Real Life Connect – Measurement (Class 5 Maths) Real Life Connect – Measurement (Class 5 Maths) 1. Length – Real Life Situation Riya walks from her house to the park which is 750 metres away. After playing, she walks another 250 metres to her friend’s house. How far did Riya walk in total? Also name the instrument used to measure such distances. Show Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Distance from house to park = 750 m Step 2: Distance from park to friend’s house = 250 m Step 3: Total distance = 750 m + 250 m = 1000 m Step 4: 1000 m = 1 kilometre Instrument used: Measuring tape or distance meter 2. Mass – Daily Life Example A packet of sugar weighs 500 grams. A packet of rice weighs 2 kilograms. Find the total mass in grams. Show Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Mass of sugar = 500 g Step 2: Mass of rice = 2 kg Step 3: Convert kg to g → 2 kg = 2000 g Step 4: Total mass = 2000 g + 500 g = 2500 g Instrument used: Weighing balance...

🔴 Measurement means finding the exact size, weight, or amount of something using standard units. 🟠 Length tells us how long or tall an object is. The standard unit of length is metre (m). 🟡 Mass tells us how heavy an object is. The standard unit of mass is gram (g). 🟢 Capacity tells us how much liquid a container can hold. The standard unit of capacity is litre (L). 🔵 Instruments are tools used to measure things, like a ruler for length, a balance for mass, and a measuring jar for capacity. 🟣 Standard units are fixed units used everywhere so that measurements are the same for everyone. 💜 Conversion means changing one unit into another, such as 100 cm = 1 m 1000 g = 1 kg 1000 ml = 1 L
