Challenge Problems

Question 6.
A squirrel wants to eat the grains quickly. Help the squirrel to find the shortest way to reach the grains. (Use your scale to measure the length of the line segments)

Solution:
The squirrel is in A and the grains are at E
The ways are (i) A → B → C → D → E
(ii) A → G → F → K → E
(iii) A → H → I → J → E
Distance
(i) AB + BC + CD + DE = 2 cm + 2.5 cm + 2.5 cm + 2 cm = 9 cm
(ii) AG + GF + FK + KE = (2.6 + 1.7 + 1.8 + 3) cm = 9.1 cm
(iii) AH + HI + IJ + JE = 3 cm + 2.3 cm + 1 cm + 3.2 cm = 9.5 cm.
1st way ABCDE is the shortest one.

 

Question 7.
A room has a door whose measures are 1 m wide and 2 m 50 cm high.
(i) Can we make a bed of 2 m and 20 cm length and 90 cm wide into the room?
Solution:
Measures of the door length 2 m 50 cm width and lm (100 cm)
(i) Measures of the bed 2 m 20 cm width and 90 cm
Measures of the bed < measures of the door
∴ Yes, we can take the bed into the room.

Question 8.
A post office functions from 10 a.m to 5.45 pm with a lunch break of 1 hour. If the post office works for 6 days a week. Find the total duration of working hours in a week.
Solution:
Working hours in a day = 6 hrs 45 min
= (6 × 60 min) + 45 min
= (360 + 45) min
= 405 min
Total duration of working hours in a week
= 6 × 405 min
= 2430 min
2430/60
810/20
= 40 1/2
= 40 hours 30 minutes

Question 9.
Seetha wakes up at 5.20 a.m. She spends 35 minutes to get ready and travels 15 minutes to reach the railway station. If the train departs exactly at 6 : 00 a.m, will Seetha catch the train?
Solution:
Time of wake up = 5.20 a.m = 5 hour 20 minutes
Time spends = 35 minutes
Then the time = 5 hour 55 minutes
Travelling time to reach railway station = 15 minutes
Now the time will be = 5 hours 70 minutes
= 5 hours (60 + 10) minutes
= 5 hours + (1 hour 10 minutes)
= 6 hours 10 minutes
= 6.10 a.m.
The departure time of the train to get ready = 6.0 a.m.
∴ She will not be able to catch the train.
