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!
