How many cats ?

1

2







So 28 legs mean _______ cats.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans : Here,

Number of legs of 1 cat $ = 1 \times 4 = 4$

Number of legs of 2 cats $ = 2 \times 4 = 8$

Number of legs of 3 cats $ = 3 \times 4 = 12$

After reading the above data , we can easily fill the given table :

How many legs ?

4

8

Q7Written answer

Leela has not gone to school for 21 days. For how many weeks was she away from school?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Number of days Leela did not go to school $ = 21$days.

A week has 7 days so the number of weeks Leela did not go to school $ = 21 \div 7 = 3$

$\;\;3\\7)\overline{21}\\\;-21\\ \;\; \overline{0}$

How Many Days?

7

Here, 21 days means 3 weeks.

Thus, Leela did not go to school for 3 weeks.


Q8Written answer

A frog jumps 3 steps at a time starting from 0.

  • Count the jumps he takes to reach 27. So, he has taken$27 \div 3 = $______ jumps.


Frogs jumping


He has taken _________ jumps, if he is at 36.

  • If he is at 42, he has taken _________ jumps. Starting from 0, a rabbit jumps 5 steps at a time.

  • In how many jumps does he reach 25? ____________

  • He reaches ____________ after taking 8 jumps. • He needs ____________ jumps to reach 55.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Here,

  • Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 3 steps $ = 1$

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 27 steps = $27 \div 3 = 9$

So, he has taken $27 \div 3 = 9$ jumps. 

  • Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 3 steps $ = 1$

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 36 steps $ = 36 \div 12 = 3$

He has taken 12 jumps, if he is at 36. 

  • Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 3 steps $ = 1$

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 42 steps $ = 42 \div 3 = 14$

If he is at 42, he has taken 14 jumps. 

  • Number of jumps taken by the rabbit to cover 5 steps $ = 1$

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 25 steps $ = 25 \div 5 = 5$

Thus, the rabbit will reach 25 in 5 jumps. 

  • Number of steps covered in 1 jump = 5 

Number of steps covered in 8 jumps $ = 5 \times 8 = 40$

He reaches 40 after taking 8 jumps. 

  • Number of jumps taken by the rabbit to cover 5 steps $ = 1$

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 55 steps $ = 55 \div 5 = 11$

He needs 11 jumps to reach 55.

Q10Written answer

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? __________ Then he took shells for the third necklace. 

  • So he was left with ___________ shells. 

  • How many necklaces can Dhruv make from 112 shells? _________ 

  • Are the shells enough for making necklaces for all his friends? ___________.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: After making the first necklace, Dhruv was left with 84 shells. 

Number of shells used for the second necklace $ = 28$

Number of shells left with Dhruv$ = 84 - 28 = 56$

Working: $ = 84 - 28 = 56$Thus, Dhruv was left with 56 shells after making the second necklace. 

Dhruv took 28 more shells for making the third necklace.Number of shells left with 

Dhruv after making third necklace $ = 56 - 28 = 28$

Dhruv made a necklace of 28 shells for each of his three friends. 

After making the necklaces for his friends, he was left with 28 shells. 

So, he could make one more necklace with the remaining shells. Thus, Dhruv could 

make a total of 4 necklaces with 112 shells. 

Yes, the number of shells were enough for making necklaces for all the friends. After 

making 3 necklaces for his friends, 28 shells were still left with Dhruv.
