(iv) 0.00001275 = 1.275 × 10-5

(v) 0.07 = 7 × 10-2

Question 4:

In a stack there are 5 books each of thickness 20 mm and 5 paper sheets each of thickness 0.016 mm. What is the total thickness of the stack?

Answer:

Thickness of each book = 20 mm

Hence, thickness of 5 books = (5 × 20) mm = 100 mm

Thickness of each paper sheet = 0.016 mm

Hence, thickness of 5 paper sheets = (5 × 0.016) mm = 0.080 mm

Total thickness of the stack = Thickness of 5 books + Thickness of 5 paper sheets 

= (100 + 0.080) mm

= 100.08 mm

= 1.0008 × 102 mm
