  6. 20 sweets are shared equally among 4 children. How many sweets does each child get?

    Answer: 5

    20 ÷ 4 = 5.

  7. ? × 5 = 40

    Answer: 8

    40 ÷ 5 = 8, and 8 × 5 = 40.

  8. Mum bought 4 packets of buns with 5 buns in each packet. The family ate 6 buns. How many buns were left?

    Answer: 14

    4 × 5 = 20, then 20 − 6 = 14.

  9. 23 pupils sit 2 to a desk. What is the smallest number of desks needed to seat them all?

    Answer: 12

    23 ÷ 2 = 11 with 1 left over, and that last pupil still needs a desk, so 12 desks are needed.
