Question 3.
Write the following examples using fraction:
i. If 9 kg rice is shared among 5 people, how many kilograms of rice does each person get?
ii. To make 5 shirts of the same size, 11 meters of cloth is needed. How much cloth is needed for one shirt?
Solution:
i. Total quantity of rice = 9 kg
Number of people = 5
∴ Kilograms of rice received by each person = \(\frac { 9 }{ 5 }\)
∴ Each person will get \(\frac { 9 }{ 5 }\) kg of rice.

ii. Total meters of cloth = 11 meters
Number of shirts to be made = 5
Meters of cloth needed to make 1 shirt = \(\frac { 11 }{ 5 }\)
∴ Cloth needed to make 1 shirt is \(\frac { 11 }{ 5 }\) meters.

Balbharti Maharashtra State Board Class 6 Maths Solutions covers the Std 6 Maths Chapter 12 Percentage Class 6 Practice Set 30 Answers Solutions.

6th Standard Maths Practice Set 30 Answers Chapter 12 Percentage

Question 1.
Shabana scored 736 marks out of 800 in her exams. What was the percentage she scored?
Solution:
Total marks of the examination = 800
Marks scored by Shabana = 736
Suppose Shabana scored A% marks.

∴ A = 92%
∴ Shabana scored 92% marks.

Question 2.
There are 500 students in the school in Dahihanda village. If 350 of them can swim, what percent of them can swim and what percent cannot?
Solution:
Total number of students in the school = 500
Number of students who can swim = 350
Suppose A% students can swim.

∴ A = 70%
Percentage of students who cannot swim = 100% – Percentage of students who can swim .
= 100% – 70% = 30%
∴ 70% of the students can swim and 30% cannot swim.

Question 3.
If Prakash sowed jowar on 75% of the 19500 sq. m. of his land, on how many sq. m. did he actually plant jowar?
Solution:
Total area of the land = 19500 sq. m.
Percentage of area in which Prakash sowed jowar = 75%
Suppose Prakash planted jowar in A sq. m.

∴ A = 14,625 sq. m.
∴ Prakash planted jowar in 14,625 sq.m.

Question 4.
Soham received 40 messages on his birthday. Of these, 90% were birthday greetings. How many other messages did he get besides the greetings?
Solution:
Total messages received by Soham on his birthday = 40
Percentage of messages received for birthday greetings = 90%
Suppose Soham got A number of birthday greetings.

∴ A = 36
∴ Number of messages received other than birthday greetings
= total messages received – total number of birthday greetings
= 40 – 36 = 4
∴ The number of messages received other than birthday greetings is 4.

Question 5.
Of the 5675 people in a village 5448 are literate. What is the percentage of literacy in the village?
Solution:
Number of people in the village = 5675
Number of people who are literate = 5448
Suppose the percentage of literacy in the village is A%.

∴ A = 96%
∴ The percentage of literacy in the village is 96%.

Question 6.
In the elections, 1080 of the 1200 women in Jambhulgaon cast their vote, while 1360 of the 1700 in Wadgaon cast theirs. In which village did a greater proportion of women cast their votes?
Solution:
Total number of women in Jambhulgaon = 1200
Number of women in Jambhulgaon who voted = 1080
Suppose A% women cast their vote in Jambhulgaon village.


∴ A = 90%
In Jambhulgaon, the percentage of women who voted in the elections was 90%.
Total number of women in Wadgaon = 1700 Number of women in Wadgaon who voted = 1360
Suppose B% women cast their vote in Wadgaon.

∴ B = 80%
∴ In Wadgaon, the percentage of women who voted in the elections was 80%.
∴ A greater proportion of women cast their votes in Jambhulgaon.

Question 1.
A Game of Integers. (Textbook pg. no. 20)
The board for playing this game is given in the back cover of the textbook. Place your counters before the number 1. Throw the dice. Look at the number you get. It is a positive number. Count that many boxes and move your counter forward. If a problem is given in that box, solve it. If the answer is a positive number, move your counter that many boxes further. It it is negative, move back by that same number of boxes.

Suppose we have reached the 18th box. Then the answer to the problem in it is -4 + 2 = -2. Now move your counter back by 2 boxes to 16. The one who reaches 100 first, is the winner.

Question 3.
Use color, a thread and a folded paper to draw symmetrical shapes.
Solution:
Take any color, a thread and a folded square paper.
Step 1:
Take a folded square paper which is folded along one of its axis of symmetry.

Step 2:
Open the paper. Draw a square in one comer. Place the thread in the square drawn and apply colour on it as shown in the figure.

Step 3:
Remove the thread. You will see a white patch where the thread was.

Step 4:
Fold the paper and press it along the axis of symmetry. When you unfold the paper, you will see an imprint on the other side of the fold which is identical to the color patch you had made earlier.

Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Chapter 17 Geometrical Constructions Practice Set 40 Questions and Activities

Question 1.
In the above construction, why must the distance in the compass be kept constant? (Textbook pg. no. 90)
Solution:
The point N is at equal distance from points P and Q.
If we change the distance of the compass while drawing arcs from points P and Q, we will not get a point which is at equal distance from P and Q. Hence, the distance in the compass must be kept constant.

Question 2.
The Perpendicular Bisector. (Textbook pg. no. 90)

1. A wooden ‘yoke’ is used for pulling a bullock cart. How is the position of the yoke determined?
2. To do that, a rope is used to measure equal distances from the spine/midline of the bullock cart. Which geometrical property is used here?
3. Find out from the craftsmen or from other experienced persons, why this is done.

Solution:

1. For the bullock cart to be pulled in the correct direction by the yoke, its Centre O should be equidistant from the either sides of the cart.
2. The property of perpendicular bisector is used to make the point equidistant from both the ends
3. A rope is used just like a compass to get equal distances from the spine/midline of bullock cart.

Question 3.
Take a rectangular sheet of paper. Fold the paper so that the lower edge of the paper falls on its top edge, and fold it over again from right to left. Observe the two folds that have formed on the . paper. Verify that each fold is a perpendicular bisector of the other. Then measure the following distances. (Textbook pg. no. 91)
i. l(XP)
ii. l(XA)
iii. l(XB)
iv. l(YP)
v. l(YA)

You will observe that l(XP) = l(YP), l(XA) = l(YA) and l(XB) = l(YB)
Therefore we can conclude that all points on the vertical fold (perpendicular bisector) are equidistant from the endpoints of the horizontal fold.
