ii. 39 + 700.65
iii. 40 + 27.7 + 2.451
Solution:
i. 905.5 + 27.197

ii. 39 + 700.65

iii. 40 + 27.7 + 2.451

Question 3.
Subtract:
i. 85.96 – 2.345
ii. 632.24 – 97.45
iii. 200.005 – 17.186
Solution:
i. 85.96 – 2.345

ii. 632.24 – 97.45

iii. 200.005 – 17.186

Question 4.
Avinash traveled 42 km 365 m by bus, 12 km 460 in by car and walked 640 m. How many kilometers did he travel altogether? (Write your answer in decimal fractions)
Solution:
Distance traveled in bus = 42 km 365 m
= 42 km + \frac { 365 }{ 1000 } km
= 42 km + 0.365 km

= 42.365 km
Distance travelled in car = 12 km 460 m
= 12 km + \frac { 460 }{ 1000 } km
= 12 km + 0.460 km

= 12.460 km
Distance walked = 640 m
= \frac { 640 }{ 1000 } = 0.640 km
∴ Total distance travelled = Distance travelled in bus + Distance travelled in car + Distance walked
= 42.365 + 12.460 + 0.640

= 55.465 km
∴ Distance travelled altogether by Avinash is 55.465 km.

Question 5.
Ayesha bought 1.80 m of cloth for her salwaar and 2.25 for her kurta. If the cloth costs Rs 120 per metre, how much must she pay the shopkeeper?
Solution:
Total length of cloth bought = 1.80 m + 2.25 m
= 4.05 m

Cost of 1 m of cloth = Rs 120
∴ Cost of 4.05 m of cloth = 4.05 x 120

∴ Amount to be paid to the shopkeeper is Rs 486.

Question 6.
Sujata bought a watermelon weighing 4.25 kg and gave 1 kg 750 g to the children in her neighbourhood. How much of it does she have left?
Solution:
Total weight of watermelon = 4.25 kg
Weight of watermelon given to children = 1 kg 750 g
= 1 kg + \frac { 750 }{ 1000 } kg
= 1 kg + 0.75 kg

= 1.75 kg
∴ Weight of watermelon left = Total weight of watermelon – Weight of watermelon given to children
= 4.25 kg – 1.75 kg

= 2.5 kg
∴ Weight of watermelon left with Sujata is 2.5 kg.

Question 7.
Anita was driving at a speed of 85.6 km per hour. The road had a speed limit of 55 km per hour. By how much should she reduce her speed to be within the speed limit?
Solution:
Speed at which Anita is driving = 85.6 km per hr.
Speed limit = 55 km per hr.
∴ Anita should reduce her speed by 85.6 km per hr – 55 km per hr.

= 30.6 km per hr.
∴ Anita should reduce her speed by 30.6 km per hour to be within the speed limit.
