Math Problem Statement
Solution
I see the image contains several math problems under Exercise 4.6. Let's work through them one by one.
1. If a car travels 283 ½ km in 4 ⅔ hours, how far does it go in 1 hour?
- The total distance is km and the time is hours.
- First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
- To find the distance per hour, divide the total distance by the time: So, the car travels 60.75 km per hour.
2. A boy exercises for a total of 5 ⅓ hours over 4 days. Find the number of hours he exercises each day.
- Convert the mixed number:
- To find the time per day, divide by 4: So, the boy exercises 1 ⅓ hours per day.
3. A set of 8 ribbons costs Rs 360 1/5. What is the cost of 1 ribbon?
- Convert the mixed number:
- To find the cost of one ribbon, divide by 8: So, the cost of one ribbon is approximately Rs 45.03.
4. Two girls eat 10/11 of a pizza. What part of the pizza did each girl eat?
- If two girls eat of a pizza, the amount each girl eats is: Each girl ate 5/11 of the pizza.
5. A man walks 6 ⅓ km in 1 hour. How far will he walk in 3 ½ hours?
- Convert the mixed numbers:
- Multiply the distance per hour by the time: So, the man will walk 22 ⅙ km.
Would you like further clarification on any of these solutions?
Here are some related questions:
- How do you simplify division involving mixed fractions?
- What are some other real-world examples of dividing distances by time?
- Can we express division of fractions in terms of multiplication of reciprocals?
- How would changes in speed affect the answer to the first problem?
- How would you convert the answers to decimal form?
Tip: When dividing fractions, it's often easier to multiply by the reciprocal (flip the second fraction).
