Mathematics may be thought of as a set of tools. The aviation mechanic needs these tools to successfully complete the maintenance, repair, installation, or certification of aircraft equipment. Many examples of using mathematical principles by the aviation mechanic are available ... inch. Because of these close tolerances, it is important that the aviation mechanic can make accurate measurements and mathematical calculations. An aviation mechanic working on aircraft fuel systems also uses mathematical principles to calculate volumes and capacities of fuel tanks…

Treat fractions as division. Completing the multiplication and division in the equation gives the following: 4. Addition and Subtraction. Evaluate the additions and subtractions from left to right. Like above, addition and subtraction are computed left to right ... step. Completing the addition and subtraction in the equation gives the following: A commonly used acronym, PEMDAS, is used for remembering the order of operation in algebra. PEMDAS is an acronym for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction…
- Chapter 3: Mathematics in Aviation Maintenance › Whole Numbers › Subtraction of Whole Numbers
Subtraction of Whole Numbers Subtraction is the process where the value of one number is taken from the value of another. The result is called the difference. When subtracting two whole numbers, such as 3,461 from 97,564, align ... them into columns according to place value and then subtract. The difference of the two whole numbers is 94,103. Multiplication of Whole Numbers Multiplication is the process of repeated addition. For example, 4 × 3 is the same…
