NCERT Class 4 Maths Chapter-11 Tables And Shares 

How many legs?	4	8	12
How many cats?	1	2

So 28 legs mean cats.

Answer:

Number of legs of 1 cat = 1 × 4 = 4

Number of legs of 2 cats = 2 × 4 = 8

Number of legs of 3 cats = 3 × 4 = 12

Continuing in the same manner, we can easily fill the given table.

From the table, we can see that 7 cats have 28 legs.

Q6: Billo has kept his chickens in a box. He counted 28 legs. How many chickens are there?

Answer:

A chicken has 2 legs. So, if there are total 28 legs then the number of chickens kept in the box

= 28 ÷ 2 = 14

Thus, 14 chickens are there in the box.

Q7: Leela has not gone to school for 21 days. For how many weeks was she away from school?

Answer:

Number of days Leela did not go to school = 21 days.

A week has 7 days so the number of weeks Leela did not go to school

= 21 ÷ 7 = 3

Thus, Leela did not go to school for 3 weeks.

Q8: A frog jumps 3 steps at a time starting from 0.

• Count the jumps he takes to reach 27. So, he has taken 27 ÷ 3 = jumps

He has taken jumps, if he is at 36.

• If he is at 42, he has taken jumps. Starting from 0, a rabbit jumps 5 steps at a time.

• In how many jumps does he reach 25?

• He reaches after taking 8 jumps.

• He needs jumps to reach 55.

Answer:

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 3 steps = 1

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 27 steps = 27 ÷ 3 = 9 So, he has taken 27 ÷ 3 = 9 jumps.

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 3 steps = 1

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 36 steps = 36 ÷ 3 = 12 He has taken 12 jumps, if he is at 36.

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 3 steps = 1

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 42 steps = 42 ÷ 3 = 14 If he is at 42, he has taken 14 jumps.

Number of jumps taken by the rabbit to cover 5 steps = 1 Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 25 steps = 25 ÷ 5 = 5 Thus, the rabbit will reach 25 in 5 jumps.

Number of steps covered in 1 jump = 5

Number of steps covered in 8 jumps = 5 × 8 = 40 He reaches 40 after taking 8 jumps.

Number of jumps taken by the rabbit to cover 5 steps = 1

Number of jumps taken by the frog to cover 55 steps = 55 ÷ 5 = 11 He needs 11 jumps to reach 55.

Q10: 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.

• How many shells are left now? Then he took shells for the third necklace.

• So he was left with shells.

• How many necklaces can Dhruv make from 112 shells?

• Are the shells enough for making necklaces for all his friends?

Answer:

After making the first necklace, Dhruv was left with 84 shells. Number of shells used for the second necklace = 28

Number of shells left with Dhruv = 84 − 28 = 56

Working: 84-28=56Thus, Dhruv was left with 56 shells after making the second necklace. Dhruv took 28 more shells for making the third necklace.

Number of shells left with Dhruv after making third necklace = 56 − 28 = 28

Dhruv made a necklace of 28 shells for each of his three friends. After making the necklaces for his friends, he was left with 28 shells.

So, he could make one more necklace with the remaining shells. Thus, Dhruv could make a total of 4 necklaces with 112 shells.

Yes, the number of shells were enough for making necklaces for all the friends. After making 3 necklaces for his friends, 28 shells were still left with Dhruv.

Q11: Kannu made a necklace of 17 sea-shells. How many such necklaces can be made using 100 sea- shells?

Answer:

Kannu made a necklace of 17 sea-shells.

Number of necklace that can be made from 100 sea-shells = 100 / 17 = 6

So, 6 necklaces can be made from 102 sea- shells. Thus 2 more sea-shell is required to make 6 necklaces.

Q12: One carton can hold 85 soap bars. Shally wants to pack 338 soap bars. How many cartons does she need for packing all of them?

Answer:

Soap bars 1 carton can hold = 85

Soap bars 2 cartons can hold = 2 × 85 = 170

Soap bars 3 cartons can hold = 3 × 85 = 255

Soap bars 4 cartons can hold = 4 × 85 = 340

340 soaps can be accomodated in 4 cartons. Thus, 4 cartons will be needed to pack 338 soap bars.

Q13: 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 a truck can carry at a time = 250

In 2 trips number of sack carried = 250 × 2 = 500

In 3 trips number of sack carried = 250 × 3 = 750

In 4 trips number of sack carried = 250 × 4 = 1000

In 5 trips number of sack carried = 250 × 5 = 1250

In 6 trips number of sack carried = 250 × 6 = 1500

Thus, 6 trips are required to carry 1500 sacks.

Q14: Gangu’s Sweets Gangu is making sweets for Id. He has made a tray of 80 laddoos.

Are the sweets in the tray enough to pack 23 small boxes?

• How many more sweets are needed?

• Gangu also has a bigger box in which he packs 12 laddoos.

How many boxes does he need for packing 60 laddoos?

Answer:

Number of laddoos in a box = 4

Number of laddoos in 23 boxes = 4x 23 = 92. Total number of laddoos in the tray = 80

No, the laddoos are not enough to pack in the boxes. There are 80 laddoos and 92 laddoos are required. Thus, Gangu is falling short of 12 laddoos.

How many notes will she get if she wants in return

1. All 100 rupee notes?

1. All 50 rupee notes?

1. All 20 rupee notes?

1. All 5 rupee notes?

Answer:

1. Total money with Razia = Rs 500 Razia wants a change for Rs 500 in the form of 100 rupee notes. Number of 100 rupee notes that Razia will get = 500 ÷ 100 = 5
2. Total money with Razia = Rs 500 Razia wants a change for Rs 500 in the form of 50 rupees notes.Number of 50 rupees notes that Razia will get = 500 ÷ 50 = 10
3. Total money with Razia = Rs 500 Razia wants a change for Rs 500 in the form of 20 rupees notes. Number of 20 rupees notes that Razia will get = 500 ÷ 20 = 25
4. Total money with Razia = Rs 500 Razia wants a change for Rs 500 in the form of 5 rupees notes.
5. Number of 5 rupee notes that Razia will get = 500 ÷ 5 = 100

Q21: 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 made by Meera = 204.

Number of candles in each packet = 6

Total number of packets of candles = 204 ÷ 6 = 34.

Thus, 34 packets are required for 204 candles.

If Meera packs 12 candles in each packet then number of packets required for 204 candles

= 204÷ 12 = 17

Working:

Thus, Meera will be needing 17 packets to pack 204 candles with each packet containing 12 candles.
