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 + 0.365 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 + 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.
