1A school orders 6 boxes of markers. Each box holds 24 markers. How many markers are ordered in all?
A.30
B.120
C.144
D.168
Explanation: Multiply the number of boxes by the markers in each box: 6 × 24 = 144. This finds the total of equal groups.
2Liam packs 35 bags of trail mix. Each bag has 18 raisins. How many raisins does he use?
A.53
B.280
C.630
D.315
Explanation: Multiply 35 × 18. One way: 35 × 10 = 350 and 35 × 8 = 280, then 350 + 280 = 630.
3A theater has 28 rows with 16 seats in each row. How many seats are in the theater?
A.44
B.336
C.448
D.384
Explanation: 28 × 16 = 28 × 10 + 28 × 6 = 280 + 168 = 448 seats.
4Maria reads 4 times as many pages as Tom. Tom reads 12 pages. How many pages does Maria read?
A.16
B.48
C.36
D.8
Explanation: '4 times as many' means multiply: 4 × 12 = 48 pages.
5Which equation matches the statement '36 is 9 times as many as 4'?
A.36 = 9 + 4
B.36 = 9 − 4
C.36 = 9 × 4
D.36 = 4 × 4 × 4
Explanation: '9 times as many as 4' is written as 9 × 4, and that product equals 36.
6A baker has 72 muffins and puts them equally into 8 boxes. How many muffins are in each box?
A.8
B.9
C.10
D.64
Explanation: Divide the total by the number of boxes: 72 ÷ 8 = 9 muffins per box.
7What is 47 × 26?
A.1,122
B.1,222
C.1,012
D.972
Explanation: 47 × 20 = 940 and 47 × 6 = 282. Add: 940 + 282 = 1,222.
8A class needs 100 pencils. Pencils come in packs of 8. What is the fewest number of packs needed so there are at least 100 pencils?
A.12
B.13
C.11
D.100
Explanation: 100 ÷ 8 = 12 remainder 4. Twelve packs give only 96 pencils, so 13 packs are needed.
9What is 3,608 × 5?
A.15,040
B.18,040
C.18,400
D.15,400
Explanation: 3,608 × 5 = 18,040. Multiply each place carefully, including the zero in the tens place.
10A factory ships 125 crates. Each crate holds 48 jars. How many jars are shipped?
A.173
B.5,000
C.6,000
D.5,750
Explanation: 125 × 48 = 125 × 50 − 125 × 2 = 6,250 − 250 = 6,000 jars.
