Learning point

If a number is below the midpoint it is rounded down to the nearest hundred. If a 

number is at the midpoint or above, it is rounded up to the next hundred.

What is 3 567 rounded off to the nearest 

1

Identify the midpoint of the numbers.
3 500, 

3 550

, 3 600

3 567 is above the mid-point. It is therefore nearer to 3 600.
3 567 rounded off to the nearest hundred is 3 600.

Fractions that have the same value, even though they may look different are called 

equivalent fractions

Learning point

Area of a rectangle = Length (l) × width (w). That is,  A = l x w where 

l

 is the length 

and 

w

 is the width of the rectangle. 

A square is a special type of rectangle because its sides are equal.
So for squares, the area is given by multiplying side by side.
The formula we use is Area = side × side. 

Find the area of each of the following if each of the squares has an area of 

1

 square 

centimetre.

1

0 shillings per square centimetre. Paloma repaired 

a rectangular section of her tiled floor of length 80 cm and width 30 cm. How much did 
Paloma spend to repair her floor?

Working

To find the total cost of repairing the floor, we multiply the area of the section of the 

floor to be repaired by the cost of repairing one square centimetre (

Learning point

We can follow the following steps when constructing a frequency table:

1. 

Draw a table with three columns. Write down the data items that will be collected 
in the first column. 

2. 

Complete the second column by placing one tally mark at the appropriate place 
for every data value collected.  When the fifth tally is reached for a mark, draw a 
horizontal line through the first four tally marks.  We continue this process until all 
data values in the list are tallied.

3. 

Count the number of tally marks for each data value and write it in the third column.

Mwende spent 3 500 shillings at the market.  This was seven hundred shillings less than 
three times what she had spent at the shop.

This was 700 less than 3 times what she spent at the market. 
She spent 3 500 shillings at the market. 
Therefore, the simple equation is, 3 p − 700 = 3 500

(b) 

To get how much she spent at the shop, solve the expression for the value of p: 

3 p − 700 = 3 500

A number is divisible by 5 if the last 
digit is 5 or 0. Since the last digit in 

4

0 is 0 and the last digit in 35 is 5,
