Chapter Measurements 11 Let Us Learn About • estimating and measuring length and distance. • conversion, addition and subtraction of length. • weighing objects using simple balance. • conversion of units of capacity. • comparing capacities using different containers. Concept 11.1: Conversion of Standard Units of Length Think Farida went with her mother to a shop to buy a piece of cloth for a dress. Her mother asked the shopkeeper to give two metres of the cloth. How do you think the shopkeeper should measure two metres of the cloth? Recall We know that people sometimes measure lengths of objects using their hands or feet. But the size of the body parts differ from person to person. So, the length of the same object also differs when measured by different people. Suppose a boy and a grown-up measure the same object. We see that the measures of the object are different. So, measures such as hand span, cubit, leg span and so on are called non-standard units.

By using our hand span, we can measure the lengths of the following objects. Fill in the blanks with the measurements obtained. a) Window of your classroom - _____________. b) The benches on which you sit - _____________. c) The blackboard - _____________. d) Your math notebook - _____________. e) School bag - ____________. To express measurement in an exact way, standard units were developed. The measurement of object remains the same, anywhere in the world when these standard units are used. Measures of Length Centimetre: It is a unit of length used to measure the length of pencil, the sides of a book and so on. We write centimetres as cm. Metre: It is the standard unit of length. It is used to measure length of a piece of cloth, a wall and so on. We write metres as m. Kilometre: It is a unit of length larger than the metre. It is used to measure the distance between two places, length of a river and so on. We write it as km. & Remembering and Understanding Measure the length of a blackboard with your hand span. Ask your friends to do the same and note the readings. Did everyone get the same measurement? What do you observe by this? We observe that the readings are different. So, we need a standard measurement. If all of us use the same standard instrument to measure length, there will be no difference in the measurements. Instruments such as a scale, a tape and so on, are used to measure lengths throughout the world. These are known as standard instruments. A scale is used to measure the length in centimetres and inches. A measuring tape is used to measure longer lengths in like metres and kilometres.

Can we use a measuring tape to measure smaller lengths? Yes, for that we should know to convert the measurements. Conversion of length We can convert one unit of measurement into another using the relation between them. Relation between units of length 1 m = 100 cm 1 km = 1000 m Let us understand the conversion of larger units to smaller through a few examples. Example 1: Convert: a) 4 m into cm b) 8 m 6 cm into cm c) 5 km into m d) 6 km 4 m into m Solution: a) To convert metre into centimetre, multiply by 100. b) To convert kilometre into metre, multiply by 1000. c) To convert kilometre and metre into metre, convert kilometre to metre and add it to the metre. Solved Solve these a) Conversion of m into cm: 7 m = _______________ cm 4 m = ___________ cm 1 m = 100 cm 4 m = 4 ×100 cm = 400 cm 4 m = 400 cm b) Conversion of m and cm into cm: 8 m 6 cm = ____________ cm 4 m 5 cm = ___________ cm 1 m = 100 cm So, 8 m = 8 ×100 cm = 800 cm 8 m 6 cm = (800 + 6) cm = 806 cm 31 1/7/2019 2:30:36 PM NR_BGM_9789386663214 MAPLE G03 INTEGRATED TEXTBOOK TERM 3_Text.pdf 54
Solved Solve these c) Conversion of km to m: 7 km = ___________ m 5 km = __________ m 4 km 9 m = ___________ cm 1 km = 1000 m 5 km = 5 ×1000 m = 5000 m 5 km = 5000 m d) Conversion of km and m into m: 6 km 4 m = ___________ m 1 km = 1000 m So, 6 km = 6 ×1000 m = 6000 m 6 km 4 m = (6000 + 4) m = 6004 m We can add or subtract lengths just as like we add or subtract numbers. Remember to write the units beside the sum or difference. Note: Introduce ‘0’ in the hundreds place, if the number in the metre of the kilometre has only 2 digits. Addition of lengths Example 2: Add: a) 25 m 16 cm and 32 m 30 cm b) 34 km 450 m and 125 km 235 m Solution: Write the numbers in columns, one below the other.

Solution: The length of the rope bought by Sunny = 20 m 12 cm m cm The length of the rope bought by Bunny = 12 m 20 cm 20 12 The total length of the ropes = 20 m 12 cm + 12 m 20 cm + 12 20 Therefore, the total length of the rope bought by both of 32 32 them = 32 m 32 cm 33 NR_BGM_9789386663214 MAPLE G03 INTEGRATED TEXTBOOK TERM 3_Text.pdf 56 1/7/2019 2:30:36 PM
Example 5: Raj’s house was at a distance of 36 km 119 m from his uncle’s house. He travelled by a car for 14 km 116 m from his uncle’s house. How much more distance has to be covered by Raj to reach his house? Solution: Distance between Raj’s house and his uncle’s house km m 119 = 36 km 119 m 36 116 − 14 003 Distance travelled by Raj to his house = 14 km 116 m Distance left to be covered = 36 km 119 m – 14 km 116 m 22 Therefore, the distance to be covered to reach Raj’s house is 22 km 3 m.

Concept 11.2: Conversion of Standard Units of Weight Think Farida went to the market with her father. They bought several things like vegetables, sweets and fruits. The shopkeeper measured the vegetables with a machine. He used some units to tell the weight. Do you know which units he used? Recall The weight of an object is the measure of its heaviness. Different objects have different weights. We use standard units to measure the weights of objects around us. The standard unit of weight is kilogram. We write kilogram as ‘kg’. Another unit of weight is gram. We write gram as ‘g’. The unit of weight smaller than the gram is milligram. We write milligram as ‘mg’. Milligram (mg) is the unit used for weighing medicines, tablets and so on. Gram (g) is used for weighing objects such as pencils, books, and spices. Kilogram (kg) is used for weighing heavier objects such as rice, wheat, and flour. 35 1/7/2019 2:30:36 PM NR_BGM_9789386663214 MAPLE G03 INTEGRATED TEXTBOOK TERM 3_Text.pdf 58
& Remembering and Understanding Sometimes, to measure the weight of an object, we need the smaller unit instead of the larger unit. For this, we need to convert the units for appropriate measurement. Let us see how we can convert weights. Conversion of weights We can convert larger units of weights into smaller units using the relation between them. Relation between units of weight 1 g = 1000 mg 1 kg = 1000 g Let us understand the conversion through a few examples. Example 7: Convert 4 kg into grams. Solution: To convert kilogram into gram, multiply by 1000. Solved Solve this 4 kg to grams 6 kg to grams 1 kg = 1000 g So, 4 kg = 4 × 1000 g = 4000 g Example 8: Convert 3 kg 150 g into grams. Solution: To convert kilogram and gram into gram, convert kilogram to gram and add it to the gram. Solved Solve this 3 kg 150 g to grams 4 kg 20 g to grams 1 kg = 1000 g So, 3 kg = 3 × 1000 g = 3000 g 3 kg 150 g = 3000 g + 150 g = 3150 g Measurements 36 NR_BGM_9789386663214 MAPLE G03 INTEGRATED TEXTBOOK TERM 3_Text.pdf 59 1/7/2019 2:30:36 PM
We add or subtract weights just as we add or subtract numbers. Remember to write the unit beside the sum or difference. Note: Introduce ‘0’ in the hundreds place if the milligram of the gram or the gram of the kilogram has only 2 digits. Addition of weights Example 9: Add: a) 15 g 150 mg and 23 g 285 mg b) 17 kg 706 g and 108 kg 189 g Solution: Write the numbers in the columns, one below the other.

Example 11: Rahul had a bag full of vegetables which weighed 17 kg 241 g. His friend had another bag of vegetables weighing 21 kg 243 g. What is the total weight of the vegetables in both the bags? kg g Solution: Weight of the vegetables in Rahul’s bag = 17 kg 241 g 17 241 Weight of the vegetables in friend’s bag = 21 kg 243 g + 21 243 The total weight of the vegetables in both the 38 484 bags = 17 kg 241 g + 21 kg 243 g = 38 kg 484 g Therefore, the total weight of vegetables in Rahul’s and his friend’s bag is 38 kg 484 g. Example 12: Reena got a box of pins which weighed 43 g 132 mg. She took out 11 g 100 mg of pins. What is the weight of the pins left in the box? Solution: The weight of pins in the box = 43 g 132 mg g mg The weight of pins taken out from the box = 11 g 100 mg 43 132 The weight of the remaining pins in the box = − 11 100 43 g 132 mg – 11 g 100 mg = 32 g 032 mg Therefore, the weight of the remaining pins is 32 g 32 mg 32 032 Measurements 38 NR_BGM_9789386663214 MAPLE G03 INTEGRATED TEXTBOOK TERM 3_Text.pdf 61 1/7/2019 2:30:36 PM
Higher Order Thinking Skills (H.O.T.S.) Let us now see how we use standard units of weight in real-life situations. Example 13: Suresh bought apples, grapes and a watermelon. The total weight of the fruits in his bag is 3 kg 750 g. The weight of apples is 1 kg 100 g and grapes is 1 kg 150 g. What is the weight of the watermelon? Solution: Suresh had 3 kinds of fruits: apples, grapes and a watermelon in his bag. Weight of apples = 1 kg 100 g kg g Weight of grapes = 1 kg 150 g 1 100 Total weight of apples and grapes = 1 kg 100 g + 1 kg 150 g +1 150 2 250 Therefore, the weight of apples and grapes together is 2 kg 250 g. Weight of watermelon = w eight of the bag − total weight of apples and grapes Weight of the bag = 3 kg 750 g kg g Weight of apples and grapes together = 2 kg 250 g 3 750 Weight of watermelon = 3 kg 750 g – 2 kg 250 g − 2 250 Therefore, the weight of watermelon is 1 kg 500 g. 1 500 Concept 11.3: Conversion of Standard Units of Volume Think Farida’s 10 cousins visited her during their summer vacation. Farida bought two big bottles of cold drink. If each takes a glassful, can she serve equally to all? Recall Bottles and glasses come in different sizes. We cannot specify the quantity of cold drink served in bottles and glasses as they are non-standard units.

standard unit for measuring the quantity of liquids. Commonly used containers for measuring the quantity of liquids are shown. The quantity of liquid (water, oil, milk and so on) that a container can hold is called its capacity or volume. Standard units of capacity are millilitres, litres and kilolitres. The standard unit of capacity or volume is litre, denoted by ‘ℓ’. The unit smaller than a litre that is used for measuring capacity is called millilitre. We write it as ‘mℓ’. & Remembering and Understanding To find the measure of the quantity of the smaller units, we need to convert the larger unit to smaller unit. Conversion of units of capacity We can convert one unit of measurement into another using the relation between them. Relation between units of capacity 1 litre = 1000 millilitres 1 kilolitre = 1000 litres Let us understand the conversion of capacity from larger units to smaller units through a few examples. To convert litres into millilitres, multiply by 1000. Example 14: Convert 2ℓ 269 mℓ into millilitres. Solution: To convert litres and millilitres into millilitres, convert litres to millilitres and add it to the millilitres. Solved Solve this 3 ℓ 750 mℓ to millilitre 2ℓ 269 mℓ to millilitre 1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ So, 2 ℓ = 2 × 1000 mℓ = 2000 mℓ 2 ℓ 269 mℓ = 2000 mℓ + 269 mℓ = 2269 mℓ Measurements 40 NR_BGM_9789386663214 MAPLE G03 INTEGRATED TEXTBOOK TERM 3_Text.pdf 63 1/7/2019 2:30:36 PM

Application Let us solve some real-life examples where conversion of units, addition and subtraction of volumes are used. Example 17: Seema has a 2 ℓ packet of milk. Express the quantity of milk in millilitres. Solution: Quantity of milk that Seema has = 2 ℓ As 1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ, 2 ℓ = 2 × 1000 = 2000 m ℓ. Therefore, Seema has 2000 mℓ of milk. Example 18: The capacity of a tank is 20 litres. The volume of water in the tank is 13 litres. How much more water is needed to fill the tank? Solution: The capacity of the tank = 20 litres 1 ℓ Volume of water in the tank = 13 litres \\2 10 Quantity of water needed to fill the tank −1 0\\ = 20 litres – 13 litres = 7 litres 0 3 7 Therefore, 7 more litres of water is needed to fill the tank.

We can arrange the data given in the form of a table. We first identify different items in the data and list them out in the first column of the table. In the second column, every item of one type is denoted by drawing a vertical line (⎮). This vertical line is called tally mark. To represent 5 items we draw 4 vertical lines and cross them with the fifth line. ( ) In the third column, we write the count of these tally marks. Let us see a few examples to understand the concept better.
