### ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES

Activity: Decode the Names of Dresses

If [tex]$A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4$[/tex], and so on, decode the names of the dresses. Then, use the Internet to find out the names of the states where these dresses are worn.

#### NAME OF THE DRESS

1. [tex]$16 \quad 21 \quad 1 \quad 14$[/tex]
2. [tex]$22 \quad 1 \quad 20 \quad 3 \quad 8 \quad 9$[/tex]
3. [tex]$18 \quad 9 \quad 11 \quad 21 \quad 20 \quad 21$[/tex]
4. [tex]$19 \quad 1 \quad 18 \quad 15 \quad 14 \quad 7$[/tex]
5. [tex]$10 \quad 1 \quad 9 \quad 14 \quad 19 \quad 5 \quad 13$[/tex]

Alright class, today we will be decoding the names of dresses using the given numerical representation for letters, where [tex]\( A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4 \)[/tex], and so on, up to [tex]\( Z = 26 \)[/tex]. After decoding the names, we will identify the states where these dresses are traditionally worn.

Let’s decode each dress name one by one:

### Dress 1:
- Numbers: [tex]\( 16 \quad 21 \quad 1 \quad 14 \)[/tex]
- Conversion:
- [tex]\( 16 \rightarrow P \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 21 \rightarrow U \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 1 \rightarrow A \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 14 \rightarrow N \)[/tex]

So, the name of the dress is "PUAN".

### Dress 2:
- Numbers: [tex]\( 22 \quad 1 \quad 20 \quad 3 \quad 8 \quad 9 \)[/tex]
- Conversion:
- [tex]\( 22 \rightarrow V \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 1 \rightarrow A \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 20 \rightarrow T \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 3 \rightarrow C \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 8 \rightarrow H \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 9 \rightarrow I \)[/tex]

So, the name of the dress is "VATCHI".

### Dress 3:
- Numbers: [tex]\( 18 \quad 9 \quad 11 \quad 21 \quad 20 \quad 21 \)[/tex]
- Conversion:
- [tex]\( 18 \rightarrow R \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 9 \rightarrow I \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 11 \rightarrow K \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 21 \rightarrow U \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 20 \rightarrow T \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 21 \rightarrow U \)[/tex]

So, the name of the dress is "RIKUTU".

### Dress 4:
- Numbers: [tex]\( 19 \quad 1 \quad 18 \quad 15 \quad 14 \quad 7 \)[/tex]
- Conversion:
- [tex]\( 19 \rightarrow S \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 1 \rightarrow A \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 18 \rightarrow R \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 15 \rightarrow O \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 14 \rightarrow N \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 7 \rightarrow G \)[/tex]

So, the name of the dress is "SARONG".

### Dress 5:
- Numbers: [tex]\( 10 \quad 1 \quad 9 \quad 14 \quad 19 \quad 5 \quad 13 \)[/tex]
- Conversion:
- [tex]\( 10 \rightarrow J \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 1 \rightarrow A \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 9 \rightarrow I \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 14 \rightarrow N \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 19 \rightarrow S \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 5 \rightarrow E \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( 13 \rightarrow M \)[/tex]

So, the name of the dress is "JAINSEM".

### Now, let's find out the states where these dresses are traditionally worn:

1. PUAN: This dress is traditionally worn in Mizoram.
2. VATCHI: Commonly worn in Kashmir.
3. RIKUTU: Worn in Nagaland.
4. SARONG: Worn in regions like Assam.
5. JAINSEM: Indigenous to Meghalaya.

### Additional Research:
Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, is located in Nepal and spans the border of Tibet (China).

I hope this decoding exercise was both fun and educational. Feel free to ask any questions if you have them!
