 Decimals and Its Operations   Decimals A fraction with the denominator as power of 10 (like 10, 100, 1000 etc.) is called decimal. It is expressed as the numbers with a point in between, called decimal point. It is expressed as the numbers with a point in between, called decimal point. In other words, decimal consists of two parts which are separated by a decimal point.  
  •                Example
2.564, 0.0023, 3.2565, 5431.23 are decimal.   Expanded Form of Decimals Expanded form of a decimal represents the addition of place values of the digits, respective to their positions in the decimal.  
  •                 Example
Write the expanded form of the decimal 69.4756. Solution: \[60\,+\,9\,+\,\frac{4}{10}\,+\,\frac{7}{100}\,+\,\frac{5}{1000}\,+\,\frac{6}{10000}\]  
  •             Example
Write the decimal 0.99 in expanded form. Solution: \[\frac{9}{10}\,+\,\frac{9}{100}\]   Decimal Places The number of digits placed in right to the point of a decimal is called the decimal places of that decimal.  
  •            Example
The decimal 564.3549 has four decimal places because it has four digits right to the point.   Like Decimals Like decimals have same number of decimal places.  
  •            Example
45.32965 and 0.00236 are like decimals, because they have the same number of decimal places.   Unlike Decimals Unlike decimals have different number of decimal places.  
  •             Example
236.236 and 236.23 are unlike decimals, because they have different number of decimal places.   Equivalent Decimals The decimals which have same value are called equivalent decimals.
  •       Example
4.52 and 4.5200 are equivalent decimals, because they have same value.   Comparison of Decimal Step 1: Compare the integral parts of the decimals, the decimal having greater integral part is greater. Step 2: If the integral parts are equal, compare the decimal part. The decimal having greater decimal part is greater.  
  •              Example
Compare between 542.565 and 502.9349 and find which is greater. Solution: 542.565 is greater than 502.9349 because 542.565 has greater integral part.

Applied Mathematics: Percentage, Ratio and Proportion   Introduction You must have heard the word percentage in day-to ?day conversation. ·         Ms. Arora?s daughter has got 94% in her Board Exam. ·         V-Mart is giving 50 percentage discount. The word ?Percentage? has come from two words: Per and Cent. Per means ?out of? and cent means ?Hundred?. So the word percentage means out of hundred or per hundred. In this chapter, we will study about percentage, profit/loss, ratio and proportion, direct and inverse variations and their use in our everyday life.   Percentage All fraction that are written with a denominator of 100 can be written as percentages. The symbol for percentage is %. Percentage can be shown using diagrams. Look at the given square below. It is divided into 100 smaller squares. The shaded squares will always be a fraction of 100. In this given figure, there are 23 shaded squares. Since, 23 out of 100 squares are shaded, we can say \[\frac{23}{100}\] of the whole part (large square) is shaded. Here, \[\frac{23}{100}\] has 100 as its denominator, we call it a percentage. \[\frac{23}{100}\] can be named as 23 percent of 23% So, \[\frac{23}{100}\]= 23% and 23% = \[\frac{23}{100}\]. Remember that the numerator of a fraction with denominator 100 will be percentage.

 Number Sense and Numerations   Numbers Numbers are mathematical symbol by which we express date, time, distance, position, quantity etc. We use ten symbols (0, 1, 2. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to write any number. Like 346562232, 34654521155, 4003444656 etc.   Number System Number system deals with the study of different types of numbers. In this chapter, we will study about the categorization of different types of numbers.   Natural Numbers Counting starts with 1 and continue till infinite. Counting numbers are called natural numbers. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ........... etc.   Whole Numbers When 0 is included with natural numbers, they are called whole number. In other words ?Natural numbers together with zero are called whole numbers.? For example, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ............ etc.   Integers Integers are the collection of whole numbers and negative of natural numbers. For example, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6, +7 ........... Etc. System of Numeration Mathematical notation of numbers is called numeration. Let us know about two types of numeration. (a) Indian system of numeration (b) International system of numeration Indian System of Numeration It is a positional decimal number system. Look at the following place value chart

 Operation on Numbers    Operation on Numbers In the previous chapter we have studied about numbers, way of numeration and some properties of numbers. In this chapter we will study operation on numbers. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are four basic arithmetic operations. Let us know about them.  Addition Under the operation of addition two or more than two numbers are added with each other.
  •       Example:
Add 544214474 and 904426456. Solution: 544214474 + 904426456 = 1448640930
  •     Example:
Add 798649665 and 23479725. Solution: 798649665 + 23479725 = 822129390  Subtraction Under the operation of subtraction, difference between two numbers is to be calculated.
  •       Example:
Subtract 234495 from 87445653. Solution: 87445653 - 234495 = 87211158
  •        Example:
Subtract 5744544 from 238995440 Solution: 238995440 - 5744544 = 233250896 Multiplication When a number is added to itself for a number of times, the process of addition becomes bigger and lengthy. Therefore a short cut method was developed to perform such additions, called multiplication. Thus, multiplication is a short cut method of repeated addition.
  •    Example:
Multiply 65446565 and 3254 Solution: 65446565 \[\times \] 3254 = 212963122510
  •      Example:
Find the product of 245454 and 407 Solution: 245454 \[\times \] 407 = 99899778 Division Division is the distribution of a quantity into some parts, in such a way, so that each of the parts contains equal amount.
  •       Example:
Divide 654545650 by 25. Solution: 654545650 \[\div \] 25 = 26181826
  •       Example:

Categories of Computers   Introduction Computers are categorized on the basis of types of input signal processed by its peripherals, purpose of their use, physical structure, speed and reliability. Two types of signal are usually processed by the computer, these are digital and analog signal. Some types of computer processes both analog and digital signal. Therefore, depending on the types of input signal processed by computer, they are categorized into three groups.   v  Digital computers work on digital signal. v  Analog computers work on analog signal. v  Hybrid computers work on both digital and analog signal.   In this chapter we will study more about these classification.   Digital Computer   A digital computer is a computer that stores data in terms of binary digits (digital) and proceeds in discrete steps from one state to the next. The word 'digital' stands for discrete (step-by-step) and hence, digital computers can take only discrete values. A digital computer gives accurate information than an analog computer.   Types of Digital Computer   Types of Digital computer are based on their size and performance, purpose of their use, etc.   Depending upon the size and performance, digital computers are categorized into five tvpes. They are the followings.   Embedded Computer   An Embedded computer is one that has computer hardware with software embedded in it as one its important components. Smallest Embedded computers are equipped within the circuit and they are programmed for performing the specific task. An example of embedded computer is soldered on the television circuit which performs the task during the tuning to a particular television frequency.   Look at the following picture of Embedded computers as a TV tuner card:     Microcomputer A Microcomputer contain a microprocessor which works as a CPU. It accepts input, stores large quantities of data, execute complex instructions which direct it to perform mathematical and logical operations and outputs the answer in a human readable form. The microcomputers are basically used in educational training, playing games, etc. The microcomputer are further divided into Desktop computer, workstation and PDAs.   Minicomputers A Minicomputer is midsized computer. A multi-user computer capable of supporting from 10 to 100 of users simultaneously. In terms of size and power, minicomputers lie between microcomputer and mainframe. They have capability to connected more input and output devices than microcomputer and also known as multiuser computer.   Mainframe Computers A Mainframe computers are large-sized, powerful multi-user computers that can support concurrent programs. It can be used by as many as hundreds or thousands of users at the same time. Large organisations may use a mainframe computer to execute large-scale processes such as processing the organisation's payroll. It is designed to handle large volume of data and information and also has great processing speed as compare to the minicomputer. more...
