Definiti
A ratio is a comparison between two quantities that shows how many times one value contains or is
mn of Ratio:
contained within the other. Its expressed in the form a : bor as a fraction £.
Example of Ratio:
If there are 3 apples and 5 oranges in a basket, the ratio of apples to oranges is 3 : 5 or
Definition of Proportion:
{A proportion is an equation that shous two ratios are equal. It can be written as 2 = § ora: b=
e:d.
Example of Proportion:
If 2 pencils cost $4, then 4 pencils will cost $8, This can be expressed as a proportion:
24
8
Key Difference:
* Aratio compares two quantities.
* Aproportion shows equality between two ratios.
The three main types of proportion are:
1, Direct Proportion (Direct Variation):
This occurs when two quantities increase or decrease in the same ratio. If one quantity doubles, the
other doubles as well. The relationship is expressed as:
or
Example:
If the cost of 1 apple is $2, the cost of § apples will be $10. This isa direct proportion because the
cost increases as the number of apples increases.2, Inverse Proportion (Inverse Variation):
This occurs when one quantity increases while the other decreases, such that their product remains
constant. The relationship is expressed as:
axb—k
where k is a constant.
Exampl
If 4 workers take 6 hours to complete a task 8 workers will take 3 hours to complete the same task.
This isan inverse proportion because as the number af workers increases, the time decreases.
3. Part-to-Part or Part-to-Whole Proportio:
‘This type compares a part of a quantity to another part or the whole. It is often used in probability or
mixing problems.
Example:
fa mixture contains 2 liters of water and 3 liters of milk, the ratio of water to milk is 2 + 3, and the
propertion of water to the total mixture is:1. Percentage:
isis the part or portion of the base expressed as @ percent (%). It answers the question “What part
of the base is being considered?"
Formul
Percentage = Base x Rate
Exampl
If 20% of 50 is calaulated, the percentage is 20% x 50 = 10.
2. Rate:
The rate
the percentage value expressed as a fraction or decimal. It tells “what percent of the base
\g considered.”
Formula:
Example:
If 10 is 20% of 50, the rate is 44 = 0.2 or 20%.
3. Base:
The base is the total or whole amount to which the rate is applied. It answers the question "What is
the whole amount being considered?”
Formula:
_ Percentage
Rate
Base
Example:
If 10 is 20% of a number, the bas:Summary of Relationship:
Percentage = Base x Rate
Where:
* Base is the whole or total.
* Rate is the percent (expressed as a decimal).
© Percentage is the part or result.
Exponential Notation:
Exponential notation is a way of expressing repeated multiplication of a number by itself using a
base and an exponent (or power). Itis written in the form:
a
Where:
* ais the base, the number being multiplied.
«mis the exponent (or power), the number of times the base is multiplied by itself.
1. Simple Example:
B=2xI*x2=s
Here, 2 is the base, and 3 is the exponent.
Uses of Exponential Notation:
© To simplify large or small numbers, such as in scientific notation (6.02 x 10”).
* To represent powers and roots efficiently.Order of Operations (GEMDAS):
The GEMDAS rule is similar to PEMDAS but emphasizes Grouping symbols instead of just
parentheses. This includes all types of grouping symbols, such as parentheses (), brackets |], braces
{}, or absolute value bars ||.
The steps in GEMDAS are:
1. G- Grouping Symbols: Solve expressions inside all grouping symbols first.
2. E- Exponents: Solve powers, roots, or exponential expressions.
3. MD - Multiplication and Division: Perform these operations from left to right.
4. AS - Addition and Subtraction: Perform these operations from left to right.
Detailed Explanation:
1. Grouping Symbols:
* Solve expressions inside all grouping symbols first.
© Example: [3 + (2 x 4)] +2
Solve inside parentheses first: 2 x 4= 8
B+8)42-1+2=-55
2. Exponents:
* Solve powers, roots, or exponential expressions next,
+ Example: 2% +4=8+4=12
3. Multiplication and Division (Left to Right):
* Perform these operations in the order they appear, from left to right.
* Example:6 + 2% 3=3%3=9
4. Addition and Subtraction (Left to Right):
* Perform these operations in the order they appear, from left to right.
* Example: 10-4+2=-6+2=8Set of Integers:
The set of integers, denoted by the symbol Z, includes all whole numbers (positive, negative, and
zero). it can be written as:
1,0, 1, 2,3,.
Types of Integers:
1. Positive Integers:
© Whole numbers greater than zero.
© Example: {1, 2,3,
2. Negative Integers:
‘* Whole numbers less than zero.
+ Example: {—1, -2,-3,...}
3. Zero (0):
© Neither positive nor negative.
© Itacts as the neutral element in addition.Properties of Integers:
1. Closed under Addition and Multiplication:
* Adding or multiplying two integers always results in another integer.
34+(-2)=1, 4x (-5)=-20
2. Not Closed under Division:
* Dividing two integers does not always result in an integer.
4+3= 1.33 (not an integer)
3. Include Opposites:
* For every positive integer, there is a corresponding negative integer.
Sand —5
4, Infinite in Both Directions:
* There is no largest or smallest integer.
Real-Life Examples of Integers:
* Bank transactions (deposits and withdrawals).
© Temperatures above or below zero.
* Elevations (above or below sea level).
When comparing integers with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals, it's important to
understand their definitions and how they relate to one another. Here's a breakdown:1. Integers (Z):
* Include positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero.
2,-1,0,1,2,3...-}.
* Example:
2. Whole Numbers (WW):
+ Non-negative integers (zero and positive numbers only).
* example: {0,1,2,3,...}.
3. Fractions:
* Represent parts of a whole, written as 2 where a and bare integers and b+ 0.
+ Example:
4. Decimals:
* Represent parts of a whole using base-10 notation.
* Example: 0.5, —2.75, 3.0.
Key Comparisons
1. Integers vs Whole Numbers:
© Whole numbers are a subset of integers.
* All whole numbers are integers, but not all integers are whole numbers (eg., negative numbers
are integers but not whole numbers).
‘© Example: 5 (integer and whole number), —3 (integer but not a whole number).
2. Integers vs Fractions:
Integers can be written as fractions (e.g, 3 = $), but most fractions (like 3) are not integers.
‘© Fractions include values between integers.3. Integers vs Decimals:
Integers can be written as decimals with no fractional part (eg, 4 = 4.0).
‘* Decimals that terminate or repeat can sometimes represent integers, but most decimals (like
0.25) are not integers.
4, Whole Numbers vs Fractions and Decimals:
© Whole numbers do not include fractions or decimals (e.g., } or 0.5 are not whole numbers).
Examples of Comparisons
1. Comparing an Integer with a Fraction:
+ Bus Eisine = 3.5,3< 2
2. Comparing an Integer with a Decimal:
© —Lvs —1.25: Since -1.25 < —1,-1 > 1.25,
3. Comparing a Whole Number with a Fraction:
© Avs $:since $= 45,4 < 3
4. Comparing a Whole Number with a Decimal:
¢ Bys5.0: They are equal 6 = 5.0),
Summary of Relationships
* Whole numbers are integers, but integers also include negative numbers.
* Fractions and decimals can sometimes represent integers or whole numbers, but they mostly
represent values between integers.Operations on Integers:
The four basic mathematical operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—can all
be performed on integers. The following explains the rules for each operation.
1. Addition of Integers
© Same Sign: Add their absolute values, and the result keeps the same si
© example: 3+ 5 = 8-3 4+(—5) = —8
+ Different Signs: Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger, and the result takes the
sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
© example: 5 + (—3) = 2,-5 + 3 = —2
2. Subtraction of Integers
To subtract, change the subtraction into addition by adding the opposite of the second integer:
a—b=a+(-—b)
+ Example:5 35 4 (3) —
, 5 (-8) = 5 4 3= 2,
3. Multiplication of Integers
Same Signs: The product of two integers with the same sign is positive.
© Example: 3 x 5 = 15, (—3) x (—5) = 15.
© Different Signs: The product of two integers with different signs is negative.
© Example:3 x (—5) = —15, (3) x 5 = —15.4. Division of Integers
© Same Signs: The quotient of two integers with the same sign is positive.
© Example: 10 +2 = 5, (—10) + (—2) =5.
‘* Different Signs: The quotient of two integers with different signs is negative.
Example: 10 + (—2) = —5, (-10) +2=—5.
© Note: Division by zero is undefined.
Properties of Integer Operations
1. Addition and Multiplication:
* Commutative Property:a +b=-b+a,axb=bxa
* Associative Property: (a + b) +e= a +(b+e),(axb) xe=ax (bxe)
«Identity Property:
* Addition a +0=a
* Multiplication: a x 1 =a
* Distributive Property: a x (b +c) -axb+axe
2. Subtraction and Division:
* Not Commutative or Associative: Subtraction and division of integers do not follow
commutative or associative properties.
2. Subtraction: 6 — (—3) = 6+3=9
3, Multiplication: —2 x 4 = —8
4, Division: —12 + (—3) = 4
