2. Observe the number line and answer the questions.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 10

(1) Which number is indicated by point B?
(2) Which point indicates the number 1 ¾?
(3) State whether the statement, ‘the point D denotes the number 5/2, is true or false.

Solution:

We know that, each part between integers is divided into 4 parts on the number line

So, each part equals ¼.

(1) Which number is indicated by point B?

Point B is marked on the 10th equal part on the left side of O (i.e., the negative side).

∴ The number indicated by point B is −10/4.

(2) Which point indicates the number 1 ¾?

1 ¾ can be represented as:

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 11

Point C is marked on the 7th equal part on the right side of O.

∴ The number 1 ¾ is indicated by point C.

(3) State whether the statement, ‘the point D denotes the number 5/2, is true or false.

The statement is true.

Point D is marked on the 10th equal part on the right side of O.

∴ D denotes the number 10/4 = (5 × 2) / (2 × 2) = 5/2

Practice set 1.2 PAGE NO: 03

1. Compare the following numbers.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 12

Solution:

(1) -7, -2

Now if there are two numbers, a and b such that a>b then

-a<-b.

Since, 7 > 2

∴ 7 < -2

(2) 0, -9/5

Since, -9/5 is a negative quantity; it will always be less than zero.

∴ 0 > -9/5.

(3) 8/7, 0

Since, 8/7 is a positive quantity; it will always be greater than zero.

∴ 0 < 8/7.

(4) -5/4, ¼

Since the denominators are same, we shall check which number in the numerator is greater.

-5 < 1

∴ -5/4 < ¼

(5) 40/29, 141/29

Since the denominators are same, we shall check which number in the numerator is greater.

40 < 141

∴ 40/29 < 141/29

(6) -17/20, -13/20

Now if there are two numbers, a and b such that a>b then

-a < -b.

Since, 17 > 13

So, -17 < -13.

Now, the denominator is same, we shall check which number in the numerator is greater.

Since, -17 < -13

∴ -17/20 < -13/20

(7) 15/12, 7/16

Firstly let us make the denominators equal.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 13

Now the denominators are equal, we shall check whose numerator is greater.

60 > 21.

∴ 15/12 > 7/16

(8) -25/8, -9/4

Firstly let us make the denominators equal.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 14

Now the denominators are equal, we shall check whose numerator is greater.

-25<-18.

∴ -25/18 < -9/4

(9) 12/15, 3/5

Firstly let us make the denominators equal.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 15

Now the denominators are equal, we shall check whose numerator is greater.

12 > 9.

∴ 12/15 > 3/5

(10) -7/11, -3/4

Firstly let us make the denominators equal.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 16

Now the denominators are equal, we shall check whose numerator is greater.

-28 > -33.

∴ -7/11 > -3/4

Practice set 1.3 PAGE NO: 04

Practice set 1.4 PAGE NO: 05

1. The number √2 is shown on a number line. Steps are given to show √3 on the number line using √2. Fill in the boxes properly and complete the activity.

Activity:
● The point Q on the number line shows the number…….
● A line perpendicular to the number line is drawn through the point Q.
Point R is at unit distance from Q on the line.

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 27


● Right angled ∆ORQ is obtained by drawing seg OR.
● l(OQ) = √2, l(QR) = 1
∴ by Pythagoras theorem,
[l(OR)]2 = [l(OQ)]2 + [l(QR)]2
Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 28
Draw an arc with center O and radius OR. Mark the point of intersection of the line and the arc as C. The point C shows the number √3.

Solution:

● The point Q on the number line shows the number √2.

● A line perpendicular to the number line is drawn through the point Q.

Point R is at unit distance from Q on the line. (Here unit distance means 1 cm or any other unit.)

● Right angled ∆ORQ is obtained by drawing seg OR.

● l(OQ) = √2, l(QR) = 1

∴ By Pythagoras theorem,

[l(OR)]2 = [l(OQ)]2 + [l(QR)]2

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 29

By taking square root on both the sides,

Draw an arc with centre O and radius OR. Mark the point of intersection of the line and the arc as C. The point C shows the number √3.

2. Represent √5 on the number line.

Solution:

Let us draw a number line, mark the center as point O and mark a point Q at number 2 such that it is 2cm from the center i.e., l(OQ) = 2 units.

Now, draw a line QR perpendicular to the number line through the point Q such that l(QR) = 1 unit.

Draw seg OR.

∆OQR formed is a right angled triangle.

By using Pythagoras theorem,

[l(OR)]² = [l(OQ)]² + [l(QR)]²

= 2² + 1²

= 4 + 1

= 5

∴l(OR) = √5 units

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 30

By taking square root on both the sides,

Draw an arc with centre O and radius OR. Mark the point of intersection of the number line and arc as C. The point C shows the number √5.

3. Show the number √7 on the number line.

Solution:

Let us draw a number line, mark the center as point O and mark a point Q at number 2 such that it is 2cm from the center i.e., l(OQ) = 2 units.

Draw a line QR perpendicular to the number line through the point Q such that l(QR) = 1 unit.

Draw seg OR.

∆OQR formed is a right angled triangle.

By using Pythagoras theorem,

[l(OR)]² = [l(OQ)]² + [l(QR)]²

= 2² + 1²

= 4 + 1

= 5

∴ l(OR) = √5 units

Maharashtra Board Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 1 - image 31

By taking square root on both the sides,

Draw an arc with centre O and radius OR.

Mark the point of intersection of the number line and arc as C. The point C shows the number √5.

Similarly, draw a line CD perpendicular to the number line through the point C such that l(CD) = 1 unit.

By using Pythagoras theorem,

l(OD) = √6 units

The point E shows the number √6 .

Similarly, draw a line EP perpendicular to the number line through the point E such that l(EP) = 1 unit.

By Pythagoras theorem,

l(OP) = √7 units

The point F shows the number √7.

The numbers of the form m/n are called rational numbers. Here, m and n are integers but n is not zero. We have also seen that there are infinite rational numbers between any two rational numbers.
