Maharashtra State Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 16 Preparation for Algebra Problem Set 54
(7 + 6)
= (8 + 5), (7 + 6)
= (9 + 4) or (8 + 5)
= (9 + 4).
Inequality
The values of 7 + 5 and 7 × 5 are 12 and 35 respectively. It means that they are not equal. To represent ‘not equal’, the symbol ‘≠’ is used.
To show that (7 + 5) and (7 × 5) are not equal, we write (7 + 5) ≠ (7 × 5) in short.
This kind of representation is called an ‘inequality’.
(9 – 5) ≠ (15 ÷ 3) means that the expressions (9 – 5) and (15 ÷ 3) are not equal.
If two expressions are not equal, one of them is greater or smaller than the other.
To show greater or lesser values, we use the symbols ‘<’ and ‘>’. Therefore, these symbols can also be used to show inequalities.
The value of (9 – 5) is 4 and the value of (15 ÷ 3) is 5. 4 < 5, so the relation between (9 – 5) and (15 ÷ 3) can be shown as (9 – 5) < (15 ÷ 3) or (15 ÷ 3) > (9 – 5).
Fill in the boxes between the expressions with <, = or > as required.
(1) (9 + 8) [ ] (30 ÷ 2)
9 + 8 = 17,
30 ÷ 2 = 15
17 > 15
Therefore (9 + 8) [ > ] (30 ÷ 2)
(2) (16 × 3) (4 × 12)
16 × 3 = 48,
4 × 12 = 48,
48 = 48
Therefore (16 × 3) [ = ] (4 × 12)
(3) (16 – 5) [ ] (2 × 7)
16 – 5 = 11,
2 × 7 = 14,
11 < 14
Therefore (16 – 5) [ < ] (2 × 7)
Write a number in the box that will make this statement correct.
(1) (7 × 2) = ( [ ] – 6)
The value of the expression 7 × 2 is 14, so the number in the box has to be one that gives 14 when 6 is subtracted from it. Subtracting 6 from 20 gives us 14.
Therefore (7 × 2) = ( [ 20 ] – 6 )
(2) (24 ÷ 3) < (5 + [ ] )
The value of the expression 24 ÷ 3 is 8, so the number in the box has to be such that when it is added to 5, the sum is greater than 8.
Now, 5 + 1 = 6, 5 + 2 = 7, 5 + 3 = 8. So the number in the box has to be greater than 3.
Therefore, writing any number like 4, 5, 6 … onwards will do. It means that this problem has several answers. (24 ÷ 3) < (5 + [ 4 ] ) is one among many answers. Even if that is true, writing only one answer will be enough to complete this statement.

(2) 7 + 8 = 15 s0, 20 – [ ] = 15.
∴[ ] = 20 – 15 = 5
(3) 7 + 8 = 15 so, 30 + [ ] = 15.
∴ [ ] = 30 + 15 = 2
(4) 7 + 8 = 15 so, 5 x [ ] = 15.
∴[ ] = 15 + 5 = 3
