Alexandria & Jay Decimal DLO

The question that we are doing is about Decimals. We are going to have to add the decimal all up to get our answer. The question is that Andrew weighs 45.6kg and his cat weighs 4.8kg, so we have to add 45.6 and 4.8 together.

The strategy that we are going to use is rounding one of the decimal numbers to the nearest ten. First we will add 0.2 to 4.8 and then takeaway 0.2 from 45.6. So the question now will be 

5 + 45.4 the reason that we took away 0.2 from 45.8 after adding 0.2 to 4.8 is to balance the numbers or there will be two much.

So now we will have to add 45.4 and 5 together.We know that 5 and 45 will add up to 50 then we just add the leftover 0.4 and the answer we got is 50.4

My Maths Strategy ( DLO )

So Dairy one sells 36 ice blocks and 3/4 of these ice blocks are raspberry. Dairy Two sells 28 ice blocks and 3/7 of these are raspberry. Which dairy sells the most raspberry ice blocks??

Dairy One: Well first of all I know that 9 times 4 equals 36 and 9 times 3 equals 27 so there is 27 raspberry ice blocks for dairy one.

Dairy Two: First of all I know that 28 divide 7 equals 4 and 4 times 3 equals 12 so there is 12 raspberry ice blocks in dairy two.

So Dairy One wins because Dairy one has 27 raspberry ice blocks and Dairy Two only has 12.
