Question 4

A student said 9,990 is greater than 49,014 because 9 is greater than 4. Is the student correct? Why or Why Not?
Use the number line below to find the position of the numbers. Fill in the blanks.

Accepted Answer

Although 9 is greater than 4, we have to compare the number of digits first.Here, 9,990 has 4 digits and 49,014 has 5 digits.A number with 5 digits is always bigger than a number with 4 digits.So, 49,014 is greater than 9,990.On a number line, the number lying to the right is greater than the number to its left.∴ 9,990

Question 5

Digit swap
(a) In the number 1,478, interchanging the digits 7 and 4 gives 1,748. Now, interchange any two digits in the number 1,478 to make a number that is larger than 5,500

Accepted Answer

To make a number larger than 5,500 from 1,478 interchange the digits 1 and 8 to get 8,471.orInterchange the digits 1 and 7 to get 7,418.(b) Interchange two digits of 10,593 to make a number(i) Between 11,000 and 15,000.(ii) More than 35,000.Solution:(i) Interchange the digits 0 and 3 in 10,593 to get 13,590.So, 13,590 is between 11,000 and 15,000.(ii) Interchange the digits 1 and 5 in 10,593 to get 50,193.orInterchange digits 1 and 9 in 10,593 to get 90,513.So, 50,193 and 90,513 both the numbers are more than 35,000.(c) Interchange two digits of 48,247 to make a number(i) As small as possible.(ii) As big as possible.Solution:(i) Interchange the digits 2 (hundreds place) and 4 (ten thousands place) in 48,247 to get 28,447.(ii) Interchange the digits 4 and 8 in 48,247 to get 84,247.NCERT Textbook Pages 7-8Nearest Tens (10s), Hundreds (100s), and Thousands (1,000)The rabbit is at 2,346.

Vijay rounded off a number to the nearest hundred. Suma rounded off the same number to the nearest thousand. Both got the same result. Circle the numbers they might have used.
7,126 7,835 7,030 6,999

Accepted Answer

Analyse the following numbers:7,126: Rounded to the nearest hundred is 7,100 (since 2 7,835: Rounded to the nearest hundred is 7,800 (since 3  5)7,030: Rounded to the nearest hundred is 7,000 (since 3 6,999: Rounded to the nearest hundred is 7,0 (since 9 > 5) and rounded to the nearest thousand is 7,000 (since 9 > 5).Both 7,030 and 6,999 result in the same value 7,000, when rounded to the nearest hundred and the nearest thousand.Therefore, the numbers they might have used are 7,030 and 6,999.

(a) Nearest ten and nearest hundred.
(b) Nearest hundred and nearest thousand.
(c) Nearest ten, hundred and thousand.

Accepted Answer

(a) Numbers have the same nearest ten and nearest hundred when rounding gives the same result.This happens when a number is very close to a hundred, either just above or just below it.If we round off the numbers from 95 to 104 either 10 or 100, we get 100 in all cases.(b) Numbers have the same nearest hundred and nearest thousand when rounding gives the same result.This happens when a number is very close to a thousand, either just above or just below it.If we round off the numbers from 950 to 1049 either 100 or 1000, we get 1000 in all cases,(c) Numbers have the same nearest ten, hundred and thousand when rounding gives the same result.This happens when a number is very close to a thousand, either just above or just below it.If we round off the numbers from 995 to 1004 either 10, 100 or 1000, we get 1000 in all cases.NCERT Textbook Page 10Let Us Do

Question 10

A school has 461 girls and 439 boys. How many vehicles are needed for all of them to go on a trip using the following modes of travel? The numbers in the bracket indicates the number of people that can travel in one vehicle.
(a) Bicycle (2)
(b) Autorickshaw (3)
(c) Car (4)
(d) Big car (6)
(e) Tempo traveller (10)
(f) Boat (20)
(g) Minibus (25)
(h) Aeroplane (180)

Accepted Answer

Total number of students in school = 461 + 439 = 900(a) In a bicycle, only 2 people can travel, so the number of bicycles needed for all ofthem to go on a trip = $\frac{1}{2}$ = 450.(b) In an auto rickshaw, only 3 people can travel, so the number of auto rickshaws needed for all of them to go on a trip = $\frac{900}{3}$ = 300.(c) In a car, only 4 people can travel, so the number of cars needed for all of them to go on a trip = $\frac{900}{4}$ = 225.(d) In a big car, only 6 people can travel, so the number of big cars needed for all of them to go on a trip = $\frac{900}{6}$ = 150.(e) In a tempo traveller, only 10 people can travel, so the number of tempo travellers needed for all of them to go on a trip = $\frac{900}{10}$ = 90(f) In a boat, only 20 people can travel, so the number of boats needed for all of them to go on a trip = $\frac{900}{20}$ = 45.(g) In a minibus, only 25 people can travel, so the number of minibuses needed for all of them to go on a trip = $\frac{900}{25}$ = 36(h) In an aeroplane, 180 people can travel, so the number of aeroplanes needed for all of them to go on a trip = $\frac{900}{180}$ = 5.NCERT Textbook Pages 10-11Finding Large Numbers Around UsA book has around 200 pages, and each page has about 50 words.

Accepted Answer

(b) Write 7,934 in expanded form7,934 = 7,000 + 900 + 30 + 4 Here, the number of hundreds in 900 is 9, the number of hundreds in 7,000 is 70, so the total number of ₹ 100 notes in ₹ 7,934 is 70 + 9 = 79.(c) Write 7,934 in expanded form7,934 = 7,000 + 900 + 30 + 4.Here, the number of thousands in 7,000 is 7.So, the number of thousands in ₹ 7,934 is 7.(d) Write 7,934 in expanded form7,934 = 7,000 + 900 + 30 + 4.Here, the number of 500s in 900 is 1, and the number of 500s in 7,000 is 14.So, the number of ^500 notes in ₹ 7,934 is 1 + 14 = 15.(e) Write 65,342 in expanded form65,342 = 60,000 + 5,000 + 300 + 40 + 2Here, the number of tens in 40 is 4, the number of tens in 300 is 30, the number of tens in 5,000 is 500, and the number of tens in 60,000 is 6,000.So, the total number of ^10 notes in ₹ 65,342 is 6,000 + 500 + 30 + 4 = 6,534.(f) Write 65,342 in expanded form65,342 = 60,000 + 5,000 + 300 + 40 + 2Here, the number of 100s in 300 is 3, the number of 100s in 5,000 is 50, and the number of 100s in 60,000 is 600.So, the total number of ₹ 100 notes in ₹ 65,342 is 600 + 50 + 3 = 653.(g) Write 65,342 in expanded form65,342 = 60,000 + 5,000 + 300 + 40 + 2Here, the number of thousands in 5,000 is 5, and the number of thousands in 60,000 is 60.So, the total number of thousands in ₹ 65,342 is 60 + 5 = 65.(h) Write 65,342 in expanded form65,342 = 60,000 + 5,000 + 300 + 40 + 2Here, the number of 500s in 5,000 is 10, and the number of 500s in 60,000’is 120.So the number of ₹ 500 notes in ₹ 65,342 is 120 + 10 = 130.NCERT Textbook Pages 15-16King’s HorsesOnce upon a time, there was a king who was very fond of horses. He had 20 horses of the best breed. The horses were kept in the royal stable, and cared for by a caretaker. One night, a thief stole one of the horses. Fearing punishment, the caretaker arranged the horses in the stable as shown in the picture here. The next day, when the king came to check on the horses, the caretaker led him around the square stable. “Please count the number of horses along each side, your majesty,” he said. King’s HorsesThe king counted 5 horses along each side. “We have 5 horses along each side and there are 4 sides. So there are a total of 20 horses, your majesty,” the caretaker explained.Satisfid with the explanation, the king returned to his palace.But wait, were there really 20 horses in the stable? Count the horses one by one and check! What was the mistake in the caretaker’s explanation?Solution:Caretaker counted corner horses twice, making it look like there were 20 horses when there were fewer.The following night, the thief stole another horse from the stable. Now, only 18 horses remained. The caretaker once again cleverly arranged the 18 horses, so that there were 5 horses on each side of the square stable. How do you think he was able to do it? Arrange the 18 horses in the stable with 5 on each side.Solution:2 horses + 2 horses in middle on each sides and 1 horses on top left corner and on bottom right corner.How many more horses can the thief steal before the king notices something is wrong? Try making the arrangements yourself.Solution:Hence, caretaker can arrange 10 horses in such a way that it appears 5 horses on each sides.Therefore, the thief can steal upto 10 horses bringing the total down to 10.
