Question

Express the following as rupees using decimals $235$ paise.
Rs. $2.35$
(a) True
(b) False

Answer 1

Hint: In this question we have to convert paise into rupees in decimal form.
 To solve such type of question we need to use the relation of paise and rupee which is
$100$ paise $ = 1$ rupee we will use this relation and convert paise into rupees and then conclude the result . to convert paise into rupees we divide the number by 100.

Complete step by step solution:
We are given \[235paise\]
As we know that $100$ paisa contains $ = 1$ rupee
Therefore, by using the above relation we can easily convert paisa into rupees.
And for finding out result we need to divide \[235paise\] by $100$ to get the result in rupees
If $100paise$ = $1rupee$
Then we have one paise = $\dfrac{1}{{100}}rupee$
Therefore $235$ paisa $ = 235 \times \dfrac{1}{{100}}rupee$
 So we have $\dfrac{{235}}{{100}}$ rupees
Placing the decimals we get Rs.$2.35$
So we can conclude that \[235paise\] is equal to Rs.$2.35$

So, the correct answer is “Option a”.

Note: While doing conversion problems one should always be clear with conversion factor.
There are different conversions of units of length such as $1m = 100cm$ and $1km = 1000m$.
Similarly there is a conversion of the unit of time$1\min ute = 60\sec onds$.
Whenever we convert a smaller unit into a bigger unit we do division and when we do conversion of bigger units then we apply multiplication.
