Given expression is, 0.004 x 0.04 x 0.4 x 0.0004The multiplication value without decimal point = 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 256Sum of the number of decimal places in the given numbers = 3 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 10Now, in the product, the decimal point is marked off to obtain as many places of decimal.Then the answer is 0.0000000256.
Let the length of lamppost = L mThen,first part = L/3and second part = (3/8) x L/3 = L/8 and third part = 6 m 50 cm = 6.50 mFirst part + second part + Third part = length of lamppost ⇒ L/3 + L/8 + 6.5 = L ⇒ L - L/3 - L/8 =6.5 ⇒ (24L - 8L - 3L)/24 = 6.5 ⇒ 13L/24 = 6.5 ∴ L = (65.x 24)/13 = 12 m
