Now he was left with 84 shells. Again, he took 28 more shells for the second necklace. How many shells are left now?
Subtract 28 from 84 to get the number of shells left.
84 – 28 = 56
Therefore, after he took shells for the third necklace, he was left with 56 shells.
Then he took shells for the third necklace. So he was left with ________ shells.
Subtract 28 from 56 to get the number of shells left.
56 – 28 = 28
Therefore, after he took shells for the third necklace, he was left with 28 shells.
How many necklaces can Dhruv make from 112 shells?
The total number of shells Dhruv had is 112. After removing shells for three necklaces, he was left with 28 shells. With 28 shells he can make one more necklace.
Hence, he can make 4 necklaces from 112 shells.
Are the shells enough for making necklaces for all his friends?
After removing the shells for three of his friends he was still left with 28 shells. Hence, the shells were enough for making necklaces for all his friends.
Try these:
A) Kannu made a necklace of 17 sea-shells. How many such necklaces can be made using 100 sea-shells?
Step 1: The total number of shells is 100. Shells required to make one necklace is 17.
Subtract 17 from 100 to get the number of shells left after removing the shell for 1 necklace.
100 – 17 = 83
Step 2: Subtract 17 from 83 to get the number of shells left after removing the shell for the 2 necklaces.
83 – 17 = 66
Step 3: Subtract 17 from 66 to get the number of shells left after removing the shell for the 3 necklaces.
66 – 17 = 49
Step 4: Subtract 17 from 49 to get the number of shells left after removing the shell for the 4 necklaces.
49 – 17 = 32
Step 5: Subtract 17 from 32 to get the number of shells left after removing the shell for the 5 necklaces.
32 – 17 = 15.
Thus, after removing shells for five necklaces he was left with 15 shells which is less than 17.
Hence, he can make 5 necklaces with 100 shells.
B) One carton can hold 85 soap bars. Shally wants to pack 338 soap bars. How many cartons does she need for packing all of them?
Step 1: The total number of soap bars to be packed is 338. Number of soap bars in one carton is 85.
Subtract 85 from 338 to get the number of soap bars left after packing 1 carton.
338 – 85 = 253
Step 2: Subtract 85 from 253 to get the number of soap bars left after packing 2 cartons.
253 – 85 = 168
Step 3: Subtract 85 from 168 to get the number of soap bars left after packing 3 cartons.
168 – 85 = 83
After packing three cartons she will be left with 83 soap bars. Therefore, the total number of cartons required to pack 338 soap bars is 4.
C) Manpreet wants 1500 sacks of cement for making a house. A truck carries 250 sacks at a time. How many trips will the truck make?
Step 1: Total number of cement sacks required to make a house is 1500.
Number of sacks a truck can carry at a time is 250.
Subtract 250 from 1500 to get the number of sacks left after 1 trip.
1500 – 250 = 1250
Step 2: Subtract 250 from 1250 to get the number of sacks left after 2 trips.
1250 – 250 = 1000
Step 3: Subtract 250 from 1000 to get the number of sacks left after 3 trips.
1000 – 250 = 750
Step 4: Subtract 250 from 750 to get the number of sacks left after 4 trips.
750 – 250 = 500
Step 5: Subtract 250 from 500 to get the number of sacks left after 5 trips.
500 – 250 = 250
Step 6: Subtract 250 from 250 to get the number of sacks left after 6 trips.
250 – 250 = 0
Therefore, the truck will make 6 trips to carry all the sacks.
A driver charges Rs 500 for a trip. How much will Manpreet pay the driver for all the trips?
The charge for 1 trip is Rs 500.
Total number of trips required is 6.
Multiply 500 by 6 to get the total money that Manpreet has to pay.
500 × 6 = 3000
Thus, he has to pay Rs 3000 for all the trips.
Are the sweets in the tray enough to pack 23 small boxes?
The total number of sweets in the tray was 80. Number of sweets in a small box is 4.
Total number of boxes required is 23.
Multiply 23 by 4 to get the number of sweets required to be packed in 23 boxes.
23 × 4 = 92
The number of sweets required is 92 which is more than 80. Therefore, sweets in the tray are not enough to pack 23 small boxes.
Do the division by yourself. The method of solving may vary. One example is:
Therefore, the correct answer is 10 + 10 + 3 = 23.
How many more sweets are needed?
Number of sweets required is 92. Total number of sweets in the tray is 80.
Subtract 80 from 92 to get the number of sweets required.
92 – 80 = 12
Therefore, 12 more sweets are required.
1) Neelu brought 15 storybooks to her class. Today 45 students are present. How many children will need to share one book?
Total number of students present in the class is 45.
Total number of storybooks is 15.

45 ÷ 15 = 3
Therefore, 3 children need to share one storybook.
2) A family of 8 people need 60 kg wheat for a month. How much wheat does this family need for a week?
Step 1: There are 30 days in a month. For 30 days the family requires 60 kg wheat. Divide 60 by 30 to get the weight of wheat that the family requires for 1 day.
60 ÷ 30 = 2
Step 2: There are 7 days in a week. Multiply 7 by 2 to get the weight of the wheat that the family requires for a week.
7 × 2 = 14
Therefore, the family needs 14 kg wheat for a week.
3) Razia wants change for Rs 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?
a) Divide 500 by 50 to get the number of 100-rupee notes.
500 ÷ 100 = 5
b) Divide 500 by 50 to get the number of 50-rupee notes.
500 ÷ 50 = 10
c) Divide 500 by 20 to get the number of 20-rupee notes.
500 ÷ 20 = 25
d) Divide 500 by 5 to get the number of 5-rupee notes.
500 ÷ 5 = 100
4) You have to distribute 72 tomatoes equally in 3 baskets. How many tomatoes will be there in each?
Total number of tomatoes is 72.
Number of baskets is 3.
Divide 72 by 3 to get the number of tomatoes in each basket.
72 ÷ 3 = 24
Therefore, there will be 24 tomatoes in each basket.
5) There are 350 bricks in a hand-cart. Binod found the weight of a brick to be 2 kg. What will be the weight of all the bricks?
Weight of 1 brick is equal to 2 kg.
Total number of bricks is 350.
Multiply 350 by 2 to get the weight of all the bricks.
350 × 2 = 750
Therefore, the weight of all the bricks is 750 kg.
How will Lokesh distribute the rest of the money? Complete it. So, each child gets 5 + 6 + ________ = ________ rupees.
The complete division is:
So, each child gets 5 + 6 + 3 = 14 rupees.
Check your answer! Multiply your answer by 5 and see if you get 70. Is your answer correct?
Multiply 14 by 5 to check if it is equal to 70.
14 × 5 = 70
Therefore, 14 is the correct answer.
Now use your own method to divide Rs 70 equally among 5 people. If you want you can start by giving Rs 2 to each. Or you can even start with Rs 11 to each.
You can start the division by giving Rs 2 or Rs 11 to each. One example is:
Therefore, each of them will get Rs 14.
Can you start with Rs 15 to each?
Each child will get Rs 14 which is less than Rs 15. Therefore, you cannot start the division with Rs 15 to each.
i) Meera made 204 candles to sell in the market. She makes packets of 6. How many packets will she make?
Total number of candles is 204.
Number of candles in one packet is 6.
Divide 204 by 6 to get the number of packets that she has to make.
Therefore, she will make 30 + 4 = 34 packets.
If she packs them in the packets of 12, then how many packets will she make?
Total number of candles is 204.
Number of candles in one packet is 12.
Divide 204 by 12 to get the number of packets that she has to make.
Therefore, she will make 10 + 5 + 2 = 17 packets.
j) On Sports Day, 161 children are in a school playground. They are standing in 7 equal rows. How many children are there in each row?
Total number of children is 161.
Number of rows is 7.
Divide 161 by 7 to get the number of children in each row.
Therefore, there are 10 + 10 + 3 = 23 children in each row.
Now you look at the other pictures and make questions like Srishti.
There are 8 packets of rakhis. Each packet has 6 rakhis in it.
The question is “How many rakhis are there in all?”. Total packets of rakhis are 8.
Number of rakhis in each packet is 6. Therefore, total rakhis is equal

Total cost of sugar is Rs 110. Therefore, the cost of 1 packet of sugar is Rs 110 ÷ 10 = 11.
3.There are 35 students in 7 rows. Each row has the same number of students.
The question is “How many students are there in each row?”
Total number of students is 35.
Number of rows is 7. Therefore, in each row there are 35 ÷ 7 = 5 students.
4. Hari, Seema, Chinku and Lakshmi are going to Guwahati. The cost of one rail ticket is Rs 62.
The question is “What is the total cost of rail tickets?”.
