Q.1. How many chocolates does each child receive if 6 children share 12 chocolates?

Solution:

Total number of chocolates = 12

Number of children = 6

So, to find out number of chocolates each child gets, we divide 12 by 6 

Number of chocolates each child gets = 12 ÷ 6 = 2

Therefore, each child gets 2 chocolates.

Q.2. There are 18 apples. Jon arranges them in 3 plates. How many apples are there in each plate?

Solution:

Number of apples = 18 apples

Number of plates = 3 plates

To find out the number of apples that should be in each plate, we need to divide the total number of apples by the number of plates 

Number of apples in each plate = 18 ÷ 3 = 6

This means that Jon should put 6 apples in each of the 3 plates to distribute them equally.

Q.3. The train fare for 11 persons was $3850. What was the fare for one person?

Solution:

Number of persons = 11

Total fare for 11 persons =  $3850

Fare for one person = 3850 ÷ 11 = $350

Thus the fare for one person in train is $350

Q.4. The cost of 15 cycles is $24,405. Find the cost of each cycle.

Solution:

Number of cycles = 15 

Total cost of 15 cycles = $24,405

Cost of each cycle = 24,405 ÷ 15 = $1627

Therefore each cost of each cycle is $1627.

Q.5. $5,876 are distributed equally among 26 men. How much money will each person get?

Solution:

Money received by 26 men =  $5876 

So, money received by one man = 5876 ÷ 26 = $226

Therefore, each man received  $226

Q.6. How many hours are there in 1200 minutes? 

Solution:
We know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour

Number of hours in 1200 minutes = 1200 ÷ 60 = 20 hours

So there are 20 hours in 1200 minutes.

Q. 7. Mark baked 195 cookies and divided them equally into 13 packs. How many cookies did Mark put in each packet?

Solution:

Total number of cookies baked by Mark= 195

Number of packs = 13

Number of cookies put by Mark in each packet = 195  ÷ 13

Therefore, the number of cookies put in each packet is 15.

Q.8. At a grand sale, CDs are on sale for $5. How many CDs can James buy if he has a $635 bill?

Therefore, James bought 127 CDs.

Q.9. In a class, the teacher gave his six students 108 Rupees to share equally. How much money did each student get?

Amount of money each student will get = 108 ÷ 6

Therefore, each student will get 18 Rupees.

Q.10. 92 bags of cement can be loaded in a truck. How many such trucks will be needed to load 2208 bags?

Solution:

Number of cement bags that can be loaded in one truck = 92 bags

Total numbers of cement bags that are to be loaded = 2208 bags

Number of trucks that are required to load 2208 bags = 2208 ÷ 92 = 24

Therefore, 24 trucks are required.
