Q5: A boy bought 8 pencils for ₹46.80. What is the cost of each pencil?

First, we need to divide the total cost by the number of pencils to find the cost of each pencil.\[ \text{Cost of each pencil} = \frac{46.80}{8} \]Now, divide 46.80 by 8:

      
8) 46.80 (5.85

Q6: A car covers a distance of 276.75 km in 4.5 hours. What is the average speed of the car?

The formula for average speed is:\[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Time Taken}} \]We are given:
– Total Distance = 276.75 km
– Time Taken = 4.5 hours
Now, substitute the values into the formula:\[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{276.75}{4.5} \]Now, divide 276.75 by 4.5:

    
4.5) 276.75 (61.5

The average speed of the car is 61.5 km/h.Answer: 61.5 km/h


Q7: 2.25 m of a cloth costs ₹326.25. What is the cost of 1 m of cloth?

We are given:
– Cost of 2.25 meters of cloth = ₹326.25
To find the cost of 1 meter, we divide ₹326.25 by 2.25:\[ \text{Cost of 1 meter} = \frac{326.25}{2.25} \]Let’s convert both numbers to remove decimals: \[ \frac{32625 \div 100}{225 \div 100} = \frac{32625}{225} \]Now, perform long division:

         
225) 32625 (145
    -225
     ------
      1012   (Bring down 6)
     - 900
     -------
       1125
      -1125

          0

So, the cost of 1 metre of cloth is ₹145.
Answer: ₹145


Q8: The product of two numbers is 52.8. If one of them is 8.25, find the other.

We are given:
– Product = 52.8
– One number = 8.25
We need to find the other number: \[ \text{Other number} = \frac{52.8}{8.25} \]To eliminate decimals, multiply both numerator and denominator by 100: \[ \frac{5280}{825} \]Now, perform long division:

           
825 ) 5280.00 (6.4
     -4950
      --------
       3300
      -3300

Answer: 6.4


Q9: How many equal pieces, each of length 3.6 cm can be cut from a rope of length 61.2 cm?

We are given:
– Total length of rope = 61.2 cm
– Length of each piece = 3.6 cm
We need to find how many such pieces can be cut: \[ \text{Number of pieces} = \frac{61.2}{3.6} \]To remove decimals, multiply both numerator and denominator by 10: \[ \frac{612}{36} \]Now perform long division:

           
36) 612 (17
   -36
   ------
    252
   -252
   ------
      0

Answer: 17 pieces
