(b) 1 centimetre = _____ millimetres.
Solution:
1 centimetre = 10 millimetres.

(c) 1 kilometre = _____ millimetres.
Solution:
1 kilometre = 10,00,000 millimetres.
We know that, 1 km = 1000 meters.
1 metre = 100 centimetre
1000 metre = 1000 × 100
= 1,00,000 centimetre
1 cm = 10 millimetres

FAQs on NCERT Exemplar Solutions: Number System - Mathematics (Maths) Class 6

1. What are the different types of numbers in the number system?
Ans. The number system consists of different types of numbers such as natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers. Natural numbers are positive whole numbers starting from 1. Whole numbers include all natural numbers along with zero. Integers are made up of positive and negative whole numbers. Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions and can be represented on a number line. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as fractions and have non-repeating and non-terminating decimal expansions.
2. How can we determine if a number is rational or irrational?
Ans. To determine if a number is rational or irrational, we can express it in decimal form. If the decimal representation terminates or repeats, then the number is rational. For example, 0.5, 1.25, and 2.333... are rational numbers. On the other hand, if the decimal representation does not terminate or repeat, then the number is irrational. For example, √2, π, and e are irrational numbers.
3. What is the difference between rational and irrational numbers?
Ans. Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions and have terminating or repeating decimal representations. Irrational numbers, on the other hand, cannot be expressed as fractions and have non-terminating and non-repeating decimal representations. Another difference is that rational numbers can be represented on a number line, while irrational numbers are represented by points between rational numbers on a number line.
4. Can a number be both rational and irrational?
Ans. No, a number cannot be both rational and irrational. A number can only belong to either of the two categories. If a number can be expressed as a fraction or has a repeating or terminating decimal representation, it is rational. If it cannot be expressed as a fraction and has a non-repeating and non-terminating decimal representation, it is irrational.
5. How can we determine if a number is prime or composite?
Ans. To determine if a number is prime or composite, we need to check if it has any factors other than 1 and itself. If a number has only two factors, 1 and itself, then it is prime. For example, 5 and 17 are prime numbers. If a number has factors other than 1 and itself, then it is composite. For example, 4 and 15 are composite numbers.
