Question

Express as Rupee (Rs) using decimals:


(i) 15 paisa
(ii) 5 paisa
(iii) 350 paisa
(iv) 2 rupees 60 paisa

Answer 1

(i) 15 paisa
We know that 100 paisa = Rs 1.
Therefore, 1 paisa = Rs 1/100.
15 paisa = 15/100 = Rs 0.15

(ii) 5 paisa
We know that 100 paisa = Rs 1.
Therefore, 1 paisa = Rs 1/100.
5 paisa = 5/100 = Rs 0.05

(iii) 350 paisa
We know that 100 paisa = Rs 1.
Therefore, 1 paisa = Rs 1/100.
350 paisa = 350/100 = Rs 3.50

(iv) 2 rupees 60 paisa
We know that 100 paisa = Rs 1.
Therefore, 1 paisa = Rs 1/100.
2 rupees and 60 paisa = $2+\frac{60}{100}$
= Rs 2.60
