Fractions and Decimals
In a village, (5/8)th of the population are adults,half of the adults are male,(4/5)th of adult females are illiterate. if 400 females are illiterate, then the population of the village is ?
Let the population of village = N Then, adult's population = 5N/8and adult females = 1/2 x 5N/8 = 5N/16 ∴ illiterate females = 4/5 of adult female population ⇒ 400 = 4/5 x 5N/16 ⇒ N = (400 x 16)/4∴ N = 1600
Sum of the decimal places = 7 .Since the last digit to the extreme right will be zero ( 5 * 4 = 20), so there will be 6 significant digits to the right of the decimal point....
(489.1375 x 0.0483 x 1.956) / (0.0873 x 92.581 x 99.749)= (489 x 0.05 x 2) / (0.09 x 93 x 100)= 489 / (9 x 93 x 10)= (163 / 279) x (1 / 10)= 0.58 / 10= 0.058 or 0.06
