GENERAL PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCEDURE

Step 1. State the problem(s).

1-9

Step 4. Evaluate results.

Step 3. Does the solution make sense?

Step 2. Decide on the best method(s) to solve the problem(s).

HOW TO DISSECT AND SOLVE A WORD PROBLEM

Sales: One hundred ninety-four million dollars. ----------->$194,000,000 -----------> $200,000,000Profit: Twenty-two million, five hundred fifty-six thousand dollars --------> $22,556,000 ---------> $20,000,000

1-10

Tootsie Roll Industries’ sales reached one hundred ninety-four million dollars and a record profit of

twenty-two million, five hundred fifty-six thousand dollars. Round the sales and profit figures all the

way.

ADDING WHOLE NUMBERS

3 Steps1. Align the numbers according

to their place values.

Example

1,362

5,913

8,924

6,594

22,793

1-11

3. Moving to the left, repeat Step 2 until all place values are added.

2. Add the units column. Write the sum below the column. If the sum is more than 9, write the units digit and carry the tens digit.

ALTERNATIVE CHECK

Ones Column 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 13Tens Column 6 + 1 + 2 + 9 18Hundreds Column 3 + 9 + 9 + 5 26Thousands Column 1 + 5 + 8 + 6 20

1-12

22,793

1,362 5,913 8,924 6,594

Add each column as a separate total and then combine. The end result is the same.

ESTIMATE ADDITION BY ROUNDING ALL THE WAY

*Final answer could have more than one non-zero since total is not rounded all the way.

SUBTRACTING WHOLE NUMBERS

3 Steps1. Align the minuend and

subtrahend by place values.

1-14

Check 70+60130

3. Moving to the left, repeat Step 2 until all place values in the subtrahend are subtracted.

Example

130 (Minuend) - 60 (Subtrahend) 70 Difference

2. Begin the subtraction with the units digits. Write the difference below the column. If the units digit in the minuend is smaller than the digit in the subtrahend, borrow 1 from the tens digit in the minuend.

2. Multiply the right digit of the multiplier with the right digit of the multiplicand. Keep multiplying as you move left through the multiplicand.

8361

Example

418 (Multiplicand)

x 52 (Multiplier)

4 Steps1. Align the multiplicand and

multiplier at the right.

4. Continue steps 2 and 3 until the multiplication process is complete. Add the partial products to get the final product.

MULTIPLICATION SHORTCUT WITH NUMBERS ENDING IN ZERO

1-18

1. When zeros are at the end of the multiplicand or the multiplier, or both, disregard the zeros and multiply.

3 Steps

2. Count the number of zeros in the multiplicand and multiplier. (4)

Example65000 (3 zeros)

x 420 (1 zero)(4 zeros)

3. Attach the number of zeros counted in Step 2 to your answer.

Solution 65

MULTIPLYING A WHOLE NUMBER BY A POWER OF 10

1-19

99 x 10 99 x 100

99 x 1,000

1. Count the number of zeros in the power of 10.

2 Steps

2. Attach that number of zeros to the right side of the other whole number to obtain the answer. Insert commas as needed.

= 990 = 990 <----Add 1 Zero= 9,900 = 9,900 <----Add 2 Zero= 99,000 = 99,000 <----Add 3 Zero

2. Drop the same number of zeros in the dividend as in the divisor, counting from right to left.

95,000 / 10 -- 95,000 95,000 / 100 -- 95,000

95,000 / 1,000 -- 95,000
