Maths (Cl-2) 8 September 2013

WEIGHT : MASS.
To measure the weight of an object, we must have a standard unit of weight.
Kilogram (kg) is a standard unit of weight.
1 kg = 1000 g.
Conversion : To convert kilogram (kg) into grams (g), multiply the number of kg by 1000 and write g in place of kg.
To convert kg and g into g, multiply the number of kg by 1000 and add to it the number of g.
Example 1 : Convert 6 kg into g.
Solution : We know that 1 kg = 1000 g
                 So                   6 kg = 1000 g x 6 = 6000 g.

Example 2 : Convert 9 kg 800 g into g.
Solution : 9 kg 800 g = 9 x 1000 g + 800 g
                                   = 9000 g +800 g
                                   = 9800 g.

Example 3 : Convert 5430 g into kg and g.
Solution : We know that 1000 g = 1 kg 
                 So                   5430 g = 5000 g + 430 g
                                                    = 5 kg 430 g.

LENGTH - THE KILOMETRE (Km)
The unit Kilometre is used to measure big lengths and long distances. In writing, we use Km as Kilometre.
1 Km = 1000 m
Example 1 : Convert 3482 m into Km and m.
Solution : We know that 1 km = 1000 m
                 So,          3482 m = 3000 m + 482 m
                                             = 3 km + 482 m.
Example 2 : Convert 1008 m into km and m.
Solution : 1008 m = 1000 m + 8 m = 1 km + 8 m.
Example 3 : Convert 1 km 27 m into m.
Solution : 1 km 27 m = 1000 m + 27 m = 1027 m.

ADDITION OF M AND CM.

Example 1 : Add Together : 2 m 30 cm + 3 m 95 cm

Solution :

First Method :

We know that 1 m = 100 cm.

First convert m into cm and then add.

So, 2 m = 2 x 100 = 200 cm

and 3 m = 3 x 100 = 300 cm.

Now we have 2 m 30 cm = 200 cm + 30 cm = 230 cm.

and 3 m 95 cm = 300 cm + 95 cm = 395 cm.

Add 230 cm and 395 cm  = 625 cm = 6 m 25 cm.

Second Method :

Write m and cm in columns and then add.

         m     cm

         2      30

     +  3      95

    __________

         6      25

So 2m 30 cm + 3m 95 cm = 6 m 25 cm.

MEASUREMENT
Q1) How to convert Metre into Centimetre ?
Ans) Just like we learnt in Rupees that Re 1 = 100 p.
         So,                                             1 m = 100 cm.
         So,                                             2 m = 200 cm.
         So,                                             3 m = 300 cm.

A) Convert Metre into Centimetre.
1) 4 m = ____ cm.  2) 5 m = ____ cm.  3) 6 m = ____ cm.  4) 7 m = ____ cm.  5) 8 m = ____ cm.

Q2) How to convert Metre into Centimetre when you have both m and cm in the sum ?
Ans) Suppose we have to convert 2m 34cm into cm.
         So                          2m = 200 cm + 34 cm = 234 cm.
         Again convert 4m 89cm
         So 4m = 400 cm + 89 cm = 489 cm.

A) CONVERT PAISE INTO RUPEES.

As we know that Re 1 = 100 p
So we can also write that 100 p = Re 1
So                                  200 p = Rs 2
So                                  300 p = Rs 3

B) CONVERT PAISE INTO RUPEES.

1) 400 p = Rs _____   2) 500 p = Rs _____   3) 600 p = Rs _____   4) 700 p = Rs ______
5) 800 p = Rs _____   6) 900 p = Rs _____   7) 1000 p = Rs _____  8) 1200 p = Rs _____

Now that we have learnt to convert paise into rupees, how do we change for example 234 p into rupees.
All we have to remember that the last two digits will become paise.
So in the following sum 234 p = Rs 2 and 34 p.
So                               489 p = Rs 4 and 89 p.
So                              1234 p = Rs 12 and 34 p.

Money : Conversion of Rupee into Paise.

      1 Rupee = 100 Paise
So  2 Rupees = 2 x 100 = 200 Paise
      5 Rupees = 5 x 100 = 500 Paise

A) Convert Rupee into Paise.
1) Rs 3 = ______ p.   2) Rs 4 = _____ p.   3) Rs 6 = _____ p.   4) Rs 7 = _____ p.  5) Rs 9 = _____ p.

Suppose if it is given, Rs 3 and 50 p, then how are we going to convert Rupee into paise.
       Rs 3 = 300 p + 50 p = 350 p.
So Rs 4 and 30 p = 400 p + 30 p = 430 p.
So Rs 5 and 60 p = 500 p + 60 p = 560 p.

B) Convert Rupee into Paise.
