A conical cup 36 cm high has diameter of base 28 cm It is full of water. The water was poured into a cylindrical jar of radius of base 10 cm. The height of water in the vessel is

  1. 23.52 cm

  2. 16.92 cm

  3. 11.76 cm

  4. 13.65 cm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Vol. of cylinder =Vol. of cone 
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \pi \times 10^{2}\times h=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi \times 14^{2}\times 36$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow h=23.52cm$

Convert $4\ m\ 45\ cm$ into centimetres.

  1. $445\ cm$
  2. $4450\ cm$
  3. $4.45\ cm$
  4. $4045\ cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

We know that, $1$  $meter =100$  $cm$


To convert  $4$ $m$  $45$  $cm$  to  $centimeter$
Now, $4$ $m = 100 \times 4$  $cm$ $= 400$  $centimeter$
$4$ $m$  $45$  $cm$ $ = 4m + 45cm$
                      $ = 400cm + 45cm$
                      $ = 445cm$

So, Option $A$ is correct

Multiple choice maths problems on measurement basic operations with same units operations involving units of length calculations choosing and converting between units conversion between different units conversion between units

A box contains $4$ bags of sugar. The total mass of all $4$ bags is $7$ kg. What is the mass of each bag in grams?

  1. $1.75$ gms
  2. $17.50$ gms
  3. $175$ gms
  4. $1750$ gms
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Total number of Bags $=4$


Total mass in 4 Bags $=7 kg$

Total mass in $1$ bag $=\dfrac74 $   $kg$

We know that

$1$  $kg =1000$  $gram$

$1$  $gm =\dfrac1{1000}$  $kg$

we have to convert $\dfrac74$  $kg$  to   $grams$


$\dfrac74$  $kg =\dfrac74 \times 1000$  $gm$

                $=1750$  $gm$

So, Option $D $ is correct

  1. $1800$ gms
  2. $180$ gms
  3. $18$ gms
  4. $1.8$ gms
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Total mass of  Winter squash $=1.8$   $kilograms$

We know that

$1$  $kg =1000$  $gram$

$1$  $gm =\dfrac1{1000}$  $kg$

we have to convert $1.8$  $kg$  to   $grams$


$1.8$  $kg =1.8  \times 1000$  $gm$

                $=1800$  $gm$

So, Option $A $ is correct 

Multiple choice maths problems on measurement basic operations with same units operations involving units of length calculations choosing and converting between units conversion between different units conversion between units

Convert $745$ cm into decimeters.

  1. $745\ dm$
  2. $0\ dm\ 745\ cm$
  3. $7\ dm\ 45\ cm$
  4. $74\ dm\ 5\ cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

We know that, $1$  $deci meter =10$  $cm$, $1$  $cm =\dfrac1{10}$  $dm$


$745$  $cm =\dfrac1{10} \times 745$  $dm$

                $=\dfrac{745}{10}   $  $dm$

                 $= 74.5$  $deci meter$  $= 74$  $dm$  $5 $ $cm$

So, Option $D$ is correct

Convert $328\ mm\ 45\ cm$ into meters.

  1. $3.73\ m$
  2. $33.25\ m$
  3. $77.8\ m$
  4. $0.778\ m$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

We know that $1$  $centimeter =10$  $mm$, $1$  $meter =100$  $cm$ and $1$  $meter =1000$  $mm$


or   $1$  $mm =\dfrac{1}{10}$  $cm$ or   $1$  $mm =\dfrac{1}{1000}$  $m$

To convert  $328$ $mm$ $45$  $cm$  to  $meters$

$328\ mm$ $45$  $cm$ $ = 328\ mm + 45cm$

$328$ $mm =\dfrac{1}{1000} \times 328$  $m$ $= 0.328$  $m$

$45$ $cm =\dfrac{1}{100} \times 4 5$  $m$ $= 0.45$  $m$


$328\ mm$ $45$  $cm$ $ = 328\ mm + 45\ cm  =   (0.328+0.45)  m$

                              $ = 0.778$  $m$

Rosy measured a line for his art project. It is $400$ millimeters long. How many centimeters is the line?

  1. $40$ cm
  2. $4$cm
  3. $400$ cm
  4. $0.4$ cm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
The total length of the line is $400$ mm.
We know $1$  $\text{centimeter} =10$ $\text{millimeters}$
$1$ mm $=\dfrac1{10}$ cm
We have to convert the $400$ mm to cm.
$400$ mm $ =\dfrac1{10} \times 400$ cm
$=\dfrac{400}{10}   $ cm
$= 40  $   $\text{centimeter}$
The line is  $40$ cm long.
So, option A is correct.

Convert $3\ km\ 4\ m\ 350\ cm$ into centimetres.

  1. $10750\ cm$
  2. $3750\ cm$
  3. $30750\ cm$
  4. $300750\ cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

We know that, $1$  $kilometer =1000$  $m$


$1$  $meter =100$  $cm$ or   $1$  $kilometer =100,000$  $cm$

To convert  $3$ $km$ $4m$  $350$  $cm$  to  $centimeter$

$3$ $km$ $4\ m$ $350$ $cm$ $ =3km+ 4m + 350cm$

$3$ $km = 100000 \times 3$  $cm$ $= 300000$  $cm$

$4$ $m = 100 \times 4$  $cm$ $= 400$  $cm$

$\therefore 3$ $km$  $4m$ $350$  $cm$ $ =3km+ 4m + 350cm  =   (300000+400+350)  cm$
                                      $ = 300750cm$

Hence, option $D$ is correct.

Convert the following into metres:
$1436\ cm$

  1. $1.436\ m$
  2. $14.36\ m$
  3. $143.6\ m$
  4. $1436\ m$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

We know that


$1$  $meter =100$  $cm$

$1$  $cm =\dfrac1{100}$  $m$

Given That , we have to convert $1436$  $cm$ into $m$

$1436$  $cm =\dfrac{1}{100} \times 1436$  $m$

                $=14.36$  $m$

So, Option $B $ is correct
