Maharashtra Board 6th Maths Chapter 11, Class 6 Maths Chapter 11 solutions

Question 1.
If 20 metres of cloth costs Rs 3600, find the cost of 16 m of cloth.
Solution:
Cost of 20 metres of cloth = Rs 3600
∴ Cost of 1 metre of cloth =  cost of 20 metres of cloth 20=360020
= Rs 180
∴ Cost of 16 metres of cloth = Cost of 1 metre of a cloth × 16
= 180 x 16 = Rs 2880
∴ The cost of 16 metres of cloth is Rs 2880.

Question 2.
Find the cost of 8 kg of rice, if the cost of 10 kg is Rs 325.
Solution:
Cost of 10 kg rice = Rs 325
∴ Cost of 10 kg rice

Cost of 8 kg rice = Cost of 1 kg rice x 8

∴ The cost of 8 kg rice is Rs 260.

Question 3.
If 14 chairs cost Rs 5992, how much will have to be paid for 12 chairs?
Solution:
Cost of 14 chairs = Rs 5992
∴ Cost of 1 chairs

= Rs 428
∴ Cost of 12 chairs = Cost of 1 chair x 12
= 428 x 12 = Rs 5136
∴ The amount to be paid for 12 chairs is Rs 5136.

Question 4.
The weight of 30 boxes is 6 kg. What is the weight of 1080 such boxes?
Solution:
Weight of 30 boxes = 6 kg
∴ Weight of 1 box

∴ Weight of 1080 boxes = Weight of 1 box x 1080

∴ The weight of 1080 boxes is 216 kg.

Question 5.
A car travelling at a uniform speed covers a distance of 165 km in 3 hours. At that same speed,
a. How long will it take to cover a distance of 330 km?
b. How far will it travel in 8 hours?
Solution:
Distance covered in 3 hours = 165 km
Distance covered in 1 hour

= 55 km
a. Time required to covered a distance of 330 km

= 6 hours
∴ The time required to cover a distance of 330 km is 6 hours.

b. Distance traveled in 8 hours = Distance covered in 1 hour x 8
= 55 x 8 = 440 km
∴ The distance traveled in 8 hours is 440 km.

Question 6.
A tractor uses up 12 litres of diesel while ploughing 3 acres of land. How much diesel will be needed to plough 19 acres of land?
Solution:
Diesel required to plough 3 acres of land =12 litres
∴ Diesel required to plough 1 acre of land

= 4 liters
∴ Diesel required to plough 19 acres of land = Diesel required to plough 1 acre of land x 19
= 4 x 19 = 76 litres
∴ Diesel needed to plough 19 acres of land is 76 litres.

Question 7.
At a sugar factory, 5376 kg of sugar can be obtained from 48 tonnes of sugarcane. If Savitatai has grown 50 tonnes of sugarcanes, how much sugar will it yield?
Solution:
Sugar obtained from 48 tonnes of sugarcane = 5376 kg
∴ Sugar obtained from 48 tonnes of sugarcane

∴ Sugar obtained from 50 tonnes of sugarcane = Sugar obtained from 1 tonne of sugarcane x 50
= 112 x 50 = 5600 kg
∴ 50 tonnes of sugarcane will yield 5600 kg of sugar.

Question 8.
In an orchard, there are 128 mango trees in 8 rows. If all the rows have an equal number of trees, how many trees would there be in 13 rows?
Solution:
Number of mango trees in 8 rows =128
Number of mango trees in 1 row

∴ Number of mango trees in 13 rows = Number of mango trees in 1 row x 13
= 16 x 13 = 208
∴ The number of mango trees in 13 rows are 208.

Question 9.
A pond in a field holds 120000 litres of water. It costs Rs 18000 to make such a pond. How many ponds will be required to store 480000 litres of water, and what would be the expense?
Solution:
Capacity of 1 pond = 1,20,000 litres
Total quantity of water = 4,80,000 litres
∴ Number of ponds required

Amount required to make 1 pond = Rs 18,000
∴ Amount required to make 4 ponds = Amount required to make 1 pond x 4
= 18,000 x 4 = Rs 72,000
∴ The number of ponds required to store 4,80,000 litres of water is 4, and the expense incurred in making the ponds is Rs 72,000.

Question 1.
Vijaya wanted to gift pens to seven of her friends on her birthday. When she went to a shop to buy them, the shopkeeper told her the rate for a dozen pens.
i. Can you help Vijaya to find the cost of 7 pens?
ii. If you find the cost of one pen, you can also find the cost of 7, right? (Textbook pg. no. 59)

∴ Cost of 12 pens

∴ Cost of 7 pens = Cost of one pen x Number of pens = 7 × 7
∴ Cost of 7 pens = Rs 49
∴ The cost of 7 pens (Rs 49) can be found by unitary method.
