Kahlu and Rabia are potters and make earthen pots (kulhad) for trains. They pack 6 kulhads in a box and have packed 174 boxes for delivery. How many kulhads have they made? The total number of kulhads is ________.
Answer
| × | 6 |
|---|---|
| 100 | 100 × 6 = ___ |
| 70 | 70 × 6 = ___ |
| 4 | 4 × 6 = ___ |
| ___ |
The table as it is printed in the book, with 174 split into 100 + 70 + 4.
They have made 1044 kulhads.
174 boxes = 100 boxes + 70 boxes + 4 boxes
100 boxes: 100 × 6 = 600 kulhads
70 boxes: 70 × 6 = 420 kulhads
4 boxes: 4 × 6 = 24 kulhads
174 boxes: 600 + 420 + 24 = 1044 kulhads
100 boxes: 100 × 6 = 600 kulhads
70 boxes: 70 × 6 = 420 kulhads
4 boxes: 4 × 6 = 24 kulhads
174 boxes: 600 + 420 + 24 = 1044 kulhads
| × | 6 |
|---|---|
| 100 | 100 × 6 = 600 |
| 70 | 70 × 6 = 420 |
| 4 | 4 × 6 = 24 |
| 1044 |
The completed table.
Tip: 70 × 6 is easy from 7 × 6 = 42. Ten times 42 is 420.
