 STUDY AND LEARN

Jeo and his mother went to Brgy. San Jose. Jeo’s friends wanted to know how far
the town proper was from Brgy. San Jose. One of his friends showed him a map.

Brgy. 4.57 km
Tagum Town 5.06 km
Proper Brgy.
Trinidad
6.5 km 3.84 km
Brgy. San
Jose Brgy. 4.138 km
Malvar

Brgy. San
Isidro
Let’s talk about the word problem.

Example 1:

 How far is Brgy. San Jose from the town proper?

 What are the facts needed to answer this question?

6.5 km from Brgy. San Jose to Brgy. Tagum

4.57 km from Brgy. Tagum to the town proper

 What operation shall we use? Addition

 Let’s solve.
1
6.50 km
+ 4.57km
11.07 km

The distance between Brgy. San Jose to the town proper is 11.07 km.

Let’s have another example.

How far is Brgy. Tagum from Brgy. San Isidro if you will pass through the town
proper?

What is the number sentence?

4.27 km + 5.06 km + 4.138 km = N

2
Let’s solve.
1
4.270  add zero
5.060  add zero
+ 4.138
13.468

The answer is 13.468 km.

Brgy. Tagum is 13.468 km away from Brgy. San Isidro.

Here’s another problem.

Example 2:

Which is farther from the town proper, Brgy. Trinidad or Brgy. Malvar?
What is the difference in the distance between the two barangays?

What operation are we going to use to solve the problem?

Let’s subtract the mixed decimals. Take note of the steps as we solve:

1. Write the numbers in a column. Align the decimal points. Place zero to the
empty decimal places.

5.06
- 3.84

2. Subtract the hundredths. Regroup if necessary.

5.06
- 3.84

3. Subtract the tenths. Regroup if necessary.

4 10

5.06
- 3.84

4. Subtract the ones. Place the decimal point directly below the decimal points of
the minuend and subtrahend.
