Multiplication Facts 0-10 — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. A store sold 4 boxes of 6 donuts and 3 boxes of 5 muffins. How many items in all?
A) 35
B) 39
C) 44
D) 30
First find each amount: 4 boxes of 6 donuts is 4 × 6 = 24, and 3 boxes of 5 muffins is 3 × 5 = 15. Adding the two groups together gives 24 + 15 = 39 items in all.
2. Maya has 8 groups of 3 stickers and gives away 7 groups of 2. How many does she keep?
A) 10
B) 12
C) 8
D) 14
Maya starts with 8 × 3 = 24 stickers, then gives away 7 × 2 = 14 stickers. Subtracting what she gave away leaves 24 − 14 = 10 stickers.
3. A farmer plants 9 rows of 5 seeds. Does he plant more than 40 seeds?
A) No, he plants 36
B) Yes, he plants 45
C) No, he plants 40
D) Yes, he plants 50
9 rows of 5 seeds is 9 × 5 = 45 seeds, and 45 is greater than 40, so the farmer does plant more than 40 seeds.
4. Each shelf has 6 rows of 4 books. There are 3 shelves. How many books total?
A) 48
B) 60
C) 72
D) 84
Each shelf holds 6 × 4 = 24 books, and there are 3 shelves, so the total is 24 × 3 = 72 books.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A class has 5 tables with 4 students at each. Total students: 20.
Five tables with four students at each table is 5 × 4 = 20 students. Multiplication lets you skip-count by 4 five times: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20.
2. Sam buys 3 packs of 8 cards and 2 packs of 6 cards. Total cards: 36.
Sam's two purchases give 3 × 8 = 24 cards from the first packs and 2 × 6 = 12 cards from the second packs. Together that is 24 + 12 = 36 cards.
3. A baker makes 7 trays of 9 cookies. Total cookies: 63.
Seven trays with nine cookies on each is 7 × 9 = 63 cookies, since 7 × 9 is one less group of 7 than 7 × 10 (70 − 7 = 63).
4. There are 10 rows and 10 seats per row. Total seats: 100.
An array of 10 rows by 10 seats per row is 10 × 10 = 100 seats. Multiplying by ten just adds a zero to the other factor.
5. Ella picks 6 baskets of 5 apples, then eats 2. She has 28 left.
Ella picks 6 × 5 = 30 apples from her baskets, then eats 2, leaving 30 − 2 = 28 apples.
