Maniratnam—The Cashier
Maniratnam is the cashier of king Jayan. His job is to find out the salary of all the people who work for the king. This chart shows how much salary each person gets in a day.

Maniratnam wanted to calculate the salary of the cook for the month of January. He wrote:

Rupees 1800 + 150 + 60 + 5 = Rs2015
Maniratnam’s daughter Bela had learnt another method to multiply. She wrote like this and showed it to Bhanu, her brother.
Akka, how did you do this?

You can multiply 65 with 31 in two steps. You know that 31 is 30 + 1. So, in the
first step multiply 65 with 1 and in the second step multiply 65 with 30.
Now Bhanu tried to find the salary of a minister for the month of January. He
wanted to multiply 195 x 31

First step: Multiply 195 by 1
Second step: Multiply 195 by 30

called for only 28 days. For each day he has to be paid ? 165. Find out how much
money he will get in all.

Years and Years
(а) Sohan drinks 8 glasses of water everyday.
1.How many glasses will he drink in one month?
Ans.8 x 30 = 240

2.How many glasses will he drink in one year?
Ans.8 x 365 = 2920

3.If 25 people living in a colony drink 8 glasses of water in a day, how much water –
will they drink in a year?
Ans.8 x 125 = 1000
They will drink 1000 glassed of water in a day
Hence, in 365 days they will drink:
365 x 1000 = 365,000 glasses of water

4.Can you guess how many glasses of drinking water are used in a day in your colony?
Ans.Number of people in my colony = 500 Hence, 8 x 500 = 4000

(b)If Soha’s heart beats 72 times in one minute, how many times does it beat in one hour?
•Now find out how many times it beats in one day.
•Count your own heart beats to find out how many times your heart beats in one week.
Ans.Number of heart beats in 1 minute = 72
Hence,number of heart beats in 1 hour or 60 minutes = 60 x 72 = 4320
Number of heart beats in 1 day or 24 hours = 4320 x 24 = 103680

My heart beats 70 times in a minute.
Hence, my heart beats in 1 hour = 70 x 60 = 4200
My heart beats in 1 day = 4200 x 24 = 100800
My heart beats in 1 week = 104800 x 7 = 705600

(c)A baby elephant drinks around 12 L of milk every day. How much milk will it drink in two years?
Ans.Number of days in 2 years = 365 x 2 = 730
Milk consumed in 1 day = 12 L
Hence, milk consumed in 730 days = 730 x 12 = 8760 L

Hence, the baby elephant consumes 8,760 L of milk in two years.

(d)A baby blue whale drinks around 200 L of milk in one day. Just imagine how much milk that is! Find out how many days your family would use 200 L milk. How much milk would the baby blue whale drink in eight months.
Ans. Milk consumed by baby whale in 1 day = 200 L
Milk consumed by baby whale in 30 days = 200 x 30 = 6000 L Milk consumed by baby whale in 8 months = 6000 x 8 = 48000 L My family consumes 5 L milk in a day
Hence, number of days for consuming 200 L milk = 200÷5=40 days

Field (C)………………square metre

Ans.

2.He bought field (A) at the rate of Rs95 for a square metre, field (B) at Rs110 for a square metre and field (C) at Rs 120 for a square metre. Find the cost of all three fields
Ans.

Now, cost of all three fields
= 71820 + 47520 + 61560 = Rs 1,80,900

3.Thulasi and her husband work on Karunya’s farm. The Government has said
that farmworkers should be paid at least Rs 71 for one day’s work. But he pays

•If Thulasi works for 49 days, how much money does she get?
•If her husband works for 42 days, how much money does he get?
•Find the money they earn together.
Ans. Thulasi’s one day’s wages = Rs 55
Hence, 49 day’s wages = 49 x 55 = Rs 2695

Her husband’s one day’s wages = Rs 58
Hence, 42 day’s wages = 58 x 42 = Rs 2436

Their combined earnings 2695 + 2436 = Rs 5131

1.How much did the government spend on the cow?
Ans. Cost of the cow = Rs17500
Money paid by Kamla Bai = Rs5500 –
Hence, money spent by the government = 17500 — 5500 =Rs 12000

2.If 9 people from her village got cows, how much did the government spend in all?
Ans.Government spends Rs12000 for one cow Hence, for 9 cows the government spends 12000 x 9 = Rs 108000.But Kamla Bai was not happy. She had to spend Rs 85 every day on the cow. She made some money by selling the milk. But still she wanted to sell the cow.

Ans. Rs 2550
•Money earned by selling the milk ?
Ans. Rs 2160
•Which is more money spent on the cow or money earned from it?

Fun with Multiplication
(A) Look for the pattern and take this forward
(0 x 9)+1 = 1
(1 x 9)+2 = 11
(12 x 9)+3 = 111
(123 x 9)+4 = 1111
(1234 x 9)+5 = 11111
(12345 x 9)+6 = 111111
Ans. Number of 1 increases at every step in this pattern
(B) Each letter a, b, c here stands for a number

Take a = 1, then find what the numbers b and c will be.
Ans.If a=1, then we have

Hence, b=2andc = 3
(C) Tricks with your age Write your age:
10 years Multiply it by 7:
7×10 = 70
Again multiply the answer by 13:
70×13 = 910
Multiply again that answer by 11:
910 x 11 = 10010
1.Now look at your last answer. Can you find your age in that answer?
Ans. Yes, my age ‘10’ occurs twice in the last answer.

2.Now try this trick with other people.
Ans.Let us take age = 9 years
Multiply by 7:
9 x 7 = 63
Multiply by 13:
63 x 13 = 819
Multiply by 11:
819 x 11 = 9009
The age ‘9’ occurs twice in the last answer.
(D)Going round and round! 
142857 x 1 = 142857
142857 x 2 = 285714
142857 x 3 =428571
142857 x 4 = 571428
142857 x 5 = 714285
Do you find a pattern in all these answers? Discuss this with your friends.
Ans. Yes, we have some pattern each time take starting point 1 more than the previous, i.e. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, etc.If we move clockwise we get the answer:

How Many Times?
976 children are going on a picnic. They will be taken in mini buses. If 25 children can go in one bus, how many buses do they need?
1.Two children have solved it. Check if they have made a mistake, correct it. Discuss

Ans. In the first solution, the mistake is in remainder. The remainder should be 1 instead of zero.
In the second solution; the error is in third and fourth steps of division. The quotients in those steps should be 5 and 4 as shown below:

If one extra child can be accommodated in one of the buses then we need 39 buses.
Otherwise we need 40 buses. Since, taking 1 bus for 1 child is not possible so 39 buses will do.

1.A tank is full of 300 L of water. How much water will be filled in 25 tanks? If 15 buckets can be filled with one tank of water, how many buckets in all can be filled with the water in 25 tanks?
Ans. Water in 1 tank = 300 L
So, water in 25 tanks = 300 x 25 = 7500 L
Now, Water in 1 tank = 15 buckets
So, water in 25 tanks = 25 x 15 = 375 buckets

Hence, number of laddoos in 12 kg = 28 x 12 = 336 laddoos Number of laddoos in 1 box =16 Total number of laddoos = 336
Hence, number of boxes needed for 336 laddoos = 336 + 16 = 21 20 + 1 16) 336 -320 16 -16 X
