Q11Written answer

The distance between the school and a student’s house is 1 km 875 m. Every day, she walks both ways. Find the total distance covered by her in six days.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Distance covered between the school and her house = 1 km 875 m = 1000 + 875 = 1875 m

Since the student walks both ways,

The distance travelled by the student in one day = 2 × 1875 = 3750 m

Distance travelled by the student in 6 days = 3750 m × 6 = 22500 m = 22 km 500 m

∴ The total distance covered by the student in six days is 22 km and 500 m.

Q12Written answer

A vessel has 4 litres and 500 ml of curd. In how many glasses, each of 25 ml capacity, can it be filled?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Quantity of curd in the vessel = 4 l 500 ml = 4 × 1000 + 500 = 4500 ml

Capacity of 1 glass = 25 ml

∴ Number of glasses that can be filled with curd = 4500 / 25 = 180 glasses

Hence, 180 glasses can be filled with curd.
