Class 04 - Mathematics

1. (d) Bicycle shop

Explanation: Distance between gift shop and bicycle shop = 15.6 km; Distance between gift shop and party supply shop =
44.5 km; Distance between gift shop and grocery shop = 50.2 km. As it can be clearly seen, the distance between gift shop and
bicycle shop is the least which means they are nearest.
2. (a) ₹33.50
Explanation: Subtract 26.5 from 60
60.0 - 26.5 = 33.5
3. (b) (a) - (iv), (b) (iii), (c) - (ii), (d) - (i)
Explanation: (a) - (iv), (b) (iii), (c) - (ii), (d) - (i)
4. (b) 0.018
Explanation: 0.018
5. (b) 0.07
Explanation: 0.32 - 025 = 0.07
6. (b) 0.64
Explanation: When we multiply a decimal number by 1 followed by zero i.e 10, 100, 1000 and so on, the decimal point moves
right-hand side.
Here it is multiplied by 100.
100 has two zero, so decimal point moves right. it takes only two-step.
It was 0.0064 × 100 so the decimal point moves one step right side. so it is 0.64.
7. (b) 8.335 kg
Explanation: g = 1000 kg
∴ kg = 8.335 kg.
8335

1000

9. (b) 18.54
Explanation: 103.1 - 84.56 = 18.54
10. (d) 0.008
Explanation: 0.04 change to the whole number so multiplies numerator and denominator by 100.
4
So it becomes 500
so the answer is 0.008.
11. (d) 0.125
Explanation: 0.125
12. (d) 0.000008
Explanation: 0.000008
13. (b) 1250.9
Explanation: : 825.23 + 425.68 = 1250.91 On rounding off 1250.91 to nearest tenths, we get 1250.9
14. (a) 0.09
1.10

Explanation: −1.01

0.09

15. (a) Only A is true

Explanation: Only A is true. 0.34 is equal to 0.340 because the zero after the decimals in the end does not hold any
significance.

16. (a) 76.5
Explanation: 92.1 - 15 6

10
= 92.1 - 156

10
= 92.1 - 15.6 = 76.5.
17. (a) 26.34
Explanation: 20 + 6 = 26, 3 by 10 = 0.3 and 4 by 100 = 0.04
So when you add 26 + 0.3 + 0.04 answer is 26.34
18. (d) 17.0625
Explanation: Required decimal equivalent of 17 1

16
16×17+1 272+1
= 16
= 16
= 273

16
= 17.0625

19. (b) 37.8

Explanation: 60 × 0.63 = 37.8
20. (d) 515.296
Explanation: 175.6 + 86.54 + 245.356 + 7.8 = 515.296
21. (a) - (ii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (iii)
22. (a) – (i), (b) – (iv), (c) – (iii), (d) – (ii)
23. a. Seventy five thousand twenty one point four five nine = 75021.459
b. Six thousand seven hundred forty three point zero eight three = 6743.083
1 3
24. a. 8.013 = 8 + 100
+ 1000

So, the place value of 3 is 3 thousandth

3
b. 53.31 = 50 + 3 + +10 100
1

So, the place value of 5 is tens

25. 4.5 + 3.7 - 3.6 ÷ 1.2
= 4.5 + 3.7 - 3.0
= 8.2 - 3.0
= 5.2
26. 0.6 = 6 tenths
0.8 = 8 tenths
Because 8 tenths > 6 tenths
Thus, 0.8 > 0.6
27. Here, all the decimal fractions are in like decimals. Now subtract as usual,

81.519 - 17.053 = 64.466.

28. First change 95 into like decimals
95 = 95.00
95.00 - 87.14 = 7.86
7.86 should be added to 87.14 to get the sum 95
29. a. 634.498 and 634.215
The whole part is equal in two decimals i.e., 634
So, compare tenth digit = 4 > 2
therefore, 634.498 > 634.215
b. 586.39 and 586.345
The whole part is equal in two decimals i.e., 586
tenth digit is also same
So, compare hundredth digit = 9 > 4
therefore, 586.39 > 586.345
30. a. 5.158 from 7.9
7.9 - 5.158 = 2.742
b. 0.00084 kg from 0.05 kg
0.05 - 0.00084 = 0.04916

31. To get the number, subtract 85.264 from 164.253
Therefore, 78.989 is to be added to 85.264 to get 164.253

32. a. 0.069, 0.008, 0.07

0.069 + 0.008 + 0.07 = 0.147
b. 0.0906, 0.00738
0.0906 + 0.00738 = 0.09798

33.

34. a. 123.450 + 178.600 + 25.201 = 327.251

b. 86.79 + 25.10 + 71.06 = 182.95
c. 13.460 + 30.000 + 45.071 = 88.531
d. 430.706 + 80.617 + 0.014 = 511.337
35. First, we will perform the multiplication ignoring decimal point.

Now place the decimal point in the product to get as many decimal places in the product as there are in the multiplicand. And,
here the multiplicand contains one decimal place, so the product must contain one decimal place.
Thus, 43.5 × 4 = 174.0 = 174
36. a. 6.23 and 2.14
6.23 - 2.14 = 4.09
b. 11.5 and 9.03
11.50 - 9.03 = 2.47
c. 66.05 and 17.5
66.05 - 17.50 = 48.55
d. 0.06 and 0.6
0.60 - 0.06 = 0.54
37. i. 599.936 and 599.999
here, the number before the decimal point is equal.
so, comparing the number after decimal point
936 < 999
So, 599.936 < 599.999
599.999 is greater than 599.936
ii. 39.42 and 40.42639
39 < 40
so, 39.42 < 40.42639
40.42639 is greater than 39.42
38. a. 985625.03 = Nine lakh eighty five thousand six hundred twenty five point zero three.
b. 124587.65 = One lakh twenty four thousand five hundred eighty seven point six five
c. 8986.08 = Eight thousand nine hundred eighty six point zero eight
d. 15001.2 = Fifteen thousand one point two

40. 76.363 ÷ 0.7
[Count the number of decimal digits in the divisor.]

[Move the decimal in dividend that many places to the right.]

763.63 ÷ 7
[Write the divisor without the decimal.]

[Now divide the numbers as usual.]

Therefore, 76.363 ÷ 0.7 = 109.09
41. 14.7 ÷ 2.1
