Roshan wants to buy milk and 3 types of fruit to make fruit custard for 5 people. He estimates Class 6

Question 1.

Roshan wants to buy milk and 3 types of fruit to make fruit custard for 5 people. He estimates the cost to be 100. Do you agree with him? Why or why not? Class 6

Solution:

No. I do not agree. It is because, even the cost of milk or 3 types of fruits required to make custard for 5 people will be separately more than 100. So, his/her estimation is not correct.

Question 2.

Estimate the distance between Gandhinagar (in Gujarat) to Kohima (in Nagaland). Class 6

[Hint: Look at the map of India to locate these cities.]

Solution:

3000 km.

Question 3.

Sheetal is in Grade 6 and says she has spent around 13,000 hours in school till date. Do you agree with her? Why or why not? Class 6

Solution:

No. Before coming to Grade 6, Sheetal must have started studying from Nursery, K.G. to Grade 5 i.e., in all seven grades. In each grade, assuming that the school opened for 200 days per year for a period of 7 hours a day, the total time spent = 7 × 200 × 7 = 49 × 200 hours 9800 hours, which is far less than 13000 hours. Note that we cannot count Grade 6 for this purpose.
