How much is a math gcse worth?

Math help? GCSE exam soon!?

  • Help!! Im in year 9 and i have my Modular GCSE (2/3 part of my GCSE!) I am really worried, I cannot do fractions to save my life! On all the past papers that I have done, has been questions saying: 1. 3/7 / 8 (three out of seven divided by 8) 2. 3 1/2 - 1 6/7 (3 and 1 half subtract 1 and sixth sevenths) 3. Find the least common multiple of 23 and 29 Write down the highest common factor of 23 and 29 Work out the highest common factor of 46 and 58 If any body knows how to do these questions, would you tell me the answers and explain how to do the questions... I have my exam first thing monday morning so I won't be able to go to the teacher and ask... x x

  • Answer:

    1. 3/7 / 8 = 3/7 x 1/8 = 3/56 When you're dividing a by b, you're actually multiplying a with 1/b. 2. 3 1/2 - 1 6/7 = 7/2 - 13/7 = 49/14 - 26/14 = 23/14 = 1 9/14 Firstly, convert all mixed fractions to improper fractions. Secondly, find the common denominator. Thirdly, simplify. Lastly, convert it back to mixed fraction. 3. LCM of 23 and 29 = 23 x 29 = 667 Normally, we would list down the multiples or use prime factorisation. However, 23 and 29 are prime numbers. Hence, the only possible way is to multiply 23 with 29. 4. HCF of 23 and 29 = 1 They are prime numbers. 5. HCF of 46 and 58 = 2 46 = 2 x 23 58 = 2 x 29 HCF of 23 and 29 is 1 and that 2 is greater than 1.

1) when dividing fractions, what you do is flip one upside down and then multiply the top and bottom, so in this instance you would do 3/7 x 1/8 (because 8 is equal to 8/1 and that is flipped upside down to become 1/8) and the answer is 3/56 2) what you do when taking fractions away is firstly make them top heavy (the number on top is larger than the number on the bottom) and make the numbers on the bottom the same and then take the smaller one away from the larger one. In this instance, you need to make 3.5 into 7/2 and 1 6/7 into 13/7, then you make the bottom number the same which would be 14 (as this is the smallest number that 2 and 7 (the numbers on the bottom) will go into, but you also need to times the top number up by the same amount (7/2 becomes 49/14 because top and bottom are multiplied by 7, 13/7 becomes 26/14 because top and bottom are multiplied by 2). Then you need to take the largest from the smallest, which is 49 - 26 (you take the top numbers away) which equals 23, so the answer is 23/49! 3) LCM (least common multiple) - what you do is separate the prime factors out - 23 has one prime factor which is 23 and 29 has one prime factor which is 29 - and then put these factors in a venn diagram and times all that you can see in the venn diagram, which is 23 x 29 in this instance, which is 667. HCF (highest common factor) what you do is separate out the prime factors - 23 and 29 again - and then put them in the venn diagram again and multiply anything in the middle. This instance is odd, as there is only one prime factor for both and so you take 1 to be a prime factor in both (even though 1 isnt a prime number) and 1 is the only number in the centre of the venn diagram so the answer is 1. HCF of 46 and 58 - prime factors of 46 are 23 and 2, prime factors of 58 are 29 and 2. In the Venn diagram, 2 is the only number common to both and so the highest common factor is 2.

I'm fascinated by numerology. I strongly believe that numbers reflect certain aptitudes and character tendencies, as an integral part of the cosmic plan. Each letter has a numeric value that provides a related cosmic vibration. The sum of the numbers in your birth date and the sum of value derived from the letters in the name provide an interrelation of vibrations. These numbers show a great deal about character, purpose in life, what motivates, and where talents may lie.

1) 3/7 x 1/8 (keep change flip)= 3/56 2) turn to improper fractions= 7/2 - 13/7, find the LCD,(14) = 49/14- 26/14, then subtract... 3) a. multiply them and then find the highest number that could divide that number b. those are prime numbers so the only common factor is 1 c. highest common factor is 2

The key to dividing fractions is to make the fractions on one straightforward line. For example- 3/7 /8 can be rewritten as 3/7 X 1/8. This is because dividing by any variable/number is the same thing as multiplying by it's reciprocal. i.e. the reciprocal of 17 is 1 / 17 and the reciprocal of 5483uqhigrfe is 1 / 5483uqhigrfe. So, now that we have 3/7 X 1/8 you can just multiply straight across. So, 3X1 (over) 7X8 which is 3/56 So, 3/7/8 is 3/56. When adding and subtracting fractions, you want to make common denominators. (denominator is tthe bottom number of a simple fraction) I have to go, i hope that helps with the first type of question.

so remember when dividing fractions, that you flip the second fraction and multiply it by the first, so write them out as fractions to make it easier: 1. 3/7 divide by 8/1 which is the same as 3/7 x 1/8 = 3/56 for number 2, write them as fractions, so you would times the whole number (e.g. 3) by the denominator (2) and then times by the numerator (1) 2. 7/2 - 13/7 find the common denominator (which in this case is fourteen) then for each see how many times the denominator goes into the common denominator, then times by the numerator so [(7x7) - (2x13)] / 14 = 23/14 = 1 and 9/14 least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that both the numbers can be divided into highest common factor (HCF) is the highest number that can be divided into both those numbers 3. usually the LCM is when you times the numbers together so 23x29 = 667 HCF of 23 and 29 is 1 (they are both prime numbers) HCF of 46 and 58 is 2 good luck with your GCSE (its not as bad as you think, then again i did do it 3 years ago)
