Exercise 2.8

1. Find quotient and remainder

a. 5732 ÷ 9

b. 47345 ÷ 5

c. 3032 ÷ 7

d. 43251 ÷ 10

e. 2532 ÷ 4

a. 5732 ÷ 9

Quotient = 636

Remainder = 8

b. 47345 ÷ 5

Quotient = 9469

Remainder = 0

c. 3032 ÷ 7

Quotient = 433

Remainder = 1

d. 43251 ÷ 10

Quotient = 4325

Remainder = 1

e. 2532 ÷ 4

Quotient = 633

Remainder = 0

2. Answer the following:

a) 3057 families are living in a town. The town panchatyat decided to split the town into 3 wards. How many families will be there in each panchayat?

Families in the town = 3057

Families in 1 ward = 1019

b) A water board shares 28,049 litres daily to 7 lorries. How much of water is given to each lorry?

Water given to 7 lorries = 28,049 litres

Water given to each lorry = 4007L

c) A company gives ₹ 93,300 as salary for 6 workers. Find the salary of one worker.

Salary given for 6 workers = ₹ 93,300
