Chapter 11: Tables and Shares

Ans: Number of candles made by Meera$ = 204$

Number of candles in each packet =$ = 6$

Total number of packets of candles $ = 204 \div 6 = 34$

$\;\;34\\6)\overline{204}\\\;-18\\ \;\;\;\; \overline{24}\\\;-24\\  \;\;\;\;\;\;\overline{0}$

Thus, 34 packets are required for 204 candles. 

If Meera packs 12 candles in each packet then number of packets required for 204 candles 

$ = 204 \div 12 = 17$

$\;\;17\\12)\overline{204}\\\;-12\\ \;\;\;\; \overline{84}\\\;-84\\  \;\;\;\;\;\;\overline{0}$

Thus, Meera will be needing 17 packets to pack 204 candles with each packet containing 12 candles.

Ans: Students present in the playground$ = 161$

Number of rows$ = 7$

If the number of students are equal in each row then the number of students in each row 

$ = 161 \div 7 = 23$

$\;\;23\\7)\overline{161}\\\;-14\\ \;\;\;\; \overline{21}\\\;-21\\  \;\;\;\;\;\;\overline{0}$

Thus, In each row there are 23 students.

Ans: Number of Rakhis in each packet $ = 6$

Total number of packets$ = 8 \times 6 = 46$

Thus, there are a total of 46 rakhis in 8 packets. 

My question: How many rakhis are there in total?

Ans: Cost of 10 packets of sugar = Rs 110 $ = Rs110$

Cost of one packet of sugar $ = Rs110 \div 10 = Rs11$

Thus,the cost of each packet of sugar is Rs 11. 

What is the cost of 1 packet of sugar?

Ans: Total number of students $ = 35$

Total number of row $ = 7$

If the number of students are equal in all the rows then each row has 

$ = 35 \div 7 = 7$students. 

Thus, there are 7 students in each row. 

How many students are there in each row?

Ans: Cost of one ticket $ = Rs62$

Number of people $ = 4$

Total cost of the ticket $ = Rs62 \times 4 = Rs248$

What is the total cost of the rail tickets?

Ans: Total amount paid by Lalbiak$ = Rs140$

Cost of 1 metre of cloth $ = Rs20$

Total number of metres of cloth bought $ = Rs140 \div 20 = Rs7$

Thus, Lalbaik bought 7 metres of clothes for Rs 140. 

How many metres of cloth did Lalbiak buy?
