Question: 5

Rahul bought 4 kg 60 g of grapes and 5 kg 300 g of mangoes. Find the weight of the fruits he bought in all?

Solution:

Weight of the apples = 4 kg 90 g = 4.090 kg

Weight grapes = 2 kg 60 g = 2.060 kg

Weight of mangoes = 5 kg 300 g = 5.300 kg

Therefore, the total weight of fruits bought by rahul = (4.090 + 2.060 + 5.300) kg

= 11.450 kg

The total weight of the fruits is 11.450 kg

 

Question: 6

Total cloth bought by nasreen is 5.25 m

 

Question: 7

Sunita travels 15 km 268 m by bus, 7 km 7 m by car and 500 m by foot in order to reach her school. How far is her school from her residence?

Solution:

Distance travelled by bus = 15 km 268 m = 15.268 km

Distance travelled by car = 7 km 7m = 7.007 km

Travel on foot = 500m = 0.500 km

Total distance travelled by sunita = (15.268 +7.07 + 0.500) km

= 22.775 km

Therefore, the total distance covered by sunita is 22.775 km
