Decimals
EXERCISE 8.1
Q.1) Write the following as numbers in the given table:
Sol.1) One block divided into 10 equal parts means each part is 1/10 (one-tenth) of a unit. It
can be written as 0.1 in decimal notation. One block divided into 100 equal parts means
each part is (1/100) one-hundredth of a unit.
m
a) We see that there are three towers made of 10 blocks representing 3 tens, one
block representing ones and two parts of a block representing 2 tenths.
co
This can be shown on the table as:
Hundreds Tens Ones Tenths

w
see that the tenth part of 0.5 is greater than the tenth part of 0.05. So, 0.5 is greater.
e) 1.23 or 1.2
Whole part is 1 and is the same. The tenth part is also the same. The hundredth part of
1.23 is 3 and the hundredth part of 1.2 is 0. So, we see that 1.23 is greater.
f) 0.099 or 0.19
Whole number part is the same. The tenth part of 0.099 is 0 and that of 0.19 is 1. So, the
tenth part of 0.19 is greater than 0.099. Hence, 0.19 is greater.
g) 1.5 or 1.50
Whole number is the same. The tenth part is the same. So, the numbers are equal.
h) 1.431 or 1.490


The whole number is same. The number in the tenth part is also the same. The
hundredth part of 1.431 is 3 and that of 1.491 is 9. We see that 3 < 9 and hence 1.431 is
lesser than 1.490.
Hence, 1.490 is greater.
i) 3.3 or 3.300
The whole number part and the tenth part are the same. When there are no digits in the
hundredths and the thousandths place of the number, we know that the digits are zero.
So, the numbers are the same.
j) 5.64 or 5.603
The whole number and the tenth place digits are the same. As 4 is greater than 0, we
know that 5.64 is greater than 5.603.
So, 5.64 is greater.

es
b) 3.23 or 3.25
di
Here, the whole parts as well as the tenth part of both the numbers are same.

Q.3) Raju bought a book for Rs.35.65. He gave Rs.50 to the shopkeeper. How much money did
he get back from the shopkeeper?
Sol.3) Cost of the book Raju purchased = Rs. 35.65
Money paid by Raju to the shopkeeper = Rs. 50


Remaining = Rs. 50 – Rs. 35.65

tomatoes and the rest is potatoes. What is the weight of the potatoes?
w
Sol.7) Total weight of the vegetables purchased = 10 𝑘𝑔

w
Weight of onions = 3 𝑘𝑔 500 𝑔 = 3.500 𝑘𝑔

Weight of tomatoes = 2 𝑘𝑔 75 𝑔 = 2.075 𝑘𝑔
Weight of onions and tomatoes = 3.500 + 2.075
2.075
−3.500
5.575
Weight of potatoes = Weight of the vegetables – weight of onions and tomatoes
= 10 – 5.575
10.000
−5.575
4.425
∴ Weight of potatoes = 4.425 𝑘𝑔
