We will learn uses decimals in every day. In daily life we use decimals while dealing with length, weight, volume, money etc.
Use of Decimals while Dealing with Money:
Let us learn about some uses of decimal notation in money transactions.
We know that 100 paise = 1 rupee;
[We know that one paise in one hundredth of a rupee.]
1 paise = 1100 rupee = 0.01 rupee
5 paise = 5100 rupee = 0.05 rupee
9 paise = 9100 rupee = 0.09 rupee
21 paise = 21100 rupee = 0.21 rupee
75 paise = 75100 rupee = 0.75 rupee
Thus, 8 rupees 15 paise = 815100 = 8.15 rupees
Similarly,
10 rupees 5 paise = 105100 = 10.05 rupees
10 rupees 45 paise = 10 rupees + 45 paise = ₹ 10 + ₹ 0.45 = 10.05 rupees = ₹ 10.45
75 rupees 50 paise = 75 rupees + 50 paise = ₹ 75 + ₹ 0.50 = 75.50 rupees = ₹ 75.50
We read 6.45 rupees as six rupees 45 paise
16.25 rupees as sixteen rupees 25 paise
Use of Decimals while Dealing with Lengths:
Let us learn about some uses of decimal notation in measuring lengths.
We know that 10 mm = 1 cm
So, one millimeter is one tenth of a centimeter.
Therefore, 1 mm = 110 cm = 0.1 cm;
[One millimetre is one tenth of a centimetre.]
So, 1 mm = 0.1 cm;
Therefore, 4 mm = 4910 cm = 0.4 cm
9 mm = 910 cm = 0.9 cm
Thus, 4 cm 8 mm = 4810 cm = 4.8 cm
13 cm 6 mm = 13610 cm = 13.6 cm
9 cm 5 mm = 9 cm + 5 mm = 9 cm + 0.5 cm = 9.5 cm
We know that 100 cm = 1 m;
[One centimetre is one hundredth of a metre.]
1 cm = 1100 m = 0.01 m
Hence, 1 cm = 0.01 m
2 cm = 2100 m = 0.02 m
10 cm = 10100 m = 0.10 m or 0.1 m
40 cm = 40100 m = 0.40 m or 0.4 m
89 cm = 89100 m = 0.89 m
Thus, 4 m 56 cm = 456100 m = 4.56 m
18 m 8 cm = 188100 m = 18.08 m
Similarly, 42 m 35 cm = 42.35 m
68 m 75 cm = 68.75 m
We know that, 1000 m = 1 km
Therefore, 1 m = 11000 km = 0.001 m;
[One metre is one thousandth of a kilometre.]
So, 1 m = 0.001 m;
Therefore, 8 m = 81000 km = 0.008 km
18 m = 181000 km = 0.018 km
75 m = 751000 km = 0.075 km
356 m = 3561000 km = 0.356 km
528 m = 5281000 km = 0.528 km
Thus, 9 km 426 m = 94261000 km = 9.426 km
25 km 693 m = 256931000 km = 25.693 km
Similarly, 29 km 54 m = 29.054 km
12 km 75 m = 12.075 km
Use of Decimals while Dealing with Weights:
Let us learn about some uses of decimal notation in measuring weight.
We know that, 1000 g = 1 kg
1 g = 11000 kg = 0.001 kg;
[One gram is one thousandth of a kilogram.]
So, 5 g = 51000 kg = 0.005 kg
12 g = 121000 kg = 0.012 kg
49 g = 491000 kg = 0.049 kg
85 g = 851000 kg = 0.085 kg
365 g = 3651000 kg = 0.365 kg
Thus, 7 kg 118 g = 71181000 kg
= 7.118 kg
20 kg 48 g = 20481000 kg
= 20.048 kg
Similarly, 12 kg 450 g = 12.450 kg
62 kg 75 gm = 62.075 kg
Use of Decimals while Dealing with Volumes/Capacity:
We know that, 1000 ml = 1 l
1 ml = 11000 l = 0.001 l;
[One millilitre is one thousandth of a litre.]
So, 1 ml = 0.001 l
6 ml = 61000 l = 0.006 l
8 ml = 81000 l = 0.008 l
28 ml = 281000 l = 0.028 l
75 ml = 751000 l = 0.075 l
146 ml = 1461000 l = 0.146 l
Thus, 5 l 450 ml = 54501000 l
= 5.450 l
19 l 32 ml = 19321000 l
= 19.032 l
Similarly, 14 litres 355 ml = 14.355 litres
53 litres 56 ml = 53.056 litres, etc.
