Exercise 8.1

Question 1

Write the following as numbers in the given table.

Answer

One block divided into 10 equal parts means each part is 1/10 (one-tenth) of a unit. It can be written as 0.1 in decimal notation. One block divided into 100 equal parts means each part is (1/100) one-hundredth of a unit.

Question 6
Express the following as cm using decimals.
(a) 2 mm
(b) 30 mm
(c) 116 mm
(d) 4 cm 2 mm
(e) 162 mm
(f) 83 mm
Answer
We know that 10 mm =1 cm i.e. 1 mm is 1/10 of centimeter
(a)2 mm = 2/10 cm = .2 cm
(b) 30mm = 30/10 cm = 3 cm
(c) 116 mm= 116/10 cm = 11.6 cm
(d) 4 cm 2 mm= (4 + 2/10) cm = 4.2 cm
(e) 162 mm = 162/10 cm = 16.2 cm
(f) 83 mm = 83/10 cm = 8.3 cm

(a) 0.8
(b) 5.1
(c) 2.6
(d) 6.4
(e) 9.1
(f) 4.9

Answer
(a) 0.8 = 0 + 8/10

So, it lies between 0 and 1 and is nearer to 1.
(b)5.1 = 5 + 1/10

So, it lies between 5 and 6 and is nearer to 5.
(c)2.6 = 2 + 6/10

So, it lies between 2 and 3 and is nearer to 3.
(d) 6.4 = 6 + 4/10

So, it lies between 6 and 7 and is nearer to 6.
(e) 9.1 = 9 + 1/10

So, it lies between 9 and 10 and is nearer to 9.
(f) 4.9 = 4 + 9/10

So, it lies between 4 and 5 and is nearer to 5.

Question 8
Show the following numbers on the number line.

(a) 0.2

(b) 1.9

(c) 1.1

(d) 2.5

Answer

    a)      0.2 lies between 0 and 1. There are 2 tenths in it. Divide the unit length into 10 equal parts and 0.2 represents the 2^nd part.

    b)      1.9 lies between 1 and 2. There are 9 tenths in it. 1.9 represents the ninth part after 1.

   c)      1.1 lies between 1 and 2. There are 1 tenth in it. 1.1 represents the first part after 1.

d)     2.5 lies between 2 and 3. There are 5 tenths in it. 2.5 represents the fifth part after 2.

NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 8: Decimals

Answer

Each interval is divided in ten equal parts and we can just count the part to get the value

a)	A	A represents the 8^th equal part between 0 and 1. So, A is 0.8.
b)	B	B represents the 3^rd equal part between 1 and 2. So, B is 1.3
c)	C	C represents the 2^nd equal part between 2 and 3 and hence is the number 2.2
d)	D	D is 2.9, the 9^th equal part between 2 and 3.

Question 10

(a) The length of Ramesh’s notebook is 9 cm 5 mm. What will be its length in cm?

(b) The length of a young gram plant is 65 mm. Express its length in cm.

Answer

We know that 10 mm =1 cm i.e. 1 mm is 1/10 of centimeter

a) length= 9cm5mm = 9 + 5/10= 9.5 cm

b) length= 65mm =65/10= 6.5 cm

Exercise 8.2
