Question 1.
Find 4 + 5; 2 + 6; 3 + 5 and 1 + 6 using the number line.
Solution:
(i) 4 + 5
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers InText Questions img-2
Let us start from 4. Since, we have to add 5 to this number, we make 5 jumps to the right.
Each jump being equal to 1 unit. After five jumps we reach at 9 (as shown above).
4 + 5 = 9

(ii) 2 + 6
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers InText Questions img-3
Let us start from 2. Since, we have to add 6 to this number, we make 6 equal jumps, each
jump being equal to 1 unit, to the right and reach to 8.
2 + 6 = 8

(iii) 3 + 5
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers InText Questions img-4
We have to add 5 to 3.
We start from 3. We make 5 equal jumps. Each jump being equal to 1 unit (as shown
in the figure) to the right and reach to 8.
3 + 5 = 8

(iv) 1 + 6
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers InText Questions img-5
As we have to add 6 to 1, therefore, we start from 1 and make 6 equal jumps to the right.
Each jump being equal to 1 unit.
We reach to 7.
1 + 6 = 7

Question 1.
Find 8 – 3; 6 – 2; 9 – 6 using the number line.
Solution:
(i) 8 – 3
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers InText Questions img-6
To subtract 3 from 8, start from 8 and make 3 equal jumps towards left. Each jump being
equal to 1 unit.
So, we reach at 5, 8 – 3 = 5.

(ii) 6 – 2
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers InText Questions img-7
To subtract 2 from 6, we start from 6. Make 2 equal jumps towards left. Each jump being
equal to 1 unit.
So, we reach at 4, 6 – 2 = 4

(iii) 9 – 6
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers InText Questions img-8
To subtract 6 from 9, we start from 9 and make 6 equal jumps towards left. Each jump
being equal to 1 unit.
So, we reach at 3, 9 – 6 = 3

Question 1.
Find 2 x 6, 3 x 3; 4 x 2 using the number line.
Solution:
(i) 2 x 6
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers InText Questions img-9
Starting from 0, move 2 units at a time to the right. Make 6 such moves.
So. we reach at 12
2 x 6 = 12

(ii) 3 x 3
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers InText Questions img-10
Starting from 0, move 3 units at a time to the right. Make 3 such moves.
So, we reach at 9,
3 x 3 = 9

(iii) 4 x 2

GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers InText Questions img-11
Starting from 0, move 4 units at a time to the right. Make 2 such moves.
So, we reach at 8,
4 x 2 = 8

Question 1.
Find: 7 + 18 + 13; 16 + 12 + 4
Solution:
(i) 7 + 18 + 13 = (7 + 13) + 18
= 20 + 18 = 38

(ii) 16 + 12 + 4 = (16 + 4) + 12
= 20 + 12 = 32

Question 1.
Find: 25 x 8358 x 4; 625 x 3759 x 8
(i) 25 x 8358 x 4 = (25 x 4) x 8358
(Using associativity of whole numbers)
= (100) x 8358 = 835800

(ii) 625 x 3759 x 8= (625 x 8) x 3759
(Using associativity of whole numbers)
= 5000 x 3759
= 5 x 1000 x 3759
= (3759 x 5) x 1000
= 18795 x 1001) = 18795000
625 x 3759 x 8 = 18795000

Question 1.
Find 15 x 68; 17 x 23; 69 x 78 + 22 x 69
using distributive property.
Solution:
(i) 15 x 68 = (10 + 5) x 68
= (10 x 68) + (5 x 68)
(By distributivity of multiplication over addition)
= 680 + 340 = 1020

(ii) 17 x 23 = 17 x (20 + 3)
= (17 x 20) + (17 x 3)
(By distributivity of multiplication Over addition)
= 340 + 51 = 391

(iii) 69 x 78 + 22 x 69 = 69[78 + 22]
= 69[100]
= 6900
69 x 78 + 22 x 69 = 6900
