Question 4 Maharashtra Board Solution
Avinash traveled 42 km 365 m by bus, 12 km 460 in by car and walked 640 m. How many kilometers did he travel altogether? (Write your answer in decimal fractions)
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Distance traveled in bus = 42 km 365 m = 42 km + km = 42 km + 0.365 km = 42.365 km Distance travelled in car = 12 km 460 m = 12 km + km = 12 km + 0.460 km = 12.460 km Distance walked = 640 m = = 0.640 km ∴ Total distance travelled = Distance travelled in bus + Distance travelled in car + Distance walked = 42.365 + 12.460 + 0.640 = 55.465 km ∴ Distance travelled altogether by Avinash is 55.465 km.

Total length of cloth bought = 1.80 m + 2.25 m = 4.05 m Cost of 1 m of cloth = Rs 120 ∴ Cost of 4.05 m of cloth = 4.05 x 120 ∴ Amount to be paid to the shopkeeper is Rs 486.
Question 6 Maharashtra Board Solution
Sujata bought a watermelon weighing 4.25 kg and gave 1 kg 750 g to the children in her neighbourhood. How much of it does she have left?
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Total weight of watermelon = 4.25 kg Weight of watermelon given to children = 1 kg 750 g = 1 kg + kg = 1 kg + 0.75 kg = 1.75 kg ∴ Weight of watermelon left = Total weight of watermelon – Weight of watermelon given to children = 4.25 kg – 1.75 kg = 2.5 kg ∴ Weight of watermelon left with Sujata is 2.5 kg.
