3 Answers ID : cn-6-decimals [3] (1) 2.27 We know that is not a prime number. On close observation, we find that the nearest prime number less than is 13. Therefore, the smallest number that should be subtracted from to make it prime = = (2) The Tenths Place In order to find the place value which is times smaller than the Ten Thousands place, let us divide by : = Let us see what is the place of 1 in the number 0.1: Thousands Ones Tenths Hundredths Thousandths Ten thousandths TTH TH H T O. (1/10) (1/100) (1/1000) (1/10000) 0. 1 Legend: TTH - Ten Thousands, TH - Thousands, H - Hundreds, T - Tens, O - Ones. We see that 1 is placed in the Tenths place. Therefore, the place times smaller than the Ten Thousands place is called the Tenths place.

4 (3) ID : cn-6-decimals [4] In order to multiply the two decimal numbers, let us first find out the position of the decimal point in the final product. Let us first count the number of decimal places in both the multiplicands. The total number of decimal places in the product will be the sum of the number of decimal places in both the multiplicands. In the number 5.6, there is 1 decimal place and in 2.77, there are 2 decimal places. Hence, there will be a total of 3 decimal places in the final product. Step 4 Now, let us multiply the two numbers just like whole numbers, and in the final product, place the decimal point such that there are 3 decimal places (i.e. after 3 places from the right): x Step 5 Now, put the decimal point after three places from right. Therefore, = (4) 7 Ten thousandths Let us draw the place value chart to find where the digit 7 is placed in the given number: Lakhs Thousands Ones Tenths Hundredths Thousandths Ten thousandths TL L TTH TH H T O. (1/10) (1/100) (1/1000) (1/10000) Legend: TL - Ten Lakhs, L - Lakhs, TTH - Ten Thousands, TH - Thousands, H - Hundreds, T - Tens, O - Ones. From the above table, we observe that 7 is placed under the Ten thousandths place. Hence, the place value of 7 in is 7 Ten thousandths.

5 (5) kg ID : cn-6-decimals [5] The number of loads of bricks = 9.5 Total weight of all the loads together = kg In order to find the weight of one load, we need to divide the total weight by the number of loads. Step 4 Therefore, the weight of one load is = kg. (6) 96.84

6 (7) 0.32 ID : cn-6-decimals [6] If we look at the figure, we notice that, there are a total of 100 boxes. 15 of 100 represents Therefore, 1 of 100 represents = = 0.01 The difference of the boxes in the given figures = 39-7 = 32 Hence, 32 of 100 represents = Thus, the result of = 0.32 is (8) liters Quantity of grape juice sold on Thursday = liters Quantity of grape juice sold on next day (i.e. Friday) = = liters Quantity of grape juice sold on the day following Friday, i.e., Saturday = = liters Step 4 Hence, liters of cranberry juice was sold on Saturday.

7 (9) m. ID : cn-6-decimals [7] Distance covered by the snail by crawling for an hour (60 minutes) = 2610 cm Distance covered in 1 minute = 2610 cm 60 = meters Therefore, the distance covered by the snail in 15 minutes = = m 15 (10) Quantity of lemonade sold on Tuesday = liters Quantity of lemonade sold on the next day (i.e. Wednesday) = = liters Total quantity of lemonade sold in two days = = liters

8 (11) ID : cn-6-decimals [8] Decimals with the same number of decimal places are called Like Decimals. The numbers given here are therefore Like Decimals. We need to subtract from Therefore, must be placed on top and below that. The digits of the two numbers must be placed according to their place values. Let us now do the subtraction of the two numbers digit by digit, starting from the hundredths and borrowing if needed: Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones. Tenth Hundredth Step 4 Hence, when we subtract from , we get (12) 0.5 Let us first write the given number name as a fraction: 5 10 Converting the fraction into a decimal number, we get: 5 10 = 0.5

9 (13) 14 ID : cn-6-decimals [9] Total length of the ribbon = 16.8 meters Length of one piece of the ribbon = 1.2 meters Number of pieces of the ribbon = Total length of the ribbon Length of one piece of the ribbon = = 14 Hence, we get 14 pieces of the ribbon. (14) 0.42 (15) 0.87 m. The total distance (in cm) the snail crawls: 48 cm + 39 cm = 87 cm Now, let us convert the distance 87 cm (centimetres) into meters. We know that: 100 cm = 1 m Therefore, 87 cm = 87 m = 0.87 m 100 Hence, the snail crawls 0.87 m in total.
