How Does Class 4 Maths Chapter Money || Convert Rupees into Paise Work?

Converting rupees into paise is like turning big coins into tiny ones you can count easily.

Imagine you have a piggy bank full of coins, some are big, worth 1 rupee each, and others are small, called paise. Just like how 10 small candies make 1 big candy bar, 1 rupee equals 100 paise.

So when you want to change rupees into paise, you just multiply the number of rupees by 100. For example, if you have 2 rupees, that’s like having 200 paise, it's like turning two big coins into 200 tiny ones!

Let's Try an Example

If your friend gives you ₹5 (that's 5 rupees), and you want to know how many paise that is, just do this:

5 × 100 = 500 paise

It’s like turning 5 big coins into 500 little ones, fun and easy!

Now you can count your paise like counting jellybeans, one by one!
