Question 21.


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
In the 4 given options, 1 m = 100 cm is correct.


Question 22.


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 23.


By how much is the length of string A more than string B?


By How Much Is The length Of String A More than String B?...


  1.     10 mm
  2.     20 mm
  3.     30 mm
  4.     40 mm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 10 mm
:
A

String `A` is starting from 1 cm.
Subtract 1 cm from 9 cm.
Lenght of string A
=9 cm1 cm=8 cm
String `B` is starting from 3 cm.
Subtract 3 cm from 10 cm.
Length of string B
=10 cm3 cm=7 cm
Thus, the difference in length of  String `A` and String `B`
=8 cm7 cm=1 cm=10 mm
The length of string A is more than string B by 10 mm.


Question 24.


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 unit used to measure the length of very small objects like the length of a pin, seed etc. 


Kilometre (km) is the unit used to measure long distances between two places.


Question 25.


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 26.


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 27.


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

     1 L=1000 mL
3 L=3×1000 mL
            =3000 mL
Therefore, the quantity 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 28.


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.
        1 kg=1000 g
 600 g=6001000 kg
                =0.6 kg
 Weight of mangoes =3 kg - 0.6 kg
                                        =2.4 kg


Question 29.


8 hectometres =_______ metres.


  1.     8 
  2.     80 
  3.     800 
  4.     8000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 800 
:
C

When we convert a larger unit (hectometre) to a smaller unit (metres) we multiply by the conversion factor.
1 hectometre = 100 m


Hence 8 hectometres = 8 × 100 = 800 m


Question 30.


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
