(xvi)58 x 2 = 50 x 2 + 8 x 2 = 100 + 16 = 116.

2.First guess the answer and then calculate:
(i)A flower has five petals. A bunch of flowers has 13 flowers. How many petals are there in a bunch?
Ans. Guess: 13 is more than 10 and less than 20 10 times 5 is 50 20 times 5 is 100
So, 13 times 5 is between 50 and 100
Calculation:13 x 5=10×5+3×5
=50+15=65
Hence, there are 65 petals in the bunch.

(ii)A book has 64 pages. What will be the total number of pages in 8 such books?
Ans. Guess: 64 is more than 60 and less than 70 60 times 8 is 480 70 times 8 is 560
So, 64 times 8 is between 480 and 560 Calculation:
64 x 8
= 60×8 + 4×8 = 480 + 32 = 512
Hence, there are 512 pages in 8 books.

(iii) Students stand in rows in the assembly. There are six rows of students. Each row has 17 students. How many students are there?
Ans. Guess: 17 is more than 10 and less than 20 10 times 6 is 60 20 times 6 is 120
So, 17 times 6 between 60 and 120
Calculation: ”
17×6
= 10×6 + 7×6 = 60 + 42 = 102
Hence, there are 102 students in 6 rows.

(iv) A design has 3 flowers in it. A piece of cloth has 17 such designs. How many flowers will be on the cloth?
Ans. Guess: 17 is more than 10 and less than 20 10 times 3 is 30 20 times 3 is 60
So, 17 times 3 is between 30 and 60 Calculation:
17 x 3
= 10×3 + 7×3 = 30 + 21 = 51.

Multiplication Patterns
9×1 = 9
9 x 2 = 18     1 + 8 = 9
9 x 3 = 27     2 + 7 = 9
9 x 4 = 36     3 + 6 = 9
9 x 5 = 45      4 + 5 = 9
9 x 6 = 54       5 + 4 = 9
9 x 1 = 63        6 + 3 = 9
9 x 8 = 12        1 + 2 = 9

1.Did you see the pattern in the 9 times table? What numbers are adding up to 9?
Ans. The 9 times table shows a certain pattern. Digit sum of the products is always

2.Complete the grid by multiplying the numbers.

Look at the cross in your grid.
Add the numbers together from top to bottom.
3 + 6 + 9 = 18
Add the numbers together from left to right.
4 + 6 + 8 = 18
The total is the same.
Ans. The complete grid is as follows:

Let us add numbers as follows:
6 + 12 + 18 = 36 10 + 12 + 14 = 36 9 + 18 + 27 = 54 16 + 18 + 20 = 54 8 + 10 + 12 = 30 5 + 10 + 15 = 30
In each crosses the total remains the same.
•Mark the numbers 1 – 10 in the same grid in one colour. •’ Mark the numbers 12 – 20 in another colour.
• imilarly, mark 21 – 30 in a third colour.
