QUESTIONS 11 TO 20

11 Fill in the blank: 12 mm = ___ cm

1 1 cm = 10 mm. So, 1 mm = 1/10 cm.

2 12 mm = 10 mm + 2 mm = 1 cm + 2/10 cm = 1.2 cm.

Ans: 1.2 cm

12 Fill in the blank: 56 mm = ___ cm

1 1 mm = 0.1 cm. Multiply 56 by 0.1.

2 56 mm = 5.6 cm.

Ans: 5.6 cm

13 Fill in the blank: 36 cm = ___ m

1 1 m = 100 cm. So, 1 cm = 1/100 m = 0.01 m.

2 36 cm = 36/100 m = 0.36 m.

Ans: 0.36 m

14 Fill in the blank: 465 g = ___ kg

1 1 kg = 1000 g. So, 1 g = 1/1000 kg = 0.001 kg.

2 465 g = 465/1000 kg = 0.465 kg.

Ans: 0.465 kg

15 Fill in the blank: 10 paise = ₹ ___

1 ₹1 = 100 paise. So, 1 paisa = ₹0.01.

2 10 paise = 10/100 = ₹0.10.

Ans: ₹0.10

16 Fill in the blank: 99 paise = ₹ ___

1 ₹1 = 100 paise. So, 1 paisa = ₹0.01.

2 99 paise = 99/100 = ₹0.99.

Ans: ₹0.99
17 Which decimal is greater: 1.23 or 1.32?

1 Compare the whole number part: Both are 1.

2 Compare the tenths digit: 2 vs 3. Since 3 > 2, 1.32 is greater.

Ans: 1.32

18 Which is greater: 10/1000 or 1/10?

1 Convert to decimals. 10/1000 = 0.010. 1/10 = 0.1.

2 Compare: 0.100 > 0.010.

Ans: 1/10 is greater.

19 Write in decimal form: 1/2

1 Multiply numerator and denominator by 5 to make the denominator 10.

2 (1 × 5) / (2 × 5) = 5/10 = 0.5.

Ans: 0.5

20 Convert to decimal: 5/100

1 Since the denominator is 100, the decimal extends to the hundredths place.

2 5/100 = 0.05.

Ans: 0.05

QUESTIONS 21 TO 30

21
Find the sum: 9 5/10 7/100 + 2 1/10 3/100

1 Add units: 9 + 2 = 11. Add tenths: 5 + 1 = 6. Add hundredths: 7 + 3 = 10.

2 10/100 = 1/10. So, 11 + 6/10 + 1/10 = 11 + 7/10.

Ans: 11 7/10 (or 11.7)

22 Find the difference: 12 6/10 2/100 – 9/10 9/100

1 Borrow 1 from 12 units to make 11 units and 10/10. Add to tenths: 16/10.

2 Borrow 1/10 to make hundredths 12/100.

3 Subtract: 11 - 0 = 11. 15/10 - 9/10 = 6/10. 12/100 - 9/100 = 3/100.

Ans: 11 6/10 3/100 (or 11.63)

23 Using digits 1, 4, 0, 8, and 6 make the smallest possible decimal number between 100 and 1000.

1 To be between 100 and 1000, the whole number must be 3 digits.

2 For the smallest number, start with the smallest non-zero digit (1), followed by 0, then the next smallest (4).

3 Place the remaining digits (6, 8) after the decimal in ascending order.

Ans: 104.68

24
Will a decimal number with more digits always be greater than a decimal number with fewer digits? Give
example.

1 No, the number of digits does not determine the value in decimals.

2 Example: 2.05 has three digits, while 2.5 has two digits. But 2.5 is greater than 2.05.

Ans: No. Example: 2.5 > 2.05

25 Write in decimal form: 10 tens, 10 ones, 10 tenths, and 10 hundredths

1 10 tens = 100. 10 ones = 10. 10 tenths = 1. 10 hundredths = 0.1.

Ans: 111.1
26
Pinto supplies 3.79 L, 4.2 L, and 4.25 L of milk in first 3 days. In 6 days, he supplies 25 litres. Find last 3 days'
supply.

1 Calculate the sum of the first 3 days: 3.79 + 4.20 + 4.25 = 12.24 L.

2 Subtract this sum from the total 6-day supply: 25 L - 12.24 L.

3 25.00 - 12.24 = 12.76 L.

Ans: 12.76 L

27
Indian Railways insurance costs 45 paise per passenger. If 1 lakh people opt for insurance in a day, what is the
total fee paid?

1 Total cost in paise = 1,00,000 passengers × 45 paise = 45,00,000 paise.

2 Convert paise to rupees by dividing by 100: 45,00,000 / 100 = ₹45,000.

Ans: ₹45,000
