11. Try these:

(a) Kannu made a necklace of 17 sea-shellls. How many such necklaces can be made using 100 sea-shells?

Ans. (a) Let us do this problem by the process of repeated subtraction.

(1) 100 – 17 = 83

(2) 83 – 17 = 66

(3) 66 – 17 = 49

(4) 49 -17 = 32

(5) 32 – 17 = 15

Thus, Kannu can make 5 necklaces of 17 sea-shells using 100 sea-shells. He will also be left with 15 sea-shells as unused.

 (b) One carton can hold 85 soaps. Shally wants to pack 338 soaps. How many cartons does the need for packing all of them?

Ans. (b) By the process of repeated subtraction, we have

(2) 253 – 85 = 168

(3) 168 – 85 = 83

(c) 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?

Ans. (c) By the process of repeated subtraction, we have

(1) 1500 – 250 = 1250

(2) 1250 – 250 = 1000

(3) 1000 – 250 = 750

(4) 750 – 250 = 500

(5) 500 – 250 = 250

(6) 250 – 250 = 0

Thus, the truck will make 6 trips to carry 1500 sacks of cement.

Driver’s charge for 1 trip = Rs. 500

Therefore, driver’s charge for 6 trips = Rs. (500  6) = Rs. 3000

Thus, the money paid by Manpreet to driver = Rs. 3000.
