1. Form the greatest number less than 1 using digits 5, 8 and 9 only once.
We need to form a decimal number
less than 1, so it must be in the form of `0.XXX`.
We want the
greatest such number using digits 5, 8, and 9 exactly once.
So we place the digits in descending order after the decimal point:

3. Complete the given series.
#### (i) 2.7, 3.2, 3.7, 4.2, ____, ____
Look at the pattern:
- 3.2 - 2.7 = 0.5
- 3.7 - 3.2 = 0.5
- 4.2 - 3.7 = 0.5
So, increasing by
0.5 each time.
Next two terms:
- 4.2 + 0.5 =
4.7
- 4.7 + 0.5 =
5.2
✔ Answer: 4.7, 5.2

#### (ii) 5.73, 6.74, 7.75, ____, ____
Check differences:
- 6.74 - 5.73 = 1.01
- 7.75 - 6.74 = 1.01
So, increasing by
1.01
Next:
- 7.75 + 1.01 =
8.76
- 8.76 + 1.01 =
9.77
✔ Answer: 8.76, 9.77
---
#### (iii) 89.051, 189.061, 289.071, ____, ____
Check differences:
- 189.061 - 89.051 = 100.01
- 289.071 - 189.061 = 100.01
So, increasing by
100.01
Next:
- 289.071 + 100.01 =
389.081
- 389.081 + 100.01 =
489.091
✔ Answer: 389.081, 489.091

4. Find the number:
#### (i) 6 tenths more than 7.245
6 tenths = 0.6
So:
7.245 + 0.6 =
7.845
✔ Answer: 7.845
---
#### (ii) 6 thousandths added to 18.023
6 thousandths = 0.006
18.023 + 0.006 =
18.029
✔ Answer: 18.029
---
#### (iii) 8 tenths and 4 hundredths less than 7
First, convert:
- 8 tenths = 0.8
- 4 hundredths = 0.04
- So total subtracted = 0.8 + 0.04 = 0.84
Now:
7 - 0.84 =
6.16
✔ Answer: 6.16
---
#### (iv) 1 tenth and 5 thousandth more than 9
- 1 tenth = 0.1
- 5 thousandths = 0.005
- Total = 0.1 + 0.005 = 0.105
Now:
9 + 0.105 =
9.105
✔ Answer: 9.105

5. Choose the right answer and fill in the blank.
#### (i) 478.65 ÷ ________ = 47.865
We know that dividing by 10 moves the decimal one place left.
478.65 → 47.865 is a shift of
one decimal place left, so divide by
10.
✔ Answer: (a) 10
---
#### (ii) 137.85 × 10 = ________
Multiplying by 10 → move decimal one place right:
137.85 × 10 =
