2 Answer Keys
 The number of decimal places in 1.284 = 3 Arranging in ascending order:
The number of decimal places in 1.2 = 1 0.800, 1.080, 1.200, 1.208
We know that any number of extra zeros written Hence, 0.8, 1.08, 1.2, 1.208 are in ascending
at the end of decimal number does not change order.
its value. (iv) 8.2, 8.02, 8.7, 8.17, 8.003
For like decimals, four given decimal numbers Converting into like decimals:
have same (three) number of decimal places. 8.200, 8.020, 8.700, 8.170, 8.003
Thus, 2.100, 1.250, 1.284, 1.200 are like decimals, Arranging in ascending order:
(ii) 5.6, 5.06, 5.006 8.003, 8.020, 8.170, 8.200, 8.700
The number of decimal places in 5.6 = 1 Hence, 8.003, 8.02, 8.17, 8.2, 8.7 are in ascending
The number of decimal places in 5.06 = 2 order.
The number of decimal places in 5.006 = 3
EXERCISE 6.3
For like decimals, three given decimal numbers
have same (three) number of decimal places. 26 6 6
1. (i) = 2 2 = 2 + 0.6 = 2.6
Thus, 5.600, 5.060, 5.006 are like decimals. 10 10 10
(iii) 4.12, 4, 4.215 527 7 7
(ii) = 52  52  = 52 + 0.7 = 52.7
The number of decimal places in 4.12 = 2 10 10 10
The number of decimal places in 4 = 0 29
(iii) = 0.0029
The number of decimal places in 4.215 = 3 10000
For like decimals, three given decimal number 7
(iv) = 0.07
have same (three) number of decimal places. 100
Thus, 4.120, 4.000, 4.125 are like decimals. 4537 537 537
(v) = 4 4 = 4 + 0.537 = 4.537
(iv) 7.612, 7.21, 7.6 1000 1000 1000
The number of decimal places in 7.612 = 3 329 29 29
(vi) = 3 3 = 3 + 0.29 = 3.29
The number of decimal places in 7.21 = 2 100 100 100
The number of decimal places in 7.6 = 1 492 92 92
(vii) = 4 4 = 4 + 0.92 = 4.92
For like decimals given decimal numbers have 100 100 100
same (three) number of decimal places. 2
(viii) = 0.002
Thus, 7.612, 7.210, 7.600 are like decimals. 1000
5. (i) 18, 17.9, 18.02, 18.6 23
(ix) = 0.023
Converting into like decimals: 1000
18.00, 17.90, 18.02, 18.60 72
(x) = 0.072
Arranging in ascending order: 1000
17.90, 18.00, 18.20, 18.60 2. (i) 0.49
Hence, 17.9, 18, 18.02, 18.6 are in ascending Numerator of the fraction = 49
order. Denominator of the fraction = 100
(ii) 5.41, 5.01, 5.4, 5.14 (2 zeros are written after 1 as there are 2 decimal

5.41, 5.01, 5.40, 5.14 Required fraction =
100
Arranging in ascending order:
(ii) 0.093
5.01, 5.14, 5.40, 5.41
Numerator of the fraction = 93
Hence, 5.01, 5.14, 5.4, 5.41 are in ascending
Denominator of the fraction = 1000
order.
(3 zeros are written after 1 as there are 3 decimal
(iii) 1.2, 0.8, 1.08, 1.208

 (ii) 7.234 – 6.467 14. Cost of a pen = `16.50
7.234 Cost of a pencil = + `2.25
– 6.467 Total cost = `18.75
0.767 Mohan paid to shopkeeper = `20
Balance amount = `20 – `18.75
 7.234 – 6.467 = 0.767
= `1.25
(iii) 3.3 – 0.333
Hence, the balance amount is `1.25.

– 0.333 HOTS QUESTIONS
2.967 1. The tenths digit of required decimals = sum of 4
 3.3 – 0.333 = 2.967 and 2 = 4 + 2 = 6
(iv) 65.2 – 42.71 6
Hundredths digit = half of tenths digits = =3
65.20 2
– 42.71 Thus, the required decimals = 0.63.
22.49 2. Last digit of required decimals = 3
Tenths digit = 0
 65.2 – 42.71 = 22.49
Hundreths digit = 1
10. Total quantity of milk = 12.12 l + 6.23 l = 18.35 l
Thus, the required decimals = 0.013.
12.12 l
3. Three decimals between 5.85 and 5.86.
+ 6.23 l
5.851, 5.852 and 5.853.
18.35 l
Capacity of an empty can = 23 l
Therefore, 23 l – 18.35 l = 4.65 l of milk can be
proved.
11. The difference, 4.05 – 3.042 will give us the number After putting the decimal point (.) between 6
to be added. and 8. We get, a number 6.8 which is greater
than 6 and smaller than 8.

Hence, 1.008 should be added. SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT
12. Sum at 13.96 and 18.02
13.96 Cost of a pencil box = ` 73.50
+ 18.02
Cost of a pen set = + ` 68.75
31.98 Cost of a paint box = + `112.35
The difference, 31.98 – 30 will gives the required Total amount = `254.60
number. Amount paid to shopkeeper = `500
31.98
Balance amount = `500 – `254.60
– 30.00
= `(500 – 254.60)
1.98 = `245.40
Hence, the required number is 1.98. (a) Yes, Rahul is correct in returning `100 back
13. The difference, 900 – 628.488 will gives us the to the shopkeeper.
required number (b) Since, “Honesty is the best policy.” So, we
900.000 learn “Honesty” from this transaction.
– 628.488
271.512
Hence, 271.512 is the required number.
