Question 1 (26)
1.1. Solve and explain each step to grade 6 mathematics learners the following
multiplication and division calculations involving fractions. 1.1.1. 684÷ 612 (6)
1.1.2. 714× 418 (4)
1.1.3. 316× 624 (6)
1.1.4. 817÷ 124 (4)
1.2. Modelling refers to the idea that learners build in their minds and play out with objects
or in picture form on paper sometimes to solve problems. Give and explain at least three
benefits that you may achieve in your primary mathematics class by employing modelling.
(6)
1.1. Calculations
1.1.1. 684 ÷ 612
To solve this division problem, we can simplify the fraction 684612\frac{684}{612}612684.
1. Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 684 and 612:
o The factors of 684 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 19, 36, 57, 76, 114, 171, 228, 342, 684
o The factors of 612 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 18, 34, 51, 102, 153, 204, 306, 612
o The common factors are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
o The greatest common divisor is 12.
2. Simplify the fraction:
684÷12612÷12=5751\frac{684 \div 12}{612 \div 12} = \frac{57}{51}612÷12684÷12=5157
3. Simplify further by dividing by their GCD (3):
57÷351÷3=1917\frac{57 \div 3}{51 \div 3} = \frac{19}{17}51÷357÷3=1719
