Correct Answer: 100.9
Explanation:
4.036/0.04 = 4036/40 = 100.9
Correct Answer: 125/999
Explanation:
0.125125...... = = 125/999
Correct Answer: 5.4327 x 3.572 x5.7
Explanation:
Number of decimal places in the given expression = 8
Number of decimal places in (A) = 8
Number of decimal places in (B) = 9
Number of decimal places in (C)= 7
Clearly , the expresssion in (A) is the same as the given Expression.
Correct Answer: 300
Explanation:
Length of each piece = (1/8) m = 0.125 m
Required no of pieces = (37.5/0.125) = (375 * 100) / 125 = 300.
Correct Answer: 4 / 5
Explanation:
3 /4 = 0.75, 5/6 = 0.833, 1/2 = .5, 2/3 = 0.66, 4/5 = 0.8, 9/10 = 0.9.
clearly 0.8 lies between 0.75 and .833.
4/5 lies between 3/4 and 5/6..
Correct Answer: always less than either of the original fractions
Explanation:
We can easily Answer this by taking some values.
The question states that the two fractions, each have values between 0 and 1.
Let us say one of the fraction is 1/2 and the other fraction is 1/3 .
The product of the two fractions is 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6 .
is lesser than both 1/2 and 1/3 .
So, the correct answer is that the product is always less than either of the original fractions.
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Sum of the decimal places = 7 .
Since the last digit to the extreme right wil be zero ( 5 * 4 = 20), so there will be 6 significant digits to the right of the decimal point....
Correct Answer: 0.001
Explanation:
2 * 5 = 10. Sum of decimal places = 4.
.002 * .5 = 0.0010 = 0.001
Correct Answer: 2011
Explanation:
Suppose commodity X wil cost 40 paise more than Y after Z years. Then,
(4.20 + 0.40Z) - (6.30 + 0.15Z) = 0.40
=> 0.25Z = 0.40 + 2.10 => Z= 2.50/0.25 = 10
Therefore, X will cost 40 paise more than Y 10 years after 2001 . i.e in 2011
Correct Answer: 0.018
Explanation:
In these type of fractions, the decimal moves left the number of zeroes in the divisor times. Herein the given question 18/1000, there are 3 zeros in 1000 (divisor). Hence, the quotient is 0.018.
The quotient of 18/1000 = 0.018.
