What Is a Kilogram?The standard unit of measurement defined by the International System of Units (SI) to measure mass is called Kilogram. It is represented by the symbol ‘kg’. It is the metric unit to measure the mass of an object and is the standard unit of mass used across the world. The word 'kilo' is derived from a greek word 'kiló' which means 'thousand' ; and the word 'gram' is from a latin word 'gramma' which means 'a small weight'. Kilogram is commonly referred to as 'kilo' and represented as 'kg'. Mass and weight are different quantities of measurement. While mass is measured in 'kg', weight is measured in 'Newton'. Kilogram is the next higher unit to grams.It is used to measure medium to high weighing objects. Kilogram is used to weigh body weight, vegetables, fruits and is denoted by the symbol ‘kg’, where ‘k’ stands for kilo and ‘g’ stands for gram.There are so many objects around us that are of different weights and masses. To measure the mass of any object there are some common units in the metric system of measurement. To know more about metric conversion click here. Kilogram to GramsA gram is also a unit of mass defined by the international system of units(SI). It is one thousandth of a kilogram. It is denoted by the symbol ‘g’ and is used to measure light weighted objects like a pen or a chocolate bar. Hence, the relation between kilogram and grams is given as, 1 kilogram (Kg) = 1000 grams (g). Kilogram to MilligramsAs 1 gram (g) is equal to 1000 milligrams (mg), hence the relation between kilogram and milligrams is given as, 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000000 milligrams (mg). We can convert kilogram into USCS units: pounds, ounces and tons using the below given relations. Kilogram to PoundsThe relation between kilogram and pounds is given as, 1 kilogram (kg) = 2.2 pounds (lb). Kilogram to OuncesThe relation between kilogram and ounces is, 1 kilogram (kg) = 35.274 ounces (oz) as 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. Kilogram to TonsTon is the heaviest unit to measure mass and is denoted by the symbol 't'. It is used to measure high weighing objects like machines, cars, and trucks with heavy loads. The relation between kilogram and tons is given as, 1 kilogram (kg) = 0.0011 ton(t). Now that we learnt to convert kilograms to grams, milligrams, pounds, ounces and ton, let us try these units into kilograms. Topics Related to KilogramTips to Remember

One kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds. We can use the similar relation to convert 3 kgs to pounds. How Many Grams are There in a Kilogram?There are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Similarly it possible to find number of grams in 10 kgs too. How Do You Convert Kilogram to Tons?We can convert kilogram to ton by multiplying the given value by 0.0011. We can convert 6 kgs to tons by multiplying 6 by 0.0011. How Many Ounces are There in a Kilogram?There are 35.274 ounces in a kilogram. Thus, we can find the ounces in 5 kgs also by multiplying it by 35.274 ounces. How Many Kilograms are there in a Ton ?There are 1000 kilograms in a ton. Similarly we use this relation to find number of kilograms in 2 tons. How Many Kilogram are There in a Milligram?There are \(\dfrac{1}{1000000}\) kilogram in a milligram. In order to find kilograms in 4 mgs, we can use the same relation too. How to Convert Pounds to Kilogram?We can convert pounds to kilogram by multiplying the given value by 0.4535. Thus, we can convert 9 pounds to kilograms by multiplying it by 0.4535.
Balance the Weight : Page No 105: Question 1: Choose from the weights above to make the two pans equal. In how many ways can you do it? (a) Draw the weights in the empty pan. Remember, 1kg = 1000 g
Answer: We know 1 kg = 1000 g Thus, 2 kg = 2 ×1000 g = 2000 g Following are the different ways in which we can make the two weights equal. 1) 1 kg + 500 g + 500 g = 2000 g 2) 1 kg + 500 g + 250 g + 250 g = 2000 g 3) 1 kg + 500 g + 250 g + 200 g + 50 g = 2000 g 4) 1 kg + 500 g + 200 g + 200 g + 100 g = 2000 g 5) 1 kg + 250 g + 250 g + 250 g + 200 g + 50 g = 2000 g We can make five different combinations to get 2 kg weight.

Question 2:
In how many different ways can you balance this weight of 3/4 kg?
Answer: We know 1 kg = 1000 g Thus, 1/4 kg = 1000÷4=250 g 3/4kg = 250 g×3=750 gFollowing are the different ways in which we can balance the weight of 3/4 kg: 1) 500 g + 200 g + 50 g = 750 g 2) 250 g + 250 g + 250 g = 750 g 3) 250 g + 250 g + 200 g + 50 g = 750 g Page 3
Practice Time Page No 106: Question 1: • There are 60 mangoes. 1/2 of them are ripe. How many mangoes are ripe? • There are 32 children. 1/2 of them are girls. How many children are boys? • There are 20 stars. A quarter of them are red. How many stars are red? How many are not red? • Ravi wants a pencil. It costs Rs 2. He gives a one-rupee coin, one half-rupee coin and one quarter-rupee coin. Is it enough? Answer: • Total mangoes = 60 1/2 of them are ripe. Number of ripe mangoes = 60 ÷ 2 = 30 30 out of 60 mangoes are ripe. • Total children = 32 1/2 of them are girls. So, 1/2 of them are boys. Number of boys = 32 ÷ 2 = 16 16 out of 32 children are boys. • Total stars = 20 Quarter of them are red, which means 1/4 of them are red. Number of stars that are red = 20 ÷ 4 = 5 5 out of 20 stars are red. Number of stars that are not red = 20 − 5 = 15 • Cost of a pencil = Rs 2 Money given by Ravi = Rs (1 + 0.50 + 0.25) = Rs 1.75 But, the pencil is for Rs 2. Money required = Rs (2.00 − 1.75) = Rs 0.25 Ravi did not give enough money to buy the pencil. Rs 0.25 more is required to buy the pencil. Page 4

Page No 124: Question 1: A frog jumps 3 steps at a time starting from 0. • Count the jumps he takes to reach 27. So, he has taken 27 ÷ 3 = _ _ _ jumps. • He has taken _ _ _ jumps, if he is at 36. • If he is at 42, he has taken _ _ _ jumps. Starting from 0, a rabbit jumps 5 steps at a time. • In how many jumps does he reach 25? _ _ _ • He reaches _ _ _ after taking 8 jumps. • He needs _ _ _ jumps to reach 55. Answer: • Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 3 steps = 1 Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 27 steps = 27 ÷ 3 = 9 So, he has taken 27 ÷ 3 = 9 jumps. • Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 3 steps = 1 Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 36 steps = 36 ÷ 3 = 12 He has taken 12 jumps, if he is at 36. • Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 3 steps = 1 Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 42 steps = 42 ÷ 3 = 14 If he is at 42, he has taken 14 jumps. • Number of jumps taken by the rabbit to cover 5 steps = 1 Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 25 steps = 25 ÷ 5 = 5 Thus, the rabbit will reach 25 in 5 jumps. • Number of steps covered in 1 jump = 5 Number of steps covered in 8 jumps = 5 × 8 = 40 He reaches 40 after taking 8 jumps. • Number of jumps taken by the rabbit to cover 5 steps = 1 Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 55 steps = 55 ÷ 5 = 11 He needs 11 jumps to reach 55.

Page No 125: Question 1: He took 28 shells for one necklace. 112 − 28 = 84 Now he was left with 84 shells. Again he took 28 more shells for the second necklace. • How many shells are left now? _ _ _ Then he took shells for the third necklace. • So he was left with _ _ _ shells. • How many necklaces can Dhruv make from 112 shells? _ _ _ • Are the shells enough for making necklaces for all his friends? _ _ _ Answer: • After making the first necklace, Dhruv was left with 84 shells. Number of shells used for the second necklace = 28 Number of shells left with Dhruv = 84 − 28 = 56 Working: 84-2856Thus, Dhruv was left with 56 shells after making the second necklace. • Dhruv took 28 more shells for making the third necklace. Number of shells left with Dhruv after making third necklace = 56 − 28 = 28 • Dhruv made a necklace of 28 shells for each of his three friends. After making the necklaces for his friends, he was left with 28 shells. So, he could make one more necklace with the remaining shells. Thus, Dhruv could make a total of 4 necklaces with 112 shells. • Yes, the number of shells were enough for making necklaces for all the friends. After making 3 necklaces for his friends, 28 shells were still left with Dhruv. |
