  Patterns in Multiplication by 10s and 100s                      
Note for Teachers: Encourage the learners to understand that when we multiply a 
number by 10, it becomes 10 times, and each digit moves one place value to the left. 
Multiplying by 100 makes the number 100 times larger, shifting each digit two place 
value to the left. Let them notice the pattern of zeros in the place value table.

What is             × 18 5
First, I doubled 18 to get 36. Then I doubled 36 to get 72 
and then I added 18 to 72 to get 90.
I separated 18 into 8 and 10. 8×5 is 40. 10×5 is 50. 
then I added 40 and 50 together to get 90.
I did 20×5, which is 100. Then I took away 2×5, 
which is 10. So, 100 –10 = 90.
Half of 18 is 9. 9×5 is 45 and 9×5 is 45. 
I added 45 and 45 together to get 90.
18×5 = 9×10. So, 90.

FAQs on NCERT Textbook: The Dairy Farm

1. What are the main activities on a dairy farm and how do they help produce milk?
Ans. A dairy farm involves caring for cows, milking them regularly, and storing milk safely. Key activities include feeding animals nutritious grass and grains, cleaning the farm, maintaining healthy conditions, and using modern equipment for milk production and storage. These practices ensure cows stay healthy and produce quality milk for distribution to consumers.
2. How do farmers calculate milk production costs and profits on a dairy farm?
Ans. Dairy farmers track expenses like animal feed, veterinary care, labour, and equipment maintenance, then compare these costs against milk sales revenue. By recording daily milk output and market prices, farmers determine their profit margins. Understanding cost management helps farmers plan budgets and make informed decisions about expanding their dairy farming operations.
3. What types of animals are kept on a dairy farm and why does each type matter?
Ans. Dairy farms primarily raise cows and buffaloes because they produce large quantities of milk. Each animal type has different milk-producing capacities and nutritional needs. Cows typically produce more milk daily compared to buffaloes, but buffalo milk contains higher fat content. Farmers choose breeds based on local climate, available feed, and market demand for dairy products.
4. How does a dairy farm operation work from daily milking to milk delivery?
Ans. The dairy farming process begins with feeding and caring for animals, followed by regular milking using manual or mechanical methods. Freshly collected milk is immediately cooled and stored in refrigerated tanks to maintain quality. Milk is then transported to collection centres or processing plants, where it's tested, pasteurised, and distributed to shops and consumers through supply chains.
5. Why is cleanliness and hygiene so important in dairy farming for Class 5 students to understand?
Ans. Cleanliness prevents diseases in dairy animals and ensures milk safety for human consumption. Dirty farms attract bacteria, insects, and parasites that sicken cows and contaminate milk. Regular washing of animals, milking equipment, and storage areas stops harmful germs from spreading. Proper hygiene practices protect both farm animals and consumers drinking the milk produced.
