The length of the pencil measured by using the scale is 3 cm and 6 millimetres (mm), so my guess is near to the correct value.

Here, one centimetre has 10 equal parts. So, each part is one-tenth of a centimetre. One-tenth of a centimetre is called one millimetre (mm).

4. What is the length of this pencil? _______ mm. What is its length in centimetres?

6. What does 0.9 cm mean? It is the same as ____ millimetres. We can also say this is nine-tenths of a cm. Right?

Solution:-

Here, one centimetre has 10 equal parts. So, each part is one-tenth of a centimetre. One-tenth of a centimetre is called one millimetre (mm).

So, 0.9 cm is the same as 9 millimetres.

Yes, we can say 0.9 cm is nine-tenths of a cm.

Solution:-

So, 30.5 cm is the same as 30 cm and 5 millimetres.

8. About how many of the big frogs will fit on the 1m scale?

Solution:-

As we know, 1m = 100 cm.

Then, the length of the big frog is 30.5 cm.

So, 3 big frogs will fit on the 1 cm scale.

9. If they sit in a straight line about how many of the small frogs will cover 1m?

Solution:-

As we know, 1m = 100 cm.

Then, the length of the small frog is 0.9 cm.

= 100/0.9

= 111

If small frogs sit in a straight line, 111 frogs will cover 1m.

Answer-

The soap costs Rs. 8.75.

4. Arun wanted to buy soap. He has a five-rupee coin, 2 one-rupee coins and 4 half-rupee coins. Write in rupees what money he will get back.

Answer-

Money with Arun = (5 × 1) + (1 × 2) + (4 × 0.5)

We get

= 5 + 2 + 2

= Rs. 9

We know that

Cost of one soap = Rs. 8.75

So, Arun will get back = 9 – 8.75

It can be written as

= (900 – 875) paise

= 25 paise

= Re. 0.25

5. (a) An egg costs two and a half rupees. How much will one and a half dozen cost?

(b) How many pens can Kannan buy? How much money is left?

NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Chapter 10 Image 22

Answer-

(a) Cost of one egg = Rs. 2.50

So, the cost of one and a half dozen eggs = 12 + 6 = 18 eggs

Here, the cost of 18 eggs = 18 × 2.50

We can write it as

= 18 × 2 + 18 × 0.50

= 36 + 9

= Rs 45

So, the money left = 60 – 45 = Rs 15

(b) Kannan can buy 2 pens. The money left with him is Rs. 15.

(B) Mithun’s uncle in America had sent him 10 US dollars as a gift. Mithun used 350 rupees for a school trip. How much money was left with him?

NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Chapter 10 Image 41

Answer-

Money given to Mithun by his uncle = 10 US Dollars

We know that 1 US Dollar = 39.70

So, the money received by Mithun = 10 × 39.70

It can be written as

= 10 × 39 + 10 × 0.70

= 390 + 7

= Rs 397

Money used by Mithun for a school trip = Rs 350

So, the money left with him = 397 – 350 = Rs 47

(C) Majeed’s father is working in the U.A.E. He gets 1000 Dirham as his salary. Arun’s father, who is working in Sri Lanka, gets 2000 Sri Lankan Rupees. Who gets more Indian rupees as salary?

Answer-

Salary of Majeed’s father = 1000 Saudi Riyal

We can write it as

= 1000 × 10.52

By further calculation,

= 1000 × 10 + 1000 × 0.52

So, we get

= 1000 + 520

= Rs 10520

Salary of Arun’s father = 2000 Sri Lankan Rupees

We can write it as

= 2000 × 0.37

By further calculation,

= 2000 × 37 paise

= 74000 paise

= Rs 740

Therefore, Majeed’s father gets more Indian rupees.

(D) Leena’s aunty brought a present for her from China. It cost 30 Yuan. Find what it costs in Indian rupees.

NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Chapter 10 Image 42

Answer-

Cost of the gift given to Leena = 30 Yuan

We know that 1 Yuan = Rs 5.50

It can be written as

= 30 × 5.50

So, we get

= 30 × 5 + 30 × 0.50

= 150 + 15

= Rs 165

(E) Astha wants some Hong Kong Dollars and Won.

1. How many Won can she change for Rs 4? For Rs 400?

2. How many Hong Kong Dollars can she change for Rs 508?

Answer-

1. We know that 1 won = Re 0.04

By multiplying both sides by 100,

100 won = 4

Therefore, Astha gets 100 won for Rs 4.

So, for Rs 400, she gets

100 × 100 = 10000 Won

2. We know that 1 HK Dollar = Rs 5.10

It can be written as

= 5 rupees 10 paise

= 5 × 100 + 10 paise

= 500 + 10

= 510 paise

So, the total money with Astha = Rs 508

We can write it as

= 508 × 100

= 50800 paise

Here,

50800 paise = 50490 + 310 paise

By further calculation,

= 510 × 99 + 310 paise

= 510 HKD + 310 paise

We get

310 paise = 300 paise + 10 paise

= 3 rupees 10 paise

= Rs 3. 10

Therefore, Astha can change 99 HK Dollars for Rs 508, and Rs 3.10 is left with her.

(b) What is the difference between the temperatures at 3 pm and 3 am in Chennai? In Bhopal?

NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Chapter 10 Image 48

1.3o C temperature means it would be cold, and water would be frozen to ice. People living there should wear woollen clothes and sit near the fire to keep themselves warm.

(b) The difference in temperature in Chennai is given below.

Temperature at 3 pm = 29.9o C

Temperature at 3 am = 21.1o C

So, the difference = 29.9 – 21.1 = 8.8o C

The difference in temperature in Bhopal is given below.

Temperature at 3 pm = 25.9o C

Temperature at 3 am = 9.8o C

So, the difference = 25.9 – 9.8 = 16.1o C
