Try a sample Multiplication and division word problems question
Question 1 — Easy
Anika has 3 shelves of books. Each shelf holds 9 books. How many books are there altogether?
Answer: 3 × 9 = 27. Multiplying the number of shelves by the books per shelf gives 27 books in total.
Question 2 — Medium
Kofi is packing mango slices into bags at a market stall. Each bag holds 8 mango slices. He has 5 full trays with 9 slices on each tray. How many complete bags can Kofi fill?
Answer: First, find the total number of mango slices: 5 × 9 = 45. Then divide by 8 to find how many complete bags: 45 ÷ 8 = 5 remainder 5. So Kofi can fill 5 complete bags with 5 slices left over. Wait — 5 complete bags is option B. Re-checking: 45 ÷ 8 = 5.625, so 5 complete bags. The correct answer is B. Reassigning: correct answer is B = 5.
Question 3 — Hard
Priya is setting up tables for a school lunch. She has 6 tables and wants to place 7 chairs at each table. She already has 18 chairs. How many more chairs does she need?
Answer: First, find the total chairs needed: 6 groups of 7 gives a product of 42. Priya already has 18 chairs, so 42 − 18 = 24 more chairs are needed. Option A is just the product 42 without subtracting the 18 she already has. Option C adds 18 and 7 incorrectly. Option D multiplies 6 × 6 instead of 6 × 7.
