4.
(b) 1608

100

Explanation: In 16.08, after the decimal point, we have two digits (0 and 8) and so to convert to fraction we need to count the
number of digits after the decimal point. In this case, we have two-digit and so in the denominator, we have to put 1 followed
by zero (10, 100, 1000 and so on) depending upon the digits after the decimal. we have 2 digits after decimal so we have put
100 as the denominator.

17.
(c) 0.024
Explanation: When you divide a whole number by multiples of 10. i.e. 10, 100, 1000 and beyond.
decimal point moves left side. So,
24

1000
= 0.024

18.
(b) 0.07
H
Explanation: 0.49 we have to change to the whole number so multiply the numerator and denominator with 100, so it becomes

41.
(c) 0.876, 0.9, 3.85, 3.852, 6.01, 8.23
Explanation: Check for the whole number 0 is the smallest number and so we will select two numbers (0.876 and 0.9), check
after decimal its 0.8 and 0.9. in this .8 is the small number so it comes first then.
Next check for the whole number greater than 0, it's 3, again 3 as the whole number we have (3.85 and 3.852). In these two
numbers, 3.85 is common and the second number has 2 extra next whole number 6 and 8.
Section D
42. (a) Only A is true
Explanation: Only A is true. 0.34 is equal to 0.340 because the zero after the decimals in the end does not hold any
significance.

Here the multiplicand contains one decimal place, so the product must contain one decimal place.
Thus, 49.6 × 14 = 694.4
54. i. 599.936 and 599.999
here, the number before the decimal point is equal.
so, comparing the number after decimal point
936 < 999
So, 599.936 < 599.999
599.999 is greater than 599.936
ii. 39.42 and 40.42639
39 < 40
so, 39.42 < 40.42639
40.42639 is greater than 39.42
