Free Fractions and Decimals Subjective Test 02 Practice Test - 7th grade 

Question 1

If a number is multiplied by 16 and then divided by 5 the remainder would be zero. What is the least possible number? [1 MARK]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Answer: 1 Mark

Let the number be x

Given x×165 = 1

Hence, x = 30

The least value of the  number is 30

Question 2

Karan covers 3.2 km in 16 seconds.  How far can Karan run in 1 minute? Express it in metres. [2 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
3.2 km = 3200 metres

Given that

Distance covered in 16 seconds = 3200 metres

Distance covered in 1 second = (3200÷16)

 = 200 metres.

1 minute = 60 seconds

Distance covered in 1 minute =60×200

 =12000m

The distance covered in 1 minute is 12000 metres.

Question 3

Arrange the following in descending order. 

(i) 23,421,79

(ii) 45,67,13
[2 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution : Each option: 1 Mark

Now, 79,23,421

The LCM of the denominators of the above fractions = 63

7×79×7, 2×213×21, 4×321×3

4963, 4263, 1263

Hence, arranging in descending order we have

4963>4263>1263

i.e., 79>23>421

(ii) The LCM of the denominators of the given fractions  = 105

Making them like fractions. We have,

1×353×35, 4×215×21, 6×157×15

35105, 84105, 90105

67>45>13

 

Question 4

Express 3460 grams in kilograms.

Now express 1712 kg in grams. [2 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

In kilograms: 1 Mark
In grams: 1 Mark

1 Kilogram = 1000 grams
Or 1 gram=11000 kilograms

Let x kilograms = 3460 g


=(34601000) kilograms

= 3.460 kilograms

3460 grams = 3.460 kilograms

Now 1712 kg=17×2+12

=34+12

=352 kg

=352×1000 gms

=(35×500) gm

=17500 gms

Question 5

Kartik ate 35 part of an apple and Bharat ate the remaining part of the apple. What fraction of the apple did Bharat eat? Who had the larger share and by how much? [2 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution : Each answer: 1 Mark

Given that:
Fraction of the apple Kartik ate =35

Fraction of the apple uneaten =135

=535

=25

This part was eaten by his brother Bharath

Bharath ate 25th part of the apple.

Comparing two fractions we have

35&25

Clearly 35>25

Karthik had the larger share which was larger by 3525=15.

Question 6

How much less is 18km compared to 29000 metres ? [3 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Conversion Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
We know that
1 km=1000 m
Converting kilometers into meters
we have 

18 km = 18×1000=18000 metres

Difference = 29000-18000

                     =11000 metres

                    Or

 29000 metres= 29 km

 Difference     = 29-18

                         =11 km

Question 7

Given that length of a side of an equilateral triangle is 3.4m. Find its perimeter in cm? [3 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Conversion Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

In an equilateral triangle, all the sides are equal.

Let the side of an equilateral triangle be=  a cm   where a= 3.4 m  ( given)

 Now  Perimeter =  a+ a+a=(3a) m

 = (3)*(3.4)

  =10.2m 

Hence perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 10.2m. 

Now, 1 m= 100cm

10.2m=10.2×100 = 1020 cm.

Hence, the perimeter of the triangle is 1020 cm.

Question 8

Mohan finished colouring a picture in 712 hour. Keerthi finished colouring the same picture in 34 hour. Who worked longer? By what fraction was it longer? [3 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution : Steps: 2 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that

Mohan finishes the work in 712 of an hour.

Also given that

Keerthi finishes the work in 34 of an hour.

Now, 712 of an hour

712×60 minutes

35 mins

Again

34 of an hour

34×60

45 minutes

Clearly, Keerthi worked more by 45 - 35 = 10 more minutes.

Now, when expressed as a fraction

1060=16 of an hour.

Alternative Way

Method II

Now, 712 and 34

Making them Like fractions we have

7×112×1 & 3×34×3

i.e. 712<912

Clearly, Keerthi who takes 34th of an hour takes longer than Mohan who takes 712th of an hour.

So, subtracting we have

912712=212=16 of an hour.

Question 9

In cricket, run rate is defined as the number of runs scored divided by the number of overs bowled. Team 'A' scores 260 runs in 50 overs batting first. The other team batting second scores at half the run rate of the team batting first and plays entire 50 overs. How many runs did the team batting second score? [3 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Steps: 1 Mark
Application: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

Given that
Team 'A' scored 260 runs in 50 overs. 
So, run rate of the team batting first =(260/50)

= 5.2 runs per over

The team batting second scored at half the run rate of the team batting first

Run rate of team the  batting second
= (5.2/2)

= 2.6 runs per over

Runs scored by the  team batting second

=(50)×(2.6)

= 130 

Hence, the team batting second scored 130 runs.

Question 10

A circle is divided into 8 equal parts. Given that the area of the shaded portion is 104 m2. Find the area of the unshaded part of the circle.


[4 MARKS]

 

SOLUTION

Solution :

Steps: 2 Marks
Application: 1 Mark
Result: 1 Mark
Given that

Area of the shaded portion = 104 m2

The circle is divided into 8 equal parts

Area of the circle = (8)×104

                           = 20 m2

Area of unshaded part = Total area - shaded area

                                      = 20 - 104 m2
                                      = 80104m2
                                      = 704 = 17.5 m2
Hence, area of the unshaded portion is 17.5 m2

Anubha's father weighs 91 kg.
Anubha's dog's weight=17 of Anubha's father's weight

17×91

91713 kg


Also given
Anubha's mother's weight= 5 times Anubha's dog's weight

=5×13=65 kg

Anubha's mother weighs 65 kg.

Question 14

(a) It is said that the weight of a body on the moon is 16th of its weight on earth. Calculate the weight of a car on the moon if it weighs 420 kg on Earth. 
[4 MARKS]

(b) What is the fraction of coloured squares to the total number of squares?  State your answer in decimals also.

SOLUTION

Solution : Each part: 2 Marks


(a)


Now, the weight of the car in Moon = 16 of its weight on earth.

16 of 420 kg

4206

70 kg

weight of the car in Moon = 70 kg only.


(b) There are 100 squares. 46 out of them are coloured. This picture shows forty-six hundredths.


To write 46 hundredths as a decimal, we use a place value chart.

The answer is 0.46.

Question 15

Car A covers 5.5 km in 4 litres of petrol and another car B covers 1800 metres in 1 litre of petrol. Calculate the mileage per litre of petrol and now calculate which car travels more and by how much distance compared to the other? [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Conversion Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark

Given that
Distance covered by car A in 4 liters of petrol is 5.5 km.
Now 1 km=1000 m.
5.5 km=5500 m

Distance covered by car A in 1 litre of petrol = (5500/4) = 1375 metres

Distance covered by car B in 1 liter of petrol = 1800 meters

So car B travels more compared to car A

Difference = 1800-1375 = 425 metres 
Car B travels  425 meters more than car A
