(i) Rs 18 and 25 paise in rupees
(ii) Rs 9 and 8 paise in rupees
(iii) 32 paise in rupees
(iv) 5 paise in rupees

Answer 1

(i) Rs 18 and 25 paise in rupees:
Rs 18 + 25 paise = Rs 18 + Rs $\frac{25}{100}$ [Since Re 1 = 100 paise]
Rs 18 + Rs 0.25 = Rs 18.25

(ii) Rs 9 and 8 paise in rupees:
Rs 9 + 8 paise = Rs 9 + Rs $\frac{8}{100}$ [Since Re 1 = 100 paise]
Rs 9 + Rs 0.08 = Rs 9.08

(iii) 32 paise in rupees:
32 paise = Rs $\frac{32}{100}$ = Rs 0.32 [Since Re 1 = 100 paise]

(iv) 5 paise in rupees:
5 paise = Rs $\frac{5}{100}$ = Rs 0.05 [Since Re 1 = 100 paise]
