Question: 20
Find out from the table
1. How many centimetres more should Chandra Pal jump to equal the Men’s
World Record for high jump?
Answer: We know that,
1 m = 100 cm
Given
Men’s world record for high jump = 2 m 45 cm
= 2 × 100 + 45 cm
= 200 cm + 45 cm
= 245 cm
High jump record of Chandra Pal = 2 m 17 cm
= 2 × 100 + 17 cm
= 200 cm + 17 cm
= 217 cm
Now, subtract 217 from 245, we get
245 – 217 = 28 cm
Hence, to equal the men’s world record for high jump, Chandra Pal need to jump 28 cm
more.
2. How many centimetres higher should Bobby A jump to reach 2 metres?
Remember that 1 m = 100 cm
Half metre =?
Answer: Bobby A, high jump record = 1 m 91 cm
= 1 × 100 + 91 cm
= 191 cm
Required centimetres to reach is 2m
So,
= 2 × 100
= 200 cm
Thus,
200 – 191 = 9 cm
Therefore, Bobby A should jump 9 cm higher to reach 2 metres
3. Galina’s long jump is nearly
(a) 7 metres

Therefore option (b) is correct
4. Look at the Women’s World Records. What is the difference between the
longest jump and the highest jump?
Answer: Women’s World record for high jump = 2 m 9 cm
Women’s World record for long jump = 7 m 52 cm
So, difference between them is
= 7 m 52 cm – 2 m 9 cm
= 5 m 43 cm
5. If Mike P, could jump _______ centimetres longer, his jump would be full 9
metres.
Answer: Mike P long jump record = 8 m 95 cm
To reach 9 metres = 9 m – 8 m 95 cm

Question: 21
* How many rounds of the park must Devi Prasad run to complete 2 km?
1 km = 1000 m
So,
2 km = 2000 m
Hence, to complete 2000 m, Devi Prasad must complete
= 2000 m ÷ 400 m
= 5 rounds
Therefore, Devi Prasad has to complete 5 rounds of the park
* One day the weather was very good and a cool breeze was blowing. He felt
so good that he kept jogging till he got tired after 8 rounds. That day he ran
_______ km and _________ metres!
Answer: Distance covered to complete one round of the park = 400 m
So, distance covered by Devi Prasad to complete 8 rounds of the park = 400 m × 8
= 3200 m
We know,
1000 m = 1 km
Therefore, 3200 m = 3000 m + 200 m
3000 m = 3000 ÷ 1000
= 3 km 200 m
Hence, Devi Prasad ran 3 km 200 m to complete 8 rounds of the park

Question: 1
The donkey asked 500 millilitres of kheer? Isn’t that more than a litre?
Answer: No, 500 millilitre of kheer is less than a litre, it is half litre.
The fox said – Come on, don’t behave like a donkey! One litre is equal to 1000 millilitres, so 500 millilitres
is half a litre.
Question: 2
The donkey looked confused and asked – Ten glasses of 100 ml each. How much is that?
Answer: Quantity of kheer in a glass = 100 mL
Quantity of kheer in 10 glassed = 10 × 100 mL
= 1000 mL
We know that,
1000 mL = 1 litre
Hence, 10 times 100 mL = 1 litre
Question: 3
Each ant drinks 1 millilitre of kheer.
So, 1000 ants drink: 1000 × 1 mL = _______ mL
Answer: Given that each ant drinks 1 millilitre of kheer
So, 1000 ants drink = 1000 × 1 mL = 1000 mL
Therefore 1000 ants drink 1000 mL of kheer i.e., 1 litre of kheer

Question: 10
How much water does his small bottle hold?
Answer: He poured two small bottles of water to fill 1 litre bottle.
We know 1 L = 1000 mL
2 small bottles = 1000 / 2 = 500 mL
So, his small bottle holds 500 mL of water.
Question: 11
Then how much water does Leela’s bottle hold?
Answer: We know 1000 mL = 1 L
Big bottle’s capacity = 1000 mL
Leela uses the small bottle 5 times to fill the big bottle.
Small bottle’s capacity = 1000 / 5
= 200 mL
Hence, Leela’s bottle holds 200 mL of water.
Question: 12
Answer: Ramu takes 2 empty bottles, one bottle measuring 250 mL coconut oil bottle and another bottle
of large size. He fill the 250 mL bottle with water and pour the water into the big bottle. By measuring he
will mark the level as 250 mL in big bottle. Now again he repeat this process and mark the level as 500
mL. Again he fill the 250 mL bottle and mark the level as 750 mL. He repeat the same process and now
he mark the level as 1 litre. By doing so, Ramu got the measuring bottle with clear markings on it.

Question: 13
Find your own way to make a bottle which can measure 200 mL, 400 mL, 600 mL, 800 mL and 1 litre.
Discuss with your friends and teacher how you made this.
Answer: Take a big bottle and a small bottle measuring 200 mL
Now, fill the 200 mL bottle with water and pour entire water into the big bottle. Mark the water level in big
bottle as 200 mL
Again fill the small bottle with water and pour the water in big bottle. Mark the water level as 400 mL in
big bottle
Again fill the water in small bottle and pour into the big bottle. Mark the water level as 600 mL in big
bottle
Again fill the water in 200 mL bottle and pour into the big bottle. Mark the water level as 800 mL in big
bottle.
Again fill the water in 200 mL bottle and pour into the big bottle. Mark the water level as 1000 mL or 1
litre in big bottle
In this way, you can prepare your own measuring bottle

Neetu has to take 3 injections in a day for 5 days. One injection gives 5 mL of the medicine to your body.
(a) How much medicine will she need for one day?
(b) How much medicine in all for 5 days?
Answer:
(a) One injection quantity = 5 mL of medicine
She has to take 3 injections in a day = 5 mL × 3
= 15 mL of medicine
Hence, for one day she needs 15 mL of medicine
(b) Quantity of medicine she is getting in a day = 15 mL
Quantity of medicine for 5 days = 15 mL × 5
= 75 mL
Therefore, she needs 75 mL of medicine in 5 days

Amina’s water bottle holds one litre of water. She drank 250 mL of water and her friend Govind drank
150 mL. How much water is left in her bottle?
Answer: Total water Amina’s bottle holds = 1 litre = 1000 mL
Total water drank = water drunk by Amina + water drunk by Govind
= 250 mL + 150 mL
= 400 mL
Water left in Amina’s bottle = 1000 mL – 400 mL
= 600 mL
Therefore, water left in Amina’s bottle is 600 mL

Answer:
Water used in cooking and drinking = 30 L
Water used in washing clothes = 40 L
Water used in cleaning pots, pans = 20 L

Answer: No, there is no tap which is leaking.
Question: 24
How much water do you think we waste through a leaking tap?
Answer: I think nearly 40 litres of water is wasted through a leaking tap every day.
Question: 25
Place your litre jar below the leaking tap so as to catch all the drops in the bottle. Note the time. After
one hour check how much water is in the bottle.
Answer: After one hour water collected in bottle = 1 L
Question: 26
Find out how much water is wasted in a day?
(a) In a week?
(b) In a month?
(c) In a year?
Answer: In one hour water wasted = 1 L
Therefore, in 24 hours water wasted = 1 L × 24
= 24 L
Hence, 24 L water is wasted in a day
(a) Water wasted in a day = 24 L
Water wasted in 7 days = 24 L × 7
= 168 L
(b) Water wasted in a day = 24 L
Hence, in a month which has 30 days water wasted = 24 L × 30
= 720 L
(c) Water wasted in a month = 720 litre
Water wasted in 12 months or a year = 720 L × 12
= 8640 L
Chelannur village has a milk society. Geetha and Ammini went there to buy 4 litres of milk. But the man
