Complete the Table

1Each garland has 10 flowers. Complete the given table for Rohan, Simran, Akash, Suwali, Javed, and Zoha.Show solution

Given: Each garland has 10 flowers.

We write the number of tens (garlands) and ones (extra flowers) and find the total.

NameTens (garlands)Ones (extra flowers)Total
Rohan1210+2=1210 + 2 = 12
Simran3730+7=3730 + 7 = 37
Akash4840+8=4840 + 8 = 48
Suwali5350+3=5350 + 3 = 53
Javed4340+3=4340 + 3 = 43
Zoha2020+0=2020 + 0 = 20

(Note: Javed's and Zoha's values are read from the picture described in the chapter. Javed = 43 flowers, Zoha = 20 flowers.)

How many flowers are used by Rohan and Suwali together?

1Rohan has 12 flowers and Suwali has 53 flowers. How many flowers do they have together?Show solution

Given:

  • Rohan's flowers = 1212
  • Suwali's flowers = 5353

We add using the column method (Tens and Ones):

TO12+  5365\begin{array}{r} \text{T} \quad \text{O} \\ 1 \quad 2 \\ +\; 5 \quad 3 \\ \hline 6 \quad 5 \end{array}

Step 1: Add Ones → 2+3=52 + 3 = 5
Step 2: Add Tens → 1+5=61 + 5 = 6

12+53=6512 + 53 = \boxed{65}

Rohan and Suwali together have 65 flowers.

How many flowers are used by Zoha and Javed in all?

1Zoha has 20 flowers and Javed has 43 flowers. How many flowers do they have in all?Show solution

Given:

  • Zoha's flowers = 2020
  • Javed's flowers = 4343

Using column method:

TO20+  4363\begin{array}{r} \text{T} \quad \text{O} \\ 2 \quad 0 \\ +\; 4 \quad 3 \\ \hline 6 \quad 3 \end{array}

Step 1: Add Ones → 0+3=30 + 3 = 3
Step 2: Add Tens → 2+4=62 + 4 = 6

20+43=6320 + 43 = \boxed{63}

Zoha and Javed together have 63 flowers.

2What is the total number of flowers used by Zoha and Akash?Show solution

Given:

  • Zoha's flowers = 2020 (Tens = 2, Ones = 0)
  • Akash's flowers = 4848 (Tens = 4, Ones = 8)

Using column method:

TO20+  4868\begin{array}{r} \text{T} \quad \text{O} \\ 2 \quad 0 \\ +\; 4 \quad 8 \\ \hline 6 \quad 8 \end{array}

Step 1: Add Ones → 0+8=80 + 8 = 8
Step 2: Add Tens → 2+4=62 + 4 = 6

20+48=6820 + 48 = \boxed{68}

Zoha and Akash together have 68 flowers.

3What is the total number of flowers used by Rohan and Simran?Show solution

Given:

  • Rohan's flowers = 1212 (Tens = 1, Ones = 2)
  • Simran's flowers = 3737 (Tens = 3, Ones = 7)

Using column method:

TO12+  3749\begin{array}{r} \text{T} \quad \text{O} \\ 1 \quad 2 \\ +\; 3 \quad 7 \\ \hline 4 \quad 9 \end{array}

Step 1: Add Ones → 2+7=92 + 7 = 9
Step 2: Add Tens → 1+3=41 + 3 = 4

12+37=4912 + 37 = \boxed{49}

Rohan and Simran together have 49 flowers.

Let us do it on Ginladi (Number Line Addition)

A25+12=?25 + 12 = ? (Count 12 ahead of 25 on the ginladi/number line)Show solution

Given: 25+1225 + 12

Method: Start at 25. First jump 10 steps forward to reach 35. Then jump 2 more steps forward to reach 37.

25+10=3525 + 10 = 35
35+2=3735 + 2 = 37

25+12=3725 + 12 = \boxed{37}

B57+34=?57 + 34 = ? (Count 34 ahead of 57 on the ginladi/number line)Show solution

Given: 57+3457 + 34

Method (breaking 34 into tens and ones):
57+34=57+30+457 + 34 = 57 + 30 + 4

Step 1: 57+30=8757 + 30 = 87
Step 2: 87+4=9187 + 4 = 91

11+22=3311 + 22 = \boxed{33}

Playing with Blocks — Addition with Regrouping

1Mahi has some blocks and Isha brings more blocks. The example shown: 5 tens 11 ones → regroup to 6 tens 1 one. Find the total.Show solution

Given: 5 tens and 11 ones.

Concept: 10 ones = 1 ten (regrouping)

11 ones=1 ten+1 one11 \text{ ones} = 1 \text{ ten} + 1 \text{ one}

So: 5 tens+1 ten=6 tens5 \text{ tens} + 1 \text{ ten} = 6 \text{ tens}, and 1 one1 \text{ one} remains.

Total=6 tens 1 one=61\text{Total} = 6 \text{ tens } 1 \text{ one} = \boxed{61}
