Question 1:
Can you write the following decimals as fractions?
(i) 0.7
(ii) 0.27
(iii) 0.90
(iv) 0.900
(v) 0.09
(vi) 0.009
(vii) 1.23
(viii) 2.731
(ix) 2.30
(x) 3.05
(xi) 7.003
Answer:
(i) Since there is only one digit after the decimal, the denominator of the equivalent fraction will be 10.
Therefore, 0.7 can be written in fraction as 
(ii) Since there are two digits after the decimal, the denominator of the equivalent fraction will be 100.
Therefore, 0.27 can be written in fraction as
(iii) Since there are two digits after the decimal, the denominator of the equivalent fraction will be 100.
Therefore, 0.90 can be written in fraction as

Question 1:
Three sides of a triangle are of lengths 12.4 centimetres, 8.3 centimetres and 15.9 centimetres. Find the perimeter.
Answer:
The lengths of the sides of the triangle are 12.4 cm, 8.3 cm and 15.9 cm.
The lengths can also be written as:
12.4 cm = 12 cm + 4 mm
8.3 cm = 8 cm + 3 mm
15.9 cm = 15 cm + 9 mm
We know that the perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of all its sides.
∴Perimeter of the given triangle = 12.4 cm + 8.3 cm + 15.9 cm
The addition can be shown as follows:

Question 2:
24.375 kilometres of road in a panchayat needs tarring. Of this, 18.43 kilimetres has been tarred. How much more remains to be tarred?
Answer:
Length of the panchayat road that needs tarring = 24.375 km
Length of the panchayat road that has been tarred = 18.43 km
These lengths can also be written as:
24.375 km = 24 km + 375 m
18.43 km = 18 km + 43 m
Length of the panchayat road that remains to be tarred = Length of the panchayat road that needs tarring − Length of the panchayat road that has already been tarred
∴ Length of the panchayat road that remains to be tarred = (24 km + 375 m) − (18 km + 43 m)

Question 3:
The perimeter of a triangle is 29.6 centimetre and two of the sides are of length 11.8 centimetres and 9.4 centimetres. Find the length of the third side.
Answer:
Perimeter of the triangle = 29.6 cm
The lengths of two sides of the triangle are 11.8 cm and 9.4 cm.
These lengths can also be written as:
29.6 cm = 29 cm + 6 mm
11.8 cm = 11 cm + 8 mm
9.4 cm = 9 cm + 4 mm
We know that the perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of all its sides.
Hence, the length of the third side can be calculated by subtracting the sum of the lengths of the other two sides from the perimeter of the triangle.
∴ Length of the third side = (29 cm + 6 mm) − {(11 cm + 8 mm) − (9 cm + 4 mm)}
The addition of the sides:

Question 1:
Babu bought 1.5 metres of cloth for a shirt, at Rs 42.50 rupees a metre. How much did he pay for it?
Answer:
Length of the cloth bought by Babu = 1.5 m
Cost of 1 m length of the cloth = Rs 42.50
Total amount paid by Babu = Cost of 1 m length of the cloth × Length of the cloth bought
= Rs 42.50 × 1.5
= Rs
= Rs
= Rs
= Rs 63.75

Question 2:
One kilogram of plastic rope is 11.5 metre long. A man bought 3.5 kilograms of it. What is the total length of the rope?
Answer:
Length of 1 kilogram of plastic rope = 11.5 m
Total weight of rope bought by the man = 3.5 kg
Total length of the rope = Length of 1 kilogram of the rope × Total weight of the rope bought
= 11.5 m × 3.5
= m
= m
= m
= 40.25 m

Question 3:
The price of one litre of petrol is Rs 42.40. A man paid Rs 100 for 2.5 litre of petrol for his bike. Is it more than the required amount or less? By how much?
Answer:
Price of 1 litre of petrol = Rs 42.40
Money paid for 2.5 litres of petrol = Rs 100
Total cost of petrol = Price of 1 litre of petrol × Total litres of petrol bought
= Rs 42.40 × 2.5
= Rs
= Rs
= Rs
= Rs 106
The amount paid by the man is less than the required amount.
Required difference = Rs 106 − Rs 100 = Rs 6
Thus, the man paid Rs 6 less than the required amount.
