A fishing boat goes 18 km downstream in 3 hours and returns in 6 hours.
Find the speed of the boat downstream and upstream.
1. b) 30 km
Speed = 20 ÷ 4 = 5 km/h
In 6 hours → 5 × 6 = 30 km
2. c) ₹150
Price per kg = 750 ÷ 5 = ₹150
3. c) 6
48 ÷ 8 = 6 boats
4. c) ₹750
Per day = 450 ÷ 3 = 150
5 × 150 = ₹750
5. 45 ÷ 9 = 5 hours
6. 1/3 × 120 = 40 litres used
120 – 40 = 80 litres left
7. 3/4 × 240 = 180 red fish
8. 72 ÷ 9 = 8 fish per customer
9. (3 × 180) + (2 × 250) = 540 + 500 = ₹1,040
10.
Downstream speed = 18 ÷ 3 = 6 km/h
Upstream speed = 18 ÷ 6 = 3 km/h
A fish seller sold 48 kg of fish in 6 days. How many kilograms did he sell each day?
A group of fishermen caught 360 fish. If they share them equally among 12 boats, how many fish does each boat get?

If the price of 10 kg of fish is ₹1,200, what is the price of 1 kg and 15 kg?
11. 48 ÷ 6 = 8 kg per day
12. 360 ÷ 12 = 30 fish per boat
13. 2,400 × 4 = ₹9,600
14. 64 ÷ 8 = 8 km/h
15.
1 kg = 1,200 ÷ 10 = ₹120
15 kg = 15 × 120 = ₹1,800
A fisherman caught 96 fish. He sold 5/8 of them in the morning and the rest in the evening.
How many fish did he sell in each part of the day?
There are 5 baskets. Each basket has 25 small fish and 18 big fish.
Find the total number of fish.
A fish pond has 600 fish. If 150 fish are taken out and 90 new fish are added, how many fish are there now?
16.
Morning = 5/8 × 96 = 60
Evening = 96 – 60 = 36 fish
17.
Each basket = 25 + 18 = 43
Total = 43 × 5 = 215 fish
18.
Remaining = 600 – 150 + 90 = 540 fish
There are 3 boats.
Boat A carries 15 people
Boat B carries 20 people
Boat C carries 25 people
How many people can travel together if all boats are used?
Rina buys 4 kg of fish. Each kilogram costs ₹160. She gives ₹700 to the seller. How much money does she get back?
A fishing trip lasted 5 hours.
First 2 hours: the boat covered 10 km
Next 3 hours: it covered 18 km
Find the average speed of the boat for the entire trip.
19. 15 + 20 + 25 = 60 people
20.
Total cost = 4 × 160 = 640
Money returned = 700 – 640 = ₹60
21.
Total distance = 10 + 18 = 28 km
Total time = 5 hours
Average speed = 28 ÷ 5 = 5.6 km/h
22.
2:30 p.m. – 8:00 a.m. = 6 hours 30 minutes
23.
Morning = ¼ × 1,200 = 300
Evening = 1,200 – 300 = 900 fish
