Question 123.

Which one is greater?

1 metre 40 centimetres + 60 centimetres or 2.6 metres.


Answer:

1 metre = 100 centimetre


Now we have 1 metre 40centimetre + 60 centimetre


we have 40 cm + 60 cm =100cm 1metre

Question 124.

Match the fractions of Column I with the shaded or marked portion of figures of Column II:



Answer:

(i) = D



As we can see in the figure, there are two circles, when we divide the circles into two halves we get 4 parts. Therefore both the circles are divided into 4 halves.


Now when we divide these 4 parts again we will get 8 parts as we can see in the figure.


Now we can see that 6 sub parts are shaded out of 4 intitial half of the circle therefore we get the fraction as


(ii) = A



As we can see in the figure from 0 to 2 it is sub divided into 10 parts. Out of these 10 parts 6 parts are shaded so we get the fraction as


(iii) = E



As we can see in the figure there are 6 boxes and all the 6 boxes are shaded therefore we get the fraction as


(iv) = B



As we can see in the figure there are 16 boxes and out of the 16 boxes only 6 are shaded therefore we get the fraction as
