Question: 1

Do we need 4 buses? One bus can take 50 children, 4 buses can take 50 × 4 …..?

Answer: If one bus can take 50 children, 4 buses can take 50 × 4 = 200 children.

Question: 2

So, there are a total of ________ children going.

= 210

Hence, there are a total of 210 children going on the trip.

Question: 3

If they get 4 buses, how many children will get seats?

Answer: Total number of seats in 4 buses = Number of seats in a bus × 4

Question: 13

How many more deer are there than bison?

Answer: Number of deer = 117

Number of bisons = 37

Number of deer more than bison = Number of deer – Number of bison

= 117 – 37
= 80

So, there are 80 more deer than bison.

Question: 14

How many people must Bonomala have counted?

214 / 154 / 134 / 177

Answer: Total number of animals = 117 deer + 37 bisons

= 154

The number of people given is less than 200. So, the number of people must be greater
than 154 but less than 200.

Hence, Bonomala must have counted 177 people.

Question: 15

Question: 17

Each child is to be given 1 orange, 1 banana and 5 biscuits. All the children take
oranges and biscuits, but 38 children do not take bananas. How many oranges,
biscuits and bananas are distributed?

Answer: The total number of students going on a trip = 210

Each student was given 1 orange, 1 banana and 5 biscuits.

Hence, the total number of oranges distributed to 210 students = 1 × 210 = 210

38 students refused to take bananas. Then, the total number of students who took
bananas = 210 – 38

= 172

Therefore, the total number of bananas distributed to 210 students = 210 × 5

= 1050

Thus, 210 oranges, 172 bananas and 1050 biscuits were distributed among all the
students going on the trip

Manjeet and Bhanu quickly finish their lunch and start asking for puzzles to pass
the time.

Question: 18

Question: 19

I gave four to ees each to four of my friends, and three to ees were left with me.
How many to ees did I have?

Answer: Given, the number of to ees given to 4 friends = 4

The number of to ees left with me = 3

The total number of to ees = The number of to ees I gave to my 4 friends + The number
of to ees left with me

=4×4+3

= 16 + 3

= 19 to ees

Therefore, the total number of to ees I have = 19 to ees

36, 38, 40, 42, 46 and 48.

The numbers between 25 and 50 that are divisible by 3 are 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45 and
48.

The numbers between 25 and 50 that are divisible by 5 are 30, 35, 40 and 45.

Hence, the smallest number between 25 and 50 that can be divisible by 2, 3 and 5 is 30.

Question: 23

A small ant climbs 3 cm in 1 minute but slips down 2 cm. How much time will it take

Question: 24

Indra and Bhanu first went in the motorboat and then took the oar boat.

How much did they pay for both boats? Rs ________

How much time did they get for both rides? __________

Answer: The total money Indra and Bhanu paid for the motor boat = Rs 25 + Rs 25 = 50

Money paid by them for the oar boat = Rs 15 + Rs 15 = Rs 30

The total money Indra and Bhanu paid for the motorboat and the oar boat = Rs 50 + Rs
30 = Rs 80

Time for the motorboat ride = 20 minutes

Time for the oar boat ride = 45 minutes

Total time for both the rides = 20 + 45 = 65 minutes

Question: 25

One group of children went for the double-decker trip. They paid Rs 450 in total.

= 15 children

Question: 26

Which boat makes two trips in 1 hour?

Answer: We know 1 hour = 60 minutes

boat will take 2 trips in 60 minutes, i.e., 1 hour.

Question: 27

Which boat takes less than half an hour to complete a trip?

Answer: We know half an hour = 30 minutes

From the table, the motorboat takes 30 minutes to complete a trip. Hence, the
motorboat takes less than 30 minutes to complete a trip.

Question: 28

Which boat gives them the most time taking the least money?

Answer: From the table, we come to know that the least money, i.e., Rs 15, is charged
by the paddle boat and the oar boat. Here, the oar boat trip gives more time compared
to that given by the paddle boat for the same amount. Therefore, the oar boat gives the
most time taking the least money.

One bus can carry 48 children. How many children can three buses carry? About –

(a) 100
(b) 200

(c) 150

Answer: The number of children in a bus = 48 children

Question: 33

Which pair of numbers add to make more than 500?

(a) 152 and 241

(b) 321 and 192

(c) 99 and 299

(d) 401 and 91

Answer: Let us add the pairs to check the pair that has a sum greater than 500.

152 + 241 = 393

321 + 192 = 513

99 + 299 = 398

401 + 91 = 492

Therefore, 321 + 192 gives 513, which is more than 500. So, option (b) is the correct
answer.
