IMPORTANT POINTS
1. Place-Value (Local Value) : The place value (Local-value) of a digit depends upon the position, it occupies in the number:
For example :
In the number 6453the place value of 6 is 6 thousand = 6 x 1000 = 6000
the place value of 4 is 4 hundred = 4 x 100 = 400
the place value of 5 is 5 ten = 5 x 10 = 50
the place value of 3 is 3 one = 3 x 1 = 3
2. Face-Value (True-Value) : Each digit in a number has a fixed value, regardless to its position in the number
For Example :
In the above number 6453Face value of 6 is 6, 4 is 4, 5 is 5 and 3 is 3
3. An Abstract Number : Which does not refer to any particular unit e.g., 3, 5, 9.
4. A Concrete Number : Which refers to particular unit e.g., 3 boys, 5 girls, 9 rooms etc.
The smallest (least) one digit Number is 1.
The largest (greatest) one digit number is 9.

But the digits at the third place from the left are different, the first number has 2 and the second number has 4.
Since 2 < 4
45427 is greater
(ii) 380362 or 381007
We observe that both the numbers are of 6-digits.
And at the digits at leftmost and second place from the left are same.
But the digits at the third place from the left are different, the first number has 0 and the second number has 1.
Since 0 < 1
381007 is greater
(iii) 63520 or 63250
We observe that both the numbers are of 5-digits.
And at the digits at leftmost and second place from the left are same.
But the digits at the third place from the left are different, the first number has 5 and the second number has 2.
Since 5 < 2
63520 is greater

Solution:
A = 7,43,000
B = 8,00,100
B is greater than A. (B > A)
Because = B – A
Since A = 7, 43, 000 and B = 800,100 and both the numbers have 6 digits.
And at the leftmost, the first number has 7 and the second number has 8.
Since 8 > 7

Question 13.
Mohani has 30 m cloth and she wants to make some shirts for her son. If each shirt requires 2 m 30 cm cloth, how many shirts, in all, can be made and how much length of cloth will be lefft ?
Solution:
Total length of cloth available = 30 m or 30 x 100 = 3000 cm
Shirt made by using 2m 30cm (230 cm) cloth = 1
Shirts made by using 30 m cloth =
x 3000 = 13.04 = 13 shirts
x 3000 = 13.04 = 13 shirtsCloth required to make 13 shirts = 230 x 13 = 2990 cm or 29 m 90 cm
Hence, remaining cloth = 30 m – 29 m = 1m
The weight of a box is 4 kg 800 gm. What is the total weight of 150 boxes?>
