Practice Time
(A) Chocolate bar
Ulfat had a chocolate. She gave one-fourth of it to Nighat, one-third to Sumaira and one-sixth to Ishrat. She ate the remaining part.
How many pieces of chocolate did each get?
Sol. Total number of pieces = 12
The number of pieces she gave to Nighat = ¼ of 12 = 12/4 = 3
The number of pieces she gave to Nighat = ⅓ of 12 = 12/3 = 4
The number of pieces she gave to Nighat = ⅙ of 12 = 12/6 = 2
The number of pieces Ulfat got = 12 – (3 + 4 + 2) = 3.
What part of Chocolate did Ulfat eat?
Ans. Ulfat ate 3 chocolate pieces out of 12.
So, she ate 3/12 = ¼ (one-fourth) of the chocolate.
Page No. 54 Solutions
(B) Colour the hats
Colour ⅓ of the hats red.
Colour three-fifths of the hats blue.
How many hats did you colour red?
Sol. The total number of hats = 15
⅓ of the hats = ⅓ × 15 = 15/3 = 5
So, 5 hats were coloured in red.
How many hats did you colour blue?
Ans. The total number of hats = 15
⅗ of the hats = ⅗ × 15 = 45/5 = 9
So, 9 hats were coloured in blue.
What part of the hats are not coloured?
Sol. Total number of hats = 15
Sum of coloured hats = 5 + 9 = 14
Number of hats left uncoloured = 15 – 14 = 1
Thus = 1/15 of the hats are not coloured.

Greedy Gate Keepers
Remember Birbal, The clever minister of King Akbar? Do you know how he became a minister?
Birbal was then a young boy living in a village. He was very clever and could write poetry.
He thought he would try his luck in the King’s court. So he took some of his poems and set off for the city.
When he reached the outer gate of the palace, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.
“Hey! Stop there! Where are you going?”, shouted the gatekeeper.
“I am a poet. I want to see King Akbar and show my poems to him”, replied the poet.
“Oh, you are a poet! The king is kind, he will surely give you a prize. I will let you in if you give me 1/10 of your prize.”
Young Birbal agreed since he had no other way.
When he went in, the gatekeeper calculated “If he gets 100 gold coins I will get 10 gold coins”.
The poet came to a second gatekeeper. This gatekeeper also said, “I will let you in Our if you give me two-fifths of your prize”. The poet agreed.
The gatekeeper happily calculated, “The poet will get at least 100 gold coins so I will get 40 gold coins!”
The poet reached the last gate. The gatekeeper said, “I will allow you to see the king only If you give me half of the prize that you get”. The poet had no other way. He agreed and went inside.
The gatekeeper thought, “Today is a great day. If he gets 100 gold coins.
I will get 50 gold coins. But if he gets 1000 coins – wow! I will get 500.”
The king was very happy with the poems and said, “Your work is very good. You can ask anything as your prize”.
“My Lord, I want 100 slaps”. “What! 100 slaps?
“The king was shocked.
What happened after that? Complete the story. What part of the prize did the poet get?
Ans. The first gatekeeper got 10 slaps, the second gatekeeper got 40 slaps and the last gatekeeper got 50 slaps. The poet got zero slaps.

An Old Woman’s Will
Once there lived an old woman. She lived with her three daughters. She was quite rich and had 19 camels. One day she fell ill. The daughters called the doctor. The doctor tried his best but could not save the woman. After her death, the daughters read what she had written in her will.
The daughters were really puzzled. “How can I get ½ of the 19 camels? asked the eldest daughter.
“Half of 19 is nine and a half. But we can’t cut the camel!” The second daughter said.
“That is right, but what will we do now?” asked the third daughter.
Just then they saw their aunt coming, and the daughters told her their problem.
“Show me the will. I have an idea. You take my camel. So, you have 20 camels. Now can you divide them as your mother wanted?” the aunt said.
“You want half of the camels, don’t you? Take 10 camels,” she said to the eldest daughter.
“Take your share”, the aunt told the second daughter. She took one-fourth of the camels and got 5 camels.
⅕ × 20 = 5
“You can take one-fifth of the camels,” the aunt told the third daughter. She got 4 camels. The daughters were very happy and counted their camels 10+ 4+ 5 = 19. Page No. 68 Solutions
“The one remaining is mine.” said the aunt and took her camel away!
How did this happen? Discuss.
Sol. The eldest daughter got ½ of the total camels.
The second daughter got ¼ of the total camels.
The third daughter got ⅕ of the total camels.
So, each got = ½ + ¼ + ⅕
= 10 + 5 + 4/20 = 19/20
LCM = 2 × 2 × 5 = 4 x 5 = 20
Eldest daughter’s share = 10 camels
The second daughter’s share = 5 camels
The third daughter’s share = 4 camels.
We know that their mother had 19 camels.
But it is difficult to give ½ part of the total camels to her eldest daughter. So their aunt gave them one camel for division. After division, one camel is left, which belongs to Aunt. Therefore, in the end, she took her camel away.
Asif’s Timetable
Asif sleeps at 10 pm and wakes up at 6 am.
He plays from 7 to 8 am and again from 4 to 6 pm
His Time – Table
Sleeping: One-third of a day.
Playing: One-eighth of a day.
Studying: One-fourth (¼) of a day.
(We know that there are 24 hours in a day)
How many hours does Asif take to sleep?
Ans. Asif sleeps at 10 pm and wakes up at 6 am. So he takes 8 hours to sleep. This is the one-third of the day
How many hours does Asif take for studying?
Sol. Asif studies for ¼ of a day
Total hours in a day = 24 hours
¼ of 24 = ¼ × 24 = 6 hours
He studies 6 hours a day.
How many hours does Asif take to play?
Sol. He plays one-eighth of a day. So, he takes 3 hours to play
⅛ × 24 = 3 hours
* What part of the day does he use for other activities?
Sol. Asif takes 8 hours to sleep, 6 hours for studying and 3 hours for playing.
Total hours which he spends = 8 + 6 + 3 = 17 hours
Number of hours used for other activities = (24 – 17) = 7
Therefore 7/24 part of the day he uses for other activities.
