## Exercise 3A

Convert each of the following into a fraction in its simplest from:

(i) .8

Solution:-

Now write the given decimal without the decimal point as the numerator of the fraction.

In the denominator, write 1 followed by as many zeros as there are decimal places in the given decimal.

Then we have,

= .8 = (8/10)

Now reduce the above fraction to the simplest form.

= (8/10) … [÷ by 2]

= (4/5)

Solution:-

Now write the given decimal without the decimal point as the numerator of the fraction.

In the denominator, write 1 followed by as many zeros as there are decimal places in the given decimal.

Then we have,

= .75 = (75/100)

Now reduce the above fraction to the simplest form.

= (75/100) … [÷ by 5]

= (3/4)

= (52/25) … [÷ 25]

= 2.08

4. 6cm =?

a)0.006km b)0.0006km c)0.00006km d)none of these

Solution:-

C) 0.00006km

WKT,

=1m = 100 cm

Then,

= 6cm

= (6/100) m

= 0.06m

WKT,

= 1km = 1000m

Then,

= 0.06m

= (0.06/1000)

= (0.00006) km

5. 70 g =?

a)0.7kg b)0.07kg c)0.007kg d)none of these

Solution:-

B) 0.07kg

WKT,

= 1 kg = 1000g

= 70 g

= (70/1000)

= 0.07 kg

6. 5kg 6g =?

a)5.0006kg b) 5.06kg c)5.006kg d) 5.6kg

Solution:-

C) 5.006kg

WKT,

= 1 kg = 1000g

= 5kg = 5000g

= 5000 + 6

= 5006g

= (5006/1000)

= 5.006kg

7. 2 km 5 m =?

a)2.5km b)2.05km c)2.005km d)2.0005km

Solution:-

c) 2.005km

WKT,

= 1 km = 1000m

= 2 km = 2000m

= 2000 + 5

= 2005m

= (2005/1000)

8. (1.007-0.7) =?

a)1 b)0.37 c)0.307 d)none of these

Solution:-

C) 0.307

First convert the given decimals into like decimals

= (1.007 – 0.700)

= 0.307

9. What should be subtracted from 0.1 to get 0.03?

a)0.7 b) 0.07 c)0.007 d)none of these

Solution:-

C) 0.07

Let us assume the missing number be x,

Then,

= 0.1 – x = 0.03

By sending – x from left hand side to the right hand side it become x and 0.03 from right hand side to the left hand side it become -0.03. We get,

= 0.1 – 0.03 = x

= 0.07

10. What should be added to 3.07 to get 3.5?

0.57 b)0.34 c)0.43 d)0.02

Solution:-

C) 0.43

Let us assume the missing number be x,

Then,

= 3.07 + x = 3.5

By sending 3.07 from left hand side to the right hand side it become -3.07. We get,

= 3.5 – 3.07 = x

= 0.43
