- Use Bodmas to evaluate. (3mks)
½ (3/5 + ¼ (7/3 – 3/7 ) of 1 ½ ÷ 5)
3 5/7
½ (3/5 + (40/21) of 1 ½ ÷ 5)
½ (3/5 + 10/21 x 3/2 x 1/5)
½ (3/5 + 1/7)
½ (26/35) = 13/35
13/35 ÷ 35/7
13/35 x 7/26
= 1/10 - Victoria spent ¼ of his net January salary on school fees. She spent ¼ of the remainder on electricity and water bills. She then spent 1/9 of what was left on transport. If she finally had sh. 3400. What was her net January salary. (3mks)
School fees= ¼
Electricity = ¼ x ¾ = 3/16
Transport = 1/9 x 9/16 = 1/16
Total = ½
½ = 3400
Total salary = shs. 6800 - Using mathematical tables evaluate.
