Word Problems on Multiplication and Division

Example 26: A truck can carry 7,826 bricks. How many bricks can 175 such trucks carry?

Solution: Number of bricks 1 truck can carry = 7,826
Number of bricks 175 trucks can carry = 7,826 × 175

5 1 4

4 1 3
7 8 2 6

× 1 7 5 Quick Tip

1 1 We are given for 1 and

1 3 9 1 3 0 have to find for more, so
we multiply.
5 4 7 8 2 0
+ 7 8 2 6 0 0

1 3 6 9 5 5 0

So, 175 trucks can carry 13,69,550 bricks.

Example 27: There are 4,410 people in a marriage party. If there is a seating arrangement
