5. Represent the following numbers on the number line: 2, 0, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15.
Solution:
Draw a line. Mark a point on it. Label it ‘O’. Mark a second point to the right of 0. Label it 1. The distance between these points labelled as 0 and 1 is called unit distance. On this line, mark a point to the right of 1 and at unit distance from 1 and label it 2. In this way go on labeling points at unit distance as 3, 4, 5, …………… on the line.
6. How many whole numbers are there between 22 and 43?
Solution:
Whole numbers between 22 and 43 are 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42
∴ There are 20 whole numbers between 22 and 43.
Or [(43 – 22) – 1 = 21 – 1 = 20].
7. Draw a number line to represent each of following on it.
Question (a)
3 + 2
Solution:
We draw a number line and move 3 steps from 0 to the right and mark this point as A.
Now, starting from A we move 2 steps towards right and move at B.
OA = 4, AB = 2, OB = 5
Hence, OB = 3 + 2 = 5.
Question (b)
4 + 5
Solution:
We draw a number line.
Starting from point 0 (i.e. zero), we move 4 steps to the right and mark this point as A.
Now, starting from A we move 5 steps towards right and arrive at B.
OA = 4, AB = 5, OB = 9
Hence, OB = 4 + 5 = 9.
Question (c)
6 + 2
Solution:
We draw a number line.
Starting from point 0 (i.e. zero), we move 6 steps to the right and mark this point as A.
Now, starting from A we move 2 steps towards right and arrive at B.
OA = 6, AB = 2, OB = 8
Hence, OB = 6 + 2 = 8.
Question (d)
8 – 3
Solution:
We draw a number line.
Starting from point 0 (i.e. zero), we move 8 steps to the right and arrive at A.
Now, starting from A we move 3 steps to the left of A and arrive at B.
OA = 8, AB = 3, OB = 5
Hence, OB = 8 – 3 = 5.
Question (e)
7 – 4
Solution:
We draw a number line.
Starting from point 0 (i.e. zero), we move 7 steps to the right and arrive at A.
Now, starting from A we move 4 steps to the left of A and arrive at B.
OA = 7, AB = 4, OB = 3
Hence, OB = 7 – 4 = 3.
Question (f)
7 – 2
Solution:
We draw a number line.
Starting from point 0 (i.e. zero), we move 7 steps to the right and arrive at A.
Now, starting from A, we move 2 steps to the left of A and arrive at B.
OA = 7, AB = 2, OB = 5
Hence, OB = 7 – 2 = 5.
Question (g)
3 × 3
Solution:
We draw a number line.
Starting from 0 we move 3 units to the right of 0 to arrive at A.
We make two more such same moves starting from A (total 3 moves of 3 units each) to reach finally at C which represents 9.
Hence, 3 × 3 = 9.
Question (h)
2 × 5
Solution:
We draw a number line.
We start from 0 move 5 units at a time to right.
We make 2 such moves. We shall reach at 10.
So, 2 × 5 = 10.
Question (i)
3 × 5
Solution:
We draw a number line.
We start from 0, move 5 units at a time to right.
We make 3 such moves. We shall reach at 15.
So, 3 × 5 = 15
Question (j)
9 ÷ 3
We draw a number line.
Starting from 0, we move 9 units to the right of 0 to arrive at A.
Now, from A take moves of 3 units to the left of A till we reach at ‘O’. We observe that there are 3 moves.
So, 9 ÷ 3 = 3.
Question (k)
12 ÷ 4
We draw a number line.
Starting from 0, we move 12 units to the right of 0 to arrive at A.
Now, from A take moves of 4 units to the left of A till we reach at ‘O’. We observe that there are 3 moves.
So, 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
Question (l)
10 ÷ 2
Solution:
We draw a number line.
Starting from 0, we move 10 units to the right of 0 to arrive at A.
Now, from A take moves of 2 units to the left c A till we reach at ‘O’. We observe that there are 5 moves.
So, 10 ÷ 2 = 5.
8. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate symbol < or > :
Question (i)
(a) 25 ……………. 205
(b) 170 …………… 107
(c) 415 …………… 514
(d) 10001 ………….. 9999
(e) 2300014 ………….. 2300041
(f) 99999 …………… 888888.
Solution:
(a) 25 < 205 (b) 170 > 107
(c) 415 < 514 (d) 10001 > 9999
(c) 2300014 < 2300041
(f) 99999 < 888888.
