(a) 19.4
(b) 0.3
(c) 10.6
(d) 205.9
Answer:

 

Question 3.
Write each of the following as decimals :
(a) Seven-tenths
(b) Two-tens and nine-tenths
(c) Fourteen point six
(d) One hundred and two-ones
(e) Six hundred point eight
Answer:
(a) Seven-tenths = 7 × $\frac{1}{10}=\frac{7}{10}$ = 0.7

(b) Two-tens and nine-tenths
= 2 tens + 0 ones + 9 tenths
= 2 × 10 + 0 × 1 + 9 × $\frac{1}{10}$
= 20 + 0 + $\frac{9}{10}$ = 20.9

(c) Fourteen point six = 14.6

(d) One hundred and two ones
= 1 hundred + 0 tens + 2 ones
= 1 × 100 + 0 × 10 + 2 × 1 
= 100 + 0 + 2 = 102

(e) Six hundred point eight = 600.8 

Question 4.
Write each of the following as decimals:
(a) $\frac{5}{10}$
Answer:
$\frac{5}{10}$ = 0.5

(b) 3 + $\frac{7}{10}$
Answer:
3 + $\frac{7}{10}$ = 3 + 0.7 = 3.7

(c) 200 + 60 + 5 + $\frac{1}{10}$
Answer:
200 + 60 + 5 + $\frac{1}{10}$  = 265 + 0.1 = 265.1

(d) 70 + $\frac{8}{10}$
Answer:
70 + $\frac{8}{10}$ = 70 + 0.8 = 70.8

(e) $\frac{88}{10}$
Answer:
$\frac{88}{10}=\frac{80+8}{10}=\frac{80}{10}+\frac{8}{10}$
=  8 + 0.8 = 8.8

(f) 4$\frac{2}{10}$
Answer:
4$\frac{2}{10}$ = 4 + $\frac{2}{10}$ = 4 + 0.2 = 4.2

(g) $\frac{3}{2}$
Answer:
$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{3 \times 5}{2 \times 5}=\frac{15}{10}=\frac{10+5}{10}=\frac{10}{10}+\frac{5}{10}$
= 1 + 0.5 = 1.5

(h) $\frac{2}{5}$
Answer:
$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{4}{10}$ = 0.4

(i) $\frac{12}{5}$
Answer:
$\frac{12}{5}=\frac{12 \times 2}{5 \times 2}=\frac{24}{10}=\frac{20+4}{10}$
= $\frac{20}{10}+\frac{4}{10}$ = 2 + 0.4 = 2.4

(j) 3$\frac{3}{5}$
Answer:
3 $\frac{3}{5}$ = 3 + $\frac{3}{5}$ = 3 + $\frac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 2}$ = 3 + $\frac{6}{10}$
= 3 + 0.6 = 3.6

(k) 4$\frac{1}{2}$
Answer:
4 $\frac{1}{2}$ = 4 + $\frac{1}{2}$ = 4 + $\frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5}$ = 4 + $\frac{5}{10}$
= 4 + 0.5 = 4.5

Question 5.
Write the following decimals as fractions. Reduce the fractions to lowest form:
(a) 0.6
Answer:
0.6 = $\frac{6}{10}=\frac{6 \div 2}{10 \div 2}=\frac{3}{5}$
{∵ HCF of 6, 10 = 2}

(b) 2.5
Answer:
2.5 = $\frac{25}{10}=\frac{25 \div 5}{10 \div 5}=\frac{5}{2}$
{∵ H.C.F of25, 10 = 5}

(c) 1.0
Answer:
1.0 = $\frac{10}{10}=\frac{10 \div 10}{10 \div 10}=\frac{1}{1}$ = 1
{∵ HCF of 10, 10 = 10}

(d) 3.8
Answer:
3.8 = $\frac{38}{10}=\frac{38 \div 2}{10 \div 2}=\frac{19}{5}$
{∵HCF of 38, 10 = 2}

(e) 13.7
Answer:
13.7 = $\frac{137}{10}$

(f) 21.2
Answer:
21.2 = $\frac{212}{10}=\frac{212 \div 2}{10 \div 2}=\frac{106}{5}$
{∵ HCF of 212, 10 = 2}

(g) 6.4
Answer:
6.4 = $\frac{64}{10}=\frac{64 \div 2}{10 \div 2}=\frac{32}{5}$
{∵ HCF of 64, 10 = 2}

Question 9.
Write the decimal number represented by the points A, B, C, D on the given number line :

Answer:
(a) Since point A lies between 0 and 1, when 0 and 1 is divided into 10 equal parts, and 8 parts have been taken, so A represent 0.8.
(b) As the unit length between 1 and 2 have been divided into 10 equal parts and 3 parts have been taken, so B represent 1.3.
(c) Since C lies between 2 and 3, where unit length between 2 and 3 is divided into 10 equal parts and 2 parts have been taken, so C represent 2.2.
(d) Since D lies between 2 and 3 and unit length between 2 and 3 is divided into 10 equal parts and 9 parts have been taken, so D represent 2.9.

Question 10.
(a) The length of Ramesh's notebook is 9 cm 5 mm. What will be its length in cm?
(b) The length of a young gram plant is 65 mm. Express its length in cm.
Answer:
(a) Length of Ramesh’s notebook = 9 cm 5 mm 
= 9 cm + 5 mm
= 9 cm + $\frac{5}{10}$ cm
= 9 cm + 0.5 cm = 9.5 cm

(b) Length of young gram plant = 65 mm
= 60 mm + 5 mm 60 5
= $\frac{60}{10}$ cm + $\frac{5}{10}$ cm
= 6 cm + 0.5 cm = 6.5 cm
