11.1 Relationship in Time.

EXAMPLES

1. 7 decades = 70 years

1 decade = 10 years
7 decades = 7 x 10 years
= 70 years

2. 11 decades 5 years = 115 years

1 decade = 10 years
11 decades 5 years = 11 decades + 5 years
= ( 11 x 10 years ) + 5 years
= 110 years + 5 years
= 115 years

3. 78 years = 7 decades 8 years

1 decade = 10 years
78 years = ( 78 ÷ 10 ) years
= 7 decades 8 years
 EXERCISES

1. 8 decades = years

2. 7 decades 9 years = years

3. 12 decades 1 year = years

4. 62 years = decades years

5. 560 years = decades

 EXAMPLES

1. 2 centuries = 200 years

1 century = 100 years

2 centuries = 2 x 100 years
= 200 years

2. 14 centuries 21 years = 1 421 years

1 century = 100 years

14 centuries 21 years = 14 centuries + 21 years
= ( 14 x 100 years ) + 21 years
= 1 400 years + 21 years
= 1 421 years

3. 1 258 years = 12 centuries 58 years

1 century = 100 years

1 258 years = ( 1 258 ÷ 100 ) years
= 12 centuries 58 years
 EXERCISES

1. 5 centuries = years

2. 7 centuries 84 years = years

3. 10 centuries 5 years = years

4. 428 years = centuries years

5. 6 000 years = centuries
