Question: 18
Have you heard about marathon races in which people have to run about 40 kilometres? People run marathons on roads because the track of a stadium is only 400 metres.
(a) 10 rounds of a stadium track = ________ km
Answer: 10 rounds of a stadium track = 400 metres × 10
= 4000 metres
= 400 ÷ 1000
= 4 km
So, 10 rounds of a stadium track = 4 km
(b) So, if you run a marathon on a stadium track, you will have to complete rounds!
Answer: The number of rounds to be completed
= (40 × 100) ÷ 100
= 4000 ÷ 100
= 10
Hence, you have to complete 10 rounds on a stadium track
Question: 19
Dhanu has the longest jump of 3 metres 40 cm. Gurjeet is second. His jump is 20 cm less than Dhanu’s. Gopi comes third. His jump is only 5 cm less than Gurjeet’s jump.
How long are Gurjeet’s and Gopi’s jumps?
Answer: Gurjeet’s jumps = Dhanu’s jump – 20 cm
= 3 metres 40 cm – 20 cm
= 3 metres 20 cm
Therefore, Gurjeet’s jump is 3 metres 20 cm
Gopi’s jump = Gurjeet’s jumps – 5 cm
= 3 metres 20 cm – 5 cm
= 3 metres 15 cm
Therefore, Gopi’s jump is 3 metres 15 cm
Question: 20
Find out from the table
1. How many centimetres more should Chandra Pal jump to equal the Men’s World Record for high jump?
Answer: We know that,
1 m = 100 cm
Given
Men’s world record for high jump = 2 m 45 cm
= 2 × 100 + 45 cm
= 200 cm + 45 cm
= 245 cm
High jump record of Chandra Pal = 2 m 17 cm
= 2 × 100 + 17 cm
= 200 cm + 17 cm
= 217 cm
Now, subtract 217 from 245, we get
245 – 217 = 28 cm
Hence, to equal the men’s world record for high jump, Chandra Pal needs to jump 28 cm more.
2. How many centimetres higher should Bobby A jump to reach 2 metres?
Remember that 1 m = 100 cm
Half metre =?
Answer: Bobby A, high jump record = 1 m 91 cm
= 1 × 100 + 91 cm
= 191 cm
Required centimetres to reach is 2m
So,
= 2 × 100
= 200 cm
Thus,
200 – 191 = 9 cm
Therefore, Bobby A should jump 9 cm higher to reach 2 metres
3. Galina’s long jump is nearly
(a) 7 metres
(b) 7 and a half metres
(c) 8 metres
Answer: Galina’s long jump record is 7 m 52 cm
Hence, it is nearly 7 and half metres,
Therefore option (b) is correct
4. Look at the Women’s World Records. What is the difference between the longest jump and the highest jump?
Answer: Women’s World record for high jump = 2 m 9 cm
Women’s World record for long jump = 7 m 52 cm
So, difference between them is
= 7 m 52 cm – 2 m 9 cm
= 5 m 43 cm
5. If Mike P, could jump _______ centimetres longer, his jump would be full 9 metres.
Answer: Mike P long jump record = 8 m 95 cm
To reach 9 metres = 9 m – 8 m 95 cm

Question: 21
* How many rounds of the park must Devi Prasad run to complete 2 km?
Answer: We know that,
1 km = 1000 m
So,
2 km = 2000 m
Hence, to complete 2000 m, Devi Prasad must complete
= 2000 m ÷ 400 m
= 5 rounds
Therefore, Devi Prasad has to complete 5 rounds of the park
* One day the weather was very good and a cool breeze was blowing. He felt so good that he kept jogging till he got tired after 8 rounds. That day he ran _______ km and _________ metres!
Answer: Distance covered to complete one round of the park = 400 m
So, distance covered by Devi Prasad to complete 8 rounds of the park = 400 m × 8
= 3200 m
We know,
1000 m = 1 km
Therefore, 3200 m = 3000 m + 200 m
3000 m = 3000 ÷ 1000
= 3 km 200 m
Hence, Devi Prasad ran 3 km 200 m to complete 8 rounds of the park
