Primary 4 Mathematics Quiz - Multiplication Division: Answer Key

Total Marks: 40

---

Section A: Multiple Choice (1 mark each)

1. C) 1 200

Method: To multiply by 50, we can multiply by 100 then divide by 2.
$24 \times 50 = 24 \times 100 \div 2 = 2\,400 \div 2 = 1\,200$
Alternative: $24 \times 5 = 120$, so $24 \times 50 = 1\,200$ (adding a zero).

---

2. D) 72 × 50

Method: Calculate each product.

• A) $40 \times 90 = 3\,600$ ✓
• B) $60 \times 60 = 3\,600$ ✓
• C) $45 \times 80 = 3\,600$ ✓
• D) $72 \times 50 = 3\,600$... wait, let me check: $72 \times 50 = 72 \times 100 \div 2 = 7\,200 \div 2 = 3\,600$ ✓

Actually all equal 3,600. Let me recalculate C: $45 \times 80 = 45 \times 8 \times 10 = 360 \times 10 = 3\,600$.

Re-checking all again more carefully:

• A) $40 \times 90 = 3\,600$ ✓
• B) $60 \times 60 = 3\,600$ ✓
• C) $45 \times 80 = 3\,600$ ✓
• D) $72 \times 50 = 3\,600$ ✓

All equal 3,600. Correction: The question contains an error. The intended answer should have been a product not equal to 3,600, such as 72 × 40 = 2,880.

For this version, if we must select: D gives $72 \times 50 = 3\,600$. No correct answer exists as stated.

Teaching note: This demonstrates the importance of checking. As a teacher, I would accept any answer where the student shows correct working, or use this to discuss verification.

---

3. C) 18

Method: $144 \div 8$
$144 \div 8 = (80 + 64) \div 8 = 80 \div 8 + 64 \div 8 = 10 + 8 = 18$
Alternative: $8 \times 10 = 80$, $8 \times 8 = 64$, so $8 \times 18 = 144$.

---

4. C) 3

Method: $5\,217 \div 6$
Using long division: 6 goes into 52 eight times (48), remainder 4.
6 goes into 41 six times (36), remainder 5.
6 goes into 57 nine times (54), remainder 3.
Remainder = 3

Verification: $6 \times 869 = 5\,214$, and $5\,217 - 5\,214 = 3$.

---

5. B) 81

Method: To find the missing number: $3\,240 \div 40 = 324 \div 4 = 81$
Check: $81 \times 40 = 81 \times 4 \times 10 = 324 \times 10 = 3\,240$ ✓

---

Section B: Short Answer (2 marks each)

6. 950

Method: $38 \times 25$
Use the fact that $25 = 100 \div 4$:
$38 \times 25 = 38 \times 100 \div 4 = 3\,800 \div 4 = 950$

Marking: Method shown (1 mark), correct answer (1 mark)

---

7. 72

Method: $504 \div 7$
$7 \times 70 = 490$
$504 - 490 = 14$
$7 \times 2 = 14$
So $504 \div 7 = 70 + 2 = 72$

Marking: Working shown (1 mark), correct answer (1 mark)

---

8. 576 students

Method: Total students = $18 \times 32$

11. 2 000

Method: Using distributive property: $125 \times 16 = 125 \times (10 + 6)$
$= 125 \times 10 + 125 \times 6$
$= 1\,250 + 750$
$= 2\,000$

Alternative: $125 \times 16 = 125 \times 8 \times 2 = 1\,000 \times 2 = 2\,000$

Marking: Shows distributive property or equivalent (1 mark), correct answer (1 mark)

$= 200 + 30 + 4$
$= 234$

Marking: Simplification shown (1 mark), correct answer (1 mark)

---

13. 1 080 books

Method: Books per bookshelf = $6 \times 45 = 270$
Total for 4 bookshelves = $270 \times 4$
$= (200 + 70) \times 4$
$= 800 + 280$
$= 1\,080$

Alternative: $6 \times 45 \times 4 = 6 \times 180 = 1\,080$

Marking: Correct first step (1 mark), correct final answer with unit (1 mark)

---

14. 1 260 people

Method: People per session = $7\,560 \div 6$
$6\,000 \div 6 = 1\,000$
$1\,500 \div 6 = 250$
$60 \div 6 = 10$
$1\,000 + 250 + 10 = 1\,260$

Alternative long division: 6 into 75 is 12, remainder 3; 6 into 36 is 6; 6 into 0 is 0. Answer: 1,260.

Marking: Correct division method (1 mark), correct answer with unit (1 mark)

---

15. 58 bags, 0 apples left over

Method: $348 \div 6$
$300 \div 6 = 50$
$48 \div 6 = 8$
$50 + 8 = 58$ remainder 0

Check: $6 \times 58 = 348$. No apples left over.

Marking: Correct number of bags (1 mark), correct remainder (1 mark)

Common mistake: Forgetting to state the remainder, or writing remainder as a decimal.

Section C: Long Answer (4 marks each)

16.

(a) 5 440 m²

Method: Area = length × breadth
$= 85 \times 64$
$= 85 \times (60 + 4)$
$= 85 \times 60 + 85 \times 4$
$= 5\,100 + 340$
$= 5\,440$ m²

Marking: Correct formula (0.5 mark), correct multiplication method (1 mark), correct answer with unit (0.5 mark)

(b) 12 m

Method: First find perimeter of field:
$2 \times (85 + 64) = 2 \times 149 = 298$ m

With 28 trees equally spaced around the perimeter (including corners), there are 28 equal intervals.
Distance between trees = $298 \div 28$...

Wait, let me recalculate: $298 \div 28 = 10.64...$ This is not a whole number.

Let me re-check: With 28 trees and one at each corner, for a rectangle there are trees on two lengths and two breadths. If trees are equally spaced, we need equal spacing on all sides.

Alternative interpretation: 28 trees total around perimeter with one at each corner. For equal spacing, spacing = perimeter ÷ 28 = 298 ÷ 28 ≈ 10.64 m. This seems messy.

Revised cleaner working for assessment: Assuming equal spacing works out neatly: Perimeter = 298 m. With spacing of 12 m: $298 \div 12$ ≈ 24.8, not 28.

Let me use: If spacing is such that 28 intervals fit: $298 \div 28$ is not whole.

Better approach: Let's say the question means 28 trees with equal spacing and we accept the calculation: $298 \div 28 = 10$ remainder 18, or approximately 10.6 m.

For Primary 4, let me use numbers that work: Perimeter = 298, but this doesn't divide evenly by 28.

Teaching adjustment: I'll solve as stated but note this is a remainder problem: $298 \div 28$:
$28 \times 10 = 280$
$298 - 280 = 18$
So $298 = 28 \times 10 + 18$, meaning not perfectly equal.

For a P4-appropriate answer: The distance is approximately 10 m (or more precisely, the problem intends $298 \div 28$ with remainder, suggesting the question numbers need refinement).

Marking (intended): Perimeter correct (1 mark), division set up (0.5 mark), answer with remainder handling or approximation (0.5 mark)

17.

(a) $66

Method: Cost of pens = 12 \times \3 = $36$Cost of notebooks =$6 \times $5 = $30$Total =$$36 + $30 = $66$

Marking: Correct individual costs (1 mark), correct total (1 mark)

(b) $34

Method: Total spent = \66 + (4 \times $8) = $66 + $32 = $98$Amount paid =$5 \times $20 = $100$Change =$$100 - $98 = $2$

Wait, let me recalculate: $100 - 98 = 2$. That seems too small.

Correction: Let me recheck: $66 + 32 = 98$. $100 - 98 = 2$.

Actually the change is $2. This seems small but is correct based on the numbers.

Marking: Correct total spending (1 mark), correct change calculation (1 mark)

---

18.

(a) 2 160 passengers

Method: Total capacity = $48 \times 45$
$48 \times 40 = 1\,920$
$48 \times 5 = 240$
$1\,920 + 240 = 2\,160$

Marking: Correct multiplication set up (1 mark), correct answer with unit (1 mark)

(b) 10 944 passengers

Method: Buses deployed = 36
Trips per bus = 8
Passengers per trip = 38
Passengers per bus = $8 \times 38 = 304$
Total passengers = $36 \times 304$

$36 \times 300 = 10\,800$
$36 \times 4 = 144$
$10\,800 + 144 = 10\,944$

Alternative: $36 \times 8 \times 38 = 288 \times 38$
$288 \times 30 = 8\,640$
$288 \times 8 = 2\,304$
$8\,640 + 2\,304 = 10\,944$

Marking: Correct intermediate step (1 mark), correct final multiplication and answer with unit (1 mark)

19.

Expected visual: L-shape composed of two rectangles. The inner field perimeter requires identifying the inner dimensions.

(a) 224 m (assuming inner field dimensions derived from diagram)

Method: Based on the diagram labels: The inner field has overall dimensions that need to be determined from the L-shape.

From the diagram: The longer horizontal section is 72 m, shorter is 36 m. The vertical heights are 28 m and 16 m.

For the inner field (the rectangular space inside), we need to determine its actual dimensions. The L-shape track surrounds it.

Inner field length = 72 m (the full length)
Inner field breadth = 28 m - something, or using the geometry...

Actually, re-reading: The diagram shows the field shape, and track is 4 m wide around it.

For an L-shaped field with track 4 m wide all around, this becomes complex for P4.

Simplified interpretation: The diagram shows the field dimensions directly. The inner field perimeter uses the inner edges.

Working with inner dimensions (subtracting track width where applicable, or using given inner dimensions):

If inner field has effective length = 72 - 8 = 64 m (4 m each side) and breadth configuration...

This becomes too complex. Teaching note: For P4, the question likely intends simpler rectangular field.

Revised approach assuming standard rectangle: If the field were rectangle 72 m by 28 m: Perimeter = $2 \times (72 + 28) = 2 \times 100 = 200$ m

Or using the L-shape: The inner perimeter follows the L-shape path.

For L-shape perimeter: Sum all outer edges = $72 + 28 + (72-36) + (28-16) + 36 + 16$... this equals going all around.

Actually walking the inner edge: Starting from bottom left, go right 72, up the step, etc.

Standard L-shape perimeter trick: Perimeter of L-shape = perimeter of bounding rectangle = $2 \times (72 + 28) = 200$ m.

(a) 200 m

Method: The inner field, despite L-shape, has perimeter equal to bounding rectangle:
$2 \times (72 + 28) = 200$ m
This works because the "step in" adds equal lengths to what it removes.

Marking: Correct insight or method (1 mark), correct answer with unit (1 mark)

(b) For outer track edge: Each dimension increases by 8 m (4 m each side).

Outer bounding rectangle: $(72 + 8) \times (28 + 8) = 80 \times 36$

But the L-shape track outer perimeter...

Outer L-shape perimeter = $2 \times (80 + 36) = 232$ m?

Actually using same principle: outer perimeter = $2 \times ((72+8) + (28+8)) = 2 \times (80 + 36) = 232$ m.

Perimeter of outer edge = 232 m.
3 laps = $3 \times 232 = 696$ m.

Marking: Correct outer dimensions (0.5 mark), correct outer perimeter (0.5 mark), correct multiplication for 3 laps (1 mark)

---

20. 252... wait, let me recalculate.

Original: number × 24 = 4 824, so number = $4\,824 \div 24$

$4\,824 \div 24$:
$4\,800 \div 24 = 200$
$24 \div 24 = 1$
So number = 201

Then $201 \div 8 = 25$ remainder 1, or $25.125$

For whole number answer: Let me recheck if 4,824 ÷ 24 should give whole.

$24 \times 200 = 4\,800$
$4\,824 - 4\,800 = 24$
$24 \div 24 = 1$
So 201. Correct.

$201 \div 8 = 25$ remainder 1.

Answer: 25 remainder 1, or 25 r 1, or 25.125

Method: First find the number: $4\,824 \div 24 = 201$
Then $201 \div 8 = 25$ remainder 1

Verification: $201 \times 8 = 1\,608$, and $25 \times 8 = 200$, remainder 1.

Marking: Correctly finds the number (2 marks), correct final division (2 marks)
