 Question 1. Locate √10 and √17 on the amber line.

Ans:√10

√10 = √(9 + 1) = √((3)2 + 12)

Now let us construct:

  • Draw a line segment AB = 3cm.
  • At point A, draw a perpendicular AX and cut off AC = 1cm.
  • Join BC.

BC = √10cm

Question 4. Without actually performing the long division, find if 987/10500 will have terminating or non-terminating repeating decimal expansion. Give reasons for your answer.

Ans: Given:

The fraction 987/10500

Let us divide numerator and denominator by 21, we get

987/10500 = (987 ÷ 21) / (10500 ÷ 21)

= 47/500

So,

The prime factors for denominator 500 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5

Since it is of the form: 2n, 5n

Hence it is a terminating decimal.

Question 5. Write the decimal expansions of the following numbers which have terminating decimal expansions:

6/15 = (6 ÷ 3) / (15 ÷ 3)

= 2/5

Since the denominator is 5,

It is terminating decimal.

5.d Write the decimal expansions of the following numbers which have terminating decimal expansions

6/15 = 0.4

(v) (2²×7)/54

We know that the denominator is 54

It is a terminating decimal.

(2²×7)/54 = (2 × 2 × 7) / (5 × 5 × 5 × 5)

5.e Write the decimal expansions of the following numbers which have terminating decimal expansions

28/625 = 0.0448

It is a terminating decimal.

(vi) 237/1500

Let us divide both numerator and denominator by 3, we get

237/1500 = (237 ÷ 3) / (1500 ÷ 3)

= 79/500

Since the denominator is 500,

Its factors are, 500 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5

= 22 × 53

It is terminating decimal.

5.f Write the decimal expansions of the following numbers which have terminating decimal expansions

Since the denominator is 5000,

The factors for 5000 are:

6. Write the denominator of the rational number  in the form  where m, n is non-negative integers. Hence, write its decimal expansion on without actual division

5000 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5

= 23 × 54

257/5000 = 257/(23 × 54)

It is a terminating decimal.

So,

Let us multiply both numerator and denominator by 2, we get

257/5000 = (257 × 2) / (5000 × 2)

= 514/10000

= 0.0514

Now, subtract both the values,

9x = 3

x = 3/9

= 1/3

8. bExpress the following numbers in the form p Where p and q are both integers and 

Since there is one repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 10 on both sides, we get

10x = 52.2222…

Now, subtract both the values,

9x = 52 – 5

9x = 47

x = 47/9

8. c Express the following numbers in the form p Where p and q are both integers and 

Let x = 0.404040

Since there is two repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 100 on both sides, we get

100x = 40.404040…

Now, subtract both the values,

99x = 40

x = 40/99

0.404040… = 40/99

8. d Express the following numbers in the form p Where p and q are both integers and 

Since there is one non-repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 10 on both sides, we get

10x = 4.7777

Multiplying by 100 on both sides, we get

1000x = 134.343434

Now, subtract both the values,

990x = 133

x = 133/990

8. f Express the following numbers in the form p Where p and q are both integers and 

Since there is three repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 1000 on both sides, we get

1000x = 1.001001

Now, subtract both the values,

999x = 1

x = 1/999

Question 9. Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational:

(i) √23

(ii) √225

(iii) 0.3796

(iv) 7.478478

(v) 1.101001000100001…

9. Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational

Ans: 

(i) √23

Since, 23 is not a perfect square,

√23 is an irrational number.

(ii) √225

√225 = √(15)2 = 15

Since, 225 is a perfect square,

√225 is a rational number.

(iii) 0.3796

0.3796 = 3796/1000

Since, the decimal expansion is terminating decimal.

0.3796 is a rational number.

(iv) 7.478478

Let x = 7.478478

Since there is three repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 1000 on both sides, we get

1000x = 7478.478478…

Now, subtract both the values,

999x = 7478 – 7

999x = 7471

x = 7471/999

7.478478 = 7471/999

Hence, it is neither terminating nor non-terminating or non-repeating decimal.

7.478478 is an irrational number.

(v) 1.101001000100001…

Since number of zero’s between two consecutive ones are increasing. So it is non-terminating or non-repeating decimal.

1.101001000100001… is an irrational number.

9. Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational

Let x = 345.0456456

Multiplying by 10 on both sides, we get

10x = 3450.456456

Since there is three repeating digit after the decimal point,

Multiplying by 1000 on both sides, we get

1000x = 3450456.456456…

Now, subtract both the values,

10000x – 10x = 3450456 – 345

9990x = 3450111

x = 3450111/9990

Since, it is non-terminating repeating decimal.

Question 14. Find one rational number between √2 and √3.

Ans: √2 is expressed as 1.4142…

√3 is expressed as 1.7320…

So, one rational number between √2 and √3 is 1.5.

Question 15. Find two rational numbers between 2√3 and √15.

Ans: √12 = √(4×3) = 2√3

Since, 12 < 12.25 < 12.96 < 15

So, √12 < √12.25 < √12.96 < √15

Hence, two rational numbers between √12 and √15are [√12.25, √12.96] or [√3.5, √3.6].

Question 16. Insert irrational numbers between √5 and √7.

Ans: Since, 5 < 6 < 7

So, irrational number between √5 and √7 is √6.

Question 17. Insert two irrational numbers between √3 and √7.

Ans: Since, 3 < 4 < 5 < 6 < 7

So,

√3 < √4 < √5 < √6 < √7

But √4 = 2, which is a rational number.

So,

Two irrational numbers between √3 and √7 are √5 and √6.
