(iii) 1 or 0.7
(iv) 1.37 or 1.49
(v) 2.03 or 2.30
(vi) 0.8 or 0.88
Solution:
(i) Comparing the digits at tenths place, we have 5 > 0
ā“ 0.5 > 0.05
(ii) Comparing the digits at tenths place, we have 7 > 5
ā“ 0.7 > 0.5
(iii) Comparing the digits at ones place, we have 7 > 0
ā“ 7 > 0.7
(iv) Since, the digits at ones place are same.
ā“ Comparing the digits at tenths place, we have 3 < 4
ā“ 1.37 < 1.49 or 1.49 > 1.37
(v) Since the digits at ones place are same.
ā“ Comparing the digits at tenths place, we have 0 < 3
ā“ 2.03 < 2.30 or 2.30 > 2.03
(vi) 0.8 can be written as 0.80.
Now, digits at tenths place are same.
ā“ Comparing the digits at hundredths place, we have 0 < 8
ā“ 0.80 < 0.88 or 0.88 > 0.8
Question 2.
Express as rupees using decimals:
(i) 7 paise
(ii) 7 rupees 1 paise
(iii) 77 rupees 77 paise
(iv) 50 paise
(v) 235 paise
Solution:
We know that:
100 paise = ā¹ 1 ā 1 paise = ā¹ \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\)
(i) 7 paise = ā¹ 7 x = ā¹ \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\) = ā¹ 0.07
(ii) 7 rupees 7 paise = ā¹ 7 + ā¹ 0.07 = ā¹ 7.07
(iii) 77 rupees 77 paise= ā¹ 77 + 77 paise
= ā¹ 77 + ā¹ 77 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\)
= ā¹ 77 + ā¹ 0.77 = ā¹ 77.77
(iv) 50 paise = ā¹ 50 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\)
(v) 235 paise= 200 paise + 35 paise
= ā¹ 2 + ā¹ 35 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\) [āµ 200 paise = ā¹ 2]
= ā¹ 2 + ā¹ 0.35 = ā¹ 2.35
Relation between commonly used Measures:
Question 3.
(i) Express 5 cm in metre and kilometre
(ii) Express 35 mm in cm, m and km
Solution:
We know that 1 cm = 10 mm, 100 cm = 1 m, 1000 m = 1 km
(i) 5 cm = \(\frac { 5 }{ 100 }\) m = 0.05 m
5 cm = \(\frac { 5 }{ 100000 }\) km = 0.00005 km
(ii) 35 mm = \(\frac { 35 }{ 10 }\) cm = 3.5 cm
35 mm = \(\frac { 35 }{ 1000 }\)m = 0.035 m
35 mm = \(\frac { 35 }{ 100000 }\) km = 0.000035 km
Question 4.
Express in kg:
(i) 200 g
(ii) 3470 g
(iii) 4 kg 8 g
Solution:
We know that 1000 g = 1 kg
(i) 200 g = \(\frac { 200 }{ 1000 }\) kg
= \(\frac { 2 }{ 10 }\) kg
= 0.2 kg
(ii) 3470 g = \(\frac { 3470 }{ 1000 }\) kg
= 3.470 kg
(iii) 4 kg 8 g = 4 kg + \(\frac { 8 }{ 1000 }\) kg
= 4 kg + 0.008 kg = 4.008 kg
Question 5.
Write the following decimal numbers in the expanded form:
(i) 20.03
(ii) 2.03
(iii) 200.03
(iv) 2.034
Solution:
(i) 20.03 = 2 x 10 + 0 x 1 + 0 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\) + 3 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\)
= 2 x 10 + \(\frac { 3 }{ 100 }\)
(ii) 2.03 = 2 x 1 + 0 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\) + 3 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\)
= 2 x 1 + \(\frac { 3 }{ 100 }\)
(iii) 200.03 = 2 x 100 + 0 x 10 + 0 x 1 + 0 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\) + 3 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\)
= 2 x 100 + \(\frac { 3 }{ 100 }\)
(iv) 2.034 = 2 x 1 + 0 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\) + 3 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\) + 4 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\)
= 2 x 1 + \(\frac { 3 }{ 100 }\) + \(\frac { 4 }{ 1000 }\)
Question 6.
Write the place value of 2 in the following decimal numbers:
(i) 2.56
(ii) 21.37
(iii) 10.25
(iv) 9.42
(v) 63.352
Solution:
(i) In 2.56, the digit 2 is at the ones place.
ā“ Place value of 2 is 2 x 1, i.e. 2.
(ii) In 21.37, the digit 2 is at the tens place.
ā“ Place value of 2 is 2 x 10, i.e. 20.
(iii) In 10.25, the digit 2 is at the tenths place.
ā“ Place value of 2 is 2 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\), i.e. \(\frac { 2 }{ 10 }\).
(iv) In 9.42, the digit 2 is at the hundredths place.
ā“ The place value of 2 is 2 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\), i.e. \(\frac { 2 }{ 100 }\).
(v) In 63.352, the digit 2 is at the thousandths place.
ā“ The place value of 2 is 2 x \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\), i.e. \(\frac { 2 }{ 1000 }\).
Question 7.
Dinesh went A from place A to place B and from there to place C. A is 7.5 km from B and B is 12.7 km from C. Ayub went from place A to place D and from there to place C. D is 9.3 km from A and C is 11.8 km from D. Who travelled more and by how much?
Solution:
āµ Distance from A to B = 7.5 km
Distance from B to C = 12.7 km
ā“ Distance from A to C through B
= (7.5 + 12.7) km
= 20.2 km
ā“ Distance travelled by Dinesh = 20.2 km
Again, Distance from A to D = 9.3 km
Distance from D to C = 11.8 km
ā“ Distance from A to C through D
= (9.3 + 11.8) km = 21.1 km
ā“ Distance travelled by Ayub = 21.1 km
Since (21.1 – 20.2) km = 0.9 km or 900 m
or 900 m
ā“ Ayub travelled more distance by 900 m.
Question 8.
Shyama bought 5 kg 300 g apples and 3 kg 250 g mangoes. Sarala bought 4 kg 800 g oranges and 4 kg 150 g bananas. Who bought more fruits?
Solution:
Since, Shyama bought 5 kg 300 g apples and 3 kg 250 g mangoes,
Total fruits bought by Shyama
= 5 kg 300 g + 3 kg 250 g
= 8 kg 550 g
Since, Sarala bought 4 kg 800 g oranges and 4 kg 150 g bananas,
Total fruits bought by Sarala
= 4 kg 800 g + 4 kg 150 g = 8 kg 950 g
Since, 8 kg 950 g – 8 kg 550 g = 0 kg 400 g
or \(\frac { 400 }{ 1000 }\) kg = 0.4 kg.
Thus, Sarala bought more fruits by 0.4 kg.
Question 9.
How much less is 28 km than 42.6 km?
Solution:
Since 42.6 km – 28 km = 14.6 km
ā“ 28 km is less than 42.6 km by 14.6 km.
