Question 1.
The sum of two fractions is 5\(\frac{3}{9}\). If one fraction is 2\(\frac{3}{4}\), then find the other fraction.
Answer:
Given one fraction = 2\(\frac{3}{4}\) = \(\frac{11}{4}\)
Sum of two fractions = 5\(\frac{3}{9}\) = \(\frac{48}{9}\)
Now, \(\frac{11}{4}\) + second fraction = \(\frac{48}{9}\)
Second fraction = \(\frac{48}{9}\) – \(\frac{11}{4}\)
LCM of 9 and 4 is 36

Question 2.
A rectangle sheet of paper is of length 12\(\frac{1}{2}\) and breadth 10\(\frac{2}{3}\). Find its perimeter.
Answer:
Length of rectangular sheet = l = 12\(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{25}{2}\) m
Breadth of rectangular sheet = b = 10\(\frac{2}{3}\) = \(\frac{32}{3}\) m
Perimeter of rectangular sheet = 2(1 + b)

Question 3.
Simplify: \(\left(3 \frac{1}{6}-1 \frac{1}{3}\right)+\left(4 \frac{1}{6}-2 \frac{1}{3}\right)\)
Answer:
\(\left(3 \frac{1}{6}-1 \frac{1}{3}\right)+\left(4 \frac{1}{6}-2 \frac{1}{3}\right)\)
First convert the given mixed fractions into improper fractions.
\(\left(\frac{19}{6}-\frac{4}{3}\right)\) + \(\left(\frac{25}{6}-\frac{7}{3}\right)\)
Then subtract the fractions which are in brackets by making them like fractions.

Question 4.
By what number should 3\(\frac{1}{16}\) be multiplied to get 9\(\frac{3}{16}\)?
Answer:
Given fraction = 3\(\frac{1}{16}\) = \(\frac{49}{16}\)
Product = 9\(\frac{3}{16}\) = \(\frac{147}{16}\)
Fraction × fraction to be multiplied = \(\frac{147}{16}\)
\(\frac{49}{16}\) × other number = \(\frac{147}{16}\)
other number = \(\frac{147}{16}\) ÷ \(\frac{49}{16}\) = \(\frac{147}{16}\) × \(\frac{16}{49}\)
Other number = 3
∴ Number to be multiplied = 3.

Question 5.
The length of the staircase is 5\(\frac{1}{2}\) m. If one step is set at \(\frac{1}{4}\) m. then, how many steps will be there in the staircase?
Answer:
Given length of staircase = 5\(\frac{1}{2}\) m = \(\frac{11}{2}\) m
Length of each step = \(\frac{1}{4}\) m
Length of each step × number of steps = length of staircase
\(\frac{1}{4}\) × Number of steps = \(\frac{11}{2}\)
Number of steps = \(\frac{11}{2}\) ÷ \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{11}{2}\) × \(\frac{4}{1}\) = 11 × 2 = 22
∴ Number of steps in the staircase = 22

Question 6.
Simplify: 23.5 – 27 + 35.4 – 17
Answer:
Given 23.5 – 27 + 35.4 – 17
First make them like decimals.
= 23.5 – 27.0 + 35.4 – 17.0
Add the positive numbers
= (+23.5 + 35.4) + (-27.0 – 17.0)
= 58.9 + (-44.0)
= 58.9 – 44.0
= 14.9

Question 7.
Sailaja bought 3.350kg of potatoes, 2.250kg of tomatoes and some onions. If the weight of the total items are 10.250 kg. Then, find the weight of onions.
Answer:
Weight of potatoes = 3.350 kg
Weight of tomatoes = 2.250 kg
Weight of total items = 10.250 kg
Weight of onions = ?
Weight of (potatoes + tomatoes + onions) = 10.250 kg
(3.350 + 2.250) + onions weight = 10.250
5.600 + onions weight = 10.250
Onions weight = 10.250 – 5.600
∴ Weight of onions = 4.650 kg.

Question 8.
What should be subtracted from 7.1 to get 0.713?
Answer:
Given number = 7.1
Difference = 0.713
Number to be subtracted = Number – difference
= 7.1 – 0.713
= 7.100 – 0.713
∴ Number to be subtracted = 6.387.
