Module 3
(Perform Estimation or Basic
Calculation in the Workplace)
Further, there are two (2) important elements that need to be considered
in farming: time and money. These two are basically anchored in Mathematics.
Mathematics has enabled farming to be more economically efficient and increase
productivity and harvest. It has been the system of organization to effectively
utilize farmer’s time and manage their money. Farmers live in number everyday
to complete variety of task - from measuring, weighing, land marking, and
projecting.

What is It
5
I know you are more than willing to help Simon in his noble quest to
help his parents because you,BASIC CALCULATIONS
yourself also want to help your parents in your
own little way.
So, this is it! Are your ready to learn the basic in Mathematics
essential to agriculture? Don’t worry, you already have met most of these
numbers in your previous years in school. We just have to learn this again
and this time we will apply mathematics to agriculture. Exciting isn’t it? Now
let’s begin.
FRACTION
A fraction simply tells us how many parts of a whole we have. It can be
recognize by the slash called mark of division between two (2) numbers. The upper
number is called the numerator and the lower number is called denominator.
numerator 1
2 denominator
Example:
A farmer wants “Okra”, “Kalabasa”, “Talong”, and “Sitaw” to be equally planted in his one
(1) hectare of land. How much of a hectare shall be planted with Okra?
In other words, one (1) hectare is divided equally into four (4) parts. So, each shall
occupy 1/4 of a hectare.
PERCENTAGES
In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as fraction of 100.
It is usually recognized using the percent sign “ %”. “Percent” also mean “per 100”.
6
1% of this line is shaded green: it is very small isn't it?
As agreed, the farmer should give 50% of his harvest to the owner of the land he tilled. If
the farmer harvested 20 sacks of corn, how many sacks of corn should he give to the owner?
50% = 50/100
50/100 x 20 = 10
Hence, 50% of 20 = 10
Therefore, the farmer should give 10 sacks of the harvested corn to the land owner.
RATIO
A Ratio compares values. It says how much of one thing there is
compared to another thing.
7
3. Write it like fraction
Example: 3/1
Application:
So, the ratio of pesticide to water is 1:10. Or, we can say that 10 L of water is to 1 L of
pesticide.

In the above scenario, a 1 kg of nail has the same weight of 1 kg of cotton
because kilogram, as a unit of measure provides standard measurement of
mass.
Here are some conventions to be observed when writing in the metric and
decimal system:
LENGTH
10
The basic unit is meter (m).
Ruler, meterstick, and tape measure are often used to measure the length
of an object.
Conversion Table of Length
Quantity Name of Unit Symbol Value
Length millimetre mm 10 mm = 1 cm
centimetre cm 100 cm = 1 m
metre m 1 000 m = 1 km
kilometre km
Let’s convert:
How many meters (m) is 215 centimeters (cm)?
Solution:
Based on the table above, 100 cm = 1 m
215 cm x 1 m_ = 2.15 m
100 cm
MASS/WEIGHT
Mass refers to the amount of matter contained in an object. Thus, it
remains the same regardless of the location.
Weight relates to the gravitational pull of the earth upon a mass. Thus, a
person’s weight on the Moon varies his weight on Earth.
Just remember, mass and weight can be interchanged in our everyday
activity.
The basic unit is kilogram (kg).
Weighing Scale is the common instrument used in measurement.
11
35,700 kg x __1_t___ = 35.7 t
1 000 kg
TIME
The basic unit of time is second(s).
Clocks and calendars are the instrument used in measurement.
Conversion Table of Time
Quantity Name of Unit Symbol Value
Time second s
minute min 60 s = 1 min
hour h 60 min = 1 h
day day 24 h = 1 day
Let’s convert:
How many seconds in one day?
Solution:
7 days x 60 min x 60 s = 252 000 s
SURFACE AREA
Calculation of surface areas is one of the most important part in
farming. Measurement of farm inputs and labor will need to determine the
size of your farm. Hence, it is essential that you know how to compute
surface areas starting with the most common ones. This discussion has
been simplified for you to fully understand the concept.
12
Area is the surface included within a particular set of dimensions.
The basic unit of area is square meter (m2 or sq m).

equivalent to 10 000 square meter.

Now, are you ready to help Simon becoming an agripreneur?
I bet you are!
Then, let us find the needed data and perform the appropriate
calculation needed for the job requirement to arrive at the conclusion that
will help Simon.
Back to story of Simon…
Simon approached his father to get the needed data for his calculation
and offered help. His father agreed that he would help with the estimation and
calculation. He gave Simon the list of materials and asked him if the P 20,000.00
he prepared for the land preparation would be enough to cover all expenses.
Below are the list of materials needed during the land preparation for their
farm with the length of 80 meters and width of 125 meters.
Given the above data, we can now help Simon compute the cost of
each material using the knowledge that we learned.
Shall we start answering the following questions?

ACTIVITY 1 Calculation Hurdle
25
How much is the cost of the seeds if price of the seeds per kilo is P 125.00?
Given: Price per kilo = P 125.00
Seeds Needed = 40 kilos
Formula:
Cost of Seeds = Price per kilo x no. of kg of seeds needed
Solution:
Cost of Seeds = P 125.00 x 40 kg
Answer: Cost of Seeds= P 5,000.00
If his father paid P 4,800.00 for all 4 bags of fertilizer, how much is the cost per bag?
Given: Total amount paid = P 4,800.00
No. of bags = 4 bags
Formula:
Price per bag = Total amount paid ÷ no. of bags
Solution:
Price per bag = P 4,800.00 ÷ 4
Answer: Price per bag = P 1,200/bag
Ratio of insecticide is 1:400. There is 1 L of insecticide mixed with 400 liters of water. How
many Liters of insecticides needed for 1 load of knapsack sprayer with 16 liters of water
26
capacity. Express you answer in millilitre (ml).
Given: Ratio 1:400
1 load = 16 liters
Formula:
Percentage of Insecticides for every liter of water= ratio given
Solution: Ratio give is 1:400, if expressed in percentage 1/400 = .0025%
Meaning: for every 400 L mixture of insecticide and water, .0025% of which is insecticides.
No. of liters of Insecticides for every load
= Percentage of Insecticide x no. of liters per load
Solution:
.0025 x 16L = .04 L
Meaning: for every 1 load of knapsack sprayer with 16 liters capacity, you will need .04 L of
insecticide.
C. No. of Liters of Insecticides for every load expressed in mL =
No. Of Liters of Insecticides for every load expressed in L x 1 000 mL
Solution:
.04 L x 1 000 mL = 40 mL
Meaning: for every 1 load of knapsack sprayer with 16 liters capacity, you will need .04 L or 40
mL of insecticide.
If price per of insecticide is P 5,000.00 per liter. How much is the cost of insecticide?
Given: Price of insecticide per liter = P 5,000.00
27
No. of liter per load of knapsack sprayer = .04 L
No. of loads needed = 25 loads
Formula:
Total amount of insecticide needed for 25 loads =
no. of liter per load x no. of loads needed
Solution:
.04 L x 25 = 1L total needed
1L x P 5,000.00/liter = P 5,000.00 Total Cost of Insecticides
Meaning: If you will need .04 L of insecticide in 1 load and you will need 25 loads, you have to
purchase 1 L of insecticide at P 5,000.00 per liter. Hence, the total cost of pesticide.
What is the cost of labor all in all if plowing and harrowing using Carabao prevailing rate of
such labor is P400.00 per day.
Given: Plowing using carabao = 3 days
Harrowing using carabao = 1 week or 7 days per week
Prevailing rate per day = P 400.00/day
Formula:
Cost of labor = No. of days plowing + no. of days harrowing x prevailing
rate per day
Solution:
Cost of Labor = 3 days + 7 days x P 400.00/day
= P 4,000.00
28
Compute the surface area of the farm?
Given: Length = 80 m
Width = 125 m
Formula:
A = length x width
A = 80 m x 125 m
A = 10 000 m2 or 1 hectare
