Answers and explanations for all 10 questions

Every answer with the reasoning behind it. Worth reading after you have tried the set — or on its own, if you are a parent marking it.

  1. 234 × 3 = ?

    Answer: 702

    234 × 3 = 702.

  2. 405 × 6 = ?

    Answer: 2430

    405 × 6 = 2430. The 0 tens still hold the column open.

  3. 96 ÷ 4 = ?

    Answer: 24

    96 ÷ 4 = 24.

  4. 738 ÷ 6 = ?

    Answer: 123

    738 ÷ 6 = 123: 7 hundreds gives 1 with 1 left over, then 13 tens, then 18 ones.

  5. There are 8 boxes of pencils with 24 pencils in each box. How many pencils are there altogether?

    Answer: 192

    8 × 24 = 192.

  6. 270 sweets are shared equally among 9 children. How many sweets does each child get?

    Answer: 30

    270 ÷ 9 = 30.

  7. ? × 7 = 350

    Answer: 50

    350 ÷ 7 = 50, and 50 × 7 = 350.

  8. Mrs Lim bought 5 packets of buns with 12 buns in each packet. Her family ate 8 buns. How many buns were left?

    Answer: 52

    5 × 12 = 60, then 60 − 8 = 52.

  9. 125 pupils sit 4 to a bench. What is the smallest number of benches needed to seat them all?

    Answer: 32

    125 ÷ 4 = 31 with 1 left over, and that last pupil still needs a bench, so 32 benches are needed.

  10. 53 ÷ 6 = 8 remainder ?

    Answer: 5

    8 × 6 = 48, and 53 − 48 = 5, so the remainder is 5.
