Question 2.
Read the scales. Write the correct weight in the space given below.

Answer:
(i) Here, each small divisions represent 100 grams. The pointer exactly on the 6th small division after 0 kg.
So, the reading = 0 kg + 6 × 100 g
= 600 g
(ii) Here, each small divisions represent 100 grams. The pointer exactly on the 8th small division after 1 kg.
So, the reading = 1 kg + 8 × 100 g
= 1 kg 800 gm
(iii) Here, each small division represent 100 grams. The pointer exactly on the 5th small division after 2 kg.
So, the reading = 2 kg + 5 × 100 g
= 2 kg 500 gm
(iv) Here, each small divisions represent 100 grams. The pointer exactly on the 6 th small division after 2 kg.
So, reading = 2 kg + 6 × 100 g = 2 kg 600 g
(v) Here, each big divisions represent 50 g and each small division represent 10 g. The pointer exactly on the 3rd big division after 0 kg.
So, reading = 0 + 3 × 50 g = 150 g
(vi) Here, each big division represent 50 g and each small division represent 10 g. The pointer exactly on the 1st small division after 500 g and 3rd big division.
So, reading = 500 gm + 3 × 50 g + 10 g
= 500 gm + 150 g + 10 g = 660 gm

So, the weight remaining flour
= 65000 g – 42275 g = 22725 g
Now, the weight of addition flour bought
= 52 kg 500 g
= 52 × 1000 g + 500 g
= 52500 g [∵ 1 kg = 1000 g]
Hence, the total weight of flour available in the kitchen store
= 22725 g + 52500 g = 75225 g
= 75000 g + 225 g
= 75 × 1000 g + 225 g
= 75 kg 225 g [∵ 1000 g = 1 kg]

Question 38
Riya is filling water bottles for a picnic. She fills one 2 L bottle and four 500 ml bottles. Her friend, Aarav fills three 750 ml bottles. Who filled more water, Riya or Aarav? How much more?
Answer:
Given, Riya fills one 2 L bottle and four 500 ml bottles.
So, the total water filled by Riya
= 2 L + (4 × 500 ml)
= 2 L + 2000 ml
= 2 × 1000 ml + 2000 ml
[∵ 1 L = 1000 ml]
= 4000 ml
Also given, Aarav fills three 750 ml bottles.
So, the total water filled by Aarav
= 3 × 750 ml
= 2250 ml
Cleraly, Riya filled more water.
Now, the required difference
= 4000 ml-2250 ml
= 1750 ml
= 1000 ml + 750 ml
= 1 L 750 ml [∵ 1 L = 1000 ml]
Question 39.
A bottle of milk is poured equally into 8 glasses, leaving 120 ml of milk in the bottle.
(i) If each glass has a capacity of 360 ml, what is the total capacity of 8 glasses?
(ii) How much milk was there in the bottle initially?
(iii) If 1 L of milk costs ₹ 40, how much will 3 L milk cost?
Answer:
(i) Given, the capacity of one glass
= 360 ml
So, the total capacity of 8 glasses
= 360 ml × 8
= 2880 ml
= 2000 ml + 880 ml
= 2 L 880 ml [∵ 1000 ml = 1 L]
![]()
(ii) We have, the quantity of milk poured into 8 glasses = 2880 ml
and the quantity of milk remaining in the bottle = 120 ml
So, the total milk initially in the bottle
= Milk poured + Milk remaining
= 2880 ml + 120 ml
= 3000 ml
= 3 L [∵ 1000 ml = 1 L]
(iii) Given, the cost of 1 L of milk = ₹ 40
So, the cost of 3 L milk = 3 × ₹ 40 = ₹ 120
Question 40
A juice vendor has a 5 L container of orange juice. Each glass has a capacity 250 ml.
(i) How many full glasses can he serve before the container becomes empty?
(ii) If he has already served 10 glasses, how much juice is left?
(iii) If 250 ml of juice is sold at ₹ 25, how much will he earn by selling 5 L juice?
Answer:
(i) Given, the total quantity of orange juice
= 5 L
= 5 × 1000 ml[∵ 1 L = 1000 ml]
= 5000 ml
and the capacity of one glass = 250 ml
So, the number of glasses he can serve
= \(\frac{5000 ml}{250 ml}\) = 20 glasses
(ii) The amount of juice served
= 10 glasses × 250 ml
= 2500 ml
∵ Amount of juice is left
= 5000 ml – 2500 ml
= 2500 ml
= 2000 ml + 5000 ml
= 2 × 1000 ml + 500 ml
= 2 L 500 ml [∵ 1000 ml = 1 L]
![]()
(iii) Given, the cost of 250 ml juice = ₹ 25
So, the cost of 1 ml juice = ₹ \(\frac{25}{250}\) ml
= ₹ \(\frac{1}{10}\)
Now, the cost of 5 L or 5000 ml juice
= 5000 ml × ₹ \(\frac{1}{10}\)
= ₹ 500
