Question 7: Dinesh went from place A to place B and from there to place C. A is 7.5 km from B and B is 12.7 km from C. Ayub went from place A to place D and from there to place C. D is 9.3 km from A and C is 11.8 km from D. Who travelled more and by how much?

Answer: Distance travelled by Dinesh = 7.5 km + 12.7 km = 20.2 km
Distance travelled by Ayub = 9.3 km + 11.8 km = 21.1 km
Now, 21.1 km – 20.2 km = 0.9 km
Ayub travelled more by 0.9 km or 900 m

Question 8: Shyama bought 5 kg 300g apples and 3 kg 250 g mangoes. Sarala bought 4 kg 800 g oranges and 4 kg 150 g bananas. Who bought more fruits?

Total weight of fruits bought by Sarala = 4.80 kg + 4.15 kg = 8.95 kg
Now, 8.95 kg – 8.55 kg = 0.40 kg
Sarala bought 400 g more fruits than Shyama.

Question 9: How much less is 28 km than 42.6 km?
