Complete answer key – NCERT solutions
Let us Do: Counting Wheels
Number of autorickshaws = 2
Each auto has 3 wheels.
Total wheels = 3 + 3 = 6
2 times 3 is 6 or 2 groups of 3 is 6.
2 × 3 = 6
There are 4 bicycles.
Each bicycle has 2 wheels.
Total wheels = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
4 times 2 is also 8 or 4 groups of 2 give 8.
4 × 2 = 8
Let us do it for cars.
Number of cars = 7
Number of wheels in each car = 4
Total wheels = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 28
7 times 4 is 28
7 groups of 4 is 28
7 × 4 = 28
Let us Do: Butterflies, Octopuses, and Soldiers
Number of butterflies = 3
Number of wings in each butterfly = 2
Total number of wings = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6
3 groups of 2 is 6
3 times 2 is 6
3 twos are 6
3 × 2 = 6
Number of octopuses = 2
Number of legs in each octopus = 8
Total number of legs = 8 + 8 = 16
2 groups of 8 is 16
2 times 8 is 16
2 eights are 16
2 × 8 = 16
Number of lines = 4
Number of soldiers in each line = 10
Total number of soldiers = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40
4 times 10 is 40
4 tens are 40
4 × 10 = 40
Match the Following
9 + 9 + 9 = 3 × 9 = 27
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 7 fives are 35
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 5 times 3 = 15
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 4 groups of 10 = 40
8 + 8 + 8 = 3 × 8 = 24
7 + 7 = 2 sevens are 14
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 4 times 3 = 12
4 × 3 = 12
Complete the Table
Table of 2: 2 × 1 = 2, 2 × 2 = 4, 2 × 3 = 6
Table of 3: 3 × 1 = 3, 3 × 2 = 6, 3 × 3 = 9
Table of 5: 5 × 1 = 5, 5 × 2 = 10, 5 × 3 = 15
Table of 10: 10 × 1 = 10
How Many?
4 groups of 5
4 times 5 is 20
4 × 5 = 20
There are 20 gulab jamuns.
5 groups of 4
5 times 4 is 20
5 × 4 = 20
There are 20 gulab jamuns.
There are 3 bouquets.
3 groups of 4 flowers
3 × 4 = 12
Gopal used 12 flowers in all.
There are 4 bouquets.
4 groups of 3 flowers
4 × 3 = 12
Ram used 12 flowers in all.
6 groups of 4
6 times 4 is 24
6 × 4 = 24
There are 24 flowers.
4 groups of 6
4 times 6 is 24
4 × 6 = 24
There are 24 flowers.
Let us Do: Word Problems
A. There are 8 packets of bindis. Each packet has 5 bindis.
Number of packets = 8
Number of bindis in each packet = 5
8 groups of 5 bindis.
8 × 5 = 40 bindis
