 Money spent for Science book = ` 32.60
Total money spent = ` 35.75 + ` 32.60 = ` 68.35
Therefore, total money spent by Rashid is `
68.35.
3. Money given by mother = `
10.50 Money given by father =
` 15.80
Total money received by Radha = ` 10.50 + ` 15.80 = `
26.30 Therefore, total money received by Radha is ` 26.30.

4. Cloth bought for shirt = 3 m 20 cm = 3.20 m

Cloth bought for trouser = 2 m 5 cm = 2.05
m
Total length of cloth bought by Nasreen = 3.20 + 2.05 = 5.25
m Therefore, total length of cloth bought by Nasreen is 5.25
m

5. Distance travelled in morning = 2 km 35 m = 2.035 km

Distance travelled in evening = 1 km 7 m = 1.007 km
Total distance travelled = 2.035 + 1.007 = 3.042 km
Therefore, total distance travelled by Naresh is 3.042
km.

6. Distance travelled by bus = 15 km 268 m = 15.268

km Distance travelled by car = 7 km 7 m = 7.007
km Distance travelled on foot = 500 m = 0.500 km
Total distance travelled = 15.268 + 7.007 + 0.500 = 22.775
km Therefore, total distance travelled by Sunita is 22.775
km.

7. Weight of Rice = 5 kg 400 g = 5.400 kg

Weight of Sugar = 2 kg 20 g = 2.020 kg
Weight of Flour = 10 kg 850 g = 10.850
kg
Total weight = 5.400 + 2.020 + 10.850 = 18.270 kg
Therefore total weight of Ravi’s purchase = 18.270
kg.

3. Total amount given to shopkeeper = `

Amount left = ` 50.00 = ` 35.65 = `
14.35
Therefore, Raju got back ` 14.35 from

 Amount left = ` 18.50 – ` 11.75 = `
6.75 Therefore, Rani has ` 6.75 now.

5. Total length of cloth = 20 m 5 cm = 20.05 m

Length of cloth used = 4 m 50 cm = 4.50 m
Remaining cloth = 20.05 m – 4.50 m = 15.55
m Thereofre, 15.55 m of cloth is left with
Tina.

6. Total distance travel = 20 km 50 m = 20.050 km

Distance travelled by bus = 10 km 200 m = 10.200 km
Distance travelled by auto = 20.050 – 10.200 = 9.850
km Therefore, 9.850 km distance travels by auto.

7. Weight of onions = 3 kg 500 g = 3.500 kg

Weight of tomatoes = 2 kg 75 g = 2.075
kg
Total weight of onions and tomatoes =
3.500 + 2.075 = 5.575 kg

Therefore, weight of potatoes = 10.000 – 5.575 = 4.425

kg Thus, weight of potatoes is 4.425 kg.
