Questions and Solutions

Page No 90: Question 1

Now you find how many necklaces and loose beads the other children take. Fill in the table:

Beads Necklace Loose

of 10 beads beads

Razia120
Reema173
Aarif245
Sonu350
Simar316
Solution:

This question asks us to complete a table showing the number of necklaces (each with 10 beads) and loose beads for different children. We need to determine the number of loose beads based on the total beads given.

Let's analyze each child:

  • Razia: Has 12 necklaces (12 x 10 = 120 beads) and 0 loose beads. Total beads = 120. The table shows 12 necklaces and 0 loose beads, which is consistent.
  • Reema: Has 17 beads in total. This means she has 1 necklace (10 beads) and 7 loose beads. The table shows 17 necklaces and 3 loose beads, which seems incorrect based on the total of 17. Assuming the '17' in the 'Necklace of 10 beads' column means 17 groups of 10, this would be 170 beads. However, the context implies '17' is the total beads. If Reema has 17 beads, she has 1 necklace (10 beads) and 7 loose beads. The provided answer seems to indicate 3 loose beads, which would mean 13 total beads (10+3). Let's follow the provided answer's structure: Reema has 17 beads, which can be seen as 1 necklace (10 beads) and 7 loose beads. The table entry '17 3 6' is confusing. If we interpret '17' as total beads, then it's 1 necklace and 7 loose beads. If we interpret '17' as number of necklaces, it's 170 beads. The answer shows '3 6' for Reema, which is unclear. Let's assume the table is meant to be filled with the number of necklaces and loose beads. For 17 beads, it should be 1 necklace and 7 loose beads. The provided answer '17 3 6 3 6 5 6 6' is very unclear. Let's re-interpret the question based on the answer format. The answer seems to be filling in values for other children. Let's assume the table is meant to be filled with the number of necklaces and loose beads. For Reema (17 beads), it should be 1 necklace and 7 loose beads. The answer shows '3 6' for Reema, which is likely a misinterpretation or error in the source. Let's proceed with the assumption that the table needs to be filled correctly.
  • Aarif: Has 24 beads. This means 2 necklaces (2 x 10 = 20 beads) and 4 loose beads. The table shows 24 necklaces and 5 loose beads. This is also inconsistent. If Aarif has 24 beads, it should be 2 necklaces and 4 loose beads. The answer shows '5 5 6 6' for Aarif. This is highly confusing. Let's assume the numbers in the first column are total beads.
  • Sonu: Has 35 beads. This means 3 necklaces (3 x 10 = 30 beads) and 5 loose beads. The table shows 35 necklaces and 0 loose beads. This is inconsistent. If Sonu has 35 beads, it should be 3 necklaces and 5 loose beads. The answer shows '00000' for Sonu.
  • Simar: Has 31 beads. This means 3 necklaces (3 x 10 = 30 beads) and 1 loose bead. The table shows 31 necklaces and 6 loose beads. This is inconsistent. If Simar has 31 beads, it should be 3 necklaces and 1 loose bead. The answer shows '.'.

Given the inconsistencies and unclear formatting in the source, it's impossible to provide a definitive rewritten solution that perfectly matches the intended answer. However, the principle is to separate total beads into groups of 10 (necklaces) and remaining loose beads.

Corrected Interpretation based on typical problems:

If the first column is the total number of beads, then:

  • Razia (12 beads): 1 necklace, 2 loose beads.
  • Reema (17 beads): 1 necklace, 7 loose beads.
  • Aarif (24 beads): 2 necklaces, 4 loose beads.
  • Sonu (35 beads): 3 necklaces, 5 loose beads.
  • Simar (31 beads): 3 necklaces, 1 loose bead.

The provided answer seems to be filling in values for other children or is based on a different interpretation of the table.

Page No 92: Question 1

Practice Time: How many beads are taken by Razia and Sonu?

Razia has 29 beads.

Sonu has 35 beads.

Solution:

To find the total number of beads taken by Razia and Sonu, we need to add the number of beads each of them has.

Razia has 29 beads.

Sonu has 35 beads.

We will add these two numbers:

We can add the ones place first: 9 + 5 = 14. Write down 4 and carry over 1 to the tens place.

Now, add the tens place: 2 + 3 + 1 (carry-over) = 6.

So, the total number of beads is 64.

Calculation:

29 + 35 = 64

Answer: 47 beads are taken by Razia and Sonu. (Note: The source answer states 47, but the calculation 29+35 is 64. Assuming the question intended different numbers or there's an error in the source answer, we proceed with the correct calculation for 29+35).

Corrected Answer based on calculation: 64 beads are taken by Razia and Sonu.

Page No 95: Question 1 (A)

How many beads do they have together? (A) Add by writing and also without writing.

Reema has 17 beads.

Sonu has 35 beads.

How many beads do they have together?

0 Reema 17

Sonu + 35

Solution:

To find the total number of beads Reema and Sonu have together, we need to add the number of beads each of them possesses. This is an addition problem involving two-digit numbers.

Reema has 17 beads.

Sonu has 35 beads.

We will add these numbers using the column method, aligning the ones and tens places correctly.

Step 1: Add the digits in the ones place: 7 + 5 = 12. Write down the 2 in the ones place of the answer and carry over the 1 to the tens place.

Step 2: Add the digits in the tens place, including the carry-over: 1 + 3 + 1 (carry-over) = 5. Write down the 5 in the tens place of the answer.

So, the total number of beads is 52.

Calculation: 17 + 35

---- 52 Answer: Reema and Sonu have 52 beads together.

Page No 95: Question 1 (B)

Add by writing and also without writing.

Aarif has 24 beads.

Razia has 12 beads.

How many beads do they have together?

Aarif 24

Razia + 12

Solution:

To find the total number of beads Aarif and Razia have together, we need to add the number of beads each of them has. This is a straightforward addition of two-digit numbers.

Aarif has 24 beads.

Razia has 12 beads.

We will add these numbers using the column method, ensuring that the ones and tens digits are aligned properly.

Step 1: Add the digits in the ones place: 4 + 2 = 6. Write down 6 in the ones place of the answer.

Step 2: Add the digits in the tens place: 2 + 1 = 3. Write down 3 in the tens place of the answer.

So, the total number of beads is 36.

Calculation: 24 + 12

---- 36 Answer: Aarif and Razia have 36 beads together.
