Question 5. Put >, = or < in the blank spaces of the following:

1. 5.0    WBBSE Solutions For Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Simplification Decimal Fraction Examples Question 5     0.5

Solution:

The left-hand number is 5.0, and its integral (or whole part) part is 5. 

The right-hand number is 0.5, its integral part is 0.

∴ 5.0    WBBSE Solutions For Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Simplification Decimal Fraction Examples Question 5 Q 1    0.5.

 

2. 72.1    WBBSE Solutions For Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Simplification Decimal Fraction Examples Question 5    72.10

Solution:

The whole or integral parts of both the left-hand number and right-hand number are the same (each equal to 72) and also in the decimal part both the numbers have the same one-tenths and so both the numbers are equal.

∴ 72.1    WBBSE Solutions For Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Simplification Decimal Fraction Examples Question 5 Q 2    72.10.

 

3. 68.5    WBBSE Solutions For Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Simplification Decimal Fraction Examples Question 5    68.52

Solution:

The integral part of both the numbers is the same; in the decimal part both the numbers have the same one-tenths (each equal to 5) but the one-hundredth part of the left-hand number is 0 and in the right-hand number, the one-hundredth part is 2.

So the right-hand number is greater than the left.

∴ 68.5    WBBSE Solutions For Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Simplification Decimal Fraction Examples Question 5 Q 3     68.52.

Question 6. Arrange the following numbers in ascending order of magnitude:

1. 0.534, 0.52, 5.34, 0.513

Class 6 West Bengal Board Math Solution:

Given

0.534, 0.52, 5.34, 0.513

The integral parts of the given numbers are 0, 0, 5, and 0.

∴ 5.34 is the greatest number.

Again,

0.534 = 0.534

0.52 = 0.520

0.513 = 0.513

As, 513 < 520 < 534

∴ 513 < 520 < 534.

So arranging the given numbers in ascending order of magnitude, we get,

0.513, 0.52, 0.534; 5.34.

 

2. 0.536, 0.335, 0.3354,. 0.52.

Solution:

Given

0.536, 0.335, 0.3354,. 0.52

The integral parts of the given numbers are the same, we have,

0.536 = 0.5360

0.335 = 0.3350

0.3354 = 0.3354

0.52 = 0.5200

∴ As, 3350 <  3354 < 5200 < 5360

0.0335 < 0.3354 < 0·5200 < 0.536

or, 0.335 < 0.3354 <0.52 < 0.536

So arranging the given numbers in ascending order of magnitude we get,

0.335, 0.3354, 0.52, 0:536

 

Question 7. Arrange the following numbers in descending order of magnitude:

1. 13.3, 11.3, 1.33, 2.31; 

Class 6 West Bengal Board Math Solution

13 \cdot 3=13 \cdot 30 \\
11 \cdot 3=11 \cdot 30 \\
1 \cdot 33=1 \cdot 33 \\
2 \cdot 31=2 \cdot 31
\end{array}\right\}\)

The integral parts of the given numbers are

13, 11, 1, 2.

∵ 13 > 11 2 > 1

∴ 13.30 11.30 > 2.31> 1-33

Arranging the numbers in descending order of magnitudes, we get,

13.3, 11.3, 2.31, 1.33.

 

2. 3.007, 3.07, 37.30, 7.13

Class 6 West Bengal Board Math Solution:

3 \cdot 007=3 \cdot 007 \\
3 \cdot 07=3.070 \\
37 \cdot 30=37 \cdot 300 \\
7 \cdot 13=7 \cdot 130
\end{array}\right\}\)

3.007, 3.07, 37.30, 7.13

We get, 37.300 > 7.130

The integral parts of the given numbers are

3, 3, 37, 7

∵ 37 > 7 > 3

We get,

∴ 37.300 > 7.130 > 3.070 > 3.007  ( ∵ 3.070> 3.007)

or, 37.30 > 7.13 > 3.07 > 3.007.

So arranging the given numbers in descending order of magnitudes, we get 37.30, 7.13, 3.07, 3.007.

Question 19. A man gave 0-5 part of his own property to his wife, 0.2 part to his son, and 0.25 part to his daughter. If he had still the property whose value is ₹ 5000. What is the value of the whole property? What is the value of the property of his wife?

Solution:

Let the whole property = 1 unit.

∴ The total part of the property that his wife, son, and daughter got (0.502+0.25) = 0.95 part

∴ The remaining part of the property = (1 – 0.95) = 0.05 part

∴ Value of 0.05 part of the property = ₹ 5000

∴ Value of the whole property = ₹ (5000 ÷ 0.05) = ₹ 100000.

∴ The value of his wife’s property =  ₹ 100000 × 0.5 = ₹ 50000

So the value of the whole property = ₹ 100000. and the value of the wife’s property

= ₹ 50,000.
