Question 11. Find the total weight 4 dumbells if one dumbell weighs 800 grams.
  1.    4 kg
  2.    0.32 kg
  3.    32 kg
  4.    3.2 kg
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 3.2 kg
:
D
Weight of 1 dumbbell=800gWeight of 4 dumbbells=800g×4
=3200g
Since the options are in kilograms, we need to convert 3200 g to kg.
When we convert a smaller unit (g) to a larger unit (kg), we divide the given measure by the conversion factor.
1kg=1000g
3200g=32001000kg
=3.2kg
Thus, the weight of 4 dumbbells is 3.2 kg.
Question 12. Find the missing quantity:
1 L = 350 mL + ______ mL
 
  1.    600
  2.    650
  3.    700
  4.    750
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 650
:
B
We know that,
1 Litre = 1000 mL
We already have 350 mL,
1000 mL - 350 mL = 650 mL
1000 mL = 350 mL + 650 mL
Question 13. Long distances between two places are measured in _____.
  1.    Millimetre
  2.    Milligram
  3.    Kilometre
  4.    Kilogram
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Kilometre
:
C
Kilogram (kg) and milligram (mg) are the units of mass.
Millimetre (mm) is the unitused to measure the length of verysmall objects like the length of a pin, seed etc.
Kilometre(km) is the unitused to measure long distancesbetween two places.
Question 14. Tina went to a shop to buy 3 litres of orange juice for a party. The store sold orange juice only in 250 mL cartons. How many 250 mL cartons will Tina need to buy?
  1.    4
  2.    8
  3.    16
  4.    12
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 12
:
D
1L=1000mL
3L=3×1000mL
=3000mL
Therefore, thequantity of juice Tina wants to buy equals 3000 mL.
Since the store sells only 250 mL cartons, the number of such cartons that Tina has to buy is given by 3000250=12.
Question 15. Select the option in which the measurement conversion is correct. 
  1.    1 m = 100 mm
  2.    1 km = 100 m
  3.    1 m = 100 cm 
  4.    1 cm = 100 mm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1 m = 100 cm 
:
C
We know that,
1 m = 100 cm
1 km = 1000 m
1 cm = 10 mm
Inthe 4 given options,1 m = 100 cm is correct.
Question 16. From the given figure, find the weight of the mangoes.
From The Given Figure, Find The Weight Of The Mangoes.
  1.    2 kg
  2.    2.4 kg
  3.    2.8 kg
  4.    3 kg
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2.4 kg
:
B
Weight of mangoes + 100 g+ 500 g=1 kg + 2 kg
Required weight+ 600 g=3 kg
Required weight=3 kg - 600 g
To move ahead, we need to convert the units. Since we need the final answer in kilograms, let us convert 600 g to kilograms.
1kg=1000g
600 g=6001000kg
=0.6kg
Weight of mangoes=3 kg - 0.6 kg
=2.4 kg
Question 17. An ant goes 3 cm forward then goes 2 cm backwards and then finally 5 cm forward. What is the final position of the ant if the initial position of the ant is shown on the scale? 
An Ant Goes 3 Cm Forward Then Goes 2 Cm Backwards And Then F...
  1.    6 cm
  2.    7 cm
  3.    8 cm
  4.    9 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 8 cm
:
C
Initial position of the ant = 2 cm
Ant goes 3 cm forward = 2 cm + 3 cm =5 cm
Ant goes 2 cm backward = 5 cm - 2 cm = 3 cm
Finally, the ant goes 5 cm forward = 3 cm + 5 cm = 8 cm
The final position of the ant is 8 cm
Question 18. The milk in a spoon is approximately
  1.    5 mm
  2.    5 cm 
  3.    5 mL
  4.    5 L
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5 mL
:
C
We know that spoon is a small object which can hold very little quantity of liquid.
Here, millimetre (mm) and centimetre (cm) are the units of length.
A litre is used to measure a large quantity of liquid.
Therefore, milk in a spoon is approximately 5 mL.
Question 19. 1 L = ____ mL
 
  1.    10 mL
  2.    100 mL
  3.    1000 mL
  4.    10000 mL
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1000 mL
:
C
When we convert a larger unit (L)to a smaller unit (mL), we multiply by the conversion factor.
Hence, 1 L = 1×1000 = 1000 mL
Question 20. 8 hectometres =_______ metres.
  1.    8 
  2.    80 
  3.    800 
  4.    8000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 800 
:
C
When we convert alarger unit (hectometre) to a smaller unit (metres)we multiply by the conversion factor.
1 hectometre = 100 m
Hence 8 hectometres = 8 × 100= 800 m
