5.1 LENGTH
Length is the measurement of something from one end to other end.
Note :
Different devices are used to measure different lengths.

Units of Measuring Length

h The most common units of lengths are kilometre (km), metre (m) and centimetre (cm).
h The kilometre is larger unit than metre. The metre is larger unit than centimetre.

Metric System of Length

÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10

Kilometre Hectometre Decametre Metre Decimetre Centimetre Millimetre

(km) (hm) (dam) (m) (dm) (cm) (mm)
Base Unit

× 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10
Conversion of Units
h To convert metre (m) into centimetre (cm), we multiply the number by 100.
For example :
8 m = 8 × 100 cm = 800 cm
h To convert centimetre (cm) into decimetre (dm), we divide the number by 10.
For example :
400 cm = (400 ÷ 10) dm = 40 dm
h To convert kilometre (km) into hectometre (hm), we multiply the number by 10.
For example :
4 km = 4 × 10 hm = 40 hm

h To convert metre (m) into kilometre (km), we divide the number • To convert the larger unit into

For example : • To convert the smaller unit
6000 m = (6000 ÷ 1000) km = 6 km into larger unit, we divide.

Addition and Subtraction of Lengths
We can add or subtract measures of lengths, as we add or subtract ordinary numbers.
For example :
1. Add 215 m 35 cm and 120 m 59 cm.
m cm
1
215 35
+ 120 59
335 94 = 335 m 94 cm

2. Subtract 20 km 315 m from 52 km 525 m.

km m
52 525
– 20 315
32 210 = 32 km 210 m

5.2 WEIGHT
Weight means how much heavy something or someone is.

Units of Measuring Weight

The most commonly used units of weight are kilogram (kg) and gram (g).
For example :
h Weight of basket of fruits is measured in kilograms.
h Weight of a pen is measured in grams.

Metric System of Weight

÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10

Kilogram Hectogram Decagram Gram (g) Decigram Centigram Milligram

(kg) (hg) (dag) Base Unit (dg) (cg) (mg)

× 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10
Conversion of Units
h To convert kilogram (kg) into gram (g), we multiply the number by 1000.
For example :
5 kg = 5 × 1000 g = 5000 g
h To convert gram (g) into decagram (dag), we divide the number by 10.
For example :
80 g = (80 ÷ 10) dag = 8 dag

Addition and Subtraction of Weights

We can add or subtract measures of weights, as we add or subtract ordinary numbers.
For example :
h Add 12 kg 565 g and 27 kg 302 g.
kg g
12 565
+ 27 302
39 867 = 39 kg 867 g

h Subtract 40 kg 630 g from 62 kg 460 g.

kg g
12 14
62 460
– 40 630
21 830 = 21 kg 830 g

5.3 CAPACITY
The quantity of liquid which a container can hold is called its capacity.

Units of Measuring Capacity

The most commonly used units of capacity are litres (L) and millilitres (mL) .

Metric system of Capacity

÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10

Kilolitre Hectolitre Decalitre Litre (L) Decilitre Centilitre Millilitre

(kL) (hL) (daL) Base Unit (dL) (cL) (mL)

× 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

Conversion of Units
h To convert litre (L) into millilitre (mL), we multiply the number by 1000.
For example : 8 litres = 8 × 1000 mL = 8000 mL
h To convert millilitre (mL) into centilitre (cL), we divide the number by 10.
For example : 70 mL = (70 ÷ 10) cL = 7 cL

Addition and Subtraction of Capacity

We can add or subtract capacity, as we add or subtract ordinary numbers.
For example :
h Add 148 L 218 mL and 16 L 755 mL.
L mL
1 1
148 218

A.M. and P.M.

There are 24 hours in a day but a clock shows only 12 hours time. So when we read 6 O’ clock on the
clock, we don’t know whether its morning time or evening time.
Therefore, we use a.m. and p.m. to distinguish different parts of the day.
A.M. is short form of ante meridiem which means before midday.
P.M. is short form of post meridiem which means after midday.
12 O’clock in the night is midnight.
12 O’clock in the day is midday also called noon.

Conversion of Time
Olympiad Bite
Converting bigger units into smaller units
h Convert : 5 days into hours. • 1 Day = 24 hours
Since, 1 day = 24 hours • 1 hour = 60 minutes
Therefore, 5 days = (5 × 24) hours = 120 hours • 1 minute = 60 seconds
h Convert : 3 hours into minutes.
Since, 1 hour = 60 minutes
Therefore, 3 hours = (3 × 60) minutes = 180 minutes
h Convert : 7 minutes into seconds.
Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds
Therefore, 7 minutes = (7 × 60) seconds = 420 seconds

24 Hour Clock Time

The 24 hour clock time is another way of telling time in which the time begins from midnight to next
midnight. It does not use a.m. or p.m.
A time in this format is written as
Hours : Minutes Olympiad Bite
For example : • 24:00 and 00:00 means same time,
h 5 a.m. is written as 05:00 i.e., midnight.
• Duration of an activity means time

A calendar shows us the days and the months of a year.
From calendar, we observe that
h There are 12 months in a year.
h There are 7 days in a week.
h There are 365 days in an ordinary (non-leap) year and 366 days in a leap year.

5.6 MONEY
Units of Money
In India money is calculated in Rupees and Paise.
When the amount has rupees and paise both, we separate the rupees and paise by putting a dot between
them.
The numeral to the right of the dot is paise and to the left is rupees. Paise is written in two digits.
For example :
h ` 18 and 56 paise is written as ` 18.56
h ` 20 and 5 paise is written as ` 20.05.

Operations on Money
Addition and Subtraction of Money
For example : Rupees Paise
h Add ` 105.25 and ` 25.20 1

Step 1 : Arrange the amounts in specific columns. 105 . 25

+  25 . 20
Step 2 : Perform ordinary addition. = ` 130.45
130 . 45
Step 3 : Place the decimal points in the sum.
h Subtract ` 28.50 from ` 95.72 Rupees Paise

Step 1 : Arrange the amounts in specific columns. 95 . 72
Step 2 : Perform ordinary subtraction. – 28 . 50
Step 3 : Place the decimal point in the subtraction. 67 . 22 = ` 67.22

Multiplication and Division of Money

in product & quotient.
For example :

1. (A) : 44 km 29 m + 13 km 500 m = 57 km 529 m = 3560 paise
Now, 57 km 529 m – 9 km 200 m = 48 km 329 m (B) ` 20.90 = 20.90 × 100 paise = 2090 paise
So, 44 km 29 m + 13 km 500 m – 9 km 200 m (C) ` 142.50 = 142.50 × 100 paise = 14250 paise

2. (C) : Weight of Karan = 56 kg 250 g EXERCISE
Weight of Karan’s brother = 45 kg 850 g 1. (C) : Number of working hours in a day = 8
So, total weight = 56 kg 250 g + 45 kg 850 g Number of working hours in 2 weeks = 8 × 14 = 112
= 56250 g + 45850 g = 102100 g Amount of money earned in 1 hour = ` 15

3. (B) : 3 kg 500 g + 1000 mg = ` (15 × 112) = ` 1680
= 3000 g + 500 g + 1 g 2. (A) : Quantity of sugar bought from shop P
= 3501 g = 30 kg 500 g = 30500 g
and 4 kg 200 g + 2000 mg Quantity of sugar bought from shop Q
= 4000 g + 200 g + 2g = 20 kg 750 g = 20750 g
= 4202 g \ Amount of sugar bought from shop P more than
So, 3501 g < 4202 g shop Q = 30500 g – 20750 g = 9750 g

4. (D) : Total length of cloth = 5 m 30 cm
Length of cloth needed to make the curtain 3. (B) : Weight of 1 = 180 g
= 3 m 70 cm
So, remaining length of cloth = 5 m 30 cm – 3 m 70 cm Weight of 3 +1 = 360 g
= 530 cm – 370 cm ⇒ Weight of 3 + 180 g = 360 g
= 160 cm or 1 m 60 cm
⇒ Weight of 3 = 360 g – 180 g = 180 g
5. (B) : 28 L 325 mL + 15 L 120 mL = 43 L 445 mL
Now, 43 L 445 mL – 18 L 210 mL = 25 L 235 mL 180
⇒ Weight of 1 = g = 60 g
So, 28 L 325 mL + 15 L 120 mL – 18 L 210 mL 3
= 25 L 235 mL 4. (B) : 10 g 45 mg + 12 g 105 mg = 22 g 150 mg

(B) 2 m 10 cm = 200 cm + 10 cm = 210 cm Also, cost of toy car + cost of toy bike = ` 1085
 (Because 1 m = 100 cm) ⇒ Cost of toy bike + ` 45 + cost of toy bike
(C) 24570 m = 24 km 570 m = ` 1085
1 ⇒ Cost of 2 toy bikes = ` 1085 – ` 45 = ` 1040

Capacity of 9 small containers = 400 × 9 = 3600 mL Five days before 16th November is 11th November.
Capacity of 1 big container = 1500 mL So, Soham’s birthday is on 11th November.
Capacity of 2 big containers = 1500 × 2 = 3000 mL
20. (D) : Weight of Gaurav = 72 kg

Distance walked by Amit = 3 km 212 m = 3212 m Capacity of 5 such beakers = 5 × 3600 mL
Distance walked by Shilpa more than Amit = 18000 mL = 18 L

26. (B) : Total length of cloth purchased by Manish on grocery = ` 3800

As, 95250 > 81252 > 50520 is (530 – 510) mL = 20 mL more than the petrol
So, the correct descending order is R, P, Q. used on Friday.

+ + + = 2000 g = 15 + 21 = 36
and weight of + + = 900 g 23. (A) : Cost of necklace = ` 5824
Amount saved by Avika in 1 month = ` 416
So, 900 g + 900 g + weight of = 2000 g
Amount saved by her in 12 months = ` (416 × 12)
⇒ Weight of = 2000 g – 1800 g = 200 g = ` 4992
\ Amount of more money she needed to save
⇒ Weight of + + 200 g = 900 g
= ` (5824 – 4992) = ` 832
⇒ Weight of + = 900 g – 200 g = 700 g 24. (C) : Weight of 1 = 2 kg
Weight of 2 = Weight of 10
⇒ Weight of = 700 g ÷ 2 = 350 g
⇒ Weight of 2 = 10 × 2 kg = 20 kg
So, weight of + = 350 g + 200 g = 550 g
