Miscellaneous Practice Problems

Question 1.
Sankari purchased 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) m cloth to stitch a long skirt and 1\(\frac{3}{4}\) m cloth to stitch blouse. If the cost is ₹ 120 per metre then find the cost of cloth purchased by her
Solution:
Cloth to stitch a long skirt = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) m
Cloth to stitch a blouse = 1\(\frac{3}{4}\) m
Total length of the cloth = \(2 \frac{1}{2}+1 \frac{3}{4} m=2+\frac{1}{2}+1+\frac{3}{4}\) m

Question 4.
Mangai bought 6\(\frac{3}{4}\) kg of apples. If Kalai bought 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) times as Mangai bought, then how many kilograms of apples did Kalai buy?
Solution:
Weight of apples Mangai bought = 6\(\frac{3}{4}\) kg
Samacheer Kalvi 6th Maths Solutions Term 3 Chapter 1 Fractions Ex 1.2 4
Weight of apples Kalai bought = 10\(\frac{1}{8}\) kg

Question 5.
The length of the staircase is 5 \(\frac{1}{2}\) m. If one step is set at \(\frac{1}{4}\) m, then how many steps will be there in the staircase?
Solution:
Length of the staircase = 5\(\frac{1}{2}\) m
Distance between each step = \(\frac{1}{4}\) m
∴ Number of steps in the staircase = \(5 \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{4}=\frac{11}{2} \div \frac{1}{4}=\frac{11}{2} \times \frac{4}{1}\) = 22
There will be 22 steps in the staircase

Question 6.
By using the following clues, find who am I?
(i) Each of my numerator and denominator is a single digit number.
(ii) The sum of my numerator and denominator is a multiple of 3.
(iii) The product of my numerator and denominator is a multiple of 4
Solution:
The numerator may be any one of!, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and the denominator may be any one of 1, 2,3,4, 5,6, 7,8,9. Sum of numerator and denominator is a multiple of 3.
∴ Possible proper fractions are \(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{8}, \frac{2}{4}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{3}{9}, \frac{4}{5}, \frac{4}{8}, \frac{5}{7}, \frac{6}{9}\)
