Is the sum of the measures of the four angles of the quadrilateral equal to the sum of the measures of the six angles of the two triangles? Verity that this is so with other quadrilaterals. (Textbook pg. no. 84)
Solution:
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 16 Quadrilaterals Practice Set 37 3
m∠PQR = 104°
m∠QRP = 26°
m∠RPQ = 50°
m∠PRS = 34°
m∠RSP = 106°
m∠SPR = 40°
∴ Sum of the measures of the angles of quadrilateral = m∠PQR + m∠QRP + m∠RPQ + m∠PRS + m∠RSP + m∠SPR
= 104° + 26° + 50° + 34° + 106° + 40°
= 360°
Also, we observe that
Sum of the measures of the angles of quadrilateral = Sum of the measures of angles of the two triangles (PQR and PRS)
= (104°+ 26°+ 50°)+ (34° + 106° + 40°)
= 180° + 180°

ii. Let the number be x.
∴ x – 11 represents the number obtained by subtracting 11 from another number x.

iii. Let the number be x.
∴ 15x represents the product of 15 and another number x.

iv. Let the number be x.
∴ 4x = 24 represents four the product of a number x four times.

Question 2.
Find out which operation must be done on both sides of these equations in order to solve them:

  1. x + 9 = 11
  2. x – 4 = 9
  3. 8x = 24
  4. \(\frac { x }{ 6 }\) = 3

Solution:

  1. Subtract 9 from both sides.
  2. Add 4 to both sides.
  3. Divide both sides by 8.
  4. Multiply both sides by 6.

Question 3.
Given below are some equations and the values of the variables. Are these values the solutions to those equations?

No. Equation Value of the Variable Solution (Yes/No)
i. y – 3 = 11 y = 3 No
ii. 17 = n + 7 n = 10
iii. 30 = 5x x = 6
iv. \(\frac { m }{ 2 }\) = 14 m = 7

Solution:

No. Equation Value of the Variable Solution (Yes/No)
i. y – 3 = 11 y = 3 No
ii. 17 = n + 7 n = 10 Yes
iii. 30 = 5x x = 6 Yes
iv. \(\frac { m }{ 2 }\) = 14 m = 7 No

i. y – 3 = 11
∴ y – 3 + 3 = 11 + 3
…. (Adding 3 to both sides)
∴ y + 0 = 14
∴ y = 14

ii. 17 = n + 7
∴ 17 – 7 = n + 7 – 7
…. (Subtracting 7 from both sides)
∴ 17 + (-7) = n + 7 – 7
∴ 10 = n
∴  n = 10

iii. 30 = 5x
∴ \(\frac{30}{5}=\frac{5x}{5}\)
…. (Dividing both sides by 5)
∴  6 = 1x
∴ 6 = x
∴  x = 6

iv. \(\frac { m }{ 2 }\) = 14
∴ \(\frac { m }{ 2 }\) × 2 = 14 × 2
…. (Multiplying both sides by 2)
\(\frac { m\times2 }{ 2\times1 }\) = 28
∴ m = 28

Question 4.
Solve the following equations:
i. y – 5 = 1
ii. 8 = t + 5
iii. 4x = 52
iv. 19 = m – 4
v. \(\frac { p }{ 4 }=9\)
vi. x + 10 = 5
vi. m – 5 = -12
vii. p + 4 = -1
Solution:
i. y – 5 = 1
∴y – 5 + 5 = 1 + 5
…. (Adding 5 to both sides)
∴y + 0 = 6
∴y = 6

ii. 8 = t + 5
∴8 – 5 = t + 5 – 5
……(Subtracting 5 from both sides)
∴8 + (-5) = t + 0
∴ 3 = t
∴t = 3

iii. 4x = 52
∴\(\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{52}{4}\)
…. (Dividing both sides by 4)
∴ 1x = 13
∴ x = 13

iv. 19 = m -4
∴ 19 + 4 = m – 4 + 4
…. (Adding 4 to both sides)
∴ 23 = m + 0
∴ m = 23

v. \(\frac { p }{ 4 }\) = 9
∴ \(\frac { p }{ 4 }\) × 4 = 9 × 4 …. (Multiplying both sides by 4)
∴ \(\frac { p\times4 }{ 4\times1 }=36\)
∴ 1p = 36
∴ p = 36

vi. x + 10 = 5
∴ x + 10 – 10 = 5 – 10
…. (Subtracting 10 from both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 5 + (-10)
∴ x = -5

vii. m – 5 = -12
∴m – 5 + 5 = – 12 + 5
…. (Adding 5 to both sides)
∴m + 0 = -7
∴m = -7

viii. p + 4 = – 1
∴p + 4 – 4 = -1 – 4
…. (Subtracting 4 from both sides)
∴p + 0 = (-1) + (-4)
∴P = -5

Question 5.
Write the given information as an equation and find its solution:
i. Haraba owns some sheep. After selling 34 of them in the market, he still has 176 sheep. How many sheep did Haraba have at first?

ii. Sakshi prepared some jam at home and filled it in bottles. After giving away 7 of the bottles to her friends she still has 12 for herself. How many bottles had she made in all? If she filled 250g of jam in each bottle, what was the total weight of the jam she made?

iii. Archana bought some kilograms of wheat. She requires 12 kg per month and she got enough wheat milled for 3 months. After that, she had 14 kg left. How much wheat had Archana bought altogether?
Solution:
i. Let the number of sheep before selling be x.
∴ x – 34 = 176
∴ x – 34 + 34 = 176 + 34 ….(Adding 34 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 210
∴ x = 210
The number of sheep with Haraba before selling is 210.

ii. Let the total number of bottles be x.
∴ x – 7 = 12
∴ x – 7 + 7 = 12 + 7 ….(Adding 7 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 19
∴ x = 19
Weight of jam in each bottle = 250g
∴ Total weight of jam = 19 × 250g = 4750 g = \(\frac { 4750 }{ 1000 }\)kg = 4.75 kg
∴ The total number of bottles of jam made by Sakshi is 19, and the total weight of jam made is 4.75 kg.

iii. Let the total wheat bought by Archana be x kg.
Wheat used in 1 month = 12 kg
∴ Wheat used in 3 months = 3 × 12 = 36 kg
∴ x – 36 = 14
∴ x – 36 + 36 = 14 + 36 ….(Adding 36 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 50
∴ x = 50
∴ The total amount of wheat bought by Archana was 50 kg.

Question 4.
Avinash traveled 42 km 365 m by bus, 12 km 460 in by car and walked 640 m. How many kilometers did he travel altogether? (Write your answer in decimal fractions)
Solution:
Distance traveled in bus = 42 km 365 m
= 42 km + \(\frac { 365 }{ 1000 }\) km
= 42 km + 0.365 km
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Decimal Fractions Practice Set 14 7
= 42.365 km
Distance travelled in car = 12 km 460 m
= 12 km + \(\frac { 460 }{ 1000 }\) km
= 12 km + 0.460 km
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Decimal Fractions Practice Set 14 8
= 12.460 km
Distance walked = 640 m
= \(\frac { 640 }{ 1000 }\) = 0.640 km
∴ Total distance travelled = Distance travelled in bus + Distance travelled in car + Distance walked
= 42.365 + 12.460 + 0.640
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Decimal Fractions Practice Set 14 9
= 55.465 km

= 4.05 m
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Decimal Fractions Practice Set 14 10
Cost of 1 m of cloth = Rs 120
∴ Cost of 4.05 m of cloth = 4.05 x 120
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Decimal Fractions Practice Set 14 11
∴ Amount to be paid to the shopkeeper is Rs 486.

Question 6.
Sujata bought a watermelon weighing 4.25 kg and gave 1 kg 750 g to the children in her neighbourhood. How much of it does she have left?
Solution:
Total weight of watermelon = 4.25 kg
Weight of watermelon given to children = 1 kg 750 g
= 1 kg + \(\frac { 750 }{ 1000 }\) kg
= 1 kg + 0.75 kg
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Decimal Fractions Practice Set 14 12
= 1.75 kg
∴ Weight of watermelon left = Total weight of watermelon – Weight of watermelon given to children
= 4.25 kg – 1.75 kg
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Decimal Fractions Practice Set 14 13
= 2.5 kg
∴ Weight of watermelon left with Sujata is 2.5 kg.

Question 7.
