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.
Question: 12
(a) How many shells are left now?
Answer: Number of shells used for the second necklace = 28
Number of shells left with Dhruv = 84 – 28
= 56
Therefore, Dhruv was left with 56 shells.
(b) Then he took shells for the third necklace.
So he was left with ______ shells.

Question: 13
(a) Kannu made a necklace of 17 sea shells. How many such necklaces can be made using 100 sea shells?
Answer: Total number of shells = 100
Sea shells required to make 1 necklace = 17 sea-shells
Hence, the number of shells left after making 1 necklace = 100 – 17
= 83
Shells left after making 2 necklaces = 83 – 17
= 66
Shells left after making 3 necklaces = 66 – 17
= 49
Shells left after making 4 necklaces = 49 – 17
= 32
Shells left after making 5 necklaces = 32 – 17
= 15
Thus, 15 shells were left after making 5 necklaces.
Therefore, 5 necklaces can be made by using 100 sea shells.
(b) One carton can hold 85 soap bars. Shally wants to pack 338 soap bars. How many cartons does she need to pack all of them?
Answer:
| Total number of soap bar | Number of cartons | Number of soap bars required | Soap bars left |
| 338 | 1 | 85 | 338 – 85 = 253 |
| 253 | 1 (2nd) | 85 | 253 – 85 = 168 |
| 168 | 1 (3rd) | 85 | 168 – 85 = 83 |
| 83 | 1 (4th) | 85 (since only 83 are left) |
Total number of cartons = 4
Therefore, the total number of cartons required to pack all 338 soap bars is 4 cartons.
(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?
A driver charges Rs 500 for a trip. How much will Manpreet pay the driver for all the trips?
Answer: Number of sacks of cement Manpreet need for making a house = 1500
Sacks carried by truck in 1 trip = 250
So, sacks carried by truck in 2 trips = 250 × 2
= 500
Sacks carried by truck in 3 trips = 250 × 3
= 750
Sacks carried by truck in 4 trips = 250 × 4
= 1000
Sacks carried by truck in 5 trips = 250 × 5
= 1250
Sacks carried by truck in 6 trips = 250 × 6
= 1500
Hence, the number of trips made by the truck to carry 1500 sacks = 1500 / 250
= 6 trips
Therefore, a truck needs 6 trips to carry 1500 sacks of cement.

Gangu is making sweets for Id. He has made a tray of 80 laddoos.
Question: 14
(a) Are the sweets in the tray enough to pack 23 small boxes?
Answer: Number of laddoos needed to pack 1 small box = 4
Number of laddoos needed to pack 23 small boxes = 4 × 23
= 92
Therefore, 80 laddoos are not sufficient to pack 23 small boxes.
(b) How many more sweets are needed?
Answer: Number of laddoos required to pack 23 small boxes = 92
Number of laddoos available = 80
Number of more laddoos needed = 92 – 80
= 12 laddoos
Therefore, 12 more laddoos are required to pack 23 small boxes.
(c) Gangu also has a bigger box in which he packs 12 laddoos. How many boxes does he need to pack 60 laddoos?
Answer: Number of boxes needed to pack 12 laddoos = 1

Need of wheat for 8 people in a day = 60 ÷ 30
= 2 kg
Therefore, the need of weight for 8 people in a day = 2 kg
So, the need of wheat for 8 people for 7 days = 2 kg × 7
= 14 kg

Question: 32
Meera made 204 candles to sell in the market. She makes packets of 6. How many packets will she make?
If she packs them in packets of 12, then how many packets will she make?
Answer: Number of candles to be sold in the market = 204
Number of packets Meera made = 6
Number of candles in one packet = 6
Number of packets of candles Meera made = 204 ÷ 6
Hence, Meera will make 34 packets of candles.
Now, Meera makes 12 packets.
Number of candles in one packet = 12
Number of packets made by Meera = 204 ÷ 12
Hence, Meera makes 17 packets if she packs the candles in 12 packets.
