APPROXIMATION AND ESTIMATION
OUTCOMES
Express numbers to given significant figure.
Estimate measures or quantities.
Round-off numbers to specified degree of accuracy.
Express numbers in scientific notation or standard form.
Approximate numbers in scientific notation to given degree of accuracy.
Apply the concept of approximation in real life.

KEY POINTS
 Approximation of a number is way of estimating numbers to the nearest
exact values.
 The three common ways used to estimate numbers are use of significant
figures, rounding off numbers and use of decimal places.
 A significant figure is any digit from 1 to 9 appearing in a number. Zero is
significant only when it appears between the digits 1 to 9 in a number.
 In decimals, zero is significant when it appears between the digits 1 to 9 of a
decimal part and when it appears after the digits 1 to 9 to the right of the
decimal point
 This is an estimate of numbers to the nearest whole number value using the
place value system.
 If the digit to the right of the number to be rounded off is 5,6,7,8 or 9, add
one to the preceding digit and replace all the digits to the right of the
rounding off digit with zeros.
 If the digit to the right is either 0,1,2,3, or 4, do not add one to the preceding
digit, but replace the subsequent digits to the right of the rounding off digit
with zeros.
 Multiplication by 10 can be affected by moving the decimal point one place to
the right of its original position (so that the number is 10 times greater).
Similarly, to multiply by 100, move the point two places to the right; and so
on.

Volume = Base area x perpendicular height

The base is also considered to be the cross section

unitvolume or unit area or unit length. The density of a substance is defined
as its mass per unit volume and the SI (International System of Units)is

COMPUTERS
OUTCOMES
Construct decision boxes.
Identify and create loops in flow charts.
Write simple computer programmes.
Describe computer processes.
Construct flow charts
Use simple programmes to calculate area, volume, find averages and resolve
linear equation.

KEYS POINTS
 A flowchart is a graphical representation of an algorithm.
 These flowcharts play a vital role in the programming of a problem and are
quite helpful in understanding the logic of complicated and lengthy problems.
 All the flow charts we will be looking at begin with a Start Point and finish
with an End Point.

 Most of the boxes on a flow chart are instructions, which tell you what to do
next. These appear in rectangular boxes.

 (Decision) Sometimes a question needs to be answered to decide what

instruction should happen next. These questions are put in decision boxes

 Once the flowchart is drawn, it becomes easy to write the program in any
high level language.
 Often we see how flowcharts are helpful in explaining the program to others.
Hence, it is correct to say that a flowchart is a must for the better
documentation of a complex program
 A loop is a series of steps that are repeated until a condition is satisfied.

 173) Write a flow chart to subtract 4 repeatedly, starting from 30 until the
difference is smaller than 0.

174) The flow chart below shows how a company calculates agents’s commission
based on monthly sales. Mrs. Chirwa, an agent at this company, made sales
of K 4 780.00 in one month. Calculate Mrs. Chirwa’s commision in that
month

175) Make a flow chart for solving the following equation; 2x – 3 = 11

176) Make a flow chart for converting marks out of 150 to percentages.

177) Draw a flow chart for the mapping x→3x -1, and use it to complete the
ordered pairs (1, ), (2, ), (5, )

178) Both ZNBC and Muvi have advertised that they will beam the same football
match. Chewe wants to watch the game. Draw a flow chart for Chewe.
179) Mapalo goes to school in the afternoon. He has just noticed that his shirt is
dirty. Here are some steps he takes;
180) Here are some jumbled-up instructions for making vitumbuwa;
STOP
Fry sets of vitumbuwa
Is the dough ready
Mix correct ingredients
START
Put oil in the pan
Make fire
Allow dough to get ready

Re-arrange these instructions and then make a flow chart.

181) Establish whether or not a number is divisible by 3.

182) Make a flow chart for calculating the selling price of goods during a sale.
On goods marked at less than K 150, the discount is 5%; on goods marked
K 150 or more the discount is 10%.
