In a hibiscus flower there are 5 petals. Gulabo counted all the petals and found them to be 80. How many flowers did she have?

Correct Answer

Given: Total petals = 80 Petals per flower = 5

Calculation: Number of flowers = 80 ÷ 5 = 16

Alternative method (grouping): 5 petals = 1 flower 10 petals = 2 flowers 50 petals = 10 flowers Remaining 30 petals = 30 ÷ 5 = 6 flowers Total flowers = 10 + 6 = 16

Answer: Gulabo has 16 flowers.

Explanation

The chapter explains division through grouping. Since each flower has 5 petals and there are 80 petals total, we divide 80 by 5. Using the grouping method: 5 petals = 1 flower, so 80 ÷ 5 = 16 flowers. We can also break it down: 50 petals = 10 flowers, remaining 30 petals = 6 flowers, so total = 10 + 6 = 16 flowers.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Total petals = 80, Petals per flower = 5

  2. Step 2: Number of flowers = 80 ÷ 5

  3. Step 3: 50 petals = 10 flowers

  4. Step 4: Remaining 30 petals = 30 ÷ 5 = 6 flowers

  5. Step 5: Total flowers = 10 + 6 = 16 flowers
