Q4.2.09
Three measurements are each written to two decimal places, and each rounds to \(1.3\) to one decimal place. What are the smallest and largest possible totals? Can their total be exactly \(4.00\)? Give an example if possible.
Hint
Find the allowed range for one two-decimal measurement before adding three of them.
Year 7 - Q4.2.10
Let \(A,B,C\) be different digits, with \(A\) and \(C\) non-zero. The notation \(A.BC\) means a decimal with whole-number digit \(A\), tenths digit \(B\), and hundredths digit \(C\). Find every addition \(A.BC+C.BA=10.10\), ignoring reversal of the two addends.
Hint
Begin with the hundredths column, then track any carry into the tenths.
