Question 1:
Without actual division, find which of the following rationals are terminating decimals.
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
Answer:
(i) Denominator of is 80.
And,
80 = 245
Therefore, 80 has no other factors than 2 and 5.
Thus, is a terminating decimal.
(ii) Denominator of is 24.
And,
24 = 233
So, 24 has a prime factor 3, which is other than 2 and 5.
Thus, is not a terminating decimal.
(iii) Denominator of is 12.
And,
12 = 223
So, 12 has a prime factor 3, which is other than 2 and 5.
Thus, is not a terminating decimal.
(iv) Denominator of is 35.
And,
35 = 75
So, 35 has a prime factor 7, which is other than 2 and 5.
Thus, is not a terminating decimal.
(v) Denominator of is 125.
And,
125 = 53
Therefore, 125 has no other factors than 2 and 5.
Thus, is a terminating decimal.

Question 4:
Write, whether the given statement is true or false. Give reasons.
(i) Every natural number is a whole number.
(ii) Every whole number is a natural number.
(iii) Every integer is a rational number.
(iv) Every rational number is a whole number.
(v) Every terminating decimal is a rational number.
(vi) 0 is a rational number.
Answer:
(i) True
Natural numbers start from 1 to infinity and whole numbers start from 0 to infinity; hence, every natural number is a whole number.
(ii) False
0 is a whole number but not a natural number, so every whole number is not a natural number.
(iii) True
Every integer can be expressed in the form.
(iv) False
Because whole numbers consist only of numbers of the form , where p is a positive number. On the other hand, rational numbers are the numbers whose denominator can be anything except 0.
(v) True
Every terminating decimal can be easily expressed in the form.
(vi) True
Every terminating decimal can be easily expressed in the form.
(vii) True
0 can be expressed in the form , so it is a rational number.

Question 3:
Represent on the real line.
Answer:
Let X'OX be a horizontal line taken as the x-axis and O be the origin representing 0.
Take OA = 1 unit and AB ⊥ OA such that AB = 1 unit.
Join OB.
Now,
OB = units
Taking O as the centre and OB as the radius, draw an arc, meeting OX at P.
We have:
OP = OB = units
Thus, point P represents on the number line.
Now, draw BC ⊥ OB such that BC = 1 unit.
Join OC.
We have:
OC = units
Taking O as the centre and OC as the radius, draw an arc, meeting OX at Q.
We have:
OQ = OC = units
Thus, point Q represents on the number line.
Now, draw CD ⊥OC such that CD = 1 unit.
Join OD.
We have:
OD = units
Now, draw DE ⊥OD such that DE = 1 unit.
Join OE.
We have:
OE = units
Taking O as the centre and OE as the radius, draw an arc, meeting OX at R.
We have:
OR = OE = units
Thus, point R represents on the number line.

Find the smallest of the number .
Answer:
We can write the given numbers in the following ways:
The powers of the given numbers are .
The LCM of the denominators of these powers is 12.
Because on raising all three numbers by the same power, the smallest number will still remain the smallest, raising each number to the power of 12, we get:
Of these three, 512 is the smallest number, which has been derived from .
Hence, is the smallest of all three numbers.
