LO1 Perform four fundamental operation
 Addition
There are four holes in the base, sixteen holes in
the body and six holes in the handle. How many
holes does the machine have?

Solution:

4 holes + 16 holes + 6 holes = 26

holes
Subtraction
In the drawing find the missing vertical and
horizontal measurements.
• Solution:

Vertical
Measurement

7 cm. – (2 cm. + 1 cm. + 2 cm.) = ?

7 cm. – 5
cm. = 2 cm.
• Horizontal Measurement

6 cm. – (2 cm. + 2 cm.)

=?
6 cm.
– 4 cm. = 2 cm.
Multiplication
One side of the perimeter
fence of a lot has four bays
with equal measurement of
three meters. What is the
length of the side perimeter
fence?

Solution:

4 bays X 3 m.
= 12 m.
Multiplication
According to factfile.org an
average car has 30,000 parts.
How many parts were needed
to produced 52 cars in the
assembly line?

Solution:

52 cars X
30,000 parts = 1,560,000 parts
Division
How many pieces of ¼ “ thk.
marine plywood are needed in
the carpentry of 24 sq. m. floor
area low cost housing unit.
Note: Area of plywood = 2.88
sq. m.
Solution:

24 sq. m. ÷
2.88 sq. m. = 8.33 pcs. ¼ “ thk.
marine plywood
