MODULE A - 2 DECIMALS AND ORDER OF OPERATION
2
OBJECTIVES At the end of this module, the student will be able to… List the rules for working with decimals. Given a mathematical problem involving decimals, add, subtract, multiply or divide decimals with and without a calculator and derive the correct answer. List the rules for order of operation when performing calculations. Given a mathematical problem, determine the proper order of operation for problems containing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with and without a calculator and derive the correct answer.
3
Decimals THE RULES: Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division
4
ADDITION When working without a calculator Line up the decimals Round to the appropriate number of decimal places Add: 43.4543.45 10.31110.31 +0.25+0.25 54.011 54.01 = 54.0 Round to the correct number of places
5
PRACTICE 23.45 + 1.9283 = 765.987 + 0.38475 =
6
SUBTRACTION When working without a calculator Line up the decimals Round to the appropriate number of decimal places Subtract:198.24198.24 - 40.015- 40.02 158.235 158.22 = 158
7
PRACTICE 7.23 – 2.394 = 9253.9 – 50.301 =
8
MULTIPLICATION Multiply the numbers as if they are whole numbers without decimals. Count the number of decimal places in the original numbers. That total will be the number of decimal places in the answer. 50.6 x 0.002 (4 places) = 506 x 2 = 1012 =.1012 (4 places)
9
PRACTICE 98.7 X 0.005 = 0.23 x 1000 =
10
DIVISION Top Number is theNumerator Bottom Number is theDenominator Make the denominator a whole number by moving the decimal place to the right. Move the decimal in the numerator to the right by the same amount. Divide.
11
PRACTICE 0.686.8 (moved 1 places) = 3.434 (moved 1 places) -------------------------------------------------------
12
PRACTICE 1500 0.5 0.75 0.0025

TIME FOR PRACTICE See practice assignment
14
Order of Operation Three Rules First Rule: Order - Multiplication & Division from left to right Second Rule: Order - Addition & Subtraction from left to right 12 x 6 – 2 = (12 x 6) – 2 = 72 – 2 = 70

16
Practice What will you do first? 70 x 4 – 40 = ______ 850 x 2 x 30 = ______ 50 + 10 / 2 = ______ 27 + 25 / 5 = ______ 945 – 9 x 5 = ______
17
Order of Operation Third Rule: Simplification - Work inside outside Parenthesis ( ) Brackets [ ] Braces { } 194 – {[20 x (9-5)] + 14} =
18
Clinical Example The Alveolar Air Equation – pressure of O 2 in the alveoli P A O 2 = F I O 2 (P Baro – P H 2 O ) – P A CO 2 [F I O 2 + (1-F I O 2 )] R P A O 2 = 0.5 (760 – 47) – 40 [0.5 + (1 – 0.5 )] 0.8 Parentheses: P A O 2 = 0.5 (713) – 40 [0.5 + (0.625)] Brackets: P A O 2 = 0.5(713) – 40 [1.125] Multiply left to right:P A O 2 = 357 – 45 Subtract left to right: P A O 2 = 312 mm Hg
19
PRACTICE 100 – {[10 x (6 - 5)] + 25} = ______ 1289 – {[120 x (23 – 13)] + 4} = ______ 82 – [34 x (33 – 11)] + 76 = ______
