(1) b. Tk223

Step 1
Fakhira ordered 2 fries for Tk25 each. Total money she paid for fries = Cost of one fry × Number of fries
ordered
= Tk25 × 2
= Tk50

Step 2
Fakhira ordered 2 burgers for Tk17 each. Total money she paid for burgers = Cost of one burger ×
Number of burgers ordered
= Tk17 × 2
= Tk34

Step 3
Fakhira ordered 5 salads for Tk19 each. Total money she paid for salads = Cost of one salad × Number
of salads ordered
= Tk19 × 5
= Tk95

Step 4
Fakhira ordered 4 sandwiches for Tk11 each. Total money she paid for sandwiches = Cost of one
sandwich × Number of sandwiches ordered
= Tk11 × 4
= Tk44

Step 5
Hence, the total amount Fakhira paid to the shopkeeper = The amount paid for fries + The amount paid
for burgers + The amount paid for salads + The amount paid for sandwiches
= 50 + 34 + 95 + 44
= 223

(2) b. 8760

Step 1
Given, the bodybuilder eats 2 dozen eggs in a day.

Step 2
We know a dozen eggs means 12 eggs. This means that the bodybuilder eats 2 × 12 eggs = 24 eggs in
a day.

Step 3
Hence, the number of eggs the bodybuilder will eat in a year = The number of eggs the bodybuilder eats
in a day × The number of days in a year
= 24 × 365
= 8760 eggs

(3) d. 96

If we look at the given ants, we notice,

Number of legs of 1 ant = 6
Total number of ants = 16
Therefore, the total number of legs of 16 ants = 6 × 16 = 96

(4) c. 189

Step 1
19 84 90

Step 2
Let's multiply the numbers in the story to find the total number of pencils.

9 × 3 × 7 = 189

Step 3
Ivan bought 189 pencils.

(5) 489762

Step 1
According to the question, we have been asked to find the total number of sharpeners that were
distributed in the school.

Step 2
Total number of boxes of sharpeners = 7
Number of sharpeners in each box = 46
Total number of students in school = 1521
Total sharpeners = Number of boxes × sharpeners in each box × Number of students
= 7 × 46 × 1521
= 489762

Step 3
Hence, a total of 489762 sharpeners were distributed to all the students in the school.

(6) 24696

Step 1
The train travels 1029 km in one hour.

Step 2
This means, the train will travel 24 times 1029 km in one day because we have 24 hours in a day.

Step 3
Hence, the train will travel 24 × 1029 km = 24696 km in a day.

(7) 120

Step 1
According to the question, there are 15 breads in one packet.
So, to find the number of breads in 8 such packets, we need to carry out multiplication.

Step 2
Number of breads in 1 packet = 15
Number of breads in 8 such packets = 15 × 8
= 120 breads

(8) 12000324

Step 1
Number of apples in a crate = 73

Step 2
Number of crates carried by a truck = 721

Step 3
Number of trucks = 228

Step 4
We have been asked to find the number of apples that can be transported by 228 trucks.
Number of apples transported = Number of apples in one crate × Number of crates carried by one truck
× Number of trucks
= 73 × 721 × 228
= 12000324

Step 5
Therefore, 12000324 apples can be transported by 228 trucks.

(9) 744

Step 1
One dozen oranges mean 12 oranges. The athlete eats 2 dozen oranges in a day.

Step 2
This means that the number of oranges he eats in a day = 12 × 2 = 24 oranges

Step 3
We know that there are 31 days in the month of August.

Step 4
Hence, the number of oranges the athlete will eat in the month of August = The number of oranges he
eats in one day × The number of days in the month of August
= 24 × 31
= 744 oranges

(10) 65184 km.

Step 1
According to the question, a train travels 388 km in one hour.

Step 2
Number of days in a week = 7 days

Step 3
Number of hours in one day = 24 hours

Step 4
Total distance traveled by the train in one week = Distance traveled by the train in one hour × Number
of days in one week × Number of hours in one day
= 388 × 7 × 24
= 65184

Step 5
Therefore, the total distance traveled by the train in one week is 65184 km.
