Subtraction of six and seven-digit numbers

You have learnt to carry out subtractions of five-digit numbers. Using the same method, we can do subtractions of numbers with more than five digits. Study the following examples.

Subtract :
Example (1) 65,07,843 – 9,25,586

Example (2) 34,61,058 – 27,04,579

As shown in the above example, learn to subtract by keeping the borrowed numbers in your mind without writing them down.

Subtraction by another method Before subtracting one number from another, if we add 10 or 100 to both of them, the difference remains the same. Let us use this fact.

Example : Subtract : 724 – 376
As we cannot subtract 6 from 4, we shall add a ten to both the numbers. For the upper number, we untie one tens. We add those ten units to 4 units to get 14 units.

We write the tens added to the lower number below it, in the tens place.

We subtract 6 units from 14.

Now, we cannot subtract ( 7 + 1) i.e. 8 tens from 2 tens. So, we add one hundred to both the numbers. For the upper number, we untie the hundred and add the ten tens to 2 tens. To add the hundred to the lower number, we write it below, in the hundreds place. 12 tens minus 8 tens is 4 tens. And 7 hundreds minus (3 + 1) i.e. 4 hundreds is 3 hundreds. Hence, the difference is 348.

Angles Class 5 Problem Set 24 Question Answer Maharashtra Board

Balbharti Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Angles Problem Set 24 Textbook Exercise Important Questions and Answers.

Std 5 Maths Chapter 6 Angles

Complete the following table.

Answer:

The protractor

A protractor is used to measure an angle and also to draw an angle according to a given measure.

The picture opposite shows a protractor.

A protractor is semi-circular in shape.

The semi-circular edge of a protractor is divided into 180 equal parts. Each part is ‘one degree’. ‘One degree’ is written as ‘1°’.

The divisions on a protractor, i.e., the degrees can be marked in two ways. The divisions 0, 10, 20, 30,…180 are marked anticlockwise or from right to left; the divisions 0, 10, 20, 30,…180 are also marked clockwise, or serially from left to right.

The centre of the circle of which the protractor is a half part, is called the centre of the protractor. A diameter of that circle is the baseline or line of reference of the protractor.

Measuring angles

Observe how to measure ∠ABC given alongside, using a protractor.

1. First, put the centre of the protractor on the vertex B of the angle. Place the baseline of the protractor exactly on arm BC. The arms of the angle do not reach the divisions on the protractor.

2. At such times, set the protractor aside and extend the arms of the angle. Extending the arms of the angle does not change the measure of the angle.

3. The angle is measured starting from the zero on that side of the vertex on which the arm of the angle lies. Here, the arm BC is on the right of the vertex B. Therefore, count the divisions starting from the 0 on the right. See which mark falls on arm BA. Read the number on that mark. This number is the measure of the angle.

The measure of∠ABC is 40°.

We can measure the same ∠ABC by positioning the protractor differently.

1. First put the centre point of the protractor on vertex B of the angle. Align the baseline of the protractor with arm BA.
2. Find the 0 mark on the side of BA. Count the marks starting from the 0 on the side of point A. See which mark falls on arm BC. Read the number at that point.

Observe that here, too, the measure of ∠ABC is 40°.

See how the angles given below have been measured with the help of a protractor.

Multiples

Dada : You know what a divisor and a dividend is. Do you know what a multiple is?

Anju : I don’t know what a multiple is, but I think it must be related to multiplication.

Dada : Right ! Let me give you an example. You can solve 20 ÷ 5, can’t you?

Anju : Yes. When we divide the dividend 20 by the divisor 5, the quotient is 4 and the remainder is 0.

Dada : When the division of a dividend leaves no remainder, the dividend is said to be a multiple of the divisor. In such a case, the dividend is the product of the divisor and the quotient. Here, 20 is a multiple of 5, but 21 is not.

Now tell me, can we divide 84 chalksticks into groups of six?

Suraj : Let me divide by 6. 84 can be divided exactly by 6 and the quotient is 14. Thus, we can make 14 groups of 6. So, 84 is the multiple of 6 and 6 is a factor of 84.

Dada : If the number of chalksticks is 6, 12, 18, 36 or 84, then we can make exact groups of 6 with none left over. It means that 6, 12, 18, 36 and 84 are multiples of 6, or that they are exactly divisible by 6. To see whether the number of chalksticks is a multiple of 6, divide that number by 6. If the remainder is 0, the number is a multiple of 6.

Each number in the 3 times table is exactly divisible by 3 or is a multiple of 3. Similarly, the numbers in the 7 times table are multiples of 7. Numbers in the 9 times table are multiples of 9.

We use this idea all the time. Let me ask you a few questions so as to make it clear. I have a 200 ml measure. Will I be able to measure out 1 litre of milk with it?

Suraj : I litre is 1000 ml. 1000 = 200 × 5, which means that 1000 is a multiple of 200. So we can measure out 1 litre of milk with the 200 millilitre measure. 5 measures of 200 ml make 1 litre.

Dada : Can we measure out one and a half litres of milk with the 200 ml measure?

Anju : One and a half litres is 1500 ml. 1500 is not divisible by 200. So, it is not a multiple of 200. So the 200 ml measure cannot be used to measure out one and a half litres of milk.

Dada : I have 400 grams of chana. I have to make pouches of 60 grams each. Is that possible, if I don’t want any left overs?

Anju : No. 400 is not a multiple of 60.

Dada : How much more chana will I need to make those pouches of 60 grams each?

Anju : We will have to find the multiple of 60 that comes directly after 400. 60 × 6 = 360, 60 × 7 = 420. So, we need 20 grams more of chana.

Tests for divisibility

Study the 2 times table and see which numbers appear in the units place. Similarly, divide 52, 74, 80, 96 and 98 by 2 to see if they are exactly divisible by 2. What rule do we get for determining whether a number is a multiple of 2?

Now study the 5 and 10 times tables.

See what rules you get for finding multiples of 5 and 10, that is, numbers divisible by 5 and 10.

Test for divisibility by 2 : If there is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 in the units place, the number is a multiple of 2, or is exactly divisible by 2.

Test for divisibility by 5 : Any number with 5 or 0 in the units place is a multiple of 5 or, is divisible by 5.

Test for divisibility by 10 : Any number that has 0 in the units place is a multiple of 10.

Solution:

Question 3.
Find an equivalent fraction with denominator 5, for each of the following fractions.

Solution:

Question 4.
From the fractions given below, pair off the equivalent fractions.

Solution:

Question 5.
Find two equivalent fractions for each of the following fractions.

Solution:

Like fractions and unlike fractions

Fractions such as \(\frac{1}{7}, \frac{4}{7}, \frac{6}{7}\) whose denominators are equal, are called ‘like fractions’.
Fractions such as \(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{4}{8}, \frac{9}{11}\) which have different denominators are called unlike fractions’.

Converting unlike fractions into like fractions

Example (1) Convert 5/6 and 7/9 into like fractions.
Here, we must find a common multiple for the numbers 6 and 9.
Multiples of 6 : 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, ……..
Multiples of 9 : 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 ……..
Here, the number 18 is a multiple of both 6 and 9. So, let us make 18 the denominator of both fractions.

Thus, 15/18 and 1418 are like fractions, respectively equivalent to 5/6 and 7/9.
Here, 18 is a multiple of both 6 and 9. We could also choose numbers like 36 and 54 as the common denominators.

Example (2) Convert 4/8 and 5/16 into like fractions.
As 16 is twice 8, it is easy to make 16 the common denominator.
\(\frac{4}{8}=\frac{4 \times 2}{8 \times 2}=\frac{8}{16}\) Thus, 8/16 and 5/16 are the required like fractions.

Example (3) Find a common denominator for 4/7 and 3/4.
The number 28 is a multiple of both 7 and 4. So, make 28 the common denominator. . Therefore, 16/28 and 21/28 are the required like fractions.

Addition and subtraction of unlike fractions

Example (1) Add : \(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{6}\)

First let us show the fraction \(\frac{2}{3}\) by coloring two of the three equal parts on a strip.

You have learnt to add and to subtract fractions with common denominators. Here, we have to add the fraction \(\frac{1}{6}\) to the fraction \(\frac{2}{3}\).

So let us divide each part on this strip into two equal parts. \(\frac{4}{6}\) is a fraction equivalent to \(\frac{2}{3}\). Now, as 16 is to be added to \(\frac{2}{3}\) i.e. to \(\frac{4}{6}\), we shall colour one more of the six parts on the strip. Now, the total coloured part is \(\frac{5}{6}\).

Therefore,
That is,

Example (2) Add : \(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{5}\)
Here, the smallest common multiple of the two denominators is 10. So, we shall change the denominator of both fractions to 10.

Example (3) Add : \(\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{16}\)
Here, 16 is twice 8. So, we shall change the denominator of both fractions to 16.

Example (4) Subtract : \(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{8}\)
Let us make 8 the common denominator of the given fractions.

Example (5) Subtract : \(\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{3}\)
The smallest common multiple of the denominators is 15. So, we shall change the denominator of both fractions to 15.

Angles Class 5 Problem Set 26 Question Answer Maharashtra Board

Balbharti Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Angles Problem Set 26 Textbook Exercise Important Questions and Answers.

Std 5 Maths Chapter 6 Angles

Question 1.
Draw and name the following angles with the help of a protractor.

(1) 60°
Answer:

(2) 120°
Answer:

(3) 90°
Answer:

(4) 150°
Answer:

(5) 30°
Answer:

(6) 165°
Answer:

(7) 45°
Answer:

Types of angles

∠ABC is a right angle.
Angles of measure 90° are called right angles.

∠RST measures less than 90°, that is, less than a right angle.
An angle which measures less than a right angle is called an acute angle.
∠RST is an acute angle.

∠LMN measures more than 90°, that is, more than a right angle.
An angle which measures more than a right angle is called an obtuse angle.
∠LMN is an obtuse angle.

Activity :

Making a right angle by folding
(1) Fold a sheet of paper roughly in half.
(2) Make another fold in the paper at any point on the first fold, as shown in the picture.
(3) Now unfold the paper. You will find two lines. The angle between those two lines will be a right angle.

With the help of a protractor, verify that the measure of this angle is 90°.

Parallel and perpendicular lines
Parallel lines

The bars on the window in the picture are parallel to each other.
The steps on the ladder in the picture are parallel to each other.
The vertical legs of the ladder are parallel to each other.

1. Take a rectangular piece of paper.

2. Fold it in such a way that one edge falls exactly on the opposite edge.

3. Make another fold in the same way.

4. Unfold the paper and trace the lines made by the folds, with a pencil.

___________ The lines traced with the pencil are parallel to each other.
______________________ The lines shown alongside are not of equal length, yet they are parallel to each other.

Parallel lines do not intersect, that is, they do not cut each other, no matter how far they are extended on either side.

Take a ruler as shown in the picture.

Using a pencil, draw lines along both sides of the ruler. Put the ruler aside. The two lines are parallel to each other.
In this way, we can use several rectangular objects to draw parallel lines.

Perpendicular lines

We have seen many objects standing straight on the ground. These objects form a right angle with their shadows.

For example, the angle formed by a pole and its shadow on the ground is 90° or a right angle. Similarly, adjacent sides of wooden planks or books also form angles of 90°.

When two lines form an angle of 90° with each other, they are said to be perpendicular to each other. To show that two lines are perpendicular, a symbol as shown the figure is drawn between them.

Measure the angle between any two adjacent sides of your notebook. Since it is a right angle, the two sides are perpendicular to each other.

Look at this picture of a page of a notebook.

The horizontal lines on the paper are parallel to each other. However, the vertical margin line on the side forms a right angle with the horizontal lines, therefore, it is perpendicular to the horizontal lines.
