Fractions and decimals are closely related, but working between the two forms can become confusing when questions involve several calculations. Identifying terminating and repeating decimals, multiplying decimal numbers, comparing values, and solving money or measurement-based problems requires careful attention. Students may also find it difficult to understand how a fraction is represented as a decimal and apply the concept correctly in different questions.
The Class 7 Maths Chapter 3 Important Questions offer focused practice on A Peek Beyond the Point. You can practise fraction-to-decimal conversions, recognise decimal patterns, perform decimal calculations, compare values, and solve application-based questions involving everyday quantities.
Try solving the questions independently before checking the answers.

The following questions are based on practical situations involving decimals, fractions, and measurements.
Q10. Rani bought the following from a supermarket:
2 kg of apples at Rs. 85.60 per kg
1.5 kg of mangoes at Rs. 78.40 per kg
2.25 kg of oranges at Rs. 62.80 per kg
What was her total bill?
Answer:
Cost of apples:
2 × Rs. 85.60 = Rs. 171.20
Cost of mangoes:
1.5 × Rs. 78.40 = Rs. 117.60
Cost of oranges:
2.25 × Rs. 62.80 = Rs. 141.30
Total bill:
Rs. 171.20 + Rs. 117.60 + Rs. 141.30 = Rs. 430.10
Therefore, Rani's total bill was Rs. 430.10.
Q11. How much money did she get back?
Answer: The amount of money Rani paid is not given, so the amount returned cannot be calculated.
Q12. It is cut into 5 equal parts. What is the length of each part?
Answer: The original length is not provided. If the original length is L, then the length of each part is:
L ÷ 5
Q13. Each part is further divided into 2 equal parts. What is the length of each smaller part?
Answer: If the original length is L, each smaller part has length:
L ÷ 10
Q14. Multiply the smallest part length by 10 and check the result.
Answer:
If each smallest part has length L ÷ 10, then:
(L ÷ 10) × 10 = L
Thus, multiplying the smallest part length by 10 gives the original length.
Q15. Convert the following fractions into decimals:
(i) 3/4
Answer: 0.75
(ii) 7/12
Answer: 0.5833...
(iii) 11/20
Answer: 0.55
Q16. Mention whether they are terminating or repeating.
Answer:
3/4 = 0.75 → Terminating decimal
7/12 = 0.5833... → Non-terminating repeating decimal
11/20 = 0.55 → Terminating decimal
Q17. Arrange them in ascending order.
Answer:
0.55 < 0.5833... < 0.75
Therefore:
11/20 < 7/12 < ¾
