- Look at the postal rates given in the chart:
Postal items and postal rates in Rs.
Single post card: 0.50
Printed post card: 6.00
Inland letter: 2.50
Letter weighing
i) 20g or less: 5.00
ii) For every additional 20g: 2.00
Parcel weighing:
i) 50g or less: 5.00
ii) For every additional 50g: 3.00
a) How much will you have to pay for stamps on a letter weighing 50 grams?
b) Akash wants to send a parcel of the Math Magic Textbook to his friend Rani in Chennai. The book weighs 200g. See the chart to find the cost of posting the book? - Rahul needs stamps of rupees 25 for his parcel. He went to the post office. Only stamps of Rs 1, Rs 2, Rs 5 and Rs 10 were there at that time. Using those stamps in how many different ways can he make Rs 25? Can you show 5 different ways?
ANSWERS:
- a) Total weight
= 100 x 5 + 35 x 3 + 50 x 1+ 70 x 1+ 10 x 3 + 5 x 4 + 20 x 2 + 10 x 1+10
= 500 + 105 + 50 + 70 + 30 + 20 + 40 + 10 + 10
= 835 kg
b) Total weight = 835 kg
Required weight = 700 kg
Therefore we need to reduce 835 – 700 = 135 kg weight from the cart.
From the table we can see that the weight of 3 sacks of rice = 105 kg
The weight of 3 tables = 30 kg
Total weight of these two = 105 + 30 = 135 kg
Therefore, 3 sacks of rice and 3 tables can remove from the cart to make the weight equal to 700 kg. - The weight of a geometry box is more than a pencil. Hence the pan that has geometry box will go down.
- a) 25 + 40 = 65g
35 + 40 = 75 g
Since 75 are greater than 65, the pan with 35g & 40g will go down.
b) 75 + 75 = 150g
35+ 140 = 175 g
Since 175g is greater than 150g, the pan with 35g & 140g will go down.
c) 55 + 245 + 700 = 1000g
254 + 600 = 854g
Since 1000g is greater than 854g, the pan with 55g, 245g & 700g will go down.
The pan with weights 55g, 245g and 700g is equal to 1 kg.
1000 grams are there in 1 kg. - a) In grams – Pepper , Tea, Mustard seeds, Cardamom, Chilli powder.
b) In kilograms – Onion, Rice, Vegetables, Fruits, Wheat. - Both have the same weight 1 kg.
- Rice – 5kg
Sugar – 1 kg
Mustard seeds – 10kg
Wheat – 3 kg
Dal – 500g
Tea – 250g
Pepper – 25g - Among these the heaviest thing is a bus.
- Train (According to you)
- a) Letter weighing up to 20g = 5 rupees
For every additional 20g = 2 rupees
For additional 10g = 2 rupees
Total cost = 5 + 2 + 2 = 9 rupees.
b) Cost of parcel weighing 50g = 5 rupees
For every additional 50g = 3 rupees
For additional 150g = 3 x 3 =9
Total cost = 9 + 5 =14 rupees. - He can make 25 in the following different ways:
1 x 25, that is 25 stamps of 1 rupee.
2 x 12 + 1, that is 12 stamps of 2 rupees and 1 stamp of 1 rupee.
5 x 5, that is 5 stamps of 5 rupees.
10 x 2 + 5, that is 10 stamps of 2 rupees and 1 stamp of 5 rupees.
10 + 5 x 3, that is 1 stamp of 10 rupees and 3 stamps of 5 rupees.
