Q6: The cost of 4 12 meters of cloth is Rs. 8512. find the cost of one meter cloth.
Ans: The cost of 4 12 meters of cloth is Rs. 8512.
Convert mixed fractions: 4 12 = 92, 85 12 = 1712.
Cost per meter: 171292 = 1719 = 19.
Q7: Simplify (-58 × 37 × 4-15) + ( 47 × -218)
Ans: 1. First Term:
-58 × 37 × 4-15 = 114
2. Second Term:
47 × -218 = -32
3. Add:
114 + -32 = -107
Q8: A stairway consists of 14 stairs, each 32 57 cm high. What is the vertical height of the stairways?
Ans: 1. Convert the mixed fraction 32 57 to an improper fraction:
32 × 7 + 57 = 224 + 57 = 2297 cm.
2. Total height of the stairway = 14 x 2297
= 14 × 2297 = 32067 = 458 cm.
Q9: Arrange the rational numbers -710, 5-8, 2-3 in the ascending order.
Ans: Converting them into same denominator by using LCM
-710 = -84120, 5-8 = -75 120, 2-3 = -80120.
So Ascending order will be
-84120 < -80120 < -75120
Therefore, correct order become: -710 < 2-3 < 5 -8.
