Answer : 4. "0.375 & 0.1"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 0.375 & 0.1 Explanation: 3/8 as a Decimal : In this we should convert the denominator into 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,... to make it simple. Now to make 8 into 1000, we multiply numerator and denominator with 125 => 3 x 1258 x 125 = 3751000 = 0.375   1/10 as a Decimal : 1 divided into 10 parts of each 0.1.   Therefore, 3/8 = 0.375 and 1/10 = 0.1 in decimals.

Answer : 4. "15"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 15 Explanation: Let 'K' be the total number of sweets.Given total number of students = 112If sweets are distributed among 112 children,Let number of sweets each student gets = 'L' => K/112 = L ....(1)But on that day students absent = 32 => remaining = 112 - 32 = 80Then, each student gets '6' sweets extra. => K/80 = L + 6 ....(2)from (1) K = 112L substitute in (2), we get112L = 80L + 48032L = 480L = 15 Therefore, 15 sweets were each student originally supposed to get.

Answer : 1. "2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO Explanation: Given Equation is  Mg + O2 → MgO Balancing the Chemical Equation is nothing but Conservation of Matter. As Matter is Neither created nor Destroyed, it must be conserved. Here we have 1 Mg and 2 O on the left side and 1 Mg and 1 O on the right side To balance that, add 1 Mg on the left side so that it becomes 2 Mg and 2 O on the left side i.e, 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO Here it has 2 Mg & 2 O on the left side and 2 Mg and 2 O on the right side and the Chemical equation is Balanced.
