Exercise 8.3 page no: 175

1. Which is greater?
(a) 0.3 or 0.4
(b) 0.07 or 0.02
(c) 3 or 0.8
(d) 0.5 or 0.05
(e) 1.23 or 1.2
(f) 0.099 or 0.19
(g) 1.5 or 1.50
(h) 1.431 or 1.490
(i) 3.3 or 3.300
(j) 5.64 or 5.603
Solutions:
(a) 0.3 or 0.4
Whole parts for both the numbers are same. We know that the tenth part of 0.4 is greater than
that of 0.3
∴ 0.4 > 0.3
(b) 0.07 or 0.02
Both the numbers have same parts up to the tenth place but the hundredth part of 0.07 is greater
than that of 0.02
∴ 0.07 > 0.02
(c) 3 or 0.8
The whole part of 3 is greater than that of 0.8
∴ 3 > 0.8
(d) 0.5 or 0.05
Whole parts for both the numbers are same. Here the tenth part of 0.5 is greater than that of 0.05
∴ 0.5 > 0.05
(e) 1.23 or 1.20
Here both the numbers have same parts up to the tenth place. The hundredth part of 1.23 is
greater than that of 1.20
∴ 1.23 > 1.20
(f) 0.099 or 0.19
Whole parts for both the numbers are same. Here the tenth part of 0.19 is greater than that of
0.099
∴ 0.099 < 0.19
(g) 1.5 or 1.50
We may find that both numbers have same parts up to the tenth place. Here 1.5 have no digit at
hundredth place. It represents that this digit is 0, which is equal to the digit at hundredth place of 1.50.
∴ Both these numbers are equal
(h) 1.431 or 1.490
Here, both the numbers have same parts up to the tenth place but the hundredth part of 1.490 is
greater than that of 1.431
∴ 1.431 < 1.490
(i) 3.3 or 3.300
Here, both numbers have same parts up to the tenth place. There are no digits at hundredth and
 NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Chapter 8
Decimals

thousandth place of 3.3. It represents that these numbers are 0, which is equal to the digits at hundredth
and thousandth place of 3.300.
∴ Both these numbers are equal
(j) 5.64 or 5.603
Here both numbers have same parts up to the tenth place but the hundredth part of 5.64 is greater
than that of 5.603
∴ 5.64 > 5.603

2. Make five more examples and find the greater number from them.
Solutions:
Five more examples are
(a) 32.55 or 32.5
Whole parts for both the numbers are same. The tenth part are also equal, but the hundredth part
of 32.55 is greater than that of 32.5
Hence, 32.55 > 32.5
(b) 1 or 0.99
The whole part of 1 is greater than that of 0.99
∴ 1 > 0.99
(c) 1.09 or 1.093
Here both the numbers have same parts up to the hundredth. But the thousandth part of 1.093 is
greater than that of 1.09
∴ 1.093 > 1.09
(d) 2 or 1.99
The whole part of 2 is greater than that of 1.99
∴ 2 > 1.99
(e) 2.08 or 2.085
Here both the numbers have same parts up to the hundredth. But the thousandth part of 2.085 is
greater than that of 2.08
∴ 2.085 > 2.08

5. Tina had 20 m 5 cm long cloth. She cuts 4 m 50 cm length of cloth from this for making a
curtain. How much cloth is left with her?
Solutions:
Length of cloth = 20 m 5 cm
= 20.05 m
Length of cloth to make a curtain = 4 m 50 cm
= 4.50 m
Length of cloth left with Tina will be the difference of these two
Thus length of cloth left with her is
20.05
- 4.50
________
15.55
________
∴ The length of the remaining cloth left with Tina is 15.55 m

6. Namita travels 20 km 50 m every day. Out of this she travels 10 km 200 m by bus and the rest
by auto. How much distance does she travel by auto?
Solutions:
Total distance travelled by Namita = 20 km 50 m
= 20.050 km
Distance travelled by bus = 10 km 200 m
= 10.200 km
Distance travelled by auto = Total distance travelled – Distance travelled by bus
∴ Distance to be travelled by auto is
20.050
- 10.200
________
9.850
________
∴ Namita travelled 9.850 km by auto

7. Aakash bought vegetables weighing 10 kg. Out of this, 3 kg 500 g is onions, 2 kg 75 g is tomatoes

Weight of tomatoes = 2 kg 75 g
= 2.075 kg
Weight of potatoes = Total weight of vegetables bought – (weight of onions + weight of tomatoes)
= 10.000 – (3.500 + 2.075)
3.500
+ 2.075
________
5.575
________

10.000
- 5.575
_________
