Daisy and Lou Go Shopping

Q: Daisy and Lou are very excited about their trip. They join their mother in the weekly shopping as they need to buy things for their trip. The family makes a list of things to buy:  

  • Fruits and vegetables 
  • Field Trip Items-Biscuits, Water Bottles, and Dry Fruits. 

Sapan Dada has a cart for selling vegetables and fruits. The prices of the vegetables and fruits are given below.

Sapan Dada asks Daisy and Lou to find the costs of different quantities of fruits and vegetables. Help them to complete the tasks. You may use a number line, play money or any other method to calculate.

Ans: The amount is double.

Q: Their mother buys things for ₹163. What might she have bought? There is more than one possibility.

Ans: Since, ₹ 163 = ₹ 45 + ₹ 95 + ₹ 23 = ₹ 70 + ₹ 70 + ₹ 23
So, the mother might have bought 1 kg custard apple, 1 kg beans, and 1 kg radish or 2 kg sapota and 1 kg radish or 1 kg beans, 1 kg yam and 1 kg radish.

Q: Daisy and Lou help Udaya Didi return the balance to customers. Calculate the balance for the given transactions.

Ans: 

Q: Lou and Daisy buy 3 kg bananas to eat on the way with their friends. Which of the following options can they use to buy the bananas?

Ans: Cost of 1 kg banana = ₹ 55
Cost of 3 kg banana = ₹ 55 + ₹ 55 + ₹ 55 = ₹ 165
Therefore, Lou and Daisy will choose the option (b) to by the bananas.

A Strange Puzzle!

Q: Four kids buy two oranges each at ₹21 per orange. They pay different notes: Krishna (₹50), Sudama (₹100), Mala (₹200), Neela (₹500). What is the balance each got?

Ans: Cost for 2 oranges = 2 × ₹21 = ₹42

  • Krishna: Paid ₹50, Balance: ₹50 − ₹42 = ₹8
  • Sudama: Paid ₹100, Balance: ₹100 − ₹42 = ₹58
  • Mala: Paid ₹200, Balance: ₹200 − ₹42 = ₹158
  • Neela: Paid ₹500, Balance: ₹500 − ₹42 = ₹458

Q1: Place the numbers 1–6 in the blanks so the sum on each side of the triangle is 9. No numbers should be repeated.

Ans:  Place numbers such that each side (3 numbers) sums to 9:

  • Vertices: 1, 2, 3; Sides: 4, 5, 6

1 + 6 + 2 = 2 + 4+ 3 = 3 + 5 + 1 = 9

Q2: Use the same numbers 1–6 and make the sum 10 on each side of the triangle.

Ans: Example: 1, 3, 5 at corners; 2, 4, 6 on sides, arranged so each side sums to 10 (e.g., 1 + 4 + 5 = 10).

1 + 4 + 5 = 5 + 2 + 3 = 3 + 6 + 1 = 10

Q3: What other sums can you make with these 6 numbers? Can you make 12 on each side? Can you make 13?

Ans:

4 + 5 + 2 = 2 + 3 + 6 = 4 + 1 + 6 = 11
Thus the other sum can we make using these numbers is 11.

4 + 3 + 5 = 5 + 1 + 6 = 6 + 2 + 4 = 12
But we cannot make 13 using numbers 1-6 on each side of the triangle without repetition of the numbers. In a magic triangle, the numbers on each side must add to the same total. To get the highest possible side sum, we place the highest numbers (6, 5, 4) at the corners. Their sum, 6 + 5 + 4 = 15. Since corner numbers are counted twice, total corner sum = 15 × 2 = 30. Now, the sum of the remaining middle numbers = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. So, maximum total side of sum 30 + 6 = 36. Therefore, maximum possible side sum = 36 + 3 = 12. Therefore, it is impossible to create a magic triangle with a sum of 13 using numbers 1-6 on each side of the triangle without repeating the numbers.

Q: What strategy did you use to place the numbers?
Ans: Start with the smallest or largest numbers at corners, then adjust side numbers to balance the sum. Check each side’s sum and swap numbers if needed to ensure equality.

Page 101Add UpQ1: Estimate the number of teachers going. How many teachers are accompanying the children?
Ans:

  • Estimate: 24 + 28 ≈ 20 + 30 = 50 teachers.
  • Exact: 24 + 28 = 52 teachers.

Q2: How many children are going on the trip? Estimate the number of children.

Ans:

  • Exact: 438 (from school) + 476 (neighbourhood school) = 914 children.
  • Estimate: 438 ≈ 400, 476 ≈ 500, so 400 + 500 = 900 children.

Q1: In Kalakshitij, a school of performing arts, the following number of students are learning to sing and play the tabla. Estimate and then find the total number of students.

15 more girls join the music school and they want to learn to play the tabla. How many girls play the tabla now?

Ans:

  • Boys: 78 (Tabla) + 532 (Singers) = 610
  • Girls: 95 (Tabla) + 346 (Singers) = 441
  • Total Tabla: 78 + 95 = 173
  • Total Singers: 532 + 346 = 878
  • Total Students: 610 + 441 = 1051
  • Estimate: 78 ≈ 80, 532 ≈ 500, 95 ≈ 100, 346 ≈ 350; Total ≈ 80 + 500 + 100 + 350 = 1030
  • New tabla girls: 95 + 15 = 110

Q1. These books are in the community library of Wakanda village. Children borrow these books to read during their vacation. 

 a) Rami read Panchatantra Tales during the summer vacation. Kesu read Akbar Birbal, Karadi Tales and Blue Umbrella. Who do you think read more? How many more pages?

Ans: Rami read: Panchatantra Tales = 236 pages

  • Kesu read:
    • Akbar Birbal = 96 pages
    • Karadi Tales = 30 pages
    • Blue Umbrella = 90 pages
    • Total = 96 + 30 + 90 = 216 pages

Rami read more pages.

Rami read more. She read 20 pages more than Kesu.

b) Sumi read 23 pages of Adventures of Feluda. How many more pages to complete?

Ans: Total pages in Adventures of Feluda = 128

Pages read = 23

Pages left = 128 – 23 = 105

c) Jaggu finished Swami and Friends, Akbar Birbal, and 50 pages of Feluda. How many more pages to finish all books?

Ans: Total pages = 179 + 236 + 30 + 96 + 90 + 128 = 759 pages

Pages Jaggu has read:

  • Swami and Friends = 179
  • Akbar Birbal = 96
  • Feluda = 50
    Total read = 179 + 96 + 50 = 325 pages
