# Now , what is the formula for your Pythagoras theorem ? # Right ! # The square on the hypotenuse # equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides . # The square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides . # Alright ? # And the squ hypotenuse is always the longest side . # It's the side opposite the right angle . # So there's your right angle that is the hypotenuse and the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares , that's the su , the area of that square and the area of that square add together the sum of the squares on the other two sides . # Alright ? # The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides . # So what they're saying is this that the square on that side # is thirty six , so what's the length of that side ? # No ! # The square root of thirty six . # What two numbers amount to # That's right . # So the that side must be six centimetres # The square is six times six which is thirty six . # That is four square centimetres . # It's four centimetres and the square is sixteen so , what must be the area of that square ? # Twenty . # Right ! # So you've got to find what number multiplied together makes twenty . # So it's going to , the length of that side is going to be the # You find the square root of twenty . # That's right . # And how do you find the square root of twenty ? # You'll use that yes ! # Aren't you lucky ? # Because I we never had sa we never had erm calculators . # So you had to find the square root of by ar either arithmetic by # doing in an arithmetic way or you had to use a sca , a log table . # You had to use log tables . # You had to use this sort of thing like find it up in a mess hasn't it ? # Erm I had to go to a table like that which said square roots and I had to look up twenty # Square roots twe # square root is twenty and it's four point four seven two one . # That's right . # But , as you say you can use this # Which one do you push now ? # That's right . # Four point four seven two . # So , you know , that's well the way you do it . # So th that's how you find that . # So now when you got these three here # You've done those have you ? # Well let's see that you got them right shall we ? # So , this one you've got twenty five equals nine plus some number . # Right ? # So , that is going to be sixteen isn't it ? # No it isn't . # Yes it is , sixteen . # So , what's that gonna be ? # Sixteen # Four . # So that's # gonna be four . # So , C five A , have you got four ? # Yes you have . # Right . # Now , B again , that the square root of that is going to equal the square root of that plus the square root of that . # So you've got sixteen # Or rather , sixty four e eighty one equals sixty four plus some number . # So , sixty four from eighty one # Gives you # Gives you seventeen . # So now , for the answer to that one # you want the square root of seventeen which is four point one two . # Right ! # So C again , you've got eleven elevens , what are eleven elevens ? # A hundred and twenty one equals thirty six , plus some number . # So what is a hundred and twenty one less thirty six ? # Eighty five . # Have you got eighty five ? # The square root of eighty five ? # Yes , you have ! # Er , the square root of eighty five , that sounds reasonable so I would assume that's right . # D you've got sixty four equals # twenty five plus some number , so what's that ? # Thirty nine ? # The square root of thirty nine which is obviously reasonable so that's alright . # Right ! # So how's # C six ? # And you can't do C six ? # Yes , you can mar , well yes you can do . # Why don't you tick it neatly ? # As I've said before ! # You don't . # No , it's alright ! # Leave # it now but erm # that's , you know , you should erm Okay ! # So you're going to do C six . # I will do them while you do them . # Cos I # Which is the hypotenuse ? # Which one ? # Right . # Right ! # I'll tell you what write it down on paper and then you can copy it into your book when you know you've got it right . # How about that ? # Right ! # I'll settle for that . # Well I mean you've got the right answer so erm # Yes , what have you done ? # Five doesn't equal twenty five . # You haven't got five times , you've got five equals twenty five . # Five square equals twenty five ! # Yahhh But if you write that look ! # Five equals twenty five is not true ! # Five squared equals twenty five yes ! # Right ? # Be very precise . # But you shouldn't ever write five equals twenty five cos it doesn't ! # You mean five squared , you mean five times five equals twenty five you're looking for five squared , so that's the right thing to write ! # Alright ? # Yes . # Mhm . # Which one are we doing ? # What have you got ? # You've got you've got nine nines are eighty one , nine squared equals eighty , nine squared equals # what ? # Ah pa cha cha cha cha cha Right . # Five squared equals twenty five right now what have you got to do ? # That's right . # Right . # That's right . # Right . # That's right . # Eight hundred and ninety four ? # What's the square root of eighty ? # That's better ! # Right , eight point nine four . # What did you get the other one ? # Right . # That's right . # Alright but just wondering why you've got this book . # All of you ? # Oh . # Are you ? # Well this , you see this is the interesting thing because that hum What's that in ? # I've , I've just been dealing with that in a booklet . # If I could erm only remember which booklet it was . # Erm That pa that page or was it ? # No , perhaps it wasn't a booklet . # Perhaps it wasn't a booklet . # I'm just wondering why , cos someone's been dealing with that # just this week . # No ! # I can't , I'll have to find it some other time but er right yellow book two , let's have a look yellow book two . # No ! # I'll leave it . # Right ! # Er , so now what erm # Have you done that booklet ? # Erm you , have you done any on it ? # Right , let's mark what you've done . # You do this in your school book do you ? # Right , that's right . # That's right . # Can do if you want . # That's right . # Well er yes , A five is on the answer is on the erm back cover of your book . # A four's alright , yeah . # Now loo , look on the , no no , wait a moment ! # Look on the back cover of your booklet inside the back cover . # Right , that's alright . # They're alright . # That's right . # Right . # Right . # Right . # Right . # Right . # Right . # Right . # Right . # Right . # Mhm . # Right . # You can do if you want . # Is that but you're doing that at school are you as well ? # Right okay . # So B six . # Er ,one to mark here . # Well , I think perhaps what we'll do cos you've missed quite a few of these out so I think what we'll do erm is to leave that what you're doing there for a moment we'll go through this mark this and the one's you haven't done we'll do so that you've got this one straight . # Okay ? # Oh yes ! # So there is . # Well , well anyway we'll do do that and see see what the other's like . # You've been caught ! # Right ! # This one posts are erected at a hundred metre intervals on a motorway , how many posts are there in a distance of four thousand seven hundred kilometres ? # No . # As I say , you have been caught in a little trap ! # Posts are erected # posts are erected every hundred metres , right ? # There's a hundred metres there's two hundred metres there's three hundred metres how many posts in three hundred metres ? # Mm . # Right . # Because at no metres there's one post and at the end of a hundred metres you've got two posts so you got one post more # distance . # Forty eight right ! # Got it ? # Always # be wary of that . # And the same thing applies posts are a hundred metres apart . # If you are at the fifth post how far have you gone from the start ? # How far have you gone from the start ? # Right ! # Fifth post , one , two , three , four , five the fifth post you have gone four hundred metres . # So wherever you get that sort of question just stop and think # because it's either one more or it's one less . # The only time that that doesn't apply is if you are thinking in terms of posts in a fence around a square field or round a circular field . # Because now after one hundred metres you've got two posts after two hundred metres you've got three posts , after three hundred metres you got four posts , after four hundred metres you've got five posts but after you've five hundred metres you've only got five posts cos that one doubles up . # So you got one , two , three , four , five spaces and you got one , two , three , four , five , posts # but on a straight line your # spaces are one less than the number of posts . # Alright ? # So just remember that . # That's why I said you have been caught ! # That's a ste , one of those little trap questions . # Now this one , four hedges together have a mass of two hundred grams how many have a mass of two and ha ? # Which page ? # Eighty two . # Found that quickly didn't you ? # Er percentages is it ? # Right . # E one . # Have you looked at this ? # Let's have a look at it . # B's height is sixty percent of A side . # There's B and it's sixty percent of A C's height is a hundred and twenty percent of A's height . # There's a hundred percent so a hundred and twenty it means it's more than A's height . # If C's height was a hundred percent of A's height it means it was exactly the same . # If it's less than a hundred it's smaller if it's more than a hundred it's greater . # Now the decimal equivalent of hundred and twenty is one point two and there you've got nought and nought a hundred and one so ninety percent is point nine , eighty percent is point eight and a hundred and ten percent is one point one , and a hundred and twenty percent is one point two . # So what you're doing , in fact is to if you've got a hundred and twenty percent if you divide that by of a hundred in other words , you move your decimal point two places that's a decimal . # So a hundred and twenty percent as a decimal fraction is one point two . # All you do is to move that decimal point two places . # Alright ? # So to calculate a hundred and twenty percent of amount to calculate a hundred and twenty percent of an amount you multiply by one point two . # If you wanted to calculate eighty percent of an amount you would multiply by point eight . # A hundred and twenty percent you are multiplying by the decimal equivalent which is one point two . # So write down decimal equivalent of a hundred and forty percent . # That's right . # Now calculate a hundred and forty percent of seven point five kilogrammes . # Have you got a , you've got a calculator haven't you ? # Haven't got it with you ? # But you've got your own ? # Scientific one ? # No ? # You could do with one . # Alright ? # It's one of those things that you could do with really . # If you've got a birthday or something coming up and if somebody wants to know what to buy you that's what you want ! # You want one of these scientific ones . # So , you want a hundred and forty percent of seven point five . # Let's have a look . # What is it ? # A hundred and forty percent , so it's one point four times seven point five . # Try it . # Use that one . # Yes you use your finger . # One point four times # Ten point five , that's right . # Okay . # Ten point five killogrammes . # Right ! # Put it on the , on the er on that desk which probably will be better . # So , alright calculate a hundred and thirty percent of sixty seven pounds . # That's right ,a , what is that ? # Yeah , so it's eighty seven pounds ten isn't it ? # That's right . # Right , B a hundred and twenty percent off thirty two metres ? # No . # Start again . # Right , one point two metres times thirty two . # Yeah ? # What is it ? # That's right ! # Now , a hundred and eighty percent of seventy four metres ? # That's right . # Right ! # E three A . # What are the decimal equivalents of a hundred and sixty percent ? # That's right . # A hundred and sixty three percent ? # Yeah , point six three . # Good ! # You move that decimal point you see , in two places and it's one point three . # A hundred and six percent ? # That's right ! # One point nought six . # Again ,yo you , the figure staying the same , all you do is to move a decimal point two places . # So D is # One point three nine . # Alright . # And E ? # One point nine or one point nine , yes . # Right ! # A factory plans to increase it's output by fifty percent next year . # So if this stands for this year's output at a hundred percent fifty percent of it has to be added on to give next year's . # So there's your hundred percent and you add fifty percent . # So next year's output is to be a hundred and fifty percent of this year's . # Because you add fifty percent to the hundred percent and a hundred plus fifty is a hundred and fifty . # So the output is going to be a hundred and fifty percent of what is was last year . # The decimal equivalent of a hundred and fifty percent is one point five O or one point five . # Next year's output is to be one point five times this year's . # So you multiply this year's output by one point five and it'll give you next year's output . # Alright ? # You add on that fifty percent or whatever it happens to be to the hundred percent which gives you the new figure . # You change that into a decimal that is what you multiply by . # So , let's have a look . # If something is increased by fifty percent it is multiplied by one point five . # A new town plans to increase it's population by fifty percent during the next five years . # If the present population is eighty three percent calculate the planned population in five years time . # So what are you gonna multiply that by ? # Right ! # So it's eighty three thousand and what do you get ? # That's right . # One hundred and twenty four thousand five hundred . # Now , calculate the new populations when these populations are increased by fifty percent ? # Now , you can give the answer in this form you needn't write it out in full . # So , what you're gonna do is to multiply sixty four point eight by # one point five and that'll give you an answer which you will write down followed by the word million . # Alright ? # So , sixty four point eight multiplied by one point five # Right ! # Ninety seven point two . # Good ! # Now this one . # A fifty eight point eight million . # And C ? # That's right ! # Okay . # An airline is to increase all it's fares by seventeen percent . # Now this erm illustrates the increase . # There's your hundred percent it's got to go up by one point seven to a hundred and seventeen percent . # One hundred and seventeen is one point one seven . # So you multiply your hundred by one point one seven and you get one hundred and seventeen . # The new fare is one hundred and seventeen percent of the old fare . # The decimal equivalent of a hundred and seventeen percent is one point one seven . # Move two decimal yo decimal points down those two places , alright ? # So to get the new fare you multiply the old fare by one point one seven . # The old fare multiplied by one point one seven gives you the new fare . # That represents a seventeen percent increase . # So at three ,before the seventeen the percent increase the fare from London to Feraccas was five hundred and fifty pounds calculate the new fare after the increase . # Right ! # So that's six hundred and forty three pounds fifty pence # isn't it ? # Right ! # F four . # If you want to increase something by forty five percent what do you multiply it by ? # One if you're increasing it by forty five percent if it was a hundred percent and you increase it by forty five hundred percent # No . # A hundred percent plus forty five percent will be what ? # A hundred and forty # five percent . # Right ? # Now what's that of a decimal equivalent ? # Right ! # Alright ? # So , if you want to increase something by forty five percent what do you multiply it by ? # four five . # Think in terms of putting a one in front of that and then moving a decimal point two places and it's one point four five . # So okay , F four A is one point four five . # Alright ? # That's the first , that's your answer to that first question . # F four A was one point four five . # Now it says No ! # Just one point four five . # A hundred and forty five percent is one point four five , alright ? # So now it says increase twenty eighty pounds by forty five percent . # So you're gonna multiply the twenty eight by ? # Right ! # Forty point six . # One point six two . # Right ! # Good ! # That's right , one O eight point five four and it is in killogrammes . # That's right . # Right . # Right ! # So F six A . # If you want to increase something by seven percent what do you multiply it by ? # Sorry ? # Say it again . # Yeah , one point nought seven , that's right ! # So your ar answer to A is one point nought seven . # Good ! # So now you increase sixty five pounds by seven percent . # Sixty nine pound thirty five pence . # Right ! # Good ! # Okay , now F seven's gonna be the same . # Increase ninety two pounds by three percent . # That's right . # Nine pound four seventy six . # Good ! # Right . # That's right . # Good ! # Right ! # Alfred's salary is eighty thousand four hundred and twenty pounds and Alberta's is seven thousand a hundred and eighty four Alfred has a twenty two percent increase and Alberta a thirty eighty percent increase who earns more after all this ? # So what you've got to do is to put down Alfred's Alfred and put his new salary down and then you have to Alberta and her new salary and see which is which is the most . # So you're going to look for # Alright . # So # so right , eighty four two nought multiplied by # eight that's right . # So what's that , ten two seven two forty ? # Yeah . # Put a , put the forty down cos it's forty pence . # Right ! # Yep ! # That's good ! # Now , Alberta's . # Right ! # So , earns more afterwards ? # Right ! # So Alfred is the answer . # Right ! # Oh , we're coming to negative numbers . # Have we done negative numbers ? # No . # Right . # Positive , negative numbers can be marked on a number line which extends in both directions . # You can do some simple calc calculations by thinking of a number line , for example , two , minus two , plus five means start at minus two then go up five so you'll finish at three . # So minus two , plus five equals # plus three . # Right ? # Minus three , minus two means start at minus three then go down minus two , so minus three and minus two is minus five . # Alright ? # Now , before you right them down just tell me what they are and then we can go back and write them down . # Here you've got , minus four and plus three . # Good ! # Minus four and plus six ? # Plus two , right . # Yes , two , yeah okay . # So write them down cos yo you obviously can do those alright . # Minus one , yeah . # It's two . # Now two minus five ? # Minus three . # Minus one minus three ? # Right ! # Minus six plus two . # Right . # And three minus eight ? # Right ! # The number line method works when you have to add or subtract and ordinary positive number plus three means go up three , minus three means go down three . # But it does not tell you how to do four plus minus three or seven minus , minus three , for example but it does not tell you how to do four plus minus three , or seven minus minus three where you have to add or subtract a negative number . # Adding a negative number . # Think what happens if you start with four and add on different numbers . # Four plus three , as the number you add on goes down so the answer goes down . # Four plus three equals seven four plus two equals six , four plus one five , four plus nothing equals four , four plus minus one is three cos you're coming down here , three two , one , nought , minus one , minus two , minus three , minus four , minus five . # So as the numbers that you add on get one less so the answers get one less . # So , four plus minus one is three , four plus minus two is two , four plus minus three is one , four plus minus four is nothing , four plus minus five is minus one . # What is important is that you realise that that number is minus one that number is one plus one if you like but you don't need to say it but if th any , if the sign isn't there it's assumed that it's plus . # But that number and that number are two different numbers . # They're as different as one is from three . # That is a different number from that , that is a different number from that . # And that number is minus one . # Don't think of it as taking away one thinking of it , think of it as minus one , a number . # That is minus two that is minus three that is minus four , that is minus five . # You've done some algebra haven't you ? # Found out the value of X well you can X equals minus five . # And that is a value for X , it equals minus five and minus five is a number . # So , try and remember that , that that is a number in it's own right . # Now when you start thinking of what to do you've got plus four and you've got minus three if you take the smaller digit , now that digit is four , that digit is three if you take the smaller digit from the larger digit , you take the three from the four you get one and the answer is whatever sign that larger number is . # When you've got two numbers that are both , all pluses , four and two is six , four and one is five , four and nothing is four , four and minus one means you got plus four minus one , is one less than four , it's three . # You've got four plus numbers , you got two minus numbers which leaves you with two plus numbers . # Let's go on and see whether you can pick it up . # Write down the next two lines of a pattern of the bottom of the opposite page . # Notice that four plus minus one has the same answer as four minus one . # Four plus minus two has the same answer as four minus two and so on because the plus and minus gives you a minus . # So we've got four plus minus one is three , four plus minus two is two , four plus minus three is one , four plus minus four is nought , four plus minus five is minus one what's going to be the next one ? # Four plus # Equals ? # Right ! # So write that down in your book now safely . # A is A two , write down the next two lines . # So you got four plus minus six is minus two , then you'll have four plus minus seven is gonna be ? # Minus three . # Right ! # Okay ? # So let's go on . # Adding minus N is the same as subtracting N adding the minus number is the same as subtracting it . # So copy and complete these . # So write down A three A . # Five plus minus three equals five minus three equals ? # Two . # Right ! # Two plus minus six is the same as two minus six which is going to be ? # You got plus two minus six # Mm ? # You take the smaller digit from the larger digit so you take the two # from the six and it gives you four but then you give the sign of a larger # so it's minus four . # Alright ? # Now this is minus three plus minus four which is the same as minus three minus four . # Now you can , those are both the same sides so you're gonna en add them together and give it the sign that is common to both . # Minus ? # Three and four ? # So , alright ? # Minus seven , yeah ? # Happy ? # Right , so A four ,work these out . # Now if you can do them then just put the answer down . # Six plus minus three is the same as six plus and a minus give you a minus , so it's the same as six minus three which is ? # What's six minus three ? # Three ! # Right ! # You take the smaller digit from the larger digit , so you take three from six gives you three you give the sign of the bigger number which is a plus . # Now this time you've got two minus five . # You take the two , the smaller digit from the larger digit but you give the answer the sign of a larger digit . # So it's ? # Minus three ! # Alright ? # Yeah ? # Okay , you got minus one and a minus four . # No , you got a minus one and a minus four they're both the same signs , cos it's minus one , minus four they're both the same signs so you put them together four and one make ? # And you've got # minus , so they're minus five . # Let's just have a look at if we've got six and four we can have six plus four or you can have six minus four we can have minus six , minus four or you can have minus six plus four . # Now that's a plus six and a plus four what's the answer ? # Ten . # Nice and straightforward . # Both the signs are the same . # So you add them together and you give it the same sign . # This one what's the answer to that gonna be ? # You've got a minus six and a minus four . # Both the same signs . # Can't be the same as that . # They're both minus . # Those are both plus so we call it plus ten these are both minus so the answer is ? # Minus ten . # Alright ? # If the signs are the same you add them together , you give the ssssa the sign that they're both the same as . # Now , here you've got six minus four now what's six minus four ? # So that equals two . # Now here you got minus six plus four take the smaller from the larger and give it the sign of a larger . # Right ! # Does that help a little bit ? # Let's do another one . # Let's do erm eight plus three eight minus three minus eight , minus three , and minus eight plus three . # Let's see if we can do those . # What's eight and three ? # Right . # What's minus eight and minus three ? # No ! # Minus eight and minus three ? # Both the same signs . # Minus eleven . # Now this is easy , eight minus three is ? # Five . # But this is a minus eight # plus three , it's minus five . # Alright ? # Tear that out and keep that by your side because that gives you all the four possibilities . # Alright ? # When the signs are the same if they're two pluses you add them and it's plus if they're both minus you add them and it's minus here you take the smaller from the larger and give it the sign of a larger . # Three from eight is five , that's plus five . # Three from eight is five , but that is minus , so it's gonna be minus five . # Okay ? # So keep that by your side and see how we get on . # So we've what were we doing ? # A B D ! # This one here is it ? # Minus two plus minus five . # Which is minus two minus five . # Minus two plus the minus gives you a minus , so you got minus two , minus five . # Minus seven . # Right ! # Now here you've got nought and a plus minus gives you a minus , so it's nought a minus four ? # Right ! # Good ! # Three minus three ? # Three # minus three . # Nought , right ! # Minus five minus two ? # Minus and a minus . # Same as that one , look . # Minus two , minus five . # You got that one right . # What was that ? # Minus two and minus five . # Is minus seven . # Right ? # So here you got minus five , minus two which is ? # Minus seven . # Now here you got seven minus nine ? # Take the smaller from the larger which will give you ? # Seven # from two , nine is two and that number is a minus so the answer's going to be a minus , so it's gonna be ? # Minus two . # Alright ? # There we are , are you okay ? # Did you get any more ?

# You see , so I could erm # I could change the times on Monday a bit . # So erm but I # think i , we'll we'll we'll put the English back a week # and erm give Gavin and Lucy a miss on that Wednesday . # Because there's a special offer erm on erm there's a , there's a Forte Hotel in Woodbridge in Suffolk which is a nice hotel and they've got a special offer for erm five nights for the price of three ! # And that's erm # bed # full English breakfast and , and an evening meal ! # Erm so it's worth doing that we I , cos I was gonna go I was gonna go Thursday and just come back on the Monday but as it is now we'll go Wednesday and have Wednesday , Thursday , Friday , Saturday , Sunday night , so we'll come back on the Monday . # Erm then , you know we should be back without any problem by er quarter past four . # If we're not # I would give you a ring but erm # And it'll give us a chance to go and see my aged aunt . # We haven't seen her for about ten , twelve years and er # she's the last one of the family that's really still alive and she's well into her eighties and erm # I , you know I , I just loathe the thought of leaving it and leaving it until the next thing is you're going up for her funeral you know ?

# Near Arken where they cross the border that's about two hundred miles and then , you know , by the time they've gone through er er , they'll sort of be well down into erm sort of Stuttgart way I think that sort of area probably . # And there's service stations on the motorway you see where you can stop for breakfast . # And then erm they'll have a couple of hours or an hour break there probably and then erm # they'll journey on to ge er erm where's he going , Kittsbeile ?

# No ! # I don't know when we went on the coach to Mannock Farm Camp Site erm you know , and it's a long old haul ! # Yo you know sleep in the , you sort of have a night's sleeping in the coach while it's travelling but # it's , it's never the same you see . # It isn't until ah th , the only time we did have a smashing journey , we went with erm oh what's , what's the name of a local firm from Plymouth ? # No . # Traffens # We went with Traffens one year , the first year in fact we went with Traffens and that was super because when we got to the other side sort of , it was then about ten o'clock he said well if you if there's enough people want it we will transform your transform your seats into bunks and most people wanted and you were able to push the seats so one , two pairs of seats one of the seats went up and the other went down and you had four bunks # flat across two seats two pairs of seats . # And you , you know , you used , you used anything as a pillow that you'd got # erm and you were flat . # And I had a se , you know , I mean you you were aware that you were in a coach and you'd you'd wake up occasionally and realise you we , but by enlarge I had eight hours sleep ! # And it was super ! # And the fact that you lie down you you yo , you spread the weight you see # it's not all on your bottom or on # the sle lower part of your back yo # and you can turn over one way or you can turn over the other way . # And it was really , it was very good ! # But they haven't done that , you know , the next time we went they hadn't got that sort of seating arrangement . # I don't know why because that seems to me to be a first rate way of travelling , you know ! # I think it's super ! # Anyway i , d'you wanna use your hose I mean I'll put the car in the garage if you do . # Well I suppose I can leave mine out you might do mine as well ! # Cor ! # Yes , the morning before last , I mean it was so cold in the morning ! # There was such a heavy frost ! # Very warm . # Bring the bulbs on . # Bring the bulbs on . # Mm I like that one up ! # Yeah . # I expect to go higher really . # It's just on , it's just using its ha hanging on the existing one . # That isn't Felicity Kendal on the front there is it ?

# Gosh police who found nineteen thousand five hundred pounds at 's tool repair business in Newark yesterday # dug up the garden of his cottage home . # We believe it had been buried in tin cans and hidden in walls # all over the place , it could take months to trace and it is possible we will never find all of it . # Oh dear Ian Botham's dream of helping England to victory in his last world cup campaign took thrilling shape in Perth . # Botham inspired England to their nine run win over India with his enthusiasm , experience and will to win . # He was involved in everything , opening the innings , coming back as a runner for Graham Gooch , bowling a match winning spell , holding a vital catch and finally ending the game with a calm run out . # Beefy's presence in the England team was a huge bonus for Gooch . # The big fella is more keyed up than I've seen him for a long time and he is channelling all his energies into one final world cup fling . # Don't ask me how he manages it but there is still an aura about Botham that intimidates even the finest player . # Indian youngster handled England's other bowlers with ease , he looked in tremendous form but when Botham came on and bowled him a harmless straight one , somehow managed to edge it into his pads and nearly played on . # Not that Both would ever admit to bowling a straight one the ball he produced to finally get rid of was a gem and it turned the match away from India . # Mm # No . # Oh I see I thought , I don't know why , I thought there was two ,ta two sort of halves to this world cup but there's not # it's , it's just the one table . # Well no I mean they're each gonna play each other obviously but you see England , New Zealand and Sri Lanka and West Indies have all got two points from one game , Australia , India , Pakistan and Zimbabwe have all lost so they've got no points from one game , South Africa have still to play . # So I should think it's gonna be the top four that will go into a knock out competition or something like that at the end , you know ? # That's right . # Yes , well the twenty sixth was it ? # Well that's # Yes . # Now that's Wednesday you see so I knew we'd got to do it . # Yeah . # Oh yes it says this is the first world cup the new way of playing the qualifying rounds , this is the first world cup where every team has to play each other and it should mean the best sides make the semi-finals . # Under the old two group format it was very much down to luck as to who you were drawn with , the new system is much better , it allows for the odd hiccup , gives an extra dimension to every game and rewards those teams that perform on the day . # It also gives the smaller nations like Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe a crack at all the big boys . # So everybody plays everybody else once # and then it's the semi-finals so obviously I should think the top four clubs will go into the knock out . # Tope ?

# Well I reckon it's gonna take us three and a half hours to get to the other end , so two and a half hours to it and an hour on it if it's not too bad and then of course we've got to go up from there to Ipswich , Woodbridge but it's dual carriageway all the way now you see . # So I mean it's seventy miles so it should only take us another hour . # So perhaps four and a half hours , if we don't get held up on the M twenty five , four and a half hours would do so that , if we leave here at two , we could be there , you know , well by seven . # Quarter past five . # Com coming up to four . # Yeah . # Cold chicken . # Yeah . # Have you got erm John 's telephone number in your erm # It's not in the long book . # Oh yes oh no , you've got their address . # You haven't got their telephone number . # But I wonder if it's in the chr Christmas book . # I can ring up Directory Enquiries . # Yeah but you're still erm # Well you're charged for it from the erm a private call but you're not charged # not from a phone box . # That's right , yeah . # No I think I think we've got the interest your interest on my buil on the buil # Yeah # Oh that tax credit , yeah . # Oh yeah , could do that if you don't get , hear from the # I would have thought so , yeah . # Didn't you say somewhere in St Austell ?

# One thousand two hundred and fifty # kilometres from London to ? # Vienna . # Where's Vienna ? # No . # Venice is in Italy . # Vienna is the capital of Austria # and it's right across the other side of Austria from us . # Where you went skiing is this side of Austria , but Vienna is about two hundred and two hundred and fifty miles further on across Austria , very close to erm Czechoslovakia and erm Yugoslavia . # Right so it is twelve hundred and fifty kilometres from London to Vienna , can a Concorde do the trip in half an hour ? # How far does it go in an hour ? # Right . # So can it go twelve hundred and fifty kilometres in half an hour ? # How far can it go in half an hour ? # One thousand # one hundred # and fifty , right , so the answer is no it can only do eleven hundred and fifty kilometres in half an hour . # Right , average speed # Mhm ? # I don't think it's gonna be possible this week but perhaps in the Easter holidays erm # we'll be able to manage it . # King's Lynn . # Erm do you know where The Wash is ? # No if you think of a map of England erm the south coast is there , there's Dover , there's the estuary for London , London is here erm then it comes up like this , the east coast of London , the east coast of E England like that this is East , called East Anglia , here you've got Norfolk and Norwich and then you've got Ipswich here and then you've got Suffolk there and Essex , right ? # Can you remember that bulge in the map of England ? # Well that piece up there is called The Wash # and King's Lynn is close to the wash , King's Lynn is in this area here . # So from London to King's Lynn is , they say , a hundred miles and I'll take their word for it , London to Ipswich in fact is seventy miles . # But , yeah , that's about a hundred miles you see , that would be about right , yeah . # So that's where it is . # North of London . # Up by The Wash . # Right it is a hundred miles from King's Lynn to London , the train takes two hours to do the journey the train does not go at a constant speed , it speeds up sometimes and slows down at other times it also stops at stations on the way and on once of course as it , as it's stopping it's going more and more slowly and as it's er moving off again it starts slowly and starts to go quickly but because it takes two hours in all the train goes a hundred miles in two hours we say its average speed for the journey is fifty miles per hour . # It says if it was travelling at a constant speed of fifty miles an hour . # It doesn't , sometimes it goes more slowly sometimes it goes more quickly , sometimes it stops but because it takes two hours to do the hundred miles we say its average speed for the journey is fifty miles per hour . # Its real speed changes during the journey sometimes it is more than fifty miles per hour , sometimes less but in two hours it goes the same distance as it would if its speed was fifty miles per hour all the time . # So we say its average speed is fifty miles per hour . # There used to be a train called the Cheltenham Flyer there it is it went from Cheltenham to London a hundred and twenty miles in two hours do you know where Cheltenham is ? # Well if there is the south coast along here and Devo C Cornwall is there and Devon is here and you get the w the Bristol Channel going up here and then you c the coast coming down here and there's Wales is here right ? # Bristol is there , right ? # And if you go up from Bristol on from here you go up the motorway to Bristol and then you go along the M four to London well north of Bristol , up where the River Severn gets quite narrow and can be bridged is a city called Gloucester and Cheltenham is just inland from Gloucester . # So Cheltenham is about there , and it's about a hundred and twenty miles from Cheltenham to London . # Right ? # So there's Cheltenham . # Right so it went from Cheltenham to London , a hundred and twenty miles , in two hours , what was its average speed ? # Well if it , if it average speed is a hundred and twenty miles in two hours how far in fact would it go in one hour ? # So what was its average speed ? # Sixty miles per hour . # It wasn't its actual speed there will be sometimes it will be going very slowly , sometimes it will be going much more quickly but its average speed was sixty miles an hour because at sixty miles an hour it would cover a hundred and twenty miles , which was the distance , in two hours . # Right ? # No , none of them are really are they ? # Well this one's very small isn't it ? # Oh well you're gonna get on aren't you ? # Great , yeah , you're half way through . # Mm . # Right so that was C one , C two it is a hundred and fifty miles from Hereford to London by rail Hereford is north of Cheltenham , it's going up from Cheltenham is Hereford the first train in the morning takes three hours for the journey what's its average speed ? # Right # Well there might be time , we'll see how we get on . # Now it says B what did you do with th the numbers one hundred and fifty and three to get the answer ? # Right so you write that down , you divided a hundred and fifty by three . # Well at the present moment it's about , where he is it's about half past five , twenty to six , so he is probably waiting for his supper I should think his evening meal . # He won't be , he'll have finished skiing now . # It probably gets dark about the same time as it does here . # No it would probably be , you know , no it will be about this , be a little bit darker than this . # It gets dark , it'll be dark there before it is dark here # because it's further east so the sun is further away from them because the sun rises in the east so it gets light earlier that's why we put the clocks on when you go to Europe , one hour . # Well in America it's the other way , in America i i it is after us because they are further west than we are . # Mm , that's right . # Right C three # Yeah . # Land's End that's right , yes . # It's right down at the far south west . # It's it's more than a hundred miles from us . # It's about a hundred and thirty miles from us down to Penzance . # So you know we're about two hundred miles from London , so we're about , only about two thirds of the way from London to Penzance . # Yes . # Oh I don't know since they've done it all up , no probably not . # Is it ? # Mm # Does it . # Oh yeah ? # Working models ? # Mast ? # yeah . # Right ,Penzance is three hundred and five miles from London by rail the train leaves Penzance at five eighteen A M # and gets to London at ten eighteen AM . # Five hours . # And B what was the average time speed of the train ? # No . # Fives into three hundred and five . # Fives into thirty goes six # Sixty one . # Good . # Right C four from Carlisle to London is three hundred miles gracious me , you see if you've got a map of England , we haven't got it on here but if you imagine England going up here , Carlisle is right # now just think about it if you go out of your front door # and you turn left # and you go to a junction don't you ? # Now if you turn right at that junction # What ? # If you turn right at that junction , on which road do you go ? # Yes , which road is that ? # What's it called ? # You don't know ! # If you go out of your f well go out of the gate here and turn right # and go across Church Road don't go left down Decoy Road , keep straight on # past all the new houses that have been built , past the playing fields # and you don't know the name of that road ? # It is called Coach Road # and it is the er it's called Coach Road because that is the road that the coaches used to go along to Totnes # and from Totnes to Plymouth . # And it is the old Coach Road . # So a hundred and fifty years ago you would have the stagecoach going past here . # No . # No . # That house might well have been here that big house just there across th in there which has now been turned into flats . # Er I don't know when that was built , it might not have been built but it er it's Victorian so it could have been built like in eighteen thirty soon fa certainly soon after eighteen thirty that would have been built . # About nineteen sixty nineteen sixty six . # Well if they were built in sixty six , and I think they were , they are now , how old are they now ? # I said I think they were built in nineteen sixty six . # So how old are they ? # No ! # No ! # Nineteen sixty six , what are we now ? # Right , well how many years is that ? # Well ninety six it will be thirty years . # About twenty six years . # About twenty six years . # No . # No . # No . # I don't know ho certainly I know there had been at least two peo different lots of people living in ours before we moved in , and I would think there were probably more than that . # Cos we moved in in about nineteen I think we moved in in nineteen eighty nineteen eighty , nineteen eighty one we moved in . # Mm ? # Who ? # Your nan . # Gracious # Good lord . # Right come on me girl let's get on a little bit . # D , otherwise we're not gonna have time to go on the computer # D well yes we can because you can , you can finish it off at home can't you ? # Yes , right . # So D calculating journey times # Yeah # I don't know . # Is it what ? # I don't know erm Portsmouth more likely . # Yes . # Mm # Oh Portsmouth is here . # It's not marked but it's there is Portsmouth . # Are you ? # What Portsmouth ? # To , to , to Portsmouth ? # Well , three hours , three to four hours . # And then it's eight hours on the boat . # Oh do you ? # Good . # Don't mind them . # You've never been on a big boat ? # Have you not ? # Oh . # Oh that's gonna be quite an experience then isn't it ? # You haven't been to France then ? # Yes you have , you've flown of course . # Well you've been to Austria . # Yes but you've flown ? # You haven't done a , been on a boat ? # Mm . # Right . # A motor boat has a speed of four miles per hour this means it goes four miles in every hour # how many hours does it take to go from Lulworth to Bournemouth ? # No . # It's twenty four miles . # No . # What does it say it goes ? # Yeah but what is the speed of the boat ? # Right . # Right , six hours . # How long does it take , how many hours does it take to go from Swanage to Ventnor ? # Well it tells you how far it is , look # so you can , there's Swanage and there's Ventnor # That's on the Isle of Wight . # Yes . # No # No I don't think we landed at Cowes I think we landed over here further . # No , went on a hovercraft well wen went on the hovercraft and came back on a , a ferry on the boat . # Well it's a very specialized boat in a sense , I mean it goes on the surface of the water and it literally goes on the surface of the water , it's a hovercraft is a sort of a it's a vessel which has got a skirt all round it # Yes , heavy thick rubber skirt and that the engines do two things , they , they drive propellers in the air and they pump air from under the vessel onto the surface of the water and the skirt round the boat # keeps a cushion of air under the vessel so that really it hovers on top of the water and the air propellers drive it like an aeroplane # but it skims across the surface of the water and it's very quick , it only takes half an hour to go from Ramsgate to Dover . # Right er from Swanage to Ventnor is thirty two miles so how long would a motor boat take ? # Eight hours , right . # Has he ? # And how long would it take to go round the Isle of Wight , which is sixty miles round the Isle of Wight ? # Fifteen hours , right . # Right D two how long does it take to go from Ventnor to Swanage in a launch with a speed of eight miles per hour ? # Right . # Right , now you get the answer to D two by dividing the distance by the speed # thirty two's the distance divided by the speed which is eight , thirty two divided by eight is four this is the rule for working out a journey time distance in miles divided by speed in miles per hour gives you the time in hours . # Right . # You need a calculator . # How many hours does it take to go seven hundred and five miles at forty seven miles per hour ? # Right . # Beirut to # Eight hundred and # fifty # To be as exact as that # because the d not exactly four thousand miles and the speed is not exactly eight hundred and fifty kilometres per hour . # The nearest whole number to four point seven the wh nearest whole number to four point seven nought five double eight two three is five because to the nearest whole number you look at that four , it's either gonna be four or five depending upon what that number is # isn't it ? # If that's five or more then you pu increase that by one and make it five . # So the journey time is about five hours . # So D four work out these journey times to the nearest hour . # Bombay to Perth at about eight hundred and fifty kilometres an hour # Hours . # Eight hours , right . # Pardon ? # Two thousand two hundred , right . # Right . # London to Geneva # Geneva . # Right . # No it takes an hour and a half . # Good . # Right # Now this is quite important , you've got to think about this calculate as work in decimals . # But we usually think of time as hours and minutes and seconds too if we are being very exact . # This scale shows both minutes and decimals as an hour . # Thirty minutes half an hour , nought point five # right ? # Erm fifteen minutes nought point two five . # Forty five minutes three quarters of an hour , nought point seven five and all the different calculations in between fifty minutes is about nought point that's nought eight , that's nought nine so it'd be nought point eight one , two # three isn't it ? # Just over three . # Right ? # So it says this scale shows both minutes and decimals and now use the scale to change these to minutes . # Now what's point three of an hour in minutes ? # No nought point three's there look # now you want to read off the top of the scale for minutes . # That's ten minutes # that's twenty minutes that's fifteen minutes # what's each of those little divisions ? # Right so point three # Eighteen minutes , right . # B nought point seven five of an hour ? # Forty five minutes . # C nought point four three hours nought point four three # four # four three # That's right , well what's that ? # Si twenty six minutes . # And nought point nought five of an hour ? # Mhm in minutes . # Three minutes . # Then E , change these to decimals of an hour twenty four minutes # Nought point four . # Fifty one minutes ? # Nought point five , good . # Five minutes # Right . # And thirty five minutes . # Right . # Right well we'll just do this then you can have a go on the computer . # The distance from London to Weymouth is a hundred and forty three miles the train takes two hours forty two minutes for the journey # we can find the train's average speed like this change forty two minutes to a decimal of an hour what's that ? # Right . # From the scale above forty two minutes equals nought point seven hours # that means the journey time is two point seven hours , two hours forty two minutes is two point seven hours # divide the distance by the time hundred and forty three divided by two point seven equals fifty two point nine round off to the nearest whole number that would be ? # So the average speed is about fifty three miles per hour . # So do the first one here # D two , London to Bristol , a hundred and eighteen miles at one hour twenty seven minutes . # One point four five # So that's the average speed ? # What did you do wrong ? # Yes , but what did you divide by what ? # No you didn't # you divided one point # four five by a hundred and eighteen . # So what have you got to do ? # Right , divided by # One point four five . # What's that ? # Right miles per hour . # Now just for interest's sake do what you did before , divide # one point four five by one one eight , equals now # that's the wrong way , you've done it the wrong way haven't you ? # So push that button # It's the reciprocal button # and a half , one over two the reciprocal of a half if you turn it the other way round it's two over one # so it's two . # A half is point five # the reciprocal is gonna be two . # Right ? # A quarter # Oh haven't we ? # Oh finish that yeah , yeah # Yeah # Yeah # Yeah # Yeah # Have you got potatoes ? # What's that ? # The mat ? # Ha , I don't know I'll have one anyway , I'll see then when I , whether I can manage the other half afterwards or not , cos it looks enormous # They are , that's right # Oh is that so # Yeah # Mm # Mm , mm # No I haven't , I haven't , when you've had yours # Mm # Yes # Oh I heard the bell go # One of the little maps in the book shows the Isle of Wight with some towns round the Isle of Wight , and it said Poole so she said Poole , she said the boat sailed from out of France ? # So I said no Portsmouth oh she said that's right she said I'm going from Portsmouth # Oh I said , yes she said , I like going on a boat , she said not that I've been on one she said she's never been on a boat across # Oh , she's you know , when she's been to Austria of course she's flown # so she's erm , quite looking forward to that # No I didn't actually , but # No well having said that , if you're fool enough to sit on the side # Ah , mm , mm , mm # Oh yeah , you'd have to perch up on them , sit on them , you know # well I mean you know , you know what children are , you never know what they might do # Mm , mm # Well of course you never know I mean if they close Saint Gregory's # Mm , I wouldn't , but # Yeah # Is that what she said ?

# I think perhaps I'll just have a little bit of water I'm very thirsty , I know I haven't # That's right # Oh they are yes , for tomorrow or tonight # but erm # Cranks at Dartington # Yes , that's why I called you in for # Cranks at Dartington is going , they're going to keep it open while they try and find a buyer for it # er , mm the Cranks who have got six other outlets , erm have gone into , what do they call it , miners , administrative liquidation # erm apparently have expanded # vastly into the wholesale business and erm , so # Yeah # Yeah # Yeah , yeah # Good morning # Yes thanks # That's right , yeah # It is breezy yes it's surprising how breezy it is # Lovely , okay thanks a lot # Thank you bye # Fifty for one , Botham was out for eight # Yeah bit of a shame innit ? # Yeah # Yes # Smith is now in , he hasn't scored yet , fifty for one off thirteen overs # so providing they just play it steadily they should be alright , there's a lot of discrimination over the Australian defeat in the paper , they reckon that if erm # They reckon that if erm Australia lose another match it could mean that they won't even make the semi finals and erm they reckon like that , that channel nine that's supposed to be backing all this # well they think they'll pull the plug on it # and show re-runs of Neighbours instead , now can you think can you imagine anything worse than that ? # Oh dear , I thought that was funny yes cos there's been so much # in Australia , you know , I mean it was really a competition # just to show that Australia was gonna be champions again you know # Australia play India next then they play England , that'll be a match and a half I think # oh yes , yes # No I , well I'm gonna , yeah okay , but I mean she , well you're gonna be , you'll get up in a moment now won't you ? # Right , mm # Yes , I was # Perhaps he was going too easily you see , not playing his natural game , I mean it's , you never know do you ? # Yeah , yes # Right # Yeah # Mm , mm # Yeah , mm , now do you want to come up the town ?

# Did you ? # Good so let's see what you did , who did you go to the pictures with ? # Emma ? # So where did you go from here ? # Where it starts in the pen mm what was it ? # Right right , so let us see what we can do shall we ? # Erm where do we start ? # there yeah , # E two , now you've got to work out the average speed , right try and think roughly what the answer would be , because if you thought of that , then you would know that's a silly answer , cos look , how far is the journey ? # Right , well say , a nice , you know just to the nearest , to the nearest erm whole number # Right # A hundred and twenty seven , what's that to the nearest hour ? # Right , so if it goes say a hundred and twenty six miles or a hundred and twenty miles , to the nearest ten miles , it goes a hundred and twenty miles in two hours how far would it go in one hour ? # Right , sixty so that can't be right can it ? # Right , so how are you gonna find the average speed , what do you do to find that average speed ? # You divide what by what ? # Right , but , what are you gonna divide that by on a calculator ? # No , this is the whole thing isn't it ? # Don't you remember look if there were a hundred minutes in an hour that would be two point one two , but there's not a hundred minutes in an hour are there ? # How many minutes are there in an hour ? # Right , now look , it says there , so what's twelve minutes ? # Right , so what are you gonna divide that by to get the average speed ? # No # what's the time ? # Right , how do you write that as a decimal of an hour ? # What's two hours , twelve minutes ? # Look you've got two hours and you've got twelve minutes , now what fraction of an hour is twelve minutes ? # No , what , twelve minutes is what fraction of an hour ? # Right , so that equals the minutes is point two , how many hours ? # So two hours , twelve minutes is two point two # hours # Right , so to find the average speed what you gonna do ? # Right , but and what that by # divide , come on say again # That by , by what ? # Right # That's right right , well what about the next one ? # Well how many minutes is it ? # Where does fifty eight come ? # Does it ? # Right , there , so what are you gonna divide it by ? # That's nought point eight , nought point nine , nought point nine five , nought point nine # six and that's half way to it so that's nought point nine , six , five # Look , nought point nine , six , five and so you're gonna divide # you're gonna divide fifty point five by # Right right now D # That's right # Right right , now , the next one # So what is it ? # Right , two hours , thirty nine , right # Right # Right # Erm # Yes you can do # It's just afternoon , what time is noon ? # So that is just eighteen minutes after noon , so how long is it from nine , ten in the morning until , until eighteen minutes past twelve o'clock in midday ? # So how long is it # Right so Switzerland is three hours and eight minutes isn't it ? # And you had two hours , fifty two minutes , right , so which is the next one , this one ? # Now that's five , ten P M to eleven thirty eight P M , well what's five ten , to eleven ten ? # Six hours # and eighteen minutes , er wait a moment six hours and what ? # Ten , thirty eight # Right , so that is six hours and twenty eight minutes isn't it ? # Right , now what's the next one ? # Two fourteen to ten twenty , er this again is easier because what would be two fourteen to ten fourteen ? # Eight hours , so fourteen to twenty would be how many ? # Right , so it's eight hours six minutes now the next one # two fifty to ten twenty nine , well , come back to the same sort of time , the hour just before that , say two fifty to nine fifty , what would two fifty to nine fifty be ? # Right , now you've got to go from fifty to twenty nine # so fifty to an hour would be # Right thirty nine minutes , so it's # No seven hours isn't it ? # Two to nine , seven hours and thirty nine minutes isn't it ? # Right , now this next one ten A M to two thirty seven P M , well what's ten o'clock ? # Four hours and ? # Right and I think the next one you got right , because you worked it out alright , cos it's seven days , which is how many hours ? # That's right , which is ? # Well it's a hundred and sixty eight , seven times twenty four , but then you've got five hours to add onto it which makes it a hundred and seventy three , right , so now work out your average speeds . # Have you got the second one , didn't you get the second one , oh you got that one wrong ? # Right , so yes , do that one this is what this is Dublin to Cork ? # Dublin to Cork , it's two hundred and sixty six # What did you divide by ? # What ? # What's two point five hours ? # Well what's point five of an hour ? # What , what fraction is point five ? # Point five something , what fraction is that ? # Yeah point five # Right , what's half an hour ? # Right , so two point five is two hours , thirty minutes , but it's not two hours , thirty minutes , it's two hours # Right , so what have you got to do ? # You've got to change the minutes to a decimal # haven't you ? # Right # Right # Right , now what's the next one ? # Switzerland , right # Right # No # Right # but you're not gonna divide by nought , point , one , three are you ? # Right now what I shall do before you go any further is divide that at the side here , what those and minutes are as decimals of an hour # What was it erm six hours twenty eight minutes was it ? # Yeah # No , four , seven isn't it ? # Right # No , how long is it ? # Is it twenty seven ? # Which one we dealing with ? # Right , no it's not , look , it's ten o'clock to two thirty seven , what's that ? # How many minutes ? # Right , so it's four hours , thirty seven minutes isn't it ? # We want thirty seven # Right # Right # Eighty , you're not far out , but it's just erm # Madrid to Barcelona # six , eight , seven # Right just don't do it again # Is this the seven hours , thirty nine minutes ? # Seven hours # thirty nine minutes # five # Right , start again , eight hundred and , no it were doing # Right , so West Germany # Right # Right right , what you didn't do almost all the time was to change those minutes to decimals of an hour wasn't it ? # So you must remember that whenever you're dealing with speed or anything to do with hours and minutes you've got to change your minutes to the decimals of an hour before you can use your calculator . # Now , just let's have a little help here , because you won't have this graph with you all the time will you ? # Right , so , how can you find out what forty minutes is ? # No , what decimal fraction of an hour is forty minutes ? # How can you find out , you can use your calculator # No , what's , what's a quarter of an hour ? # Right , so three quarters of an hour is ? # Forty five minutes if you've got forty five minutes , what's , what's the fraction of an hour ? # Right , it's forty five over sixty , you want to change that into a decimal , what do you do ? # No , how do you change any fraction into a decimal , now this is something you must # No , no , no , no you've got fractions here look , erm now how do you change all those fractions into decimal fractions , what do you do ? # But how did you do it ? # You knew that , but how do you do it ? # How do you do it on a calculator ? # What does that really mean one over two , how else could you write one over two ? # How else could you write it ? # Yes , but I don't mean that , erm , could you , would you write it as one plus two or one minus two or one multiplied by two or one divided by two # One multiplied by two ? # Two ones are two ? # Does a half equal two ? # So what does that , you know this , which of those four rules do you do for that ? # What's one plus two ? # What's one minus two ? # one , minus two ? # One , minus two # Minus , one , come down two , come down one you get to nought , come down another one # so one minus one , one minus two is ? # Is minus one , what's one times two ? # What's one divided by two ? # If you've got one apple and you divide it # Right , one divided by two is a half , so which of those answers is that one ? # Right , so what does one , how else can you write one over two ? # One divided by two , right , remember that , so how can I write that ? # By ? # Right , do that on your calculator # Right , so that equals nought point seven five , what's a half ? # Do it on the calculator # Right what's three quarters divided er as a decimal ? # Right , so how do you change a fraction into a decimal ? # You divide the top number by the bottom number , so , supposing you've got fifty seven minutes and you want to change that into a decimal of an hour , what fraction of an hour is it ? # What's fifty seven minutes as a deci as a fraction of an hour ? # That's forty five minutes # Right , so how do you change that into a decimal ? # Right , nought , point , nine , five , so now you can see how easily you can change your minutes into a decimal at any time , right , now , let's look at some of these , this is four hours and thirty # seven minutes , so it's four hours , four hours and thirty seven minutes , so what fraction is that of an hour ? # Thirty seven minutes ? # Thirty seven minutes ? # Right thirty seven over sixty , what's thirty seven over sixty ? # Cos the ans that is four and thirty seven sixtieths # so what's thirty seven sixtieths as a decimal ? # Right , so what's four hours , thirty seven minutes ? # Point six # Well six # to the nearest two decimal places what's that gonna be ? # Nought , point , six # to do decimal places ? # Right , because that's bigger than five isn't it ? # So it's nought , point , six , two , so for our thirty seven minutes it's , four point six , two , there we are look , but the thing is you can now do it without having to look at a scale # Right ? # So do this one what is this ? # Eight hours and four minutes # So , so what's that gonna be , eight hours and four minutes ? # It's , it's eight hours # so it's gonna be eight not nought isn't it ? # It's gonna be eight point # Nought what ? # Nought one , what's that ? # Nought , six , six , so it's gonna be to two decimal places it's gonna be # Right , so it's gonna be eight point # eighty point , nought , seven right # So you now know how you can change your minutes to decimals # Right , now you may have to do that on this next one # I can see that # I know he does Have you heard from your brother ? # How is he ? # Does he and the snow good ? # And has he been up to the top of the # oh I see so what's today Thursday , he's only got today and tomorrow left hasn't he for skiing # That's right # Do you ?

# That's what I wanted to find out # You don't know what copse is ? # A copse is a smallish group of trees # Well there would be , yes , I would imagine or if they certainly would , they would of been in the past , they may have been cut down , but that would indicate to me that there were probably trees # at that corner , a group of trees # Copse Corner , copse er , is , is a name which we give to a small wood , a small group of trees is a copse , in India that can be called a shola , S H O L A # and at one stage when I was walking in India we used to stay at bungalows and one was called Marian Shola and another was called Pine Shola , because it meant that it was a , it was a bungalow in a group of pine trees # but copse is a small group of trees , right , so , the next one B # Chapel kerb # I should think almost certainly there was a chapel at that point # Oh they do indeed , yes # That's right # I wouldn't know that one # I hate to think what was in that corner too # Oh dear , right # You have a magic pencil # mm # To Copse # Yes , now remember that , what that means , west to east is in fact going eastwards # Where would it be travelling roughly southwards ?
