(1) 42

Step 1
The weight of each bag of apples = 1.2 kg

Step 2
Total weight of bags of apples in the sack = 50.4 kg

Step 3
Number of bags of apples in the sack = 50.4 ÷ 1.2 = 42 bags

Step 4
Hence, there are 42 bags in the sack.

(2) Rs. 0.26

Step 1
Cost of 34 pins that Eva purchased = €8.84

Step 2
Therefore, the cost of 1 pin = 8.84 ÷ 34 = €0.26

Step 3
Hence, the cost of one pin is €0.26.

(3) 0.55 m.

Step 1
The total distance (in cm) the snail crawls: 22 cm + 33 cm = 55 cm

Step 2
Now, let us convert the distance 55 cm (centimetres) into meters . We know that: 100 cm = 1 m
55
Therefore, 55 cm = m = 0.55 m
100

Step 3
Hence, the snail crawls 0.55 m in total.
(4) 325.5

Step 1
Quantity of orange juice sold on Friday = 156.51 liters

Step 2
Quantity of orange juice sold on the next day (i.e. Saturday) = 156.51 + 12.48 = 168.99 liters

Step 3
Total quantity of orange juice sold in two days = 156.51 + 168.99 = 325.5 liters

(5) 870005.9

Step 1
First, let us convert the number names into numerals as below:
87 Ten Thousands = 87 × 10000 = 870000
59 Tenths = 59 ÷ 10 = 5.9

Step 2
Let us now add the two numbers:
| Lakhs| Thousands| Ones| Tenths| Hundredths| Thousandths| Ten thousandths|
| TL| L| TTH| TH| H| T| O| . (1/10)| (1/100)| (1/1000)| (1/10000)|
+ 8 7 0 0 0 0 . 0 0 0 0
+ 5 . 9 0 0 0

Total 8 7 0 0 0 5 . 9 0 0 0

Legend:
TL - Ten Lakhs, L - Lakhs, TTH - Ten Thousands, TH - Thousands, H - Hundreds, T - Tens, O -
Ones.

Step 3
Thus, 87 Ten Thousands + 59 Tenths = 870005.9
(6) 2 Tenths

Step 1
Let us draw the place value chart to find where the digit 2 is placed in the given number: 7152639
| Lakhs| Thousands| Ones| Tenths| Hundredths| Thousandths| Ten thousandths|
| TL| L| TTH| TH| H| T| O| . (1/10)| (1/100)| (1/1000)| (1/10000)|
7 1 5 . 2 6 3 9

Legend:
TL - Ten Lakhs, L - Lakhs, TTH - Ten Thousands, TH - Thousands, H - Hundreds, T - Tens, O -
Ones.

Step 2
From the above table, we observe that 2 is placed under the Tenths place.

Step 3
Hence, the place value of 2 in 715.2639 is 2 Tenths.

(7) 95.0001
(8) 18

Step 1
Total length of the thread = 27 meters
Length of one piece of the thread = 1.5 meters

Step 2
Total length of the thread
Number of pieces of the thread =
Length of one piece of the thread
27
=
1.5
= 18

Step 3
Hence, we get 18 pieces of the thread.
(9) 200.058

Step 1
Let us first convert the number names into numerals:
2 Thousandths = 2 ÷ 1000 = 0.002
56 Thousandths = 56 ÷ 1000 = 0.056
2 Hundreds = 2 × 100 = 200

Step 2
Let us first add the decimal numbers as below:
| Lakhs| Thousands| Ones| Tenths| Hundredths| Thousandths| Ten thousandths|
| TL| L| TTH| TH| H| T| O| . (1/10)| (1/100)| (1/1000)| (1/10000)|
+ 0 . 0 0 2 0
+ 0 . 0 5 6 0

Total 0 . 0 5 8 0

Legend:
TL - Ten Lakhs, L - Lakhs, TTH - Ten Thousands, TH - Thousands, H - Hundreds, T - Tens, O -
Ones.

Step 3
Let us now add the decimal numbers to the whole number:
| Lakhs| Thousands| Ones| Tenths| Hundredths| Thousandths| Ten thousandths|
| TL| L| TTH| TH| H| T| O| . (1/10)| (1/100)| (1/1000)| (1/10000)|
+ 0 . 0 5 8 0
+ 2 0 0 . 0 0 0 0

Total 2 0 0 . 0 5 8 0

Step 4
Therefore, by adding 2 Thousandths and 56 Thousandths together to 2 Hundreds, we get
200.058.
(10) 23.53

Step 1
Let us first find the sum of the like Decimal numbers 347.2 and 51.33. Decimals with the same
number of decimal places are called like Decimals.

Step 2
Let us add starting from the hundredths place and carry over, if needed. We should keep in mind
that the decimal point in the answer will be placed at the same place as in the addends:
Ten Thousands Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones . Tenth Hundredth
3 4 7 . 2 0
+ 5 1 . 3 3

3 9 8 . 5 3

Step 3
Let us now subtract the sum 398.53 from 422.06 by placing the digits of these two like Fractions
according to their place values:
Ten Thousands Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones . Tenth Hundredth
4 2 2 . 0 6
- 3 9 8 . 5 3

0 2 3 . 5 3

Step 4
Hence, when we subtract the sum of 347.2 and 51.33 from 422.06, we get 23.53.
(11) 2.964

Step 1
In order to multiply the two decimal numbers, let us first find out the position of the decimal point in
the final product.

Step 2
Let us first count the number of decimal places in both the multiplicands. The total number of
decimal places in the product will be the sum of the number of decimal places in both the
multiplicands.

Step 3
In the number 1.9, there is 1 decimal place and in 1.56, there are 2 decimal places.
Hence, there will be a total of 3 decimal places in the final product.

Step 4
Now, let us multiply the two numbers just like whole numbers, and in the final product, place the
decimal point such that there are 3 decimal places (i.e. after 3 places from the right):
1 5 6
x 1 9

1 4 0 4
1 5 6 0

2 9 6 4

Step 5
Now, put the decimal point after three places from right. Therefore,
1.56 × 1.9 = 2.964

(12) 0.5

Step 1
Let us first write the given number name as a fraction:
5
10

Step 2
Converting the fraction into a decimal number, we get:
5
= 0.5
10
(13) 86.4

Step 1
Let us first find the number of hours in 3 days.

Step 2
One day has 24 hours. Therefore, number of hours in 3 days = 24 × 3 = 72 hours.

Step 3
The slug can crawl 3.12 meters in 2.6 hours. Therefore, the distance it can crawl in 1 hour will be:
3.12
= 1.2 meters.
2.6

Step 4
To find the distance it can crawl in 72 hours, we will multiply 1.2 with 72, which comes out to be
86.4.

Step 5
Hence, the slug can crawl 86.4 meters in 3 days.

(14) 223.32

Step 1
Decimals with the same number of decimal places are called Like Decimals. The numbers given
here are therefore Like Decimals.

Step 2
In order to add the given Like Decimals, let us arrange the digits according to their place value,
i.e., one below the other to make sure that the decimals are also placed exactly below each other.
In this manner, we will place the ones digit below the ones, the tenths digit below the tenths ,and
so on.

Step 3
We should remember that the decimal point in the answer should be placed at the same place as
in the addends.

Step 4
Let us add the numbers, digit by digit, starting from the hundredths and carry over, if needed:
Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones . Tenth Hundredth
1 3 0 . 8 2
+ 9 2 . 5 0

2 2 3 . 3 2

Step 5
Hence, when we add the decimals 130.82 and 92.5, we get 223.32.
