B. Colour the Hats
Colour 1/3 of the hats red.
Colour three-fifth hats blue.
(а)How many hats did you colour red?
(b)How many hats did you colour blue? .
(c)What part of the hats are not coloured?
Ans.(a)Total number of hats = 15
1/3 of 15 = 1/3 x 15 = 5
So, 5 hats are coloured red.
(b) 5/3 of 15 =3/5 x 15 = 3 x 3 = 9
So, 9 hats are coloured blue;
(c) Number of hats left = 15 – (9 + 5) = 15 – 14 = 1
Hence, 1/15 part of hats are not coloured.

C. Equal Parts of a Triangle
1.The white triangle is divided into three equal parts. Fill each one-third part with a different colour. Can you show that these parts are equal? Think how.
Ans. Yes, this can be done by making a cut of the parts of the triangle by using tracing paper.
If one part is placed over another part, it is seen that the first part fully covers the second part. Moreover, the second part also fully covers the first part or the third part. This shows that all parts are equal.

2.Now try to make three equal parts of this triangle in a different way. Colour each one-third with a different colour.
NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Maths Chapter 4 Parts And Wholes Page 53 Q2
Ans. The given triangle is coloured with different colours,
This is shown in the following figure.

D.Six parts of a Rectangle
Rani has divided a green rectangle into six equal parts like this.
NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Maths Chapter 4 Parts And Wholes Page 54 Q1
1.Now you divide each of these rectangles into six equal parts. Use a different way for each of the three rectangles.
Ans. These rectangles can be divided into six equal parts as follows:
NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Maths Chapter 4 Parts And Wholes Page 54 Q1.1

Discuss
1.How will you check that each part is really one-sixth of that rectangle?
Ans. This can be done by making cutouts on tracing paper. Cutouts should be placed one over another. If a cutout completely covers another part and its opposite is also true then it means that both parts are equal. This process should be repeated for all the parts to check if they are l/6th of the given rectangle.

2.The green rectangle is bigger than the blue one. Can we say that 1/6 of the green rectangle is bigger than 1/6 of the blue rectangle?
Ans. Yes, if the whole is bigger, then its part is also bigger. So, 1/6 of green rectangle is bigger than 1/6 of the blue rectangle.

Greedy Gatekeepers
1.What happened after that? Complete the story. What part of the prize did the poet get?
Ans. The poet got 100 slaps and returned happily. But as soon as he reached at the first gate he had to give half slaps to the gatekeeper, i.e. 50 slaps.
When he reached the second gate, he had to give 40 slaps to the gatekeeper. Finally, when he reached the last gate, he had to give 10 slaps to the gatekeeper. Thus, Birbal gave 50 + 40 + 10 = 100 slaps as demanded by three gatekeepers. Due to his presence of mind, Birbal did not get a single slap and could teach a lesson to gatekeepers.

An Old Woman’s Will
1.How did this happen? Discuss.
Ans. By adding the aunt’s camel, the number of camel became 20.
First daughter’s share = 1/2 of 20
= 1/2 x 20 = 10
Second daughter’s share = 1/4 of 20
= 1/4×20 = 5
