Rubina’s Garden

What are the ways in which sunflower and marigolds are planted?

18 = …….. X ……… So, there is ……… row with …….. plants.

18 = …….. X ……… So, there are ……… row with …….. plants each.

Ans. The sunflowers are planted in this way. 

18 = 18 × 1 So, there is one row with 18 plants.

The marigolds are planted in this way.

18 = 9 × 2 So, there are two rows with 9 plants each.

You too can make your own garden. Draw a garden, showing flower beds with 48 plants. Each row should have the same number of plants.

Ans. (Draw a garden yourself)

The garden showing flower beds with 48 plants can have different arrangements :

48 = 12 × 4 So, there are 4 rows with 12 plants each.

48 = 8 × 6 So, there are 8 rows with 6 plants each.

48 = 6 x 8 So, there are 6 rows with 8 plants each.

48 = 3 × 16 So, there are 3 rows with 16 plants each.

48 = 24 × 2 So, there are 2 rows with 24 plants each.

Sea Shells

Anil lives near the sea. He thought of making necklaces for his three friends. He looked for sea shells the whole day. He collected 112 sea shells by evening. 

Page No. 152 Solutions

He took 28 shells for one necklace, 112 – 28 = 84

Now he was left with 84 shells. Again, he took 28 more shells for the second necklace.

How many shells are left now? 

Ans. 84 – 28 56 shells are left now.

How many necklaces can Anil make from 112 shells?

Ans. Anil can make four necklaces from 112 shells. (112 ÷ 28 = 4)

Are the shells enough for making necklaces for all his friends? 

Ans. Yes, the shells are enough for making necklaces for all his friends.

Try these

(A) Mannu made a necklace of 17 sea shells. How many such necklaces can be made using 100 sea shells?

Sol. Let us do this sum by using repeated subtraction:

After making the first necklace, the number of shells left = 100 – 17 = 83

After making the second necklace, the number of shells left = 83 – 17 = 66

After making the third necklace, the number of shells left = 66 – 17 = 49

After making the fourth necklace, the number of shells left = 49 – 17 = 32

After making the fifth necklace, the number of shells left = 32 – 17 = 15

In this way, Mannu can make 5 necklaces of 17 sea shells by using 100 sea shells. He will be left with 15 sea shells now.

(B) One carton can hold 85 soap bars. Razia wants to pack 338 soap bars. How many cartons does she need for packing all of them?

Sol: Let us do (using repeated subtraction)

338 – 85 = 253

253 – 85 = 168

168 – 85 = 83

In this way, we can subtract 85 from 338, 3 times and the remaining soap bars are 83.

So Razia needs 3 + 1 = 4 cartons to pack 338 soap bars.

(C) Sandeep wants 1500 sacks of cement for making a house. A minivan carries 250 sacks at a time. How many trips will the minivan make?

A driver charges 500 for a trip. How much will Sandeep pay to the driver for all the trips?

Sol. Let us do (using repeated subtraction) we have

(1) 1500 – 250 = 1250

(2) 1250 – 250 = 1000

(3) 1000 – 250 = 750

(4) 750 – 250 = 500

(5) 500 – 250 = 250

(6) 250 – 250 = 0

Thus, 250 can be subtracted from 1500, 6 times.

So, the minivan will make 6 trips to carry 1500, sacks of cement.

Driver’s charges for 1 trip = ₹ 500 Driver’s charges for 6 trips

= ₹ 500 × 6

= ₹ 3000

So, Sandeep will pay ₹ 3000 to the driver for all the trips.

Shakti Sweets

Shakti is making sweets for Id. He has made a tray of 80 laddoos. 

Please pack 4 laddoos in a box. I need 23 small boxes.

Are the sweets in the tray enough to pack 23 small boxes?

Sol. Total number of sweets = 80 

Number of small boxes = 23 

Number of laddoos in one box = 4 

So the number of laddoos are needed = 23 × 4 = 92 

No, the sweets in the tray are not enough.

How many more sweets are needed?

Sol. Number of sweets in a tray = 80 

Number of sweets in 23 boxes = 92 

So, number of sweets needed = 92-80 = 12 Ans.

Shakti also has a bigger box in which he packs 12 laddoos. How many boxes does he need for packing 60 laddoos?

Sol. 12 laddoos can be packed in = 1 box

60 laddoos can be packed in = 60 ÷ 12 = 5 boxes.

Practice Time

(1) Rabiya brought 15 storybooks to her class. Today 45 students are present. How many children will need to share one storybook?

Sol. Number of students = 45 

Number of storybooks = 15 

Number of Children sharing one storybook = 45÷15 = 3 Ans.

(2) A family of 8 people needs 60 kg of wheat for a month. How much wheat does this family need for a week?

Sol. A family of 8 people needs wheat for a month

(one month = 4 weeks) = 60 kg 

Therefore, for one week, they need wheat = 60 kg ÷ 4 = 15 kg.

(3) Asma wants a change for ₹ 500. How many notes will she get if she wants in return-

(A) All 100-rupee notes? 

(B) All 50-rupee notes? 

(C) All 20-rupee notes? 

(D) All 5-rupee notes?

Ans. (A) Number of 100-rupee notes = 500 ÷ 100 = 5

(B) Number of 50-rupee notes = 500 ÷ 50 = 10

(C) Number of 20-rupee notes = 500 ÷ 20 = 25

(D) Number of 5-rupee notes = 500 ÷ 5 = 100

You have to distribute 72 tomatoes equally in 3 baskets. How many tomatoes will there be in each?

Sol. Number of tomatoes = 72

Number of baskets = 3

Number of tomatoes in each basket = Number of tomatoes/Number of baskets = 72/3 = (72 ÷ 3) = 24 Ans.

There are 350 bricks in a hand- cart. Sanju found the weight of a brick to be 2 kg. What will be the weight of all bricks?

Sol. Total number of bricks = 350 Weight of one brick = 2 kg

Total weight of 350 bricks = (350 × 2) kg = 700 kg Ans.

Another Method

Sanjay and Ravi are trying 70 ÷ 5 in a different way. Ravi writes—

First, I give 5 to each.

I have distributed 5 × 5 = 25

Next, I give 6 more to everyone. I have distributed ₹ 30 more.

Now I am left with ……….. rupees.

Now I am left with 15.

How will Ravi distribute the rest of the money? Complete it?

Ravi distributed 3 more and now nothing is left.

So, each child gets 5 + 6 + 3 = ₹ 14. 

Check your answer

Multiply your answer by 5 and see if you get 70. Is your answer correct? Yes, the answer is right. (14 × 5 = 70).

Your Method

Now use your own method to divide ₹ 70 equally among 5 people. If you want you can start by giving ₹ 2 to each. Or you can even start with ₹ 11 to each.

Sol. Let us start with ₹ 2 to each First, I give ₹ 2 to each.

So, I have distributed ₹ 5 × 2 = ₹ 10 

Next, I give ₹ 10 more to everyone. Then I have distributed ₹ 5 x 10 = ₹ 50.

Next, again I give ₹ 2 to each.

I have distributed ₹ 2 × 5 = ₹ 10

Now nothing is left. And all the money is divided equally each gets 2 + 10 + 2 = ₹ 14

Can you start with ₹ 15 to each? 

Ans. No, we cannot start it with 15 to each. Because ₹ 15 x 5 = ₹ 75, which is more than ₹ 70.
