(i) $ \text{7}\,\text{paise}$ 

Ans: Expressing the term as rupees,

$ \text{7}\,\text{paise=Re}\text{.}\dfrac{\text{7}}{\text{100}}\text{=Re}\text{.0}\text{.07}$ 


(ii) $ \text{7 rupees 7 paise}$ 

Ans: Expressing the term as rupees,$ \text{7}\,\text{rupees}\,\,\text{7}\,\,\text{paise=Rs}\text{.7+Re}\text{.}\dfrac{\text{7}}{\text{100}}\text{=Rs}\text{.7+Rs}\text{.0}\text{.07=Rs}\text{.7}\text{.07}$ 


(iii) $ \text{77 rupees 77 paise}$ 

Ans: Expressing the term as rupees,$ \text{77}\,\text{rupees}\,\,\text{77}\,\,\text{paise=Rs}\text{.77+Re}\text{.}\dfrac{\text{77}}{\text{100}}\text{=Rs}\text{.77+Rs}\text{.0}\text{.77=Rs}\text{.77}\text{.77}$

3. Find

(i) Express $ \text{5}$ cm in metre and kilometer.

Ans: Expressing $ 5$ cm in meter and kilometer,

$ \because \,\,\text{100}\,\text{cm=1}\,\text{meter}$ 

$ \therefore \,\,\text{1}\,\text{cm=}\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{100}}\,\text{meter}\Rightarrow \text{5}\,\text{cm=}\dfrac{\text{5}}{\text{100}}\text{=0}\text{.05}\,\text{meter}$ 

And, $ \because \,\,\text{1000}\,\text{meters=1}\,\text{kilometers}$ 

$ \therefore \,\,\text{1}\,\text{meter=}\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{1000}}\,\text{kilometers}$ $ \Rightarrow \text{0}\text{.05}\,\text{meter=}\dfrac{\text{0}\text{.05}}{\text{1000}}\text{=0}\text{.00005}\,\,\text{kilometer}$ 


(ii) Express $ \text{35}$ mm in cm, m and km.

Ans: Expressing $ 35$ mm in cm, m and km.

$ \because \,\,\text{10}\,\text{mm=1}\,\text{cm}$ 

$ \therefore \,\,\text{1}\,\text{mm=}\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{10}}\,\text{cm}\Rightarrow \text{35}\,\text{mm=}\dfrac{\text{35}}{\text{10}}\text{=3}\text{.5}\,\text{cm}$ 

And, $ \because \,\,\text{100}\,\text{cm=1}\,\text{meter}$ 

$ \therefore \,\,\,\text{1}\,\text{cm=}\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{100}}\,\text{meter}\Rightarrow \text{3}\text{.5}\,\text{cm=}\dfrac{\text{3}\text{.5}}{\text{100}}\text{=0}\text{.035}\,\text{meter}$ 

Also, $ \because \,\,\text{1000}\,\text{meters=1}\,\text{kilometers}$ 

$ \therefore \,\,\text{1}\,\text{meter=}\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{1000}}\,\text{kilometer}$ $ \Rightarrow \,\,\text{0}\text{.035}\,\text{meter=}\dfrac{\text{0}\text{.035}}{\text{1000}}\text{=0}\text{.000035}\,\text{kilometer}$ 


4. Express in kg:

(i) $ \text{200}\,\text{g}$

Ans: Converting from grams to kilograms,

$ \text{200}\,\text{g=}\left( \text{200 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{1000}} \right)\,\text{kg=0}\text{.2}\,\text{kg}$ 


(ii) $ \text{3470}\,\text{g}$ 

Ans: Converting from grams to kilograms,

$ 3470\,\text{g=}\left( \text{3470 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{1000}} \right)\,\text{kg=3}\text{.470}\,\text{kg}$ 


(iii) $ \text{4}\,\text{kg}\,\text{8}\,\text{g}$ 

Ans: Converting from grams to kilograms,$ \text{4}\,\text{kg}\,\text{8}\,\text{g=4}\,\text{kg}\,\text{+}\left( \text{8 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\dfrac{\text{1}}{\text{1000}} \right)\,\text{kg=4}\,\text{kg+0}\text{.008}\,\text{kg=4}\text{.008}\,\text{kg}$ 


5. Write the following decimal numbers in the expanded form:

(i) $ \text{20}\text{.03}$ 

Ans: Converting the decimal number in expanded form, 

$ 20.03=2\times 10+0\times 1+0\times \dfrac{1}{10}+3\times \dfrac{1}{100}$ 


(ii) $ \text{2}\text{.03}$ 

Ans: Converting the decimal number in expanded form, $ 2.03=2\times 1+0\times \dfrac{1}{10}+3\times \dfrac{1}{100}$ 


(iii) $ \text{200}\text{.03}$ 

Ans: Converting the decimal number in expanded form, $ 200.03=2\times 100+0\times 10+0\times 1+0\times \dfrac{1}{10}+3\times \dfrac{1}{100}$ 


(iv) $ \text{2}\text{.034}$ 

Ans: Converting the decimal number in expanded form, $ 2.034=2\times 1+0\times \dfrac{1}{10}+3\times \dfrac{1}{100}+4\times \dfrac{1}{1000}$

(v) $ \text{63}\text{.352}$ 

Ans: The place value of $ 2$ in $ 63.352=2\times \dfrac{1}{1000}=2$ thousandth. 


7. Dinesh went from place$ \text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ A}$ to place $ \text{B}$ and from there to place$ \text{C}$ . 

$ \text{A}$ is $ \text{7}\text{.5}$ km from $ \text{B}$ and $ \text{B}$ is $ \text{12}\text{.7}$ km from$ \text{C}$ . Ayub went from place $ \text{A}$ to place $ \text{D}$ and from there to place$ \text{C}$ . $ \text{D}$ is $ \text{9}\text{.3}$ km from $ \text{A}$ and $ \text{C}$ is $ \text{11}\text{.8}$ km from$ \text{D}$ . Who travelled more and by how much?

 

Path ABCD


Ans: Given: The distance travelled by Dinesh when he went from place $ \text{A}$ to place $ \text{B = 7}\text{.5 km}$ and from place$ \text{B to C = 12}\text{.7 km}$ 


Distance travelled by Dinesh on path ABCD


According to the figure,

The total distance covered by Dinesh $ \text{= AB + BC }$ 

Substituting the values,

$ \text{=7}\text{.5 + 12}\text{.7 = 20}\text{.2 km}$ 

The total distance covered by Ayub $ \text{= AD + DC }$ 

Substituting the values, 

$ \text{=9}\text{.3 + 11}\text{.8 = 21}\text{.1 km}$ 

Comparing the total distance covered by Ayub and Dinesh, 

$ \text{21}\text{.1 km 20}\text{.2 km}$ 

Hence, Ayub covered $ \text{21}\text{.1 -- 20}\text{.2 = 0}\text{.9 km = 900m}$ more distance as compared to Dinesh. 


8. Shyam bought $ \text{5 kg 300 g}$ apples and $ \text{3 kg 250 g}$ mangoes. Sarala bought $ \text{4 kg 800 g}$ oranges and $ \text{4 kg 150 g}$ bananas. Who bought more fruits?

Ans: Given: 

The total weight of fruits bought by Shyam$ \text{ = 5 kg 300 g + 3 kg 250 g = 8 kg 550 g}$ 

And the total weight of fruits bought by Sarala$ \text{= 4 kg 800 g + 4 kg 150 g = 8 kg 950 g}$ 

Comparing the quantity of fruits bought by Shyam and Sarala, $ \text{8}\,\text{kg}\,\text{550}\,\text{g8}\,\text{kg}\,\text{950}\,\text{g}$ 

Observe that quantity of fruits bought by Sarala is greater.

Hence, Sarala bought more fruits than Shyam.


9. How much less is $ \text{28 km}$ then $ \text{42}\text{.6 km}$ ?

Ans: Given: The two distances are $ \text{42}\text{.6}\,\text{km}\,\text{and}\,\text{28}\,\text{km}$ 

Finding the difference of $ \text{42}\text{.6}\,\text{km}\,\text{and}\,\text{28}\,\text{km}$ ,

$ \text{42}\text{.6-28}\text{.0=14}\text{.6}\,\text{km}$ 

Hence, $ \text{14}\text{.6}\,\text{km}$ less is $ \text{28}\,\text{km}$ then $ \text{42}\text{.6}\,\text{km}$ .
