Sure, let's solve the given word problems step-by-step.
### Part a
1. Problem: Meera had XXV (25) oranges. She divided them among V (5) children equally. How many oranges will each child get?
Solution:
- Total oranges = XXV = 25
- Number of children = V = 5
To find how many oranges each child will get, divide the total number of oranges by the number of children:
[tex]\[
\text{Oranges per child} = \frac{25}{5} = 5
\][/tex]
Answer: Each child will get 5 oranges.
### Part b
2. Problem: There are XLI (41) chairs and XVI (16) tables in a classroom. How many total pieces of furniture are there in the classroom?
Solution:
- Number of chairs = XLI = 41
- Number of tables = XVI = 16
To find the total number of pieces of furniture, add the number of chairs and tables:
[tex]\[
\text{Total furniture} = 41 + 16 = 57
\][/tex]
Answer: There are 57 pieces of furniture in the classroom.
### Part c
3. Problem: A box holds a dozen (XII, 12) pens. How many pens are there in IV (4) such boxes?
Solution:
- Pens per box = XII = 12
- Number of boxes = IV = 4
To find the total number of pens, multiply the number of pens per box by the number of boxes:
[tex]\[
\text{Total pens} = 12 \times 4 = 48
\][/tex]
Answer: There are 48 pens in 4 boxes.
In summary:
- a: Each child will get 5 oranges.
- b: There are 57 pieces of furniture in the classroom.
- c: There are 48 pens in 4 boxes.
