Q1

1. Case: Suman has a rectangular garden. The length of the garden is 3 meters more than its width. She wants to fence the garden and needs to calculate the total length of the fence required. The width of the garden is represented by w meters.

Questions:

1. Write an algebraic expression for the length of the garden in terms of w.

2. Write an expression for the perimeter of the garden.

3. If the width of the garden is 5 meters, what is the total length of the fence required?

Sol 1

Solution :

1. Length of the garden = w+3 meters (since the length is 3 meters more than the width).

2. Perimeter of the garden = 2 × (Length + Width) = 2 × (w + (w + 3)) = 2 × (2w + 3).

So, the algebraic expression for the perimeter is 4w + 6 meters.

3. If w = 5 meters (width), then:

Length = 5 + 3 = 8 meters.

Perimeter = 2 × (5+8) = 2 × 13 = 26 meters

So, the total length of the fence required is 26 meters.

Q2

2.Case: Ravi is buying pens and notebooks. The cost of a pen is ₹10, and the cost of a notebook is ₹20. He buys some pens and notebooks. Let the number of pens he buys be p and the number of notebooks be n.

Questions:

1. Write an algebraic expression for the total amount Ravi spends on pens and notebooks.

2. If Ravi buys 4 pens and 3 notebooks, how much does he spend in total?

3. If Ravi has ₹150, how many notebooks can he buy if he buys 2 pens?

Sol 2

Solution:

1. Total amount spent = Cost of pens + Cost of notebooks = 10p + 20n

2. If Ravi buys 4 pens and 3 notebooks:

Total cost = 10 × 4 + 20 × 3 = 40 + 60 = 100 rupees. So, Ravi spends ₹ 100 in total.

3. If Ravi has ₹150 and buys 2 pens, the total cost of the pens is 10 × 2 = 20 rupees.

Remaining money = ₹150 - ₹20 = ₹130.

Cost of one notebook = ₹20.

Number of notebooks Ravi can buy = 13020 = 6.5

Since he can't buy half a notebook, Ravi can buy 6 notebooks.
