(19) If the school bag of Neelam and Garima weigh 6 kg 80 g and 5 kg 265 g respectively, whose bag is heavier and how much?

Answer:

Weight of Neelam’s bag = 6080 g {converting into grams: 6 kg + 80 g = (6000 + 80) g = 6080 g}

Weight of Garima’s bag = -5265 g {converting into grams: 5 kg + 265 g = (5000 + 265) g = 5265 g}

Difference of the weight of bag = 815 g

Thus, the weight of Neelam’s school bag is more than that of Garima’s school bag by 815 gram, i.e. by 0.815 kg.

(20) Kunal purchased a notebook for Rs 19.75, a pencil for Rs 3.85 and a pen for Rs 8.35 from a book shop. He gave a 50 Rs note to the shopkeeper. What amount did he get back?

Answer:

Cost of notebook = Rs 19.75

Cost of pencil = Rs 3.85

Cost of pen = + Rs 8.35

Total cost payable = Rs31.95

Total money paid = Rs 50.00

Total money spent= – Rs 31.95

Balance = Rs 18.05

Thus, Kunal got back Rs 18.05 from the shopkeeper.

(21) Sunita purchased 5 kg 75 g of fruit and 3 kg 465 g of vegetables, and put them in a bag. If this bag with these contents weight 9 kg, find the weight of the empty bag.

Answer:

Weight of the fruits = 5 kg 075 g

Weight of the vegetables = + 3 kg 465 g

Total weight of the content of the bag = 8 kg 540 g

Total weight of the bag with its content = 9 kg 000 g

Total weight of the contents of the bag = – 8 kg 540 g

Weight of the empty bag = 0 kg 460 g

Thus, the weight of the empty bag is 460 grams.

22. The distance between Reeta’s house and her office is 14 km. She covers 10 km 65 m by scooter. 3 km 75 m by bus and the rest on foot. How much distance does she cover by walking?

Answer:

Converting into meters:

10 km 65 m = (10 + 0.065) m = 10.065 m

3 km 75 m = (3 + 0.075) m = 3.075 m

Distance covered by the scooter = 10.065 km

Distance covered by the bus = +3.075 km

Total distance covered by the bus and the scooter = 13.140 km

Total distance between the house and the office = 14.000 km

Total distance covered by the bus and the scooter = -13.140 km

Distance covered on foot = 0.860 km

Therefore, distance covered by walking = 0.860 km = 860 meters.
