Solved Examples
-
Example 1: Randall and Kate are playing trick-or-treat on Halloween. They have collected 126 chocolates. They have to split it 3 ways with Kevin who has collected 63 chocolates. How many chocolates do they each end up with?
Let us first calculate the total number of chocolates they collected.
Total number of chocolates collected = 126 + 63 = 189
Number of chocolates they each get = 189 / 3 = 63Therefore, they each get a total of 63 chocolates.

Example 2: Bob is asked by his teacher to find the first 5 odd multiples of the number 63. Can you help him?
To find the odd multiples of 63, we need to multiply by 1, 3, 5, 7 etc.
63 × 1 = 63
63 × 3 = 189
63 × 5 = 315
63 × 8 = 441
63 × 9 = 567
Therefore, the first 5 odd multiples of 63 are 63, 189, 315, 441, and 567.
