Question 8.
Namita travels 20 km 50 m every day. Out of this she travels 10 km 200 m by bus and the rest by auto. How much distance does she travel by auto?
Solution:
Distance travelled everyday
= 20 km 50 m = 20 km + 50 m
= 20 km + $$\frac{50}{1000}$$ km
= 20 km + 0.050 km [∵ $$\frac{1}{1000}$$km = 0.001 km]
= (20 + 0.050) km = 20.050 km
Distance travelled by bus
= 10 km 200 m = 10 km + 200 m
= 10 km + $$\frac{200}{1000}$$ km
= 10 km + 0.200 km [∵ $$\frac{1}{1000}$$ km = 0.001 km]
= (10 + 0.200) km = 10.200 km
∴ Distance travelled by auto
= 20.050 km – 10.200 km = 9.850 km

Question 9.
Ravi purchased 5 kg 400 g rice, 2 kg 20 g sugar and 10 kg 850 g flour (aata). Find the total weight of his purchases.
Solution:
Weight of rice purchased
= 5 kg 400 g = 5 kg + 400 g
= 5 kg + $$\frac{400}{1000}$$ kg [∵ 1 g = $$\frac{1}{1000}$$ kg]
= 5 kg + 0.400 kg
= (5 + 0.400) kg = 5.400 kg
Weight of sugar purchased
= 2 kg 20 g = 2 kg + 20 g
= 2 kg = $$\frac{20}{1000}$$ kg [∵ 1 g = $$\frac{1}{1000}$$ kg]
= 2 kg + 0.020 kg = 2.020 kg
Weight of flour purchased
= 10 kg 850 g = 10 kg + 850 g
= 10 kg + $$\frac{850}{1000}$$ kg [∵ 1 g = $$\frac{1}{1000}$$ kg]
= 10 kg + 0.850 kg
= (10 + 0.850) kg = 10.850 kg
∴ Total weight of his purchases is

Question 10.
1 kg of pure milk contains 0.263 kg of fat. How much fat is there 15.5 kg of milk?
