Answers

Primary 3 Mathematics Quiz - Multiplication Division — Answer Key

Total Marks: 55

Section A: Multiple Choice (Questions 1 to 5)

Answer 1.

Answer: B. 56 (2 marks)

Multiplication means equal groups: $7 \times 8$ means 7 groups of 8.
Method: recall the table of 8: $8 \times 7 = 56$ . Check by doubling: $7 \times 4 = 28$ , and $28 + 28 = 56$ .
Common mistake: choosing 63, which is $7 \times 9$ . Always match the second factor carefully.

Answer 2.

Answer: B. 6 (2 marks)

Division asks: how many equal groups? $54 \div 9$ asks "9 times what makes 54?"
Method: recall $9 \times 6 = 54$ , so $54 \div 9 = 6$ .
Common mistake: choosing 7 or 8 from near-by table facts; check by multiplying back: $9 \times 6 = 54$ ✓.

Answer 3.

Answer: A. 2 (2 marks)

A remainder is what is left over after making as many equal groups as possible.
Method: find the largest multiple of 6 that is not more than 44: $6 \times 7 = 42$ . Then $44 - 42 = 2$ .
So $44 \div 6 = 7$ remainder 2. The remainder is 2.
Common mistake: choosing C (7) — that is the quotient, not the remainder. Read the question for the word "remainder".

Answer 4.

Answer: C. 48 (2 marks)

An array shows equal rows, so we multiply: 6 rows of 8 counters.
Method: $6 \times 8 = 48$ .
Common mistake: choosing A (14) by adding $6 + 8$ . Rows of objects are counted by multiplying, not adding.

Answer 5.

Answer: D. 72 (2 marks)

"9 packets of 8 stickers each" means 9 equal groups of 8, so multiply.
Method: $9 \times 8 = 72$ .
Common mistake: choosing A (17) by adding $9 + 8$ . Equal groups always point to multiplication.

Section B: Short Answer (Questions 6 to 10)

Answer 6.

Answer: 9 (2 marks)

The missing number is a factor: something times 6 makes 54.
Method: use the inverse operation, division: $54 \div 6 = 9$ .
Check: $9 \times 6 = 54$ ✓.
Marking: 1 mark for method ( $54 \div 6$ ), 1 mark for answer 9.

Answer 7.

Answer: 702 (2 marks)

"Product" means the answer to a multiplication.
Column method with regrouping:
- Ones: $4 \times 3 = 12$ → write 2, carry 1 to the tens.
- Tens: $3 \times 3 = 9$ , plus 1 carried = 10 → write 0, carry 1 to the hundreds.
- Hundreds: $2 \times 3 = 6$ , plus 1 carried = 7.
So $234 \times 3 = 702$ .
Check by place value: $200 \times 3 = 600$ , $30 \times 3 = 90$ , $4 \times 3 = 12$ ; $600 + 90 + 12 = 702$ ✓.
Marking: 1 mark for correct method/regrouping, 1 mark for answer 702.

Answer 8.

Answer: 24 (2 marks)

Division can be done by splitting: $96 = 80 + 16$ .
Method: $80 \div 4 = 20$ and $16 \div 4 = 4$ , so $96 \div 4 = 20 + 4 = 24$ .
Long-division check: $9 \div 4 = 2$ remainder 1; bring down the 6 to make 16; $16 \div 4 = 4$ → 24.
Check: $4 \times 24 = 96$ ✓.
Marking: 1 mark for method, 1 mark for answer 24.

Answer 9.

Answers: 9 remainder 2 (2 marks)

Find the largest multiple of 7 not more than 65: $7 \times 9 = 63$ .
Subtract: $65 - 63 = 2$ , so the remainder is 2.
So $65 \div 7 = 9$ remainder 2.
Common mistake: writing 10 remainder −5. The quotient must be the largest whole number of groups, so the remainder must be smaller than 7.
Marking: 1 mark for quotient 9, 1 mark for remainder 2.

Answer 10.

Answer: 12 (2 marks)

"What number multiplied by 8 gives 96?" is a missing-factor problem.
Method: use the inverse operation: $96 \div 8 = 12$ .
Working: $8 \times 10 = 80$ ; $96 - 80 = 16$ ; $16 \div 8 = 2$ ; so $10 + 2 = 12$ .
Check: $8 \times 12 = 96$ ✓.
Marking: 1 mark for method ( $96 \div 8$ ), 1 mark for answer 12.

Section C: Short Problems (Questions 11 to 15)

Answer 11.

(a) One matching multiplication sentence: $4 \times 7 = 28$ (or $7 \times 4 = 28$ ). (1 mark)

(b) Answer: 28 mangoes (2 marks)

The picture shows 4 equal groups of 7, so multiply: $4 \times 7 = 28$ .
Repeated addition check: $7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 28$ ✓.
Marking for (b): 1 mark for correct working ( $4 \times 7$ ), 1 mark for answer 28 with the word "mangoes".
Expected visual support: 4 baskets, each with exactly 7 mangoes, captions "7 mangoes" visible.

Answer 12.

Answer: 870 (3 marks)

Column method with regrouping:
- Ones: $5 \times 6 = 30$ → write 0, carry 3.
- Tens: $4 \times 6 = 24$ , plus 3 carried = 27 → write 7, carry 2.
- Hundreds: $1 \times 6 = 6$ , plus 2 carried = 8.
So $145 \times 6 = 870$ .
Place-value check: $100 \times 6 = 600$ ; $40 \times 6 = 240$ ; $5 \times 6 = 30$

Answer: A. 2 (2 marks)

A remainder is what is left over after making as many equal groups as possible.
Method: find the largest multiple of 6 that is not more than 44: $6 \times 7 = 42$ . Then $44 - 42 = 2$ .
So $44 \div 6 = 7$ remainder 2. The remainder is 2.
Common mistake: choosing C (7) — that is the quotient, not the remainder. Read the question for the word "remainder".

Answer 4.

Answer: C. 48 (2 marks)

An array shows equal rows, so we multiply: 6 rows of 8 counters.

Marking: 1 mark for correct method/regrouping, 1 mark for answer 702.

Answer 8.

Answer: 24 (2 marks)

Division can be done by splitting: $96 = 80 + 16$ .
