Preface
To the Student
We study mathematics because it is an important part of
our daily lives. Our school schedule, our trip to the store, the
preparation of our meals, and many of the games we play all
involve mathematics. Many of the word problems you will
see in this book are drawn from our daily experiences.
Mathematics is even more important in the adult world.
In fact, your personal future in the adult world may depend
in part upon the mathematics you have learned. This book
was written with the hope that more students will learn
mathematics and learn it well. For this to happen, you must
use this book properly. As you work through the pages of
this book, you will find similar problems presented over and
over again. Solving these problems day after day is the secret
to success. Work every problem in every practice set and in
every problem set. Do not skip problems. With honest effort
you will experience success and true learning which will
stay with you and serve you well in the future.

Operations
of arithmetic
The operations
of arithmetic
addition,
are
subtraction,
and division. Each of these operations is a
binary operation. The English word binary comes from the
Latin word binarius, which means "in two parts." We say
that addition is a binary operation because we can add only
two numbers in one step. If we wish to add

The other two fundamental operations of arithmetic are
multiplication and division. These operations are also binary
operations. The numbers that are multiplied are called factors,
and the result is called the product. When we divide, we divide
the dividend by the divisor, and the result is called the quotient.

Math 87
To indicate multiplication, we can use a multiplication
symbol shaped like the letter X. We can also use a center dot.
We can also use symbols of inclusion such as parentheses.

Positive
and
negative
numbers
The numbers to the right of the origin are called the positive
numbers, and they are all greater than zero. Every positive
number has an opposite that is the same distance to the left
of the origin. The numbers to the left of the origin are called
negative numbers. The negative numbers are all less than zero.
We
always use a negative sign when we write a negative
number, as we show on the number line below. If the number
does not have a sign, we know that the number is a positive
number. A number is greater than another number if it is
farther to the right
on the number
line.

Positive
numbers
We
note that each number and its opposite are the same
distance from zero on the number line. Note that 5 is 5 to the
right of zero and -5 is 5 to the left of zero. We read -5 by
saying "negative five."
Ordering and
Comparing
numbers
The number line lets us see how numbers can be arranged
in order. As we move to the right on the number line, the
numbers become greater and greater. As we move to the left
on the number line, the numbers become less and less.
We compare
two numbers by determining whether one
number is greater than another number or whether the two
numbers are equal. We place a comparison symbol between
two numbers to show the comparison. The comparison symbols
are the equals sign (=) and the greater than/less than symbol
(> or <). The greater than/less than symbol may point in
either direction. We write this symbol so that the smaller end
(the point) points to the "smaller"
number.
We may read a comparison from left to right or from
right to left. When we read the greater than/less than symbol,
we say the end of the symbol we get to first. We read the
pointed end by saying "is less than." We read the open end
by saying
"is greater than."

Whole numbers with more than three digits are often written
with commas to make the numbers easier to read. Commas
help us read large numbers by marking the end of the trillions',
billions', millions', and thousands' places. We need only to
read the three-digit number in front of each comma and then
say "trillion" or "billion" or "million" or "thousand" when
we reach the comma.

Factors
Recall that a factor
is
one of the numbers multiplied
to
form
a product.
In 3 x 5 = 15,
the factors are 3
and
and
5,
so both 3
5 are factors of 15.
In 1 x 15 = 15, the factors are 1 and 15, so both 1
and 15 are factors of 15.
Therefore, any of the
factor of 15.
numbers
1, 3, 5,
and 15 can serve
as a
28
Math 87
Notice that 15 can be divided by 1, 3, 5, and 15 without a
remainder. This leads us to another definition of factor.
A factor is a whole number that divides
another
whole number without a remainder.
For example, the numbers 1, 2, 5, and 10 are factors of 10
because each divides 10 without a remainder (that is, with a
remainder of zero).

The factors of 12 are the whole numbers that divide 12 with
no remainder. They are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

3T51
Since 3-17 equals 51, both 3 and 17 are factors of 51.
Thus, the four factors of 51 are 1, 3, 17, and 51.
Divisibility
As we saw
Example 2,51 can be divided by 1, 3, 17, and
51, and the remainder is zero. The capability of a whole
number to be divided by another whole number with no
remainder is called divisibility. Thus, 51 is divisible by 1, 3,
17, and 51.

There are several methods
for testing the divisibility of a
number without actually performing the division. For example,

Therefore, we do not need to divide 12,476,365 by 5 to find
out if it is divisible by 5. All we need to do is look at the last
digit. The last digit is 5, so the number is divisible by 5.

not by 9. Since 9060 is divisible by both 2 and 3, it is also
divisible by 6. The only whole number from 1 to 10 we have
not tried is 7, for which we have no simple test. We have to
divide 9060 by 7 to find out if 7 is a divisor. It is not. We find
that the numbers from 1 to 10 that are divisors of 9060 are 1,

"Some and Some More"
LESSON
Word Problems
9
In this lesson
we will begin
solving one-step story problems.
There are hundreds of different story problems but only a
few different thought patterns. One common thought pattern
in story problems is that someone has some and then gets
some more. We will call problems with this thought pattern
some and some more problems. The some and some more
pattern is an addition pattern.
We will sketch the pattern, as we show below, to help us
structure our thinking. We encourage readers to sketch the
patterns. Patterns occur often in mathematics,
and sketching
patterns can be a powerful problem-solving tool.

The numbers we use when we write a fraction are called
the terms of the fraction. The terms of - are 4 and 8. If both

terms of a fraction are divisible by a number greater than 1,
then the fraction can be reduced. To reduce a fraction, we
divide both terms of the fraction by a number that is a
divisor of both terms. In some cases the terms of a fraction
are divisible by more than one number. For example, 4 and
8 are both divisible by 2 and by 4.

Linear Measure
One
of the characteristics of any civilization
is
the use of an
agreed-upon system of measurement. The fair exchange of
goods and services requires consistent units of weight, volume,
and
length. In a technological society the necessity for a
standard system of measurement
is
even
greater.
There are two systems of measurement currently used in
the United States. The traditional system of measurement,
with units such as feet, gallons, and pounds, was adopted
from England. This system used to be known as the English
system, but
is
now referred to as the U.S. Customary System.

we will
consider units of length.
The following table shows equivalent measures of length in
the U.S. system. We should remember the equivalent measures,
have a "feel" for the units so that we can estimate length, and
be able to use rulers and read scales when measuring lengths.

in arithmetic problems such as these:

We may arrange the numbers horizontally instead of vertically.
Thus, the same three problems

may be
written this way:
- 32 = 24
6y = 84
Each of these three problems is an equation. We solve an
equation by finding the number that correctly completes the
equation. Note that we used lowercase letters in writing our
equations. The letters in an equation can be capital letters or
lowercase lettters. Also, in the equation on the right, we
omitted the times sign, because 6y means 6 times y

The next number, 2, has only two divisors, so 2 is a prime

Factoring composite numbers can be difficult without a

composite numbers. One method uses a factor tree. The
other method uses repeated division. We will factor 420
using both methods.

To

we

number we write any two
whole numbers
greater
than 1 that multiply to
equal the number. If these
numbers are not prime,
then we continue the
process until there is a
prime number at the end
of each "branch" of the
factor tree. These numbers
are the prime factors of
the original number.

Reducing

We
have been practicing reducing fractions by dividing the
numerator and the denominator by a common factor. In this
we will practice another method of reducing fractions.
This method uses prime factorization. If we write the prime
factorization of the numerator and of the denominator, we
can see how to reduce a fraction easily.

Multiples
The multiples of a number are the numbers that are produced
by multiplying the number by 1, by 2, by 3, by 4, and so on.
Thus the multiples of 4 are

Rounding can help us estimate the answer to arithmetic
problems. Estimating is a quick and easy way to get close to
an exact answer. Sometimes a close answer is "good enough,"
but even when an exact answer is necessary, estimating can
help us decide if our exact answer is reasonable. To estimate,

To read a decimal number, we
read the whole number
part, then we read the fraction part. To read the fraction part
of a decimal number, we read the digits to the right of the
decimal point as though we were reading a whole number.
This number is the numerator of the decimal fraction. Then
we say the name of the last decimal place. This number is
the denominator of the decimal fraction.

Comparing
decimals
With decimal numbers it is important to consider the values
of the places occupied by the digits. Each place to the left of
a particular digit has a value 10 times greater than the value
of the place of the particular digit. Terminal zeros to the right
of the decimal point have no value.
1.3 equals 1.30 equals 1.300 equals 1.3000

Adding and Subtracting
Decimal Numbers
LESSON
40
When we add or subtract whole numbers, we align the ones'
digits so that we add digits that have the same place value.
When we add or subtract decimal numbers, we align the
decimal points vertically. Aligning the decimal points ensures
that we will be adding or subtracting digits that have the
same place value. We will consider several examples.

To multiply decimal numbers, we set up the problem as
though we were multiplying whole numbers. (We do not
need to align the decimal points.) Then we multiply. After
we have multiplied, we place the decimal point in the answer
so that there are the same number of decimal places in the
product as there are decimal places in

Decimals
and Fractions to Decimals
Decimals
to fractions
To write a decimal number as a fraction, we write the digits
after the decimal point as the numerator of the fraction. For
the denominator of the fraction we write the place value of
the last digit.
Example
to Fractions

Solution
Then we reduce.
Write 0.125 as a fraction.
The
digits
125 form the numerator of the fraction. The denom-
inator of the fraction
is
1000 because 5
is
in the thousandths'
place.

various products is often posted. The unit price is the cost
for a single unit measurement of the product. The unit price
can be found by dividing.

The floor tiles cover the area of the hallway. Area is an
amount of surface. Floors, ceilings, walls, sheets of paper,
and polygons all have an area. If a square is 1 foot on each
side, it is a square foot. Thus the area of the hallway is 32
square
feet.
Other standard square units in the U.S. system include
square inches, square yards, and square miles. Units of area
in the metric system include square centimeters, square meters,
and square kilometers. It is important to distinguish between
a unit of length and a unit of area. Units of length, such as an
inch or a centimeter, are used for measuring distances, not
for measuring areas. To measure area, we use units that take
up area. Square centimeters and square inches take up area
and are used to measure area. We include the word "square"
or the exponent 2 when we designate units of area.

Scientific Notation

for Large
Numbers
We
use scientific notation as an easy way to write large
numbers. We use a decimal number followed by a power of
10 that indicates the true location of the decimal point. The
power of 10 tells us where the decimal point really should
be. Consider this notation.
4.62 x 10 6
The power
of 10 tells us that the decimal point really should

Solution
The average
of three

is 17.
What

We are not told what the numbers are. We are

Notice that for each set the sum of the three numbers is 51.
Since average means what the numbers would be if they
were "equalized," the sum is the same as if each of the three
numbers
is 17.

The sum of the first three numbers is 72. For the sum of the
four numbers to total 100, the fourth number must be 28.

We have practiced adding mixed measures. In this lesson we
will practice subtracting mixed measures. When subtracting
mixed measures, we may need to borrow in order to subtract.
When we borrow, we need to keep in mind the units in the
problem. If we borrow 1 hour, it becomes 60 minutes. If we
borrow 1 day, it becomes 24 hours.
Example
1
Subtract:
5
Solution
1
days 10 hr 15 min
day 15 hr 40 min
Before we can subtract minutes, we borrow 1 hour, which is
60 minutes. We combine 60 minutes and 15 minutes, making
75 minutes. Then we can subtract.

We remember that if we multiply a number by another number
whose value
we do
not change the value of the number.
We just change its name. All numbers have many fraction
names and many decimal names, but only one percent name.
To find the percent name for a number, we multiply the
number by 100 percent.

The absolute value of both +3 and -3 is 3. Notice on the
number line that +3 and -3 are both 3 units from zero.
Absolute value can be represented by distance, whereas the
sign can be represented by direction. Thus positive and
negative numbers are sometimes called directed numbers
because the sign of the number (+ or -] can be thought of as
indicating direction.
When we add, subtract, multiply, or divide signed numbers,
we need
pay attention to the signs as well as to the
absolute values of the numbers. In this lesson we will practice
adding positive and negative numbers.

Fractional Part of a Number and
Decimal Part of a Number, Part 1
LESSON
74
Problems about parts of a number are stated by using decimal
fractions or common fractions. The procedure for solving
both kinds of problems is the same. We can solve fractionalpart-of-a-number problems by translating the question into
an equation. Then we solve the equation. To translate,

The sum
of
two numbers with the same sign is the
sum of their absolute values. The sign of the sum is
the same as the sign of the numbers.
two numbers with opposite signs is the
difference of their absolute values. The sign of the
difference is the same as the sign of the number
with the greater absolute value.

(-54) + (-78) =

(c)
Since the signs are different, we find the difference of
the absolute values and keep the sign of -67 because 67
is greater than 45.

Polyhedrons
Some geometric
such as spheres, cylinders, and cones,
have one or more curved surfaces. If a solid has only flat
surfaces that are polygons, the solid is called a polyhedron.
Cubes, triangular prisms, and pyramids are examples of
polyhedrons. When describing a polyhedron, we may refer
to its faces, edges, or vertices. A face is one of the flat surfaces.
An edge is formed where two faces meet. A vertex (plural,
vertices) is formed where three or more edges meet.
solids,
A
prism is a special kind of polyhedron. A prism has a
polygon of a constant size "running through" the prism. A
rectangular prism has a rectangle of a constant size running
through it. A triangular prism has a triangle of a constant size
running through it. Thus, at least two faces of a prism are
identical and are parallel.
To draw a prism, we draw two identical, parallel polygons,
as shown below. Then we draw lines connecting corresponding
vertices. We may use broken lines to indicate edges hidden
from view.

How many
diameters equal a circumference? This question
has been asked by people for thousands of years. They found
that the answer did not depend on the size of the circle. The
circumference of a circle is slightly more than three diameters.

LESSON

Geometric solids are shapes that take up space. We use the
word volume to describe the space occupied by a shape. To
measure volume, we must use units that occupy space. The
units that we use to measure volume are cubes of certain
sizes. We can use sugar cubes to help us think of volume.

each row, or 12 cubes. Three layers with 12 cubes in each
layer means that the volume of the prism is 36 cubes.
Volumes are measured by using cubes of a standard size.
A cube whose edges are 1 centimeter long has a volume of 1

To calculate the volume of a solid, we can imagine constructing
the solid out of sugar cubes of the same size. We would begin
by constructing the base and then building up the layers to
the specified height.

We
use these examples to illustrate the fact that when we
multiply or divide two positive numbers the answer is a
positive number. Also, when we multiply or divide two
numbers whose signs are different, the answer is a negative
number. But what happens if we multiply two negative
numbers? Since 2 times - 3 equals - 6
2(-3) =
-6
then the opposite of 2 times -3 should equal the opposite of
-6, which is 6.
(-2H-3) = +6
And
since division undoes multiplication, these division
examples must also be
true.
±6 = -3
-2
and
±* = -2

This gives us the rules for the multiplication and division of
signed numbers.

However, we did not graph
all the numbers that are greater than 4. For instance, we did
not graph 10, 11, 12, and so on. Also, we did not graph 4|, 5|,
6|, and so on. If we graph all of these numbers, the dots are
so close together that we end up with a solid line that goes
on and on. Thus a graph of all the numbers greater than or

Thus, the measure of an acute angle is less than 90°, and the
measure of an obtuse angle is greater than 90° but less than
180°. An angle that measures 180° is a straight angle. The
chart below summarizes the types of angles and their measures.

Notice that there are two scales on a protractor, one starting
from the left side, the other from the right. One way to check
whether you are reading from the correct scale is to consider
whether you are measuring an acute angle or an obtuse

A
percent is a ratio. Thus, percent problems can be solved
using the same method we use to solve ratio problems.
Consider the following problem and explanation.

students did not pass the test, how many students
were
in the class?
about 2 parts of a whole class. We recognize
this as a part-part-whole problem. One part of the class
passed the test; the other part of the class did not pass the
test. The whole class is 100 percent. The part that passed
was 30 percent. Thus, the part that did not pass must have
been 70 percent. We will record these numbers in a ratio box
just as we do with ratio problems.

Forty percent of the leprechauns had never seen the pot of
gold. If 480 leprechauns had seen the pot of gold, how many
of the leprechauns had not seen it?
We may solve this problem just as we solve a ratio problem.
We use the percents to fill the ratio column of the table. All
was 100 percent. The part that had never
seen the pot of gold was 40 percent. Therefore, the part that
had seen the pot of gold was 60 percent. The number 480
was the actual count of the leprechauns who had seen the
gold. We write these numbers in the table.

Number Families
LESSON
107
In mathematics
we
give special
names
to certain sets of
numbers. Some of these sets or families of numbers are the
counting numbers, the whole numbers, the integers, and the
rational numbers. In this lesson we will describe each of
these
•
number
families
and discuss how they
The Counting Numbers. Counting numbers are the numbers
we say when we count. The first counting number is 1,
the next is 2, then 3, and so on.

The Whole Numbers. The whole number family includes
all of the counting number family and has one more member,
which is zero.

Notice that there are no dots on the negative side of the
number line, because no whole number is a negative number.
Also notice that there are no dots between the whole
numbers because numbers between whole numbers are
not "whole." We put an arrowhead on the right end of the
number line to indicate that the whole numbers continue
without end.

integer family includes all of the
whole
numbers. The integer family also includes the opposites
(negatives) of the positive whole numbers. The list of
integers goes on and on in both directions as indicated by
the dots.

the arrowheads on both ends of the number line to indicate
that the integers continue without end in both directions.
Thus the
set of integers

The Rational Numbers. The rational number family includes
all numbers that can be written as a fraction of two integers.
Thus all fractions name a rational number. Here are some
examples of rational numbers.

Notice that the family of rational numbers includes all the
integers, because every integer can be written as a fraction
whose denominator is the number 1. For example, we can
write -4 as a fraction by writing

The set of rational numbers also includes all the positive
and negative mixed numbers, because these numbers can

Straight Angles
Materials needed: Paper (preferably construction paper)
Straightedge
Scissors
Using a pencil and straightedge, draw a triangle on a
sheet of paper. Then cut the triangle from the paper.
Next label the angles 1,2, and 3 as shown below.
After labeling the angles, cut each angle from the
triangle as shown by the dashed lines in the illustration.
Then arrange the pieces to meet at one point as
illustrated. You will find that the angles form a semicircle.
Compare your results with the results of others in the
class. The triangles all have different sizes and shapes.

Evaluations with Signed Numbers •
Signed Numbers without Parentheses
LESSON
112
Evaluation
with signed
We
have practiced evaluating expressions such as
x — xy — y
numbers
by using positive numbers in place of x and y. In this lesson
we will practice evaluating such expressions by using negative
numbers as well. When evaluating expressions that contain
signed numbers, it is helpful to replace each letter with
parentheses as the first step. Doing this will help prevent
making mistakes in signs.
Example

Solution
Evaluate:
We

Then we can
write

Thus, to solve 3x + 2 = 7, we take one step to change 2 to
and a second step to change 3 to 1. The order of the steps is
important. We use the addition rule first. Then we use the
multiplication rule.
To change +2
we add -2

The numbers greater than 4 on a die are 5 and 6, so there

The horizontal number line is called the x-axis. The vertical
number line is called the y-axis. The point at which the x-axis
and the y-axis intersect is called the origin. The two numbers
that indicate the location of a point are the coordinates of the
numbers in
parentheses, such as (3, 2). The first number shows the
horizontal (<h>) direction and distance from the origin. The
second number shows the vertical (J) direction and distance
from the origin. The sign of the number indicates the direction.

The coordinates
are written as a pair of
Positive coordinates are to the right or up. Negative coordinates
are to the left or
down.
The two axes divide the plane into four regions called
quadrants, which are numbered counterclockwise beginning
with the upper right as first, second, third, and fourth. The
signs of the coordinates of each quadrant are shown below.

We darken a horizontal and vertical line for the x- and y-axes.
For now, we will let the distance between adjacent lines
represent a distance of 1 unit. To graph each point, we begin
at the origin. To graph (3,4), we move to the right (positive)
3 units along the x-axis. From there we turn and move up
(positive) 4 units and make a dot. We label the location (3, 4).

Estimating Angle Measures
We
have practiced reading the measure of an angle from a
protractor scale. The ability to measure an angle with a
protractor is an important skill. The ability to estimate the
measure of an angle is also a valuable skill. In this lesson we
will learn a technique to help us estimate the measure of an
angle. We will also practice using a protractor as we check
our estimates.
555
Estimating Angle Measures
To estimate a measurement, we need a mental image of
the units to be used in the measurement. To estimate angle
a mental
measure, we need a mental image of a degree scale
protractor. We can "build" a mental image of a protractor

This clock face is a full circle. A full circle is 360°. A clock
face is divided into 12 numbered divisions. From one numbered
division to the next is — of a full circle. One twelfth of 360°
is 30°. Thus, the measure of the angle formed by the hands of
the clock at 1 o'clock is 30°, at 2 o'clock is 60°, and at 3
o'clock is 90°. A clock face is further divided into 60 smaller

estimate the measure of an angle within 5° of its actual

Pythagorean Theorem
The
longest side of a right triangle
is
called the hypotenuse.
Every right triangle has a property that makes the right triangle
a very important triangle in mathematics. The area of the
square drawn on the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals
the sum of the areas of the squares drawn on the other two
sides.
Pythagorean Theorem

4 2 = 16
The
triangle
on the
left is
a right triangle.
On
the right
we
have drawn squares on the sides of the triangle. The areas of
the squares drawn on the sides are 9, 16, and 25. Notice that
the area of the largest square equals the
sum
of the areas of
the other two squares.
25 = 16 + 9
This property of right triangles was known to the Egyptians
as early as 2000 b.c, but it is named for a Greek who lived
about 650 b.c. The Greek's name was Pythagoras, and the
property is called the Pythagorean theorem. The Greeks are
so proud of this mathematician that they have issued a
postage stamp that illustrates the theorem. Here we show a
reproduction of this stamp.

formula
is
a literal equation that describes a relationship
between two or more
variables.
Formulas are used in
mathematics, science, economics, the construction industry,
food preparation, and wherever measurement is used.
To use a formula, we replace the letters in the formula
with measures that are known. Then we solve the equation
for the measure we wish to find.
Example
1
Solution
Use the formula d = rt
to find
t
when d
is
36 and r
is 9.
This formula describes the relationship between distance
(c/), rate (r), and time [i). We replace d with 36 and r with 9
and then solve the equation for t.

This formula is used to convert measurements of temperature
from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. We replace C
with 37 and simplify.
F
= 1.8C + 32
formula
F
= 1.8(37) + 32

Probability,
Chance, and Odds
and odds are different ways of expressing
the likelihood that an event will occur. Recall that probability
is the ratio of the number of ways a particular event can
happen to the total number of equally likely possible outcomes.
Probability, chance,

Probability,
Chance, and Odds
623
We
can use the word chance and a percent to describe a
probability. Since the fraction - is equivalent to 25 percent,
we can say that the chance of the spinner stopping in region A
is
25 percent.
While probability is the ratio of the number of favorable
outcomes to the number of possible outcomes, odds is the ratio
of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of
unfavorable outcomes. Using the spinner example, one outcome
is A, and three outcomes are not A. Thus, the odds of the
spinner ending up in region A are
1 to 3
Note that odds are usually expressed by using the word "to"
and not by using a division line. However, odds are reduced
as are other ratios.
