Answer (1)
How many days are in the month of November? November has 30 days. This is true every year regardless of whether it is a leap year or not.
A Grade 4 teacher asks her learner to compare 2 kg of sugar and 2 kg of peaches. Which one is heavier? Both the sugar and the peaches are 2 kg each. Since they weigh the same, neither is heavier. In this case, the weight of the items is equal.
A learner describes the following characteristics of a figure: (1) It has 4 sides (2) All sides are equal. Which figure is he describing? The learner is describing a square. A square is a four-sided polygon (quadrilateral) where all sides have equal length and each angle is a right angle (90 degrees).
Peter walked 200 m away from the church. After walking for 10 minutes, he stopped. How far was he from the church? Peter walked straight from the church without changing direction, so he was 200 meters away from the church when he stopped.
A shop received 25,749 desks. What is the place value of the digit 5? In the number 25,749, the digit 5 is in the 'thousands' place. Therefore, the place value of the digit 5 is 5,000.
A Grade 4 learner counted 241 cars that passed by their school. Round off the number to the nearest 10. To round 241 to the nearest 10, look at the digit in the ones place, which is 1. Since 1 is less than 5, you round down. So, 241 rounded to the nearest 10 is 240.
