Clear and clear all keys Module 2.1 Some basic calculators have a and a key. • The key (or key) clears everything on the display. • The key stands for 'clear entry' and it clears the last thing that was entered. Decimal points and separators • Type in a decimal number e.g. 10 000,99. The calculator display often shows a decimal point, not a decimal comma. • Some calculators show markings (separators) between groups of three digits to make the display number easier to read.

Divide numerator by denominator OR • Recurring decimals have digits that keep repeating shown by a dot above the digit. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 3
Adding and subtracting decimals Unit 2.4 • Work from left to right, adding or subtracting numbers of the same place value. • Keep the decimal comma in the correct place. • Without a calculator: • write the numbers underneath each other • insert zeros if the numbers do not have the same number of decimal places Example: 8 , 2 0 1 • Calculate and then check with a calculator. 0 , 9 7 0 8,201 + 0,97 + 1,34 + 1 , 3 4 0 1 0 , 5 1 1 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 3
Multiplying decimals Unit 2.4 Without a calculator: • Multiply as with whole numbers, without decimal commas. • Count the number of decimal places in each number multiplied. • The answer needs that number of decimal places. Count the places from the right of the answer. Example 2.15 page 32 no 2 A plumber charges R225,75 per hour and works for 3,5 hours. What is his fee?
