Question

First guess the answer and then calculate:
• A flower has five petals. A bunch of flowers has 13 flowers. How many petals are there in the bunch?

• A book has 64 pages. What will be the total number of pages in 8 such books?

• Students stand in rows in the assembly. There are six rows of students. Each row has 17 students. How many students are there?

• A design has 3 flowers in it. A piece of cloth has 17 such designs. How many flowers will be on the cloth?

Answer 1

• Number of flowers in one bunch = 13
Each flower has 5 petals.
Total petals in the bunch = 13 $\times$ 5



Adding the number in the boxes:


So, 13 $\times$ 5 = 65

Thus, there are 65 petals in a bunch.

• Number of books = 8
Each book has 64 pages.
Total pages in 8 books = 8 $\times$ 64



Adding the number in the boxes:



So, 8 $\times$ 64 = 512

There are 512 pages in all the 8 books.

• Number of rows in assembly = 6
Each row has 17 students.
Total students in 6 rows = 6 $\times$ 17



Adding the number in the boxes:


So, 6 $\times$ 17 = 102

There are 102 students in all the 6 rows.

• Number of designs on a piece of cloth = 17
Each design has 3 flowers in it.
Total number of flowers on the cloth = 17 $\times$ 3



Adding the number in the boxes:



So, 17 $\times$ 3 = 51

There are 51 flowers on the cloth.
