To calculate divide 11,800 by 1.18
|
One way to work this out is to add the pence first: 65p + 25p = 90p
Next add the units of pounds: £0 + £5 + £5 + £1 = £11 Then add the tens of pounds: £10 + £10 = £20 Then add all of these to the hundreds of pounds: £200 + £20 + £11 + 90p = £231.90 |

To work out 15 x 23 you could work out 10 x 23 and 5 x 23 and add the two together:
10 x 23p = £2.30 and 5 x 23p = £1.15 £2.30 + £1.15 = £3.45 |
To do this you could take away first the pence units, then pence tens, then pound units then pound tens:
£23.78 - 9p = £23.69 £23.69 - 20p = £23.49 £23.49 - £5 = £18.49 £18.49 - £10 = £8.49 |

To divide £16 by 10 just move the decimal point one place to the left:
£16.00 ÷ 10 = £1.60 |
£3.76 + £5.30 + £16 = £25.06 which is £4.94 less than £30. £30 is £20 less than £50

To express this as a number sentence would be (3.60 x 5) + (2.50 x 3)
