PART 2
Read and understand the situation below, then answer the questions or perform the tasks
that follow.
Hold on HOPE
Because of the supper typhoon Yolanda, there was a big each of need for blood donors,
medicines, doctors, nurses, medical aides, or any form of medical assistance. The Red Cross
planned to involve different agencies, organizations, and offices, public and private, local and
international, in their project to have massive medical services. The Red Cross contacted first
three of the biggest networks, and each of these networks contacted three other networks,
and agencies, organizations, and offices, and so on, until enough of these contacted. It took
one hour for an organization to contact three other organizations and all the contacts made
were completed within 4 hours. Assume that no group was contacted twice.
1. Suppose you are one of the people in the Red Cross who visualized this project. How
many organizations do you think were contacted in the last round? How many
organizations were contacted within 4 hours.
2. Make a table to represent the number of organizations, agencies, and offices who
could have been contacted n each round.

Read This:
When we read or talk about fractions, we use special numbers called ordinal numbers. A
good way to remember this is that many of them are the same numbers you use when
you're putting things in order: third, fourth, fifth, and so on.
You might know some of these numbers already. For example, when you tell your boss
you'll be at work in half an hour, you're saying that you'll get there in 1/2 of an hour. If
you're helping a friend bake a cake and she asks you for a third of a cup of sugar, you might
know to hand her the measuring cup that says 1/3.
Here are some of the most commonly used fractions:
A good rule to remember is that most ordinal numbers end in "th." So, 1/20
is one-twentieth. 1/35 is one-thirty-fifth. 1/54 is one-fifty-fourth.
What about fractions that don't have a 1 on top? Read these as if you were
counting. So if 1/5 is one-fifth, then 2/5 is two-fifths, and 3/5 is three-fifths.
The top number will always be a "normal" number like the ones you use to
count, and the bottom number is always an ordinal number.
Fundamental operations with signed numbers
Addition of signed numbers
1. The Sto. Tomas NHS basketball team won 5 points on the first game, and gain
again 3 points on the second game. Use a number line to find the total gain in the 2
games.
2. In another set of games, the same team lost the first game by 7 points and lost the
second game again by 3 points. Use the number line to find the team’s total loss.
Remember :
The sum of two positive number is a positive number.
The sum of two negative number is a negative number.
Study the figure below:
Remember :
The sum of the positive and negative numbers is the difference between their absolute
values, and the sign of the sum follows the sign of the number with the greater absolute
value.
The absolute value of a number is the distance on the number line between a number and
zero without any regard to its direction. Thus, the number is represented without a
positive or negative sign.
Test Yourself
Find the sum:
1. 14 + 26 =
2. (-28/ + (-37) =
3. (-0.76) + (-0.89) =
4. 39 + (-64) + (-27) =
5. (-58) + (-24) + 73 =
Solve the following Problems:
1. What is the result of borrowing Php 20.00 and then paying Php 8.00?
2. Going up to his room, a boy will take 7 steps up the landing and another 9 steps to
reach his room. How many steps does he take in all?
