Solutions
(1) b. 1600 Km

Step 1
The distance covered by the car when its fuel tank is completely filled = 1824 km
Step 2
The capacity of the tank is 57 liters. This means, the distance covered by the car when the fuel tank
has 57 liters of fuel = 1824 km
Step 3
1824
This means, the distance traveled by the car on 1 liter of fuel = km = 32 km
57

Step 4
The distance covered by the car on 50 liters will be 50 times 32 km.
Step 5
Therefore, the distance covered by the car when there is 50 liters of fuel in the tank is 50 × 32 km =
1600 km

(2) c. ₹156.40

Step 1
The cost of 9 mango's is given to be ₹82.80.
To find the cost of one mango, we will divide ₹82.80 by 9.
Step 2
82.80
We have ₹ = ₹9.2, which is the price of one mango. Now, to find the price of 17
9

mango's, we will multiply the cost of one mango with 17.

Step 3
We have, ₹9.2 × 17 = ₹156.40, which is the price of 17 mango.

(3) d.

Step 1
We know that if the total cost of a number of items of the same kind is given, we can
determine the cost of one item by dividing the total cost by the given number of items.
Step 2
Therefore,
Cost of 5 books = ₹ 1545
1545
Cost of 1 book = ₹ = ₹309
5

(4) c. 80 Kgs

Step 1
According to the question, 10 kg millet is required for 330 people. So, the amount of millet
10
required for one person = kg
300

Step 2
10
Therefore, the amount of millet required for 2640 people = 2640 × kg
300

Step 3
From the calculation in step 2, we get 80 kg as the product. Hence, 80 kg millet will be
required for 2640 people.

(5) c. 12
Step 1
Given, cost of 14 mangoes = ₹61.60
61.60
So, cost of one mango = = ₹4.4
14

Step 2
Thus, the number of mangoes Jason can buy for ₹4.4 = 1
1
So, the number of mangoes Jason can buy for ₹1 =4.4
1
Hence, the number of mangoes Jason can buy for ₹52.80 =4.4× 52.80 = 12

Step 3 We see that Jason can buy 12 mangoes for ₹52.80.

(6) a. 7470 km

Step 1
Let us find the distance covered by the plane in 1 hour. In order to do that, we will divide the
distance covered in 6 hours by 6.
Step 2
4980 ÷ 6 = 830. So, the plane travels 830 km in one hour.
Step 3
To find the distance travelled by the plane in 9 hours, we will multiply the distance travelled in
one hour by 9.
830 × 9 = 7470.
Step 4
Hence, the plane travels 7470 km in 9 hours.

(7) d. ₹10650
Step 1
According to the question, 23 kg of wheat costs ₹3450. To find the cost of 1 kg of wheat, we
will divide ₹3450 by 23.
Step 2
So, 3450 ÷ 23 = 150, which means 1 kg of wheat costs ₹150.
Step 3
Now the cost of 71 kg of wheat will be equal to the product of the cost of 1 kg of wheat and
71.
Step 4
We have 71 × 150 = 10650. Hence, the cost of 71 kg of wheat is ₹10650.

(8) 6600

Step 1
The yearly rent of a house is ₹39600, which means that the given amount is paid for 12
months. So, to find the rent for one month ,we will divide 39600 by 12.
Step 2
39600
We get: = ₹3300
12

So, the rent paid for one month = ₹3300

Now, in order to find the rent for 2 months we need to multiply 3300 with 2.
Step 3
We get:
3300 × 2 = ₹6600
Hence, Edward will get ₹6600 for 2 months.

(9) 54

Step 1
According to the question, 19 telephone poles can be painted using 171 cans of paint. So, in
order to find the number of telephone poles that can be painted using one can of paint, we
must divide 171 by 19.
Step 2
171
From the above calculation, we find that =9
19

Thus, 9 telephone poles can be painted using one can.

Step 3
Hence, the number of telephone poles that can be painted using 6 cans = 6 × 9 = 54
telephone poles.

(10) 644 km

Step 1
The distance covered by the car when its fuel tank is completely filled = 2162 km
Step 2
The capacity of the tank is 47 liters. This means, the distance covered by the car when the
fuel tank has 47 liters of fuel = 2162 km
Step 3
2162
This means, the distance traveled by the car on 1 liter of fuel = km = 46 km
47

Step 4
The distance covered by the car on 14 liters will be 14 times 46 km.
Step 5
Therefore, the distance covered by the car when there is 14 liters of fuel in the tank is 14 × 46
km = 644 km
