1. What fraction of each of the following figure is shaded?

Solution:
(i) In the given figure, the shaded fraction is 2 / 8 = 1 / 4
(ii) In the given figure, the shaded fraction is 3 / 10
(iii) In the given figure, the shaded fraction is 5 / 12
(iv) In the given figure, the shaded fraction is 7 / 13
2. Evaluate the following:
(i) (4 / 3) + (7 / 8)
(ii)
(iii) (5 / 12) + (1 / 18) – (2 / 9)
Solution:
(i) (4 / 3) + (7 / 8)
L.C.M. of 3, 8 is 24, we get,
= (32 + 21) / 24
= 53 / 24
We get,
=
(ii)
This can be written as,
= (17 / 2) – (29 / 8)
L.C.M. of 2, 8 is 8, we get,
= (68 – 29) / 8
= 39 / 8
We get,
=
(iii) (5 / 12) + (1 / 18) – (2 / 9)
L.C.M. of 12, 18, 9 is 36, we get,
= (15 + 2 – 8) / 36
= (17 – 8) / 36
= 9 / 36
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 9, we get,
= (9 ÷ 9) / (36 ÷ 9)
We get,
= 1 / 4
3. Evaluate the following:
(i) 7 × (3 / 5)
(ii) 21 × (3 / 14)
(iii) × 8
(iv) 5 ×
Solution:
(i) 7 × (3 / 5)
On simplification, we get,
= 21 / 5
=
(ii) 21 × (3 / 14)
On further calculation, we get,
= 9 / 12
=
(iii)
× 8
This can be written as,
= (17 / 5) × 8
On calculating further, we get,
= 136 / 5
=
(iv) 5 ×
This can be written as,
= 5 × (27 / 4)
= 135 / 4
We get,
=
4. Find the reciprocal of each of the following:
(i) 3 / 7
(ii) 13 / 9
(iii) 8
Solution:
(i) The reciprocal of 3 / 7 is 7 / 3
(ii) The reciprocal of 13 / 9 is 9 / 13
(iii) The reciprocal of 8 is 1 / 8
5. Write the following numbers in the expanded form:
(i) 20.03
(ii) 200.03
(iii) 2.034
Solution:
(i) 20.03
The expanded form of the given decimal is shown below,
= 2 × 10 + 0 × 1 + 0 × (1 / 10) + 3 × (1 / 100)
(ii) 200.03
The expanded form of the given decimal is shown below,
= 2 × 100 + 0 × 10 + 0 × 1 + 0 × (1 / 10) + 3 × (1 / 100)
(iii) 2.034
The expanded form of the given decimal is shown below,
= 2 × 1 + 0 × (1 / 10) + 3 × (1 / 100) + 4 × (1 / 1000)
6. Find the following:
(i) 2.7 × 4
(ii) 2.71 × 5
(iii) 2.5 × 0.3
(iv) 2.3 × 4.35
(v) 238.06 × 7.5
(vi) 0.79 × 32.4
(vii) 1.07 × 0.02
(viii) 10.05 × 1.05
Solution:
(i) 2.7 × 4
= (27 / 10) × 4
= 108 / 10
= 10.8
(ii) 2.71 × 5
On calculation, we get,
= (271 / 100) × 5
= 1355 / 100
We get,
= 13.55
(iii) 2.5 × 0.3
On further calculation, we get,
= (25 / 10) × (3 / 10)
= 75 / 100
We get,
= 0.75
(iv) 2.3 × 4.35
On further calculation, we get,
= (23 / 10) × (435 / 100)
=10005 / 1000
We get,
= 10.005
(v) 238.06 × 7.5
On simplification, we get,
= (23806 / 100) × (75 / 10)
23806
× 75

7. Simplify the following:
(i) (3 / 5) of +
(ii) (4 / 5) × – 2 × (3 / 5)
(iii) {(4 / 5) + 2}{3 – (2 / 3)}
Solution:
(i) (3 / 5) of
+
This can be written as,
= (3 / 5) of (10 / 9) + (7 / 2)
= (3 / 5) × (10 / 9) + (7 / 2)
We get,
= (2 / 3) + (7 / 2)
L.C.M. of 3, 2 is 6, we get,
= (4 + 21) / 6
= 25 / 6
=
(ii) (4 / 5) ×
– 2 × (3 / 5)
This can be written as,
= (4 / 5) × (19 / 8) – 2 × (3 / 5)
We get,
= (19 / 10) – (6 / 5)
L.C.M. of 10, 5 is 10, we get,
= (19 – 12) / 10
We get,
= (7 / 10)
(iii) {(4 / 5) + 2}{3 – (2 / 3)}
On simplification, we get,
= {(4 + 10) / 5} × {(9 – 2) / 3}
= (14 / 5) × (7 / 3)
= (14 × 7) / (5 × 3)
We get,
= 98 / 15
