Numeracy, data & IT

INTRODUCTION
Arithmetic expertise is described as the ability to think about and apply exact predictive
concepts, while IT competence is described as having the ability to compute and evaluate the
available arithmetic and IT data (Ascher, 2018.). Mastering in basic arithmetic, statistics,
probability, measurement is an important aspect of developing fundamental mathematical
abilities. Mathematics is required for logical cognition and mental skills in everyday routines.
The concept of numeracy is important for actions such as dining, completing tasks, assessing
invoicing, and playing sports. It also makes mathematical knowledge, patterns, scheduling, and
forms available. It was established that the concepts of language arts and mathematics may
enable them to build the basic skills that are require in day to day operation in life. There is a
significant strategies for increasing literacy and mathematical abilities, as well as helps the
learner in learning concepts that act in contributing as an active and well-informed person. This
mathematics repertory is split into 3 main exercises, each of which should be done individually.
Part 1
Question 1
As said before, mathematics competency is interpreted as the capability to analyse and
implement simple mathematical concepts. Basic quantitative abilities necessitate knowledge of
fundamental calculated values like summing, finding average, differences. Let know the meaning
of the following two types of fraction (Kilpatrick, 2020).
a) Numerator: numerator define as number which divide the total numbers in a part.
b) Denominator : It means the total part in a fraction.
When expressing numbers as percentages, the equation is x /y, where the upper part (x) denotes
the numerator and the lower part (y)stands for denominator. For example 4/5 is a fraction in
which 4 is the numerator and 5 is denominator. As a result, the numerator is the number just
above fraction line, and the denominator is the number below it. In the graphic below, the
numerator is shown-

Question 2
a) 24/40 in simplest form:
24 / 40 divide it by 8 then it will be 3 / 5
b) 18/42 in their simplest forms
by dividing it to 6 it will = 3 / 7.
Question 3
(a)Expressing the fraction 2/3, ¾ and 5/6 as equivalent fractions with a denominator of 12.
2 * 4 / 3* 4 = 8 / 12
3* 3 / 4 *3 = 9 / 12
5 *2 / 6 * 2 = 10 / 12
(b)total books 60,000 .
14,000 are business books,
22,000 healthcare books and
12,000 on psychology and law.
Remaining book = 60000 – (14000 + 22000 + 12000) = 12000
The computer books is 2/3 of the remainder = 2/3 x 12000 = 8000
the percentage of computing out of total books in the library are 8000/60000 x 100 = 13.33%
Question 4
-Liza buys 2 pairs of shoes.
- Liza provides three £50 notes = £50 x 3 = £150
change money get = £10.50
Total amount for shoes= 150- 10.50
= £139.50
single shoe amount = £139.50 / 2
Therefore, each pair of the running shoes cost £69.75
Question 5
(a). 240.50 x 19.54 in two significant number

for two numbers there will be 4 decimal place after the value 240.50 x 19.54 = 4699.3700
= 4699.37 (2 decimal places)
after two decimal the number will be 4700
(b) 52100 in the power of 10
5.21 x 104
Question 6
(a). A new gym offers 30% discount in registration in initial month
there are 3 people who register
together three pay £210
Let the total discount be y Therefore
discount amount is 210* 30%
= £ 63
(b) The total savings made was £63 There are 3 person
Therefore, the average savings per person is
£63 / 3 = £27
Question 7
(a) 3 / 4 + 7 / 9 + 2 / 3
Use BODMASS
(27-28+24)/36 = 23 / 36
(b) largest numbers 0.1, 0.02, 0.003, 0.0004, 0.00005 out of them will be 0.1 because if the
whole number is divided by 100 then out of the among 0.1 will be equal to 10 and
another values will be small.
Question 8
-total 90 men and 60 women were asked that whether they watched the movie or not

total audience are = 90+ 60 = 150
- The fraction of people that said yes = 3/5 (150 * 3 /5) = 90
-Portion of women who watched are = 3/10
Portion Fraction of men also watched the movie = 3/5 – 3/10 = 3/10
-Fraction of men that didn't watch= 1 – 3/10 = 7/10
total of men who did not watch are= 7 / 10 * 90 = 63
percentage who did not watched among men are = 63 / 90 * 100
= 70%
Question 9
-Annabelle resides at Bermondsey in London.
-She will deliver her speech in Birmingham at 10:30 am
time taken by her from her residence to Euston Station will be an hour (1 hr), from she will
gets the train to Birmingham
-Train journey from Euston Station to Birmingham is an hour and 10 minutes (7/6 hrs)
- The meeting destination is a 5-minute (1/6hr) walk from the platform.
Therefore, total time it will taken by Annabelle's journey from her home to the venue is = 1 hrs
+ 7/6 hrs + 1/12 hr = 27/12 hrs = 2 hours 15 minutes
the total time taken by her to reach at the destination at the scheduled time
=(10hrs 30minutes) – (2hrs 15 minutes) = 8hr 15minutes
the train that runs from Euston to Birmingham is are for different time at 5 minutes past the
hour, 25 minutes past the hour and 45 minutes past the hour.
Hence the earliest time that Annabelle can left from her house is at 8 : 15am
Question 10
Shredded Wheat weight is = 0.35
Weetabix box weight is = 9/25 that is 0.36 kg
Now we need to convert them into numbers (0.35,0.36)/100
so from the above calculation the value of the Shredded Wheat is 35, and that of the Weetabox
is 36 ,
