Lipika reads 1 3/4 hours per day. Over 6 days, she reads 6 × 1 3/4 = 6 × 7/4 = 42/4 = 10 1/2 hours in total.

Width is determined by the area divided by the length: (196/3) ÷ (49/4) = (196 × 4) ÷ (3 × 49) = 784/147 = 5 1/3 m.

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: 17 3/4 = 71/4 and 7 2/5 = 37/5. Multiply these to find total cost: Rs (71/4) × (37/5) = Rs 2627/20 = Rs 131.35.

Ravish can read (1/3) part of the book in 1 hour, so in 2 1/5 hours, he will read (1/3) × (11/5) = 11/15 of the book.

After consuming (2/3) of 30 kg, 1/3 is left. Therefore, 1/3 of 30 kg is 30/3 = 10 kg.

First, find the total number of oranges: Rs 630 ÷ (Rs 21/4) gives 120 oranges. Since a dozen is 12, he sold 120 ÷ 12 = 10 dozens of oranges.

The distance between the first and the last sapling is calculated as the number of gaps between saplings multiplied by the distance between them. Since there are 5 saplings, there will be 4 gaps, each 3/4 m apart. The total distance is 4 × 3/4 = 3 m.

A fraction's reciprocal is the inversion of its numerator and denominator. Reciprocals of proper fractions are improper fractions and vice versa, while reciprocals of 1 result in itself, a whole number. For example, the reciprocal of (3/7) is (7/3), improper.

Calculate the number of boys, which is (3/5) × 45 = 27. So, the number of girls is 45 - 27 = 18.

Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions: 41 2/3 = 125/3 and 18 3/5 = 93/5. The area is given by the product of the two: (125/3) × (93/5) = 3875/15 = 258 1/3 m².
