Exercise $1.4$
Question 1.
A wire of length $363.987 \mathrm{~m}$ is cut into 30 pieces. What is the length of each piece?
Solution:
Length of the wire $=363.987 \mathrm{~m}$
i.e Total length of 30 pieces $=\frac{363987}{1000} \mathrm{~m}$
$\therefore$ Length of I piece
$=12132.9 \times \frac{1}{1000}$
Length of 1 piece of wire $=12.1329 \mathrm{~m}$

Question $2 .$
A cake of $50 \mathrm{~kg}$ needs $23.4 \mathrm{~kg}$ sugar. Find the weight of cake made by $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ of sugar.
Solution:
Weight of cake made using $23.4 \mathrm{~kg}$ sugar $=50 \mathrm{~kg}$
Weight of cake made using $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ sugar $=\frac{50}{23.4}$
$=\frac{50}{23.4} \times \frac{10}{10}=\frac{500}{234}=2.1367 \mathrm{Kg}$
$=2.14 \mathrm{Kg}$
Weight of cake made using $1 \mathrm{~kg}$ sugar $=2.14 \mathrm{Kg}$
 

Question $3 .$
A pack of 20 pencils cost ₹ 94.4. What is the cost of each pencil?
Solution:
Cost of 20 pencils $=₹ 94.4$

$\begin{aligned}
\text { Cost of 1 pencil } &=\frac{94.4}{20}=\frac{944 / 10}{20 / 1}=\frac{944}{10} \times \frac{1}{20}=\frac{944}{20} \times \frac{1}{10} \\
&=\frac{47.2}{10}=4.72
\end{aligned}$
