Fractions and Decimals
Lesson 9 Real World Problems involving Decimals
Welcome Friends!! In day to day routine, you come across the problems in money, measurements involving decimals. You have o apply your knowledge of Decimals to solve them.
Objective: In this lesson we will learn steps to solve the real world problems.
So far you have gained knowledge about
· What are decimals?
· How do you convert the vulgar fractions into decimals and vice a versa.
· How to perform mathematical operations on decimals?
When you are solving Real world Problems, you need to do it step by step.
1. Understand what parameters are given in the problem?
2. What is asked to find out?
3. Visualize the situation.
4. Draw the diagram about what is given and what is asked.
5. Analyze the problem.
6. Do the necessary calculations.
7. Solve the problem.
Examples of Real world Problems:
The cost of a fairy tale show at the Sertoma center is $9.75 per person, If a family of four gets 4 tickets how much would they pay?
