Chapter 3.2, Problem 11P

Tylishia says that she can calculate 324 197 by adding 3 to both numbers and calculating 324 200 instead.

  1. Draw a number line (which need not be perfectly to scale) to help you explain why Tylishia’s method is valid.
  2. Explain in another way why Tylishia’s method is valid.
  3. Could you adapt Tylishia’s method to other subtraction problems, such as to the problem 183249? If so, give at least two more examples and show how to apply Tylishia’s method in each case.

Johnny is solving the multiplication problem 13.8 × 1.42 by multiplying longhand. Ignoring the decimal points, Johnny gets 19596, and now he must figure out where the decimal point goes. Johnny doesn’t yet know the rule about adding the number of places behind the decimal points in 13.8 and 1.42. Explain how Johnny can use reasoning about the sizes of the numbers to determine where the decimal point should go in his answer.
In 2015, the value of the freight, in dollars, that came into Florida was 3.46 x 10(11).  The value of the freight, in dollars, that flowed within Orlando was 1.73 x 10(10).  How many times larger is the value of the freight, in dollars that came into Florida than the freight that flowed within Orlando?   The parenthesis after the number means to that tenth power.   Problem to solve:  The value of the freight, in dollars, that came into Florida is ____________.  Answer choices are 0.5, 2, 20, 50, 200 ___________________ times larger than the freight that flowed within Orlando.
