Answer: They have made 1044 kulhads.
Explanation
The chapter applies multiplication to a real-world context. For : Break 174 into 100 + 70 + 4. Then = 600, = 420, = 24. Total = 600 + 420 + 24 = 1044 kulhads.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Total kulhads = 174 boxes × 6 kulhads per box
Step 2: Break 174 into 100 + 70 + 4
Step 3: = 600 kulhads
Step 4: = 420 kulhads
Step 5: = 24 kulhads
Step 6: Total = 600 + 420 + 24 = 1044 kulhads
