Total weight of the fruits  = 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.

Cloth for shirt = 3 m 20 cm = 3.20 m       (we know that 1 m = 100 cm )
Cloth for  skirt = 2 m 5 cm= 2.05 m

Total cloth bought by Nasreen =
3.20 m
+ 2.05 m
= 5.25 m

Total cloth bought  = 5.25 m

#### 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?

#### Question 4:

Waheeda's school is at a distance of 5 km 350 m from her house. She travels 1 km 70 m on foot and the rest she travels by bus. How much distance does she travel by bus?

Distance travelled on foot = 1 km 70 m = 1.070 km (we know that 1 km = 1000 m)
Suppose distance travelled by bus = x km

Total distance of school from residence = 5 km 350 m = 5.350 km

So, 1.070 + x = 5.350
x= 5.350 - 1.070
x= 4.280 km

Therefore, distance travelled by bus = 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?

Therefore, balance returned by the shopkeeper
= Rs 50 - Rs 35.65
= Rs 14.35

#### Question 6:

Ruby bought a watermelon weighing 5 kg 200 g. Out of this she gave 2 kg 750 g to her neighbour. What is the weight of the watermelon left with Ruby?

Weight of the watermelon when bought = 5 kg 200 g = 5.200 kg (we know that 1 kg = 1000 g)
Weight of the watermelon given to the neighbour  = 2 kg 750 g= 2.750 kg

Therefore, weight of the watermelon left with Ruby = Weight of the watermelon when bought - weight of the watermelon given to the neighbour

= 5.200 kg - 2.750 kg
= 2.450 kg
So, weight of the watermelon left with Ruby = 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 Saturday?

Distance travelled on Saturday = 89.050 km
Distance travelled on Sunday = 73.9 km

Subtracting the distance travelled on Sunday from the distance travelled on Saturday
89.050 km - 73.9 km
= 15.15 km

Therefore, Victor drove 15.15 km more on Saturday.

#### Question 8:

Raju bought a book for Rs 35.65 and a pencil box for Rs 9.35. He gave Rs 50 to the shopkeeper. How much money did he get back from the shopkeeper?

Cost of a book = Rs 35.65
Cost of a pencil = Rs 9.35
Total cost = 35.65 + 9.35 = Rs 45.00
Amount that Raju gave to shopkeeper = Rs 50
Balance amount he would get = 50.00 $-$ 45.00 = Rs 5.

#### Question 9:

Gopal travelled 125.5 km by bus, 14.25 km by pony and the rest of distance of Kedarnath on foot. If he covered a total distance of 150 km, how much did he travel on foot?

Distance travelled by bus = 125.5 km
Distance travelled on pony = 14.25 km
Suppose the distance travelled on foot = x

Total distance = 150 km = Distance travelled by bus + distance travelled on pony + distance travelled on foot
150 km = 125.5 km + 14.25 km + x
150 km = 139.75 km + x
x = 150 km - 139.75 km
x=  10.25 km

Therefore, distance travelled on foot = 10.25 km

#### Question 10:

Tina had 20 m 5 cm long cloth. She cuts 4 m 50 cm length of cloth form this for making a curtain. How much cloth is left with her?

Length of cloth originally = 20 m 5 cm = 20.05 m (we know that 1 m = 100 cm)
Length of cloth cut for curtain = 4 m 50 cm = 4.50 m

Therefore, length of cloth left with Tina = Length of cloth originally - length of cloth cut for curtain
20.05 - 4.50
= 15.55 m

Length of cloth left with Tina = 15.55 m

#### Question 11:

Vineeta bought a book for Rs 18.80, 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?

Price of the book = Rs 18.90
Price of the pen = Rs 8.50
Price of the paper = Rs 5.05
Total price of the three items = Rs 18.90 + Rs 8.50 + Rs 5.05
= Rs 32.45
Total amount given to the shopkeeper = Rs 50
Therefore, balance received from the shopkeeper
= Total amount given to the shopkeeper - total price of the three items
= Rs 50 - Rs 32.45
= 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?

Distance travelled on Monday = 8.62 km
Distance travelled on Tuesday = 7.05 km
Suppose the distance travelled on Wednesday = x km

Total distance travelled in three days  = Distance travelled on (Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday)
21.01 = 8.62 + 7.05 + x
21.01 = 15.67 + x
x = 21.01 - 15.67 = 5.34

Therefore, Tanuj walked 5.34 km on Wednesday.

#### Question 3:

Write each of the following as decimals:

(i) $\frac{22}{10}$
(ii) $\frac{3}{2}$
(iii) $\frac{2}{5}$

(i) $\frac{22}{10}$
Since the denominator is ten, the decimal is 2.2.

(ii)  3/2
Making the denominator 10, we have
3/2

= $\frac{3×5}{2×5}$
= $\frac{15}{10}$
= 1.5

(iii)  2/5
Making the denominator 10, we have
2/5
= $\frac{2×2}{5×2}$
= $\frac{4}{10}$
= 0.4

#### Question 4:

Write each of the following as decimals:

(i) $40\frac{2}{5}$
(ii) $39\frac{2}{10}$
(iii) $4\frac{3}{5}$
(iv) $25\frac{1}{2}$

(i)
To write in decimal, we need to make the denominator 10 by multiplying it by a number. But, to maintain the value of the fraction, we should also multiply the numerator by the same number. Thus, we get

= 40 + $\frac{2×2}{5×2}$
= 40 + $\frac{4}{10}$
= 40.4

(ii)
Here, the denominator is 10.
Therefore, the decimal is 39.2.

(iii)
To write in decimal, we need to make the denominator 10 by multiplying it by a number. But, to maintain the value of the fraction, we should also multiply the numerator by the same number. Thus, we get

= 4 + $\frac{3×2}{5×2}$
= 4 + $\frac{6}{10}$
=4.6

(iv)  $25\frac{1}{2}$ = 25 + $\frac{1}{2}$
To write in decimal, we need to make the denominator 10 by multiplying it by a number. But, to maintain the value of the fraction, we should also multiply the numerator by the same number. Thus, we get

=
=
=25.5

#### Question 5:

Write the following decimal as fractions. Reduce the fractions to lowest form:

(i) 3.8
(ii) 21.2
(iii) 6.4
(iv) 1.0

(i) 3.8
= 3 + 8 tenths
= 3 + $\frac{8}{10}$
= $\frac{3×10}{10}$ + $\frac{8}{10}$ =

(ii)  21.2
= 21 + 2 tenths
= 21 + $\frac{2}{10}$ =

(iii) 6.4
= 6 + 4 tenths
= 6 + $\frac{4}{10}$
=

(iv)  1.0
Since the only number after the decimal is 0, the fraction is 1.

#### Question 7:

Between which two whole numbers on the number line are the given numbers? Which one is nearer the number?

(i) 0.8
(ii) 5.1
(iii) 2.6
(iv) 6.4
(v) 9.0
(vi) 4.9

(i) 0.8 is between the two whole numbers 0 and 1.
As 0.8 is 8 units from 0 and 2 units from 1, it is nearer to 1.
(ii) 5.1 is between the two whole number 5 and 6.
As 5.1 is 1 unit from 5 and 9 units from 6, it is nearer to 5.
(iii) 2.6 is between 2 and 3.
As 2.6 is 6 units from 2 and 4 units from 3, it is nearer to 3.
(iv) 6.4 is between 6 and 7.
As 6.4 is 4 units from 6 and 6 units from 7, it is nearer to 6.
(v) 9.0 is itself a whole number, that is, 9.
(vi) 4.9 is between 4 and 5.
As 4.9 is 9 units from 4 and 1 unit from 5, it is nearer to 5.

#### Question 8:

Write the decimal number represented by the points on the given number line: A,B,C,D.

A) 0.8, since A  is at the eighth place between 0 and 1

•
B) 1.3, since B is at the third place between 1 and 2

C) 1.9, since C is at the ninth place between 1 and 2

D) 2.6, since D is at the sixth place between 2 and 3

Disclaimer: The image given in the book is not consistent, as the number of periods between 0 and 1 is ten but the number of periods between 1 and 2 is seven. So, ignoring the position of the given numbers 1 , 2 and 3, it has been assumed that there are ten periods between every two consecutive numbers starting from the first point taken as zero.
