Q: Answer the following questions. (a) 5,000 kg = ____ quintals = ____ tonne (b) 9,000 kg = ____ quintals (c) ____ kg = 8 tonnes

(a) 100 kg = 1 quintal5,000 kg = $\frac{5,000}{100}$ quintals= 50 quintalsAlso, 10 quintals = 1 tonne50 quintal = $\frac{50}{10}$ tonnes= 5 tonneTherefore, 5,000 kg = 50 quintals = 5 tonne(b) 9,000 kg = $\frac{9,000}{100}$ quintals= 90 quintals(c) 1 tonne = 1,000 kg8 tonnes = 8 × 1,000 kg = 8,000 kgTherefore, 8,000 kg = 8 tonnes.NCERT Textbook Page 109King’s WeightIn a kingdom, the king donates wheat grains equal to 10 times his weight on his birthday.(a) If he donates 800 kg of wheat grain this birthday, what is his current weight?Solution:The king donates 800 kg of wheat grains on his birthday. It means 10 times the weight of the king this birthday is 800 kg. Therefore, 10 x king’s weight = 800 kgSo, king’s weight = $\frac{800}{10}$ kg= 80 kg(b) If he had donated 780 kg of wheat grain on his last birthday, what was his weight last year?Solution:The king donated 780 kg of wheat grains on his last birthday. It means 10 times the king’s weight last year = 780 kg. •So king’s weight last year = $\frac{780}{10}$ kg= 80 kg(c) How much weight did he gain in a year until this birthday?Solution:Weight gain = Weight of the king on this birthday – Weight of the king on last birthday= 80 kg – 78 kg= 2 kgNCERT Textbook Page 111Let Us Do

Question 3

Harpreet’s family planned a picnic over the weekend. Her mother and father packed different food items to take along. The following is the list of fruits they carried.
Among the fruits they carried, which one has the
(a) highest weight?
(b) least weight?
(c) Arrange the items in descending order of their weight.

Accepted Answer

(a) Weight of the watermelon = 3 kg = 3,000 gWeight of the pineapple = 1 kg 750 g= 1,750 gWeight of the apples = 1 kg 250 g= 1,250 gWeight of the mangoes = 2 kg = 2,000 gAmong these weights, 3,000g is the highest, which is the weight of the watermelon.Therefore, among the fruits they carried, watermelon has the highest weight.(b) Among the given weights, 1,250g is the least, which is the weight of the apples. Therefore, among the fruits they carried, apples have the least weight.(c) The decreasing order of weights is:3,0 g > 2,000 g > 1,750 g > 1,250 gTherefore, the items in decreasing order of their weights are: Watermelon, Mangoes, Pineapple, Apples.
