(iii) 350 paisa
(iv) 2 rupees 60 paisa
 
Solution 1:

(i) 15 paisa
1 paisa = Rs. 1/100
15 paisa = 15/100
15 paisa = Rs. 0.15
Thus, 15 paisa = Rs. 0.15
 
(ii) 5 paisa
1 paisa = Rs. 1/100
5 paisa = 5/100
5 paisa = Rs 0.05
Thus, 5 paisa = Rs. 0.5
 
(iii) 350 paisa
100 paisa = Rs. 1
1 paisa = Rs. 1/100
350 paisa = 350/100
350 paisa = Rs 3.50
Thus, 350 paisa = Rs. 3.50
 
(iv) 2 rupees 60 paisa
1 paisa = Rs. 1/100
2 rupees 60 paisa = 2 + 60/100
2 rupees 60 paisa = Rs 2.60
Thus, 2 rupees 60 paisa = Rs. 2.60
 
Question 2: Express as metres (m) using decimals:
(i) 15 cm
(ii) 8 cm
(iii) 135 cm
(iv) 3 m 65 cm
 
Solution 2:
(i) 15 cm
1 cm = 1/100 m
15 cm = 15/100
15 cm = 0.15 m
Thus, 15 cm = 0.15m
 
(ii) 8 cm
1 cm = 1/100 m
8 cm = 8/100
8 cm = 0.08 m
Thus, 8 cm = 0.08m
 
(iii) 135 cm
1 cm = 1/100 m
135 cm = 135/100 
135 cm = 1.35 m
Thus, 135 cm = 1.35m
 
(iv) 3 m 65 cm
1 cm = 1/100 m
3 m 65 cm = 3 + 65/100
3 m 65 cm = 3.65 m
Thus, 3m 6cm = 3.65m
 
Question 3:   Express as centimetre (cm) using decimals:
(i) 5 mm
(ii) 60 mm
(iii) 175 mm
(iv) 4 cm 5 mm 
Solution 3:

(i) 5 mm
1 mm = 1/10cm
5 mm = 5/10
5 mm = 0.5 cm
Thus, 5mm = 0.5cm.
 
(ii) 60 mm
1 mm = 1/10cm
60 mm = 60/10
60 mm = 6 cm
Thus, 60mm = 6cm.
 
(iii) 175 mm
1 mm = 1/10cm
175 mm = 175/10
175 mm = 17.5 cm
Thus, 175mm = 17.5cm.
 
(iv) 4 cm 5 mm
1 mm = 1/10cm
4 cm 5 mm = 4 + 5/10
4 cm 5 mm = 4.5 cm

(i) 5 m
(ii) 55 m
(iii) 555 m
(iv) 5555 m
(v) 15 km 35 m
 
Solution 4:
(i) 5 m
1 m = 1/1000 km
5 m = 5/1000 km
5 m = 0.005 km
Thus, 5m = 0.005 km
 
(ii) 55 m
1 m = 1/1000 km
55 m = 55/1000  km
55 m = 0.055 km
Thus, 55m = 0.055 km
 
(iii) 555 m
1 m = 1/1000 km
555 m = 555/1000 km
555 m = 0.555 km
Thus, 555m = 0.555 km
 
(iv) 5555 m
1 m = 1/1000 km
5555 m = 555/1000 km
5555 m = 5.555 km
Thus, 5555 m = 5.555 km
 
(v) 15 km 35 m
1 m = 1/1000 km
15 km + 35 m = 15 35/1000km
15 km 35 m = 15.035 km
Thus, 15 km 35m = 15.035 km
 
Question 5:  Express as kilogram (kg) using decimals:
(i) 8 g
(ii) 150 g
(iii) 2750 g
(iv) 5 kg 750 g
(v) 36 kg 50 g
 
Solution 5:
(i) 8 g
1 g = 1/1000 kg
8 g = 8/1000kg
8 g = 0.008 kg
Thus, 8 g = 0.008 kg
 
(ii) 150 g
1 g = 1/1000 kg
150 g = 150/1000
150 g = 0.150 kg
Thus, 150 g = 0.150 kg
 
(iii) 2750 g
1 g = 1/1000 kg
2750 g = 2750/1000
2750 g = 2.750 kg
Thus, 2750 g = 2.750 kg
 
(iv) 5 kg 750 g
1 g = 1/1000 kg
5 kg + 750 g = 5 + 750/1000
5 kg 750 g = 5.750 kg
Thus, 5kg 750 g = 5.750 kg
 
(v) 36 kg 50 g
1 g = 1/1000 kg
36 kg + 50 g = 36 + 50/1000
36 kg 50 g = 36.050 kg
Thus, 36 kg 50 g = 36.050 kg
 
 
Question 6:  Express each of the following without using decimals:
(i) Rs. 5.25
(ii) 8.354 kg

(iv) 3.05 km
(v) 7.54 m
(vi) 15.005 kg
(vii) 12.05 m
(viii) 0.2 cm
 
Solution 6:
(i) Rs 5.25
1 paisa = Rs. 1/100
Rs 5.25 = 5 + 25/100
Rs 5.25 = Rs. 5 + 1/4
By taking LCM of Denominator we get
Rs 5.25 = Rs. (20 + 1)/4 
= Rs. 21/4
Thus, the non-decimal form of Rs. 5.25 is Rs. 21/4
 
(ii) 8.354 kg
1 g = 1/1000 kg
8.354 kg = 8 + 354/1000 kg
By taking LCM of Denominator we get
8.354 kg = (8000 + 354)/1000 kg
8.354 kg = 8354/1000 kg
=8354/1000 kg 
Thus, the non-decimal form of 8.354 kg is 8354/1000  kg 
 
(iii) 3.5 cm
1 mm = 1/10 cm
3.5 kg = 3 + 5/10 cm
By taking LCM of Denominator we get
3.5 kg = (30 + 5)/10 cm
8.354 kg = 35/10 cm
=35/10 cm 
=7/2 cm 
Thus, the non-decimal form of 3.5cm is 7/2 cm
 
(iv) 3.05 km
1 m = 1/1000 km
3.05 m = 3 + 5/1000 km
By taking LCM of Denominator we get
3.05 m = (3000 + 5)/1000 km
3.5 kg = 3005/1000 km
=3005/1000 km 
=601/200 m 
Thus, the non-decimal form of 3.05km is 601/200 m
 
(v) 7.54 m
1 cm = 1/100 m
7.54 m = 7 + 54/100 m
By taking LCM of Denominator we get
7.54 m = (700 + 54)/100 m
7.54 m = 754/100 m
=754/100  m 
=377/50 m 
Thus, the non-decimal form of 7.54m is 377/50 m
 
(vi) 15.005 kg
1 g = 1/1000 kg
15.005 g = 15 + 5/1000 kg
By taking LCM of Denominator we get
15.005 g = (15000 + 5)/1000 kg
15.005 g = 15005/1000 kg
=15005/1000  kg 
=3001/200 kg 
Thus, the non-decimal form of 15.005 kg is 3001/200 kg
 
(vii) 12.05 m
1 cm = 1/100 m
12.05 cm = 12 + 5/100 m
By taking LCM of Denominator we get
12.05 cm = (1200 + 5)/100  m
12.05 cm = 1205/100  m
=1205/100  m 
=241/20 m 
Thus, the non-decimal form of 12.05m is 241/20 m
 
(viii) 0.2 cm
1 mm = 1/10 cm
0.2 mm = 0 + 2/10 cm
By taking LCM of Denominator we get
0.2 mm = (0 + 2)/10  cm
0.2 cm = 2/10  cm
=2/10  cm 
=1/5  cm

Question 4:  Radhika’s mother gave her Rs. 10.50 and her father gave her Rs. 15.80, find the total amount given to Radhika by her parents. 

Solution 4:

Radhika’s mother gave her = Rs 10.50

Radhika’s father gave her = Rs 15.80

Total amount given by her parents = Rs 10.50 + Rs 15.80 = Rs 26.30

Thus, the total amount given by her parents is Rs 26.30.

 

Question 5:  Rahul bought 4 kg 90 g apples, 2 kg 60 g of grapes and 5 kg 300 g of mangoes. Find the weight of the fruits he bought in all. 

Solution 5:

Apple’s weight bought by Rahul = 4 kg 90 g = 4.090 kg

Grapes weight bought by Rahul = 2 kg 60 g = 2.060 kg

Mangoes weight bought by Rahul = 5 kg 300 g = 5.300 kg

The weight of all the fruits = 4.090 + 2.060 + 5.300 = 11.450 kg

Hence, the total weight of the fruits is 11.450 kg.

 

Question 6:  Nasreen bought 3 m 20 cm cloth for her shirt and 2 m 5 cm cloth for skirt. Find the total cloth bought by her. 

Solution 6:

Cloth bought for shirt = 3 m 20 cm = 3.20 m

Cloth bought for skirt = 2 m 50 cm = 2.05 m

Total cloth bought by her = 3.20 + 2.05 = 5.25 m = 5 m 25 cm

Thus, the total cloth bought by Nasreen is 5 m 25 cm.

 

Question 7:  Sunita travels 15 km 268 m by bus, 7 km 7 m by car and 500 m by foot in order to reach her school. How far is her school from her residence?

Let the distance travelled by bus is x
Total Distance of school from house = 5 km 350 m = 5.350 km
Total Distance travelled by foot = 1 km 70 m = 1.070 km
1.070 + x = 5.350 
x = 5.350 – 1.070 
x = 4.280km 
Thus, the distance travelled by bus is 4.280 km.
 

Question 5:  Raju bought a book for Rs 35.65. He gave Rs 50 to the shopkeeper. How much money did he get back from the shopkeeper?

Watermelon weight Ruby gave to neighbour is = 2 kg 750 g = 2.750 kg

Weight of watermelon left with Ruby = 5.200 – 2.750 = 2.450 kg

Thus, the weight of watermelon left with Ruby is 2.450 kg.

 

Question 7:  Victor drove 89.050 km on Saturday and 73.9 km on Sunday. How many kilometres more did he drive on Sunday? 

Solution 7:

The balance amount retuned by shopkeeper = 50 – 35.65 = Rs 14.35
Thus, the balance amount retuned by shopkeeper is Rs 14.35.
 
Question 9:  Gopal travelled 125.5 km by bus, 14.25 km by pony and the rest of distance to Kedarnath on foot. If he covered a total distance of 150 km, how much did he travel on foot?
 
Solution 9:
Let Distance travelled by Gopal by foot x
Total Distance travelled by Gopal = 150 km
Distance travelled by Gopal by bus = 125.5 km
Distance travelled by Gopal by pony = 14.25km
150 = 125.5 + 14.25 + x
x = 150 – 125.5 – 14.25
x = 10.25 km
Thus, Distance travelled by Gopal on foot is 10.25 km.
 
Question 10:  Tina had 20 m 5 cm long cloth. She cuts 4 m 50 cm length of cloth from this for making a curtain. How much cloth is left with her?
 
Solution 10:
Tina had cloth = 20 m 5 cm = 20.05 m
Cloth cut to make curtain = 4m 50 cm = 4.50 m
Cloth left with her = 20.05 – 4.50 = 15.55 m
Thus, the length of cloth left with Tina is 15.55 m.
 
Question 11:   Vineeta bought a book for Rs 18.90, a pen for Rs 8.50 and some papers for Rs 5.05. She gave fifty rupee to the shopkeeper. How much balance did she get back?

Cost of a book = Rs 18.90
Cost of a pen = Rs 8.50
Cost of a papers = Rs 5.05
Total cost = 18.90 + 8.50 + 5.05 = Rs 32.45
Amount give to shopkeeper = Rs 50
The remaining amount returned = 50 – 32.45 = Rs 17.55
Thus, the shopkeeper returned back Rs 17.55.
 
Question 12:  Tanuj walked 8.62 km on Monday, 7.05 km on Tuesday and some distance on Wednesday. If he walked 21.01 km in three days, how much distance did he walk on Wednesday?
 
Solution 12:
Let the walked by Tanuj on Wednesday be x 
Total distance walked by Tanuj in three days = 21.01 km 
Distance walked by Tanuj on Monday = 8.62 km
Distance walked by Tanuj on Tuesday = 7.05 km
21.01 = 8.62 + 7.05 + x
21.01 = 15.67 + 7.05 + x
21.01 – 15.67=x
5.34 km=x
Thus, the distance walked by Tanuj on Wednesday is 5.34 km.

0.35 – 0.035 
= 0.315
 
Question 20:  2.5 + 3.05 − 4.005 is equal to
(a) 1.545
(b) 1.455
(c) 1.554
(d) 0.545
 
Solution 20: (a) 
2.5 + 3.05 − 4.005 
= 5.55 − 4.005 
= 1.545
 
Question 21:  Which is greater among 2.3, 2.03, 2.33, 2.05?
(a) 2.3
(b) 2.03
(c) 2.33
(d) 2.05
 
Solution 21: (c) 
When comparing we get 
In 2.33 after decimals have greater number
Hence, 2.33 is greater among all given decimals.
