Education plays the most important role in acquiring professional and social skills, and a positive attitude towards face the 
challenges of life. Curriculum is a comprehensive plan of any educational programme. It is also one of the means for bringing 
about  qualitative  improvement  in  an  educational  system.  The  Curriculum  initiated  by  the  Central  Board  of  Secondary 
Education-International (CBSE-i) is a progressive step in making the educational content responsive to global needs. It signifies 
the emergence of a fresh thought process in imparting a curriculum which would restore the independence of the learner to 
pursue the learning process in harmony with the existing personal, social and cultural ethos. 
The CBSE has introduced the CBSE-i curriculum as a pilot project in a few schools outside India in 2010, in classes I and IX and 
extended the programme to classes II, VI and X in the session 2011-12. It was further extended to classes III, VII and for Senior 
Secondary classes with class XI in the session 2012-13.   It is going to be introduced in classes IV, V, VIII and XII in the session 
2013-14 in the schools outside India and in classes I, II and III in the schools within the country. 
The Senior Secondary stage of education determines the course of life of a student. At this stage, it becomes extremely important 
for students to develop the right attitude, a willingness to learn and an understanding of the world around them and to be able to 
take the right decisions for their future. The senior secondary curriculum is expected to provide the necessary base for the 
growth of knowledge and skills, and thereby enhance a student's potential to face the challenges of global competitiveness. The 
CBSE-i Senior Secondary Curriculum aims at developing the desired professional, managerial and communication skills as 
required in of the world of work. CBSE-i is for the current session offering curricula in ten subjects i.e. Physics Chemistry, 
Biology,  Accountancy,  Business-Studies,  Economics,  Engineering  Graphics,  Home  Science,  Computer  Science,  Information 
Practices, ICT, English, Mathematics I and Mathematics II. Mathematics at two levels caters to the differing needs of students of 
pure  sciences  and  commerce.  The  curriculum  has  been  designed  to  nurture  multiple  intelligences  like  linguistic  or  verbal 
intelligence,  logical  mathematical  intelligence,  spatial  intelligence,  sports  intelligence,  musical  intelligence,  inter-personal 
intelligence and intra-personalintelligence.
The Core skills are the most significant aspects of a learner's holistic growth and learning curve. The objective of this part of the 
core of curriculum is to scaffold the learning experiences and to relate tacit knowledge with formal knowledge. This involves 
trans-disciplinary linkages that would form the core of the learning process. Perspectives, SEWA (Social Empowerment through 
Work and Action), Life Skills and Research would be the constituents of this 'Core'.
The CBSE-i Curriculum evolves by building on learning experiences inside the classroom over a period of time. The Board while 
addressing  the  issues  of  empowerment  with  the  help  of  the  schools  administering  this  system,  strongly  recommends  that 
practising teachers become skil ful and lifelong learners and also transfer their learning experiences to their peers through the 
interactive platforms provided by the Board. The success of this curriculum depends upon its effective implementation and it is 
expected that the teachers will apply themselves to creating better facilities, developing linkages with the world of work and 
fostering conducive environment, as per the recommendations of the curriculum document. 
I appreciate the effort of Dr. Sadhana Parashar, Director (Academics, Research, Training and Innovation), CBSE, and her team 
involved in the development of this document. I specially appreciate the efforts of (Late) Dr. Srijata Das for working tirelessly 
towards meeting deadlines. 
The  CBSE-i  website  enables  all  stakeholders  to  participate  in  this  initiative  through  the  discussion  forums.  Any  further 
suggestions on improving the portal are always welcome.

CLASS : V 
UNIT : 6 
Subjects : Maths 
Introduction:  
At  class  IV  level  the  students  are  already  familiar  with  fractional  numbers  and  the 
process  of  addition  and  subtraction  of  fractional  numbers.  In  this  unit  students  will 
understand the process of multiplication and division of fractions. Students are already 
familiar  with  term  decimal  and  are  aware  of  the  equivalence  between  the  decimal  and 
fraction forms of tenths and hundredths. The present unit moves ahead and reinforces 
the  understanding  of  decimals.  Students  will  be  able  to  understand  the  importance  of 
decimal  point  and  will  be  able  to  perform  mathematical  operations  of  addition, 
subtraction,  multiplication  and  division  using  decimals.  This  lesson  will  help  students 
understand  the  role  of  the  decimal  and  the  relationship  of  decimals  with  money. 
Teacher  will  reinforce  how  important  mathematics  can  be  to  the  real  world  and 
decimals are a part of this system.  
The  content  is  student  centered  and  activity  based  laying  the  utmost  emphasis  on 
developing  problem  solving  skills,  encouraging  the  child  to  think  creatively  and 
independently.  This  is  a  hands-on,  minds-on  mathematics  topic  that  engages  students 
to  develop  manipulative  and  strategic  learning  and  co-relate  the  concept  with  real  life 
situation.

Teachers Note: 
The  unit  satisfies  the  inquisitiveness  of  the  students  in  knowing  more  about  fractions. 
Students  learn  more  through  activities.  The  format  of  the  lesson  has  been  designed 
keeping  this  characteristic  in  mind.  Each  lesson  includes  certain  activities  which  will 
help the students in self-learning and understanding of the concepts. 
Students  build  their  own  mathematical  understanding  by  interacting  with  the  world 
around them through a range of learning experiences using real life contexts to explore 
mathematical  concepts.  To  develop  a  rich  conceptual  understanding  of  mathematical 
ideas,  students  need  to  learn  the  concept  with  great  thoroughness  and  clarity  and  this 
can be achieved using different teaching strategies and tools in the form of activities to 
reflect  their  learning. To  assist  the  teacher,  the  unit  is  equipped  with  resource  material 
and activities to cater to the different needs of the students. The unit is supported with 
worksheets to reinforce the learning. 
A portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits the student's efforts, 
progress and achievements in one or more areas of the curriculum.  
In this Unit, students  will develop their Mathematics Portfolio. The entire  learning of 
the Expected Outcomes will be reflected in the Portfolio. The instructions for compiling 
the portfolio have been given at the end of the last lesson plan. 
Critical  thinking,  Life  Skills,  Fun  at  home  and  SEWA  have  been  incorporated  while 
constructing the unit .The assessment rubrics have been designed to help the facilitator 
in assessing the understanding of the students and ensure that learning takes place in a 
desired way.

Step 3 
 
 
 
  Arrange the four sets in such a way that they form a circle and paste them on the 
space provided on Worksheet 4 (Part A). 
 
Step 4 
 
 
                                       =    
 
Teacher will then conclude that multiplication is a repeated addition. 
  Hence    (5/8) x  4 = 5/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 =    
Teachers  Note:  Teacher  will  then  state  the  steps  of  multiplication  to  the  students  and 
can further demonstrate over the interactive board: 
Step 1:  Write the whole number as a fraction. 
Step 2:  Multiply the numerators and the denominators. 
Step 3:  Reduce to the lowest terms 
    
   
                                     OR 
20 10   =   10  =  5

1/3  1/3   
  Refold the strip and divide it into 6 equal parts. 
  Open the strip. 
  How many parts are shaded?  ( Expected Answer : 4) 
           
Teacher  will  then  conclude  that:  2/3  rd  part  when  divided  into  1/6
 
parts  give  4  equal 
parts. 
      2/3  1/6 = 4 
  Students will then paste their strip on Worksheet 9 in the space provided.  
  Students will also give mathematical solution to the question on Worksheet 9.

  Teacher  puts  the  following  question  to  the  students  for  the  introduction  of  the 
concept. 
Question: Where can we find decimal numbers outside the class? 
Expected  Answer:  Bills,  money,  weights,  measurements,  medicine  and  any  other 
relevant answer. 
  Teacher  will  distribute  one    A4  sheet  to  each  child  and  the  Base  10  models  and  5 
strips each to the students  
  Teacher will ask the students to label each section of the strip as 1/10. 
1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10 
  Teacher will ask the students to colour 3 parts of the strips or 3/10 of the strip as 
shown. 
1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10  1/10 
  Teacher will ask the students what fraction of the rectangle has been coloured? 
 Expected Answer :     1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10  
Or 
3/10 
  28 
  Teacher  will  make  the  students  understand  that  since  fractions  and  decimals 
represent  a  part  of  the  whole,  they  can  represent  the  same  amount    and  further 
explain that 3/10 can be written in another way... i.e. 0.3  
Teachers  Note:  The  teacher  will  write  7/10  on  the  Interactive  board  and  ask  the 
following questions : 
  Is 7 /10 a fraction or a whole number? 
Expected Answer : Fraction 
  How will you represent 7/10 as decimal? 
Expected Answer   :    0.7 
  What  is  the  position  of  the  whole  number  when  you  write  a  number  with  a 
decimal? 
Expected Answer   :  Left of the decimal point 
  When we write 0 before the decimal point what does this represent? 
        Expected Answer   :  The whole number is less than 1 
  How will you write 0.7 in words? 
Expected Answer   :  seven tenths 
  Students  would  be  given  Handout  2  available  in  Teacher  Resource  Material.

Checking For Understanding : 
Write in decimal form and expanded form:  
Decimal form Nine point zero eight nine = 9.089 
Expanded form :   9 + 0 x     +  8 x       + 9  x   
Teachers Note: The teacher may use Worksheet 1 as a separator page for Lesson Plan 
B.  
The students will put Worksheet 2 and 3 after the Worksheet 1. 
(Refer to Worksheets 1, 2 and 3) 
Activity 2 : Human Decimal Machine and Decimal War 
  Teacher asks for 11 volunteers from the class.  
  The teacher will then hand over one blank flash card randomly to each student. 
  The  teacher  will  ask  10  students  to  write  any  one  digit  between  0  and  9  on  their 
flash card and one student will make a decimal point/dot on his/her flash card.  
  Then  the  teacher  will  call  out  a  decimal  number  and  tell  the  students  to  arrange 
themselves in the correct order. For example, form a number with 4 at tens place,1 
at  ones  place,  5  at  tenths  place  and  8  at  hundredths  place  (41.58)  and  the  five 
students holding those symbols would have to arrange themselves in that order.  
  If  the  students  do  so  correctly,  the  teacher  can  have  the  rest  of  the  class  applaud 
and then have those students hand their cards to next group in the classroom that 
has not yet been part of the human decimal machine. 
  After the game is over teacher can ask the students to sit in pairs. 
  Each pair will then prepare their own 12 flash cards ( from numbers 0 to 9 and two 
decimal cards). 
  Teacher will instruct the players to hold the cards face down in a stack on the table 
and place the decimal point flash cards on the top. 
  31 
  Both the players count to three and form a decimal number using those cards. 
  The player that lays the greatest decimal number wins the game. 
Checking For Understanding: 
  Teacher will write the following decimal number on the interactive board. 
  Students are asked to arrange them in ascending order. 
  Question:                 0.324, 0.342, 0.243, 0.234, 0.432, 0.423 
        Expected Answer: 
The students will put Worksheet 4 after Worksheet 3. 
(Refer to Worksheet 4) 
Activity 3 : Fun with Colours 
  Teacher will distribute Worksheet 5 to each student. 
  Students will observe Worksheet 5 part A provided with 10 by 10 grids. 
  Teacher  will  remind  the  students  that  one  grid  represents  1  whole  that  has  been 
divided into 100 equal parts. 
  Teacher  will  ask  the  students  to  colour  70  squares  out  of  100  with  red  colour  to 
represent 0.7 as shown 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Teacher will now ask  students to colour 20 squares out  of 30 remaining squares 
with yellow colour to represent 0.20 as shown

Teachers Note: Now teacher will ask the following questions: 
  What is the total coloured portion of the grid?  
Expected Answer   :  0.70 + 0.20    
OR 
                                          0.90 
  Students will complete Part B of Worksheet 5. 
  Students  would  be  given  Handout  3  available  in  Teacher  Resource  Material. 
They will be asked to go through the Handout and then attempt Worksheet 6. 
   
                                       
                                       
                                       
                                       
                                     
                                       
                                       
                                       
                                       
                                       
  33 
Handout 3 (Teachers Resource Material) 
  Adding decimals is very much like adding whole numbers. 
  To add two Decimals, first these should be converted into like Decimals 
(Decimal numbers having same number of decimal places in the fractional part 
for example 2.45, 415.78, 9.02) 
  Then  the  Decimal  point  of  the  two  numbers  should  be  aligned  and  all  the  digits 
should be put in that order, i.e units place of second number should be aligned to 
unit place, tens to tens, tenth to tenth and so on. 
  All these should be added like simple addition and a decimal point should be put 
in total alignment with Decimal point of the two numbers 
  As usual in addition, start on the right, and add each column in turn.  
  22.3          22.3         22.3 
    + 34.1    + 34.1  + 34.1 
          .4           6.4     56. 4 
  Checking For Understanding  : 
Add the following   :  11.22 + 3.14 = 14.36 
 
 
 
 
 
Teachers Note: The students will put Worksheet 5 and 6 after Worksheet 4. 
(Refer to Worksheets 5, 6) 
Activity 4 : Colouring Effect 
  Teacher distributes Worksheet 7 to each student. 
  Students will observe the 10 by 10 grid in the Worksheet. 
  Students will solve the question as per instructions given by the teacher. 
  T  O   .  Th  HTh 
    1  1   .  2  2 
  +    3   .  1  4 
  1  4  .  3  6 
  34 
For example:  
 
  Teacher will ask the students to colour 90 squares out of 100 in the  grid with any 
light colour to represent 0.9 as shown below: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Teacher will now ask students to colour 25 squares  out of those 90 squares with a 
darker colour to represent 0.25 as shown. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Teachers  Note:  Teacher  explains  that  each  light  square  gets  cancelled  with  a  darker 
square  and  the  remaining  squares  out  of  the  coloured  portion  will  represent  the 
difference between the two numbers.  
0.90 - 0.25 = 0.65 
Handout  4  (Teachers  Resource  Material)  will  then  be  distributed  to  explain  the 
method of subtraction of decimals. Students  will go through the Handout and observe 
the process of subtraction.Teacher will further take up few examples on the interactive 
board to reinforce the method.

The  most  important  thing  to  remember  when  subtracting  decimals  is  to  line  up  all  the 
decimal points in a column! 
  Write  down  the  two  numbers,  one  under  the  other,  with  the  decimal  points 
aligned to each other.  
  Add zeros so the numbers have the same length ( like decimals) 
  Then  subtract  normally,  remembering  to  put  the  decimal  point  in  the  same 
position. 
Example: Calculate 7.005-0.55                  
  6    9  10   
  7  .  0  0  5 
__  0  .  5  5  0 
  6  .  4  5  5 
Subtracting decimals is very much like subtracting whole numbers.

  Students  will  go  through  the  Handout  5  and  understand  the  methods  of 
multiplication of Decimal numbers. 
Sample of Handout 5 
Merging Multiples 
Steps to multiply Decimals: 
Let us multiply 45.234 x 6.2 
Step 1: Multiply the given numbers as you normally multiply whole numbers ignoring 
the decimal points. 
 
 
 
 
  +   
 
 
 
Step 2: Count the total number of decimal places of both numbers together. 
    4  5  2  3  4 
      x    6  2 
    9  0  4  6  8 
2  7  1  4  0  4  x 
2  8  0  4  5  0  8 
  41 
 
45.234  -  3 decimal places 
      6.2  -  1  decimal place 
Total   -  4  decimal places  
Step 3 : To insert the decimal point in the product (calculated in Step 1), move from the 
right towards the left and place the decimal  point at the position  which is equal to the 
decimal places as  calculated in Step 2.  
2  8  0 .4 5  0 8 
 Answer:  45.234 x 6.2 = 280.4508   
 
 
7.9438 x 10 = 79.438 
  The  decimal  point  moves  to  the  right  by  one  place  if  the  number  is 
multiplied by 10. 
7.9438 x 100 = 794.38 
  The  decimal  point  moves  to  the  right  by  two  places  if  the  number  is 
multiplied by 100. 
7.9438 x 1000 = 7943.8 
  The  decimal  point  moves  to  the  right  by  three  places  if  the  number  is 
multiplied by 1000. 
 
Remember: 
  Number of decimal places in the product is the sum of decimal 
places in the decimals. 
  Place the decimal point, counting from the  extreme right in  the 
product. 
 
  42 
 
 
 
 
 
  Each pair will then be given Worksheet 2 containing square grids (10 x 10). 
  The  teacher  will  then  randomly  give  any  2  questions  each  from  the  given  set  to 
each student. 
Remember  :  To  convert  a  decimal  number  into  a  whole  number,  always 
multiply with the multiple of 10 having the same number of zeroes as the 
number of decimal places. 
For Example: Convert 7.943 into a whole number. 
To convert 7.943 into a whole number, count the number of decimal places 
in 7.943. 
7 .9 4 3 (3 decimal places) 
To cover 3 decimal places we need to multiply by 1000. 
Hence 7.943 x 1000 = 7943 
We want to multiply 7943.8 by 100 
An extra zero is placed, as the decimal point is to be shifted  
2 places to its right. 
7943.8 x 100 = 794380 
  43 
 
  
  Students will then mark each block from 0.1 to 1.0 both horizontally and vertically 
on the grid. 
  Students  will  then  colour  the  appropriate  number  of  boxes  according  to  the 
question. 
For Example: For 0.3 x 0.4 
  The pair can represent the number on the grid either vertically or horizontally. 
 
Sample given below: 
 
                                                                           
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Result : Number of shaded boxes   =        =   0.12 
 
  Students will also represent the solution mathematically on the A4 sheet. 
 
Hence  0. 3            x            0. 4                                
                   1 decimal place           1 decimal place 
                        
               =     0. 12      2 (1 + 1) decimal places 
 
Teachers  Note:  On  completion  of  the  activity,  the  teacher  can  reinforce  the  process  of 
multiplication  by  giving  number  of  questions  to  the  students  on  multiplication  of 
1.0

Matching and Dividing 
When you divide you are cutting into equal shares: 
There are 3 Simple Steps to Divide Fractions: 
Step 1: Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) Upside Down. This is 
now a reciprocal. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Step 2:  Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of other. 
For Example: Divide      
                       The reciprocal of    is   
Hence     x     =      =    
Step 3:  Simplify the fraction (if needed). 
Therefore    =     =    
 
Reciprocal of a Number: Two numbers are said to be reciprocal of each other 
if their product is 1. 
For Example: The reciprocal of   is   
i.e.   x   = 1 
The Reciprocal of a fractional number is obtained by interchanging its 
numerator and denominator.

Fun With Colours 
  Adding decimals is very much like adding whole numbers. 
  To add two Decimals, first these should be converted into Like Decimals 
(Decimal numbers having same number of decimal places in the fractional part 
for example 2.45, 415.78, 9.02) 
  Then  the  Decimal  point  of  the  two  numbers  should  be  aligned  and  all  the  digits 
should be put in that order, i.e units place of second number should be aligned to 
unit place, tens to tens, tenth to tenth and so on. 
  All  these  should  be  added  using  simple  addition  method  and  a  decimal  point 
should be put in the answer aligned to the Decimal point of the two numbers that 
have been added. 
  As usual in addition, start from the right, and add each  column as you move left.  
 
  22.3          22.3         22.3 
    + 34.1    + 34.1  + 34.1

Matching Colours 
To subtract decimals, follow these steps: 
The  most  important  thing  to  remember  when  subtracting  decimals  is  to  line  up  all  the 
decimal points in a column! 
  Write  down  the  two  numbers,  one  under  the  other,  with  the  decimal  points 
aligned to each other.  
  Add zeros so the numbers have the same length ( like decimals) 
  Then  subtract  normally,  remembering  to  put  the  decimal  point  in  the  same 
position. 
Example: Calculate 7.005-0.55                  
  6    9  10   
  7  .  0  0  5 
__  0  .  5  5  0 
  6  .  4  5  5 
 
Subtracting decimals is very much like subtracting whole numbers.  
Example: Subtract 7005  550 
 
  7  0  0  5 
__    5  5  0 
  6  4  5  5

Merging Multiples 
Steps to multiply Decimals: 
Let us multiply 45.234 x 6.2 
Step 1: Multiply the given numbers as you normally multiply whole numbers ignoring 
the decimal points. 
 
 
 
 
  +   
 
 
 
Step 2: Count the total number of decimal places of both numbers together. 
 
45.234  -  3 decimal places 
      6.2  -  1  decimal place 
Total   -  4  decimal places  
Step 3 : To insert the decimal point in the product (calculated in Step 1), move from the 
right towards the left and place the decimal  point at the position  which is equal to the 
decimal places as  calculated in Step 2.  
2  8  0 .4 5  0 8 
 Answer:  45.234 x 6.2 = 280.4508

Remember: 
  Number of decimal places in the product is the sum of decimal 
places in the decimals. 
  Place the decimal point, counting from the  extreme right in  the 
product. 
 
  63 
7.9438 x 10 = 79.438 
  The  decimal  point  moves  to  the  right  by  one  place  if  the  number  is 
multiplied by 10. 
7.9438 x 100 = 794.38 
  The  decimal  point  moves  to  the  right  by  two  places  if  the  number  is 
multiplied by 100. 
7.9438 x 1000 = 7943.8 
  The  decimal  point  moves  to  the  right  by  three  places  if  the  number  is 
multiplied by 1000. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We want to multiply 7943.8 by 100 
An extra zero is placed, as the decimal point is to be shifted  
2 places to its right. 
7943.8 x 100 = 794380 
Remember  :  To  convert  a  decimal  number  into  a  whole  number,  always 
multiply with the multiple of 10 having the same number of zeroes as the 
number of decimal places. 
For Example: Convert 7.943 into a whole number. 
To convert 7.943 into a whole number, count the number of decimal places 
in 7.943. 
7 .9 4 3 (3 decimal places) 
To cover 3 decimal places we need to multiply by 1000. 
Hence 7.943 x 1000 = 7943

  - 3 6 
     7 5 
   - 7 2

Let us divide    270.3         by       0. 17 
 (Dividend)          (Divisor)  
number. 
Remember:  The  decimal  point  is  only  placed  in  the  quotient  and  the  dividend. 
Elsewhere in the calculation, the decimal point is not required to be shown. 
Remember:  Place  extra  zeroes  to  complete  the 
division  wherever  there  is  a  remainder  which  is 
less than the divisor. 
  66 
0.1 7 
2 decimal places To cover 2 decimal places we need to multiply by 100 
Step 2: Also multiply the dividend by the same number (10, 100, 1000) to keep the value 
of divisor and dividend same. 
Hence     =     =   = 1590

Dividing a decimal by 10, 100, 1000  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
For Example:  
  3276.4   10       = 327.64 
  3276.4   100     = 32.764 
  3276.4   1000   = 3.2764 
Remember:  The  decimal  point  moves  1  place,  2  places  and  3  places  to  the  right 
when  multiplied  by  10,  100  and  1000  respectively.  In  case  of  division,  the  decimal 
point moves to the left as many places as number of zeroes in the divisor.

In  the  previous  unit  you  made  yourself  familiar  with  the  term  fractional 
numbers and the process of addition and subtraction of fractional numbers. In 
this  unit  you  will  understand  the  process  of  multiplication  and  division  of 
fractions. You will be able to understand the importance of decimal point and 
will be able to perform mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication 
and division using decimals. 
The  activities  in  the  unit  are  planned  in  a  manner  where  you  can  freely  express  your 
ideas, beliefs, values etc and make mathematics an integral part of your system  
 
 
 
TOPIC A:  Multiplication and Division of Fractional Numbers 
In this lesson you will understand the process of multiplication and division of fraction. 
A.  Multiplication of fractional number with a whole number: 
Let us multiply:   5/8 x 4.  
Multiplication is a repeated addition 
 
Arranging the four sets in the form of a circle. 
 
                                                                           =           
Hence    5/8 x 4 = 5/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 =    2   
OR 
  150 
Steps of Multiplication 
Step 1:  Write the whole number as a fraction. 
Step 2:  Multiply the numerators and the denominators. 
Step 3:  Reduce to the lowest terms

B.  Multiplication of fractional number with a fractional number: 
Let us multiply:   5/8 x 2/7 
Following the steps of Multiplication, we get: 
   x    =     =     =   
C.  Dividing a fractional number with a fractional number: 
Let us divide    by   
When you divide you are cutting into equal shares 
There are 3 Simple Steps to Divide Fractions 
Step  1:  Turn  the  second  fraction  (the  one  you  want  to  divide  by)  Upside  Down.  This  is 
now a reciprocal. 
The reciprocal of    is   
Step 2:  Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of other

Division of fractions 
Reciprocal of A Number: Two numbers are said to be reciprocal of each 
other if their product is 1. For Example: The reciprocal of    is   
  1/8 
 x 8   =   = 4 
Step  1:  Turn  the  second  fraction  (the  one  you  want  to  divide  by) 
Upside Down. 
Step 2: Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal. 
Step 3: Simplify the fraction if needed.

Like  Decimals  :  Decimal  numbers  having  same  number  of  decimal  places  in  the 
fractional part for example 2.45, 415.78, 9.02) 
A.  Addition of Decimals 
Steps: 
  Adding decimals is very much like adding whole numbers. 
  To add two Decimals, first these should be converted into like Decimals. 
  Then  the  Decimal  point  of  the  two  numbers  should  be  aligned  and  all  the 
digits should be put in that order, i.e units place of second number should be 
aligned to unit place, tens to tens, tenth to tenth and so on. 
  All these should be added like simple addition and a decimal point should be 
put in total alignment with Decimal point of the two numbers.

B.  Subtraction of Decimals 
As  usual  in  addition,  start  on  the  right,  and  add  each  column  in  turn.  
To subtract decimals, follow these steps: 
The most important thing to remember when subtracting decimals is to line up all 
the decimal points in a column! 
  Write  down  the  two  numbers,  one  under  the  other,  with  the  decimal  points 
lined up.  
  Add zeros so the numbers have the same length ( like decimals) 
  Then subtract normally, remembering to put the decimal point in the answer  
 Example: Calculate 4.059  0.06          
         3    9  15   
  4  .  0  5  9 
-  0  .  0  6  0 
  3  .  9  9  9 
 
Subtract: 467.83 from 760.374

 Relationship  of  decimals  with 
money:  e.g  Rahul  purchased  a 
pen  worth  Rs  3.40  and  pencil 
worth  Rs.  2.10.How  much  did 
he spends in all?  
        Rs       3.  40 
        Rs.      2.  10 
        Rs.      5.  50 
 
 
 
Addition of decimals:  For addition 
of  decimals  change  the  addends  to 
like  decimals  (Decimal  having 
same  number  of  decimal  places  e.g 
2.34, 13.67, 0.78) 
Add:      2.34 + 4.46 = 6.80 
Decimals: Addition and Subtraction 
Subtraction  of  decimals:    For 
subtracting  decimals  change  the 
addends to like decimals  
Subtract:  6.80 - 2.34 = 4.46        
 
  156 
Let us multiply 45.234 x 6.2 
Step 1: Multiply the given numbers as you normally multiply whole numbers 
ignoring the decimal points.   
 
    4  5  2  3  4 
      x    6  2 
    9  0  4  6  8 
2  7  1  4  0  4  x 
2  8  0  4  5  0  8 
 
Step 2: Count the total number of decimal places of both numbers together. 
 
45.234 -  3 decimal places 
   6.2    -  1 decimal place 
           Total   -  4 decimal places  
Step 3: Insert the decimal point in the product calculated in Step 1, from the right 
equal to the number of decimal places counted in Step 2.  
2  8  0 .  4  5  0  8     
Answer:  45.234 x 6.2 = 280.4508   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Remember: 
  Number of decimal places in the product is the sum of decimal 
places in the decimals. 
  Place the decimal point, counting from the extreme right in the 
product. 
 
  157 
Multiplication of a Decimal Number By 10, 100, 1000 
7.9438 x 10 = 79.438   
  The  decimal  point  moves  to  the  right  by  one  place  if  the  number  is 
multiplied by 10. 
7.9438 x 100  =  794.38 
  The  decimal  point  moves  to  the  right  by  two  places  if  the  number  is 
multiplied by 100. 
7.9438 x 1000 = 7943.8 
  The decimal point moves to the right by three places if the number is 
multiplied by 1000. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We want to multiply 7943.8 by 100 
An  extra  zero  is  placed,  as  the  decimal  point  is  to  be 
shifted 2 places to its right. 
 7943.8 x 100 = 794380 
Remember:  To  convert  a  decimal  number  into  a  whole  number,  always 
multiply  with  the  multiple  of  10  having  the  same  number  of  zeroes  as  the 
number of decimal places. 
For Example: Convert 7.943 into a whole number. 
To convert 7.943 into a whole number, count the number of decimal places 
in 7.943. 
7 . 9 4 3    (3 decimal places) 
To cover 3 decimal places we need to multiply by 1000. 
Hence 7.943 x 1000 = 7943

Division of Decimal Number by a Whole Number 
Let us divide    435.6               by        12 
                            (Dividend)                 (Divisor) 
Step 1: First divide the whole number part of the dividend. 
Step 2: Then place the decimal point (.) at exactly the same position in the quotient as 
in the dividend. 
Step 3: Divide the decimal part of the dividend.

                                          (Dividend)                          (Divisor) 
We follow the given steps: 
Step 1: First multiply the divisor by 10, 100 or 1000 to convert the divisor into a whole 
number. 
0.1 7  
  2 place decimal      To cover 2 decimal places we need to multiply by 100 
 
Remember: The decimal point is only placed in  the quotient and  the dividend. 
Elsewhere in the calculation, the decimal point is not required to be shown. 
Remember: Place extra zeroes to complete the 
division wherever there is a remainder which is 
less than the divisor. 
  159 
Step 2: Also multiply the dividend by the same number (10, 100, 1000) to keep the value 
of divisor and dividend same. 
Hence      =     =   = 1590

For Example:  
  3276.4   10       = 327.64 
  3276.4   100     = 32.764 
  3276.4   1000   = 3.2764

Remember: The decimal point moves 1 place, 2 places and 3 places to the right 
when  multiplied  by  10,  100  and  1000  respectively.  In  case  of  division,  the 
decimal  point  moves  to  the  left  as  many  places  as  number  of  zeroes  in  the 
divisor.
