Worksheet on Simplification of Numerical Expressions

We will practice the questions given in the worksheet on simplification of numerical expressions. We know to simplify a numerical expression having two or more operations, we perform operation like: Division first, followed by Multiplication, Addition and then Subtraction.

1. Simplify the following numerical expression involving whole numbers:

(i) 12 + 4 - 8 ÷ 2 × 3

(ii) 7 - 5 + 14 ÷ 2 + 6

(iii) 37 - 6 × 4 + 32 ÷ 8

(iv) 64 - 48 ÷ 6 × 4 + 8

2. Simplify the following numerical expression involving fractional numbers:

(i) 3$\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{5}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{4}$ - $\frac{1}{2}$ × 2$\frac{1}{2}$

(ii) 4$\frac{1}{4}$ + 3$\frac{1}{8}$ ÷ 1$\frac{1}{4}$ - 1$\frac{1}{4}$

(iii) $\frac{5}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{3}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$ - $\frac{5}{4}$

3. Simplify the following numerical expressions involving decimal numbers:

(i) 0.2 + 1.3 - 0.4 × 1.5

(ii) 0.3 × 0.4 - 2.4 ÷ 6 + 1.2 × 4

(iii) 0.72 ÷ 1.2 + 3.5 × 4.2 - 1.6

(iv) 9.2 + 3.5 - 4.9 - 3.5 ÷ 0.7 × 1.2

(v) 5.01 × 1.2 - 2.4 ÷ 2

4. Simplify the following numerical expressions:

(i) 8{1 - {3 + (5 - 6 + 7)}}

(ii) 4$\frac{7}{8}$[3$\frac{1}{2}$ + {8$\frac{17}{24}$ - (1$\frac{1}{2}$ + 5$\frac{1}{2}$ + 1$\frac{1}{2}$)}]

(iii) 10 + [5 - {4 - 2(3 + $\frac{1}{2}$ - $\frac{1}{4}$) ÷ 5$\frac{1}{2}$}]

(iv) 0.8{0.75 ÷ (1.35 - 0.6)} - 0.8

(v) 1 - [0.3 - {0.5 - (0.2 - 0.7) - 0.1}]

(vi) 30 - [15 - {6$\frac{1}{2}$ - ($\frac{4}{3}$ - $\frac{1}{2}$)}]

(vii) 0.5 + {10.5 ÷ 0.5 + 6}

(viii) 7 - [6 - {5 - (4 - 3)}] ÷ 2

(ix) 2$\frac{1}{3}$ ÷ 4$\frac{2}{5}$ + 6$\frac{1}{2}$ ÷ 7 × 5
