5. The weight of a luggage bag is 55 kg. Then find the weight of 1000 such luggage bags.
Solution:
Given that, a luggage bag’s weight = 55 kg.
Hence, the weight of 1000 such luggage bags = 1000 × 55
= 55000
Therefore, the weight of 1000 such luggage bags is Rs. 55000.
6. Find the quotient and remainder if 4050 is divided by 3.
Solution:
Given: 4050 ÷ 3.
If 4050 is divided by 3, we get the quotient as 1350, the remainder as 0.
Hence, Quotient = 1350
Remainder = 0.
7. Find the missing number: ____ ÷ 10 = 13.
Solution:
Let the missing number be x.
So, x ÷ 10 = 13
x = 13 × 10
x = 130
Therefore, the value of x is 130.
Verification:
130/10 = 13.
8. Determine the cost of each cycle, if the cost of 15 cycles is worth Rs. 24,405.
Solution:
Given: The cost of 15 cycles = Rs. 24405.
Therefore, the cost of each cycle = 24405/15
= 1627
Hence, the cost of each cycle is Rs. 1627.
9. The result obtained through the multiplication of two numbers is 4131. If one number is 27,
then find the other number.
Solution:
Given that the product of 2 numbers = 4131.
Given that, one number = 27.
Let the unknown number be “a”.
According to the given condition, we can write
27 × a = 4131
Hence, a = 4131/27 = 153
Therefore, the other number is 153.
Verification:
153 × 27 = 4131.
10. The yearly income of Leena is Rs. 98,364. Determine her monthly income if she receives
an equal amount every month.
Solution:
Given that, the annual income of Leena = Rs. 98364.
If she earns an equal amount every month, then her monthly income = 98364/12
= 8197
Therefore, the monthly income of Leena is Rs. 8197.
11. A factory produces 245 chocolate bars in one hour. If it operates 18 hours a day for 7 days,
how many chocolate bars are produced in a week?
Solution:
1. Find chocolate bars produced in one day:
245 bars/hour × 18 hours/day.
Compute 245 × 18 stepwise:
o 245 × 10 = 2,450
o 245 × 8 = (245 × 4) × 2 = 980 × 2 = 1,960
o Add: 2,450 + 1,960 = 4,410
So the factory makes 4,410 bars per day.
2. Find for 7 days (one week):
4,410 × 7:
o 4,410 × 7 = (4,000×7) + (400×7) + (10×7) = 28,000 + 2,800 + 70 = 30,870
Answer: 30,870 chocolate bars in a week.
12. Each box contains 36 pencils, and each carton holds 24 boxes. If a school orders 15 cartons,
how many pencils will they receive in total?
Solution:
Pencils per carton = pencils per box × boxes per carton:
36 × 24. Compute stepwise:
o 36 × 20 = 720
o 36 × 4 = 144
o Add: 720 + 144 = 864
So 864 pencils per carton.
2. For 15 cartons: 864 × 15:
o 864 × 10 = 8,640
o 864 × 5 = half of ×10 = 4,320
o Add: 8,640 + 4,320 = 12,960
Answer: 12,960 pencils total.
13. A company distributed 48,600 flyers equally among 135 workers. How many flyers did each
worker distribute?
Solution:
We compute 48,600 ÷ 135.
1. Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by 5 to make numbers smaller:
o 48,600 ÷ 5 = 9,720
o 135 ÷ 5 = 27
So the problem becomes 9,720 ÷ 27.
2. Divide 9,720 by 27:
o 27 × 300 = 8,100 (remainder 1,620)
o 27 × 60 = 1,620 (remainder 0)
o 300 + 60 = 360
So, 9,720 ÷ 27 = 360.
Answer: Each worker distributed 360 flyers.
