1. Problem Description
We are given a series of math problems to solve:
1. A word problem involving learners who like football and hockey, requiring a Venn diagram and calculations.
2. Writing numbers in words.
3. A word problem involving the number of oranges in three baskets.
4. Stating real-life applications of skip counting.
5. A word problem calculating the total number of students in a school.
6. Rounding a number to the nearest thousandth and hundred-thousandth.
7. Correcting a number to 3 significant figures and 4 decimal places.
8. Writing a number in scientific notation.
9. Finding the union of two sets.
1
0. Finding the intersection of three sets.
2. Solution Steps
1. i. Venn Diagram: This requires a diagram with two overlapping circles, one for Football (F) and one for Hockey (H).
ii. Let be the number of learners who like both subjects.
Total learners = Learners who like only Football + Learners who like only Hockey + Learners who like both.
So, 11 learners like both subjects.
iii. Learners who like only Football =
iv. Learners who like only Hockey =
2. 63: Sixty-three
278: Two hundred and seventy-eight
975: Nine hundred and seventy-five
348: Three hundred and forty-eight
692: Six hundred and ninety-two
3. Total oranges = Oranges in the first basket + Oranges in the second basket + Oranges in the third basket
Total oranges =
4. Real-life applications of skip counting:
- Counting money in multiples (e.g., counting quarters by 25s).
- Counting items arranged in groups (e.g., counting chairs in rows of 5).
5. Total students = Number of classes * Students per class
Total students =
6. Rounding 14.362745:
i. Thousandth: 14.363 (since the digit after 2 is 7 >= 5, round up)
ii. Hundred Thousandth: 14.36275 (since the digit after 4 is 5, round up)
7. Correcting 14.362745:
i. 3 s.f: 14.4 (since the digit after 3 is 6 >= 5, round up)
ii. 4 d.p: 14.3627 (keep the first four digits after decimal point)
8. Writing 294378.29 in scientific notation:
9. Finding the union of A = {22, 33, 44, 55} and B = {66, 44, 22, 2}:
1
0. Finding the intersection of {3, 5, 6, 7}, {3, 5}, {2, 1}:
The intersection is the set of elements that are common to all three sets. There are no common elements in all three sets. Therefore, the intersection is the empty set.
3. Final Answer
1. i. Venn Diagram (explained in steps)
ii. 11
iii. 34
iv. 27
2. 63: Sixty-three
278: Two hundred and seventy-eight
975: Nine hundred and seventy-five
348: Three hundred and forty-eight
692: Six hundred and ninety-two
3. 289
4. - Counting money in multiples (e.g., counting quarters by 25s).
- Counting items arranged in groups (e.g., counting chairs in rows of 5).
5. 240
6. i. 14.363
