       ∴ $\frac{11.04}{1.6} = \frac{110.4}{16} = 6.9$

(ix)  6.612 ÷ 11.6 = $\frac{6.612}{11.6} = \frac{6.612 \times 10}{11.6 \times 10} = \frac{66.12}{116}$
Now, we have:

       ∴ $\frac{6.612}{11.6} = \frac{66.12}{116} = 0.57$

(x) 0.076 ÷ 0.19 = $\frac{0.076}{0.19} = \frac{0.076 \times 100}{0.19 \times 100} = \frac{7.6}{19}$
Now, we have:

    ∴ $\frac{0.076}{0.19} = \frac{7.6}{19} = 0.4$

(xi) 48 ÷ 0.074

$= \frac{148}{0.074} = \frac{148 \times 1000}{0.074 \times 1000} = \frac{148000}{74} = 2 \times 1000 = 2000$

(xii)  16.578 ÷ 5.4 = $\frac{16.578}{5.4} = \frac{16.578 \times 10}{5.4 \times 10} = \frac{165.78}{54}$
Now, we have:


        ∴ $\frac{16.578}{5.4} = \frac{165.78}{54} = 3.07$

(xiii)  28 ÷ 0.56

$= \frac{28}{0.56} = \frac{28 \times 100}{0.56 \times 100} = \frac{2800}{56} = \frac{1 \times 100}{2} = 50$

Question 10:

A car covers a distance of 22.8 km in 2.4 litres of petrol. How much distance will it cover in 1 litre of petrol?

Answer:

Distance covered by the car with 2.4 litres of petrol = 22.8 km
∴ Distance covered with 1 litre of petrol = $(\frac{22.8}{2.4})$ km
= $(\frac{228}{24})$ km = $(\frac{228 \div 12}{24 \div 12})$ km = $(\frac{19}{2})$ km = $9 \frac{1}{2}$ km

Hence, the distance covered by the car with 1 litre of petrol is $9 \frac{1}{2}$ km.

Question 16:

How many pieces of plywood, each 0.35 cm thick, are required to make a pile 1.89 m high?

Answer:

Thickness of the pile of plywood pieces = 1.89 m = 189 cm
Thickness of one piece of plywood = 0.35 cm
∴ Required number of plywood pieces = $(\frac{189}{0.35}) = (\frac{189 \times 100}{0.35 \times 100}) = (\frac{18900}{35}) = 540$

Hence, 540 pieces of plywood are required to make a pile of height 1.89 m.

Question 4:

Each bag of cement weighs 48.5 kg. How many such bags will weigh 2231 kg?

Answer:

Total weight of all the bags = 2231 kg
Weight of each bag = 48.5 kg

Number of bags = $\frac{Total weight}{Weight of each bag}$

= $(\frac{2231}{48.5})$ kg

= $(\frac{2231 \times 10}{48.5 \times 10}) = \frac{22310}{485} = 46$

Hence, 46 bags of cement will weigh 2231 kg.

Question 5:

Divide:

(i) 0.196 by 1.4
(ii) 39.168 by 1.2
(iii) 0.228 by 0.38

Answer:

(i) 0.196 ÷ 1.4 = $\frac{0.196}{1.4} = \frac{0.196 \times 10}{1.4 \times 10} = \frac{1.96}{14} = 0.14$



(ii) 39.168 ÷ 1.2 = $\frac{39.168}{1.2} = \frac{39.168 \times 10}{1.2 \times 10} = \frac{391.68}{12} = 32.64$



(iii) 0.228 ÷ 0.38 = $\frac{0.228}{0.38} = \frac{0.228 \times 100}{0.38 \times 100} = \frac{22.8}{38} = 0.6$

Question 6:

The product of two decimals is 1.824. If one of them is 0.64, find the other.

Answer:

Product of the given decimals = 1.824
One decimal = 0.64
The other decimal = 1.824 ÷ 0.64
= $\frac{1.824}{0.64} = (\frac{1.824 \times 100}{0.64 \times 100}) = \frac{182.4}{64} = 2.85$

Hence, the other decimal is 2.85.

Question 7:

How many pieces of plywood, each of 0.45 cm thick, are required to make a pile 2.43 m high?

Answer:

Thickness of the pile of plywoods = 2.43 m = 2.43 $\times$ 100 cm = 243 cm
Thickness of one piece of plywood = 0.45 cm
∴ Required number of pieces of plywood = $\frac{243}{0.45} = \frac{243 \times 100}{0.45 \times 100} = \frac{24300}{45} = 540$

Hence, the required number of pieces of plywood is 540.

Question 8:

Each side of a polygon is 3.8 cm in length and its perimeter is 22.8 cm. How many sides does the polygon have?

Answer:

Let the number of sides of the polygon be n.
Length of each side of the polygon = 3.8 cm
∴ Perimeter of the polygon = (3.8 $\times$ n) cm
But it is given that its perimeter is 22.8 cm.
∴ (3.8 $\times$ n) cm = 22.8 cm
⇒ n = $(\frac{22.8}{3.8})$ = $\frac{228}{38}$ = 6

Hence, the given polygon has six sides.

What should be added to 2.06 to get 3.1?

(a) 1.4
(b) 1.24
(c) 1.04
(d) none of these

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.
Let the number added be x.
We have:
2.06 + x = 3.1
⇒ x = 3.1 − 2.06

Converting the given decimals into like decimals, we get:
2.06 and 3.10
Thus, required number = (3.10 − 2.06) = 1.04

Hence, 1.04 should be added to 2.06 to get 3.1.
