NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapte 2 Fractions and Decimals Exercise 2.5

Ex 2.5 Class 7 Maths Question 1.

Which is greater?
(i) 0.5 or 0.05
(ii) 0.7 or 0.5
(iii) 7 or 0.7
(iv) 1.37 or 1.49
(v) 2.03 or 2.30
(vi) 0.8 or 0.88

Solution:

(i) To compare 0.5 and 0.05
Here, the whole number part in each decimal is equal to zero. So, whole number parts are equal. Therefore, we will compare the decimal parts. We observe that the extreme left digits in the decimal parts are 5 and 0, respectively such that 5 > 0.
∴ 0.5 > 0.05

(ii) To compare 0.7 and 0.5
Here, the whole number parts are equal, so we compare the decimal parts. In the decimal parts, the extreme left digits are 7 and 5, respectively such that 7 > 5.
∴ 0.7 > 0.5

(iii) To compare 7 and 0.7
The given decimals have distinct whole numbers, so we compare whole number parts only. These are 7 and 0, respectively such that 7 > 0.
∴ 7 > 0.7

(iv) To compare 1.37 and 1.49
Here, the whole number parts are equal, so we compare the decimal parts. In the decimal parts, the extreme left digits are 3 and 4, respectively such that 3 < 4; i.e., 4 > 3.
∴ 1.49 > 1.37

(v) To compare 2.03 and 2.30
Here, the whole number parts are equal, so we compare the decimal parts. In the decimal parts, the extreme left digits are 0 and 3, respectively such that 0 < 3, i.e., 3 > 0.
∴ 2.30 > 2.03

(vi) To compare 0.8 and 0.88
Here, the whole number parts are equal, so we compare the decimal parts. In decimal part also, digits up to tenths place are equal. So, compare the digits at hundredths place. The digits at hundredths place are 0 and 8 such that 8 > 0.
∴ 0.88 > 0.8

Ex 2.5 Class 7 Maths Question 2.

Solution:

1. Place value of 2 in 2.56 is ones.
2. Place value of 2 in 21.37 is tens.
3. Place value of 2 in 10.25 is tenths.
4. Place value of 2 in 9.42 is hundredths.
5. Place value of 2 in 63.352 is thousandths.

Ex 2.5 Class 7 Maths Question 7.

Solution:

Ex 2.5 Class 7 Maths Question 8.

Shyama bought 5 kg 300 g apples and 3 kg 250 g mangoes. Sarala bought 4 kg 800 g oranges and 4 kg 150 g bananas. Who bought more fruits?

Solution:

Shyama bought apples = 5 kg 300 g
Shyama bought mangoes = 3 kg 250 g
Toal fruits bought by Shyama
= 5 kg 300 g + 3 kg 250 g
= 5.300 kg + 3.250 kg
= 8.550 kg

Sarala bought oranges = 4 kg 800 g
Sarala bought banana = 4 kg 150 g
Total fruits bought by Sarala
= 4 kg 800 g + 4 kg 150 g
= 4.800 kg +4.150 kg
= 8.950 kg

Since, 8.950 > 8.550
∴ Sarala bought more fruits.

Ex 2.5 Class 7 Maths Question 9.
