Playing With Numbers(4th Grade > Mathematics ) Questions and Answers

Question 1. State True or False:
If 52 is divisible by 4, then 56 is also divisible by 4.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    6
  4.    9
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
If 52 is divisible by 4, the next 4th number from 52 should also be divisible by 4.
52+4=56
Hence, 56 is also divisible by 4.
Alternate method
If the last two digits of anumber are divisible by4, then the entire number is divisible by4.
e.g In 52 last 2 digits are 52 which is divisible by 4.
52÷4=13 with remainder 0.
Similarly, In 56last 2 digits are 56 which is divisible by 4.
56÷4=14 with remainder 0.

Question 2. There are 88 students going on a trip in 4 school buses. Each bus has equal number of students. How many students are there in each bus?
 
  1.    22
  2.    23

  4.    25
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> 22
:
A
Given:
Number of students going on a trip = 88
Number of school buses = 4
If there are an equal number of students in each bus, then
The number of students in each bus = 88÷4=22
There Are 88 Students Going On A Trip In 4 School Buses. Eac...
There are 22 students in each bus.

Question 4. Long division is the only way to check if a number is divisible by another number.
  1.    True 
  2.    False 
  3.    2 km
  4.    1 km
Explanation:-
Answer: Option B. -> False 
:
B
Long division method is not the only way to check if a number is divisible by another number. One can use Divisibility Rules alsoto check divisibility.

Question 5. 1011 + 1011 + 1011…..  (9times)=?
  1.    9909
  2.    9990
  3.    9099
  4.    9999
Explanation:-
Answer: Option C. -> 9099
:
C
Multiplication is repeated Addition.
1011 is repeatedly added 9 times = 1011 X 9
1011X9––––9099–––––
1011 × 9 = 9099

Question 6. 3 friends ordered 2 pizzas of 6 slices each and ate equal amounts. How many slices did each person eat? 
  1.    3 slices
  2.    4 slices
  3.    2 slices
  4.    6 slices
Explanation:-
Answer: Option B. -> 4 slices
:
B
Total number of pizzas = 2
Number of slices in each pizza = 6
Total number of slices in both the pizzas = 2×6=12
Number of friends = 3
Hence, each friend gets 12÷3=4 slices.

Question 7.   A And B Travel From Home To School And back Once A Day...  
A and B travel from home to school and back once a day. How much more distance does B travel from Monday to Friday?
  1.    20 km
  2.    10 km
  3.    2 km
  4.    1 km
Explanation:-
Answer: Option B. -> 10 km
:
B
Monday to Friday = 5 days
Distance travelled by A in 1 day
  A And B Travel From Home To School And back Once A Day...
Distance travelled by B in 1 day
  A And B Travel From Home To School And back Once A Day...
Total distance travelled by A in 5 days
= 2×5=10km
Total distance travelled by B in 5 days
= 4×5=20km
So, B travels (2010) km= 10 kmmore than A from Monday to Friday.

Question 8. How do we check if 87 is divisible by 3?
  1.    Check if the units place is odd or even.
  2.    Check if the units place is 3, 6 or 9.
  3.    Check if the sum of the digits is 9.
  4.    Check if the sum of digits is divisible by 3.
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> Check if the sum of digits is divisible by 3.
:
D
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
Sum of the digits of 87 = 8+7=15
15 is divisible by 3.
Hence, 87 is also divisible by 3.

Question 9. Solve it

Explanation:-
Answer: Option C. -> 13551
:
C
119718+3833––––––13551

Question 10. 5763 is completely divisible by which of the given options:
  1.    3
  2.    4
  3.    6
  4.    9
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> 3
:
A
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
In 5763 sum of the digits is = 5+7+6+3=21, which is exactly divisible by 3.
So, 5763 is divisible by 3.
A number is divisible by 4if itslast two digits aredivisible by 4. The last two digits in 5763 are 63 which is not divisible by 4.
Hence 5763 is not divisible by 4
5763 is not divisible by6, as it is an odd number. To be divisible by 6, the number should be divisible by both 3 and 2. Only even numbers are divisible by 2.
A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
In 5763 sum of the digits is = 5+7+6+3=21, which is not divisible by 9.
So, 5763 is not divisible by 9.
Hence 5763 is divisible by 3.
