Solution:

  • 0.007 + 8.5 + 30.08

= 38.587

  • 15 + 0.632 + 13.8

= 29.432

  • 27.076 + 0.55 + 0.004

= 27.63

  • 25.65 + 9.005 + 3.7

= 38.355

  • 0.75 + 10.425 + 2

= 13.175

  • 280.69 + 25.2 + 38

= 343.89

2. Rashid spent ₹35.75 for Maths book and₹ 32.60 for science book. Find the total amount spent by Rashid.

Solution:

Cost of Maths book = ₹ 35.75

Cost of Science book = ₹ 32.60

Total amount spent by Rashid = cost of Math’s book + cost of science book

= ₹ 35.75 + ₹ 32.60

= ₹ 68.35

Hence the total amount of money spent by Rashid is₹ 68.35

3. Radhika’s mother gave her ₹ 10.50 and her father gave her ₹ 15.80, find the total amount given to Radhika by the parents.

Solution:

Money given by Radhika’s mother = Rs. 10.50

Money given by Radhika’s father = Rs. 15.80

Total money received by Radhika = Rs. 10.50 + Rs. 15.80

= Rs. 26.30

  • Nasreen bought 3 m 20 cm cloth for her shirt and 2 m 5 cm cloth for her trouser. Find the total length of cloth bought by her.

Solution:

We know that 100 cm = 1m

Therefore, 1cm = 1/100 m

3 m 20 cm = 3 m + 20 cm

= 3 m + 20/100 m

= 3 + 0.20 m

= 3.20 m

2 m + 5 cm = 2 m + 5 cm

= 2 m + 5/100 m

= 2 m + 0.05m

= 2.05 m

Cloth bought for shirt = 3 m 20 cm = 3.20 m

Cloth bought for trouser = 2 m 5 cm = 2.05 m

Total length of cloth bought by Nasreen = 3.20 + 2.05

=    5.25m

5. Naresh walked 2 km 35 m in the morning and 1 km 7 m in the evening. How much distance did he walk in all?

Solution:

Distance covered in kilometres by Naresh in the morning = 2 km 35 m = (2 + 35/1000) km = 2.035 km.

Distance covered in kilometres by Naresh in the evening = 1 km 7 m = (1 + 7/1000) km = 1.007 km

Therefore, Total distance walked by him in all = (2.035 + 1.007) km = 3.042 km

6. Sunita travelled 15 km 268 m by bus, 7 km 7 m by car and 500 m on foot in order to reach her school. How far is her school from her residence?

Solution:

Distance travelled by Sunita by bus = 15 km 268 m = 15.268 km

Distance travelled by Sunita by car = 7 km 7 m = 7.007 km

Distance travelled by Sunita by foot = 500 m = 0.500 km

So, the distance from residence to school = 15.268 + 7.007 + 0.500 = 22.775 km

Hence, the distance from her residence to school is 22.775 km.

7. Ravi purchased 5 kg 400 g rice, 2 kg 20 g sugar and 10 kg 850g flour. Find the total weight of his purchases.

Solution:

Weight of rice = 5 kg 400 g

Weight of sugar = 2 kg 20 g

Weight of flour = 10 kg 850 g

  Total weight = 5 kg 400 g + 2 kg 20 g + 10 kg +850 g

= (5 + 2 + 10) kg + (400 + 20 + 850) g

= 17 kg + 1270 g

= 17kg + 1270/1000 g

= 17 kg + 1.270 kg

= 18.270 kg

EXERCISE 8.6

1. Subtract:

(a) ₹ 18.25 from ₹ 20.75 (b) 202.54 m from 250 m (c) ₹ 5.36 from ₹ 8.40

(d) 2.051 km from 5.206 km (e) 0.314 kg from 2.107 kg

Solution:

(a) ₹ 18.25 from ₹ 20.75

= ₹ (20.75 – 18.25)

= 2.50

(b) 202.54 m from 250 m

= (250 – 202.54) m

= 47.46 m

(c) ₹ 5.36 from ₹ 8.40

= (8.40 – 5.36)

= 3.04

(d) 2.051 km from 5.206 km

= (5.206 – 2.051) km

= 3.155 km

(e) 0.314 kg from 2.107 kg

= (2.107 – 0.314) kg

= 1.793 kg

2. Find the value of:

(a) 9.756 – 6.28 (b) 21.05 – 15.27 (c) 18.5 – 6.79 (d) 11.6 – 9.847

Solution:

(a) 3.476 (b) 5.78 (c) 11.71 (d) 1.753

2. 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?

Solution:

Cost of the book = Rs. 35.65

Money given to shopkeeper = Rs. 50

Money to be returned by shopkeeper = Rs. 50 – Rs. 35.65

Hence, Raju gets Rs. 14.35 back from the shopkeeper.

3. Rani had Rs. 18.50. She bought one ice-cream for Rs. 11.75. How much money does she have now?

Solution:

Total money = Rs.18.50
Cost of Ice-cream = Rs.11.75
Amount left = Rs.18.50 – Rs.11.75

 = Rs.6.75
Therefore, Rani has Rs.6.75.

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

Solution:

The total length of cloth tina had in metres = 20 m 5 cm = 20.05 m

The length of cloth she cuts to make a curtain = 4 m 50 cm = 4.50 m

The length of cloth left with Tina = Total length of cloth – length of cloth she cuts to make a curtain = 20.05 – 4.50 = 15.55m

5. Namita travels 20 km 50 m every day. Out of this she travels 10 km 200 m by bus and the rest by auto. How much distance does she travel by auto?

Solution;

We will be using the concept of decimals to solve this.

Total distance travelled by Namita every day = 20 km 50 m

= 20.050 km

The distance travelled by Namita on bus = 10 km 200 m

= 10.200 km

The distance travelled by Namita on auto = Total distance travelled in a day – Distance travelled by bus

= 20.050 – 10.200 = 9.850 km
