2.468/9 = candles in each box

3. 6 shelves me 522

Solution:
1) Given:
- A workers earns ₹966 per week.
To Find:
- What is his daily income ?
Process:
We know that in a week there are seven days. Therefore, to get the daily income we have to divide weekly income by 7. The answer we get after that is the daily income.
Solution:
Weekly income of the worker = ₹966
Daily income of the worker = ₹966 / 7
= ₹138
Hence, the worker earns ₹138 daily.

2) Given:
- 468 candles are arranged in 9 boxes equally.
To Find:
- How many candles aare there in each box ?
Process:
It's given that 468 candles are kept equally in 9 boxes. So, simply we have to divide 468 by 9 to get the number of candles in each box.
Solution:
Number of candles kept in 9 boxes = 468 candles
Number of candles in each box = (468 / 9) candles
= 52 candles
Hence, each box contains 52 candles.

3) Given:
- 522 books are arranged in 6 shelves.
To Find:
- How many books can be arranged in 30 such shelves ?
Process:
We know that 522 books can be arranged in 6 shelves. So, we can find the number of books in each shelf using unitary method (dividing the total number of books by the total number of shelves) and then multiply the result by 30 to get the number of books that can be arranged in 30 shelves.
Solution:
Number of books arranged in 6 shelves = 522 books
Number of books arranged in each shelf = (522 / 6) books
= 87 books
Number of books arranged in 30 shelves = (87 × 30) books
= 2610 books
Hence, 2610 books can be arranged in 30 shelves.
