Important exam questions with answers
How do we read the number 9,123 according to the chapter?
We read 9,123 as 'Nine thousand one hundred twenty-three.' This shows breaking the number into place values: 9 thousands, 1 hundred, 2 tens, and 3 ones.
Why do we use commas in large numbers like 10,000?
Commas help us read large numbers easily by grouping digits. For example, 10,000 is easier to read than 10000, as commas separate thousands and lakhs in the Indian system.
Explain the place value of digits in the number 1,380.
In 1,380, the place values are: 1 thousand, 3 hundreds, 8 tens, and 0 ones. Understanding this helps in reading and writing numbers correctly.
