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. 46 × 100 = ?

    Answer: 4600

    46 × 100 = 4600 — multiplying by 100 adds two zeros.

  2. 3200 ÷ 40 = ?

    Answer: 80

    3200 ÷ 40 = 80.

  3. 248 × 35 = ?

    Answer: 8680

    248 × 30 = 7440 and 248 × 5 = 1240, and 7440 + 1240 = 8680.

  4. 5152 ÷ 23 = ?

    Answer: 224

    5152 ÷ 23 = 224.

  5. A warehouse has 48 boxes with 125 tiles in each. How many tiles are there altogether?

    Answer: 6000

    48 × 125 = 6000 tiles.

  6. 1000 pencils are packed into boxes of 36. How many pencils are left over?

    Answer: 28

    27 × 36 = 972, and 1000 − 972 = 28 left over.

  7. ? × 45 = 2025

    Answer: 45

    2025 ÷ 45 = 45, and 45 × 45 = 2025.

  8. 1250 pupils travel by coach. Each coach seats 45. How many coaches are needed?

    Answer: 28

    1250 ÷ 45 = 27 with 35 left over, and those 35 still need a coach, so 28.

  9. 6 × 400 = ?

    Answer: 2400

    6 × 4 = 24, then add the two zeros: 2400.

  10. A shop sells 320 pens a week at 5 shops. How many pens does it sell in a week across all the shops?

    Answer: 1600

    5 × 320 = 1600 pens.
