Long Division with Multi-Digit Divisors — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. A school orders 12 boxes of 24 markers, then divides them equally among 16 classrooms. How many markers does each classroom get?
A) 16 markers
B) 18 markers
C) 20 markers
D) 24 markers
Grade 5 multi-step problems require multiplication before division here: 288 ÷ 16 = 18.
2. Maria saved $245 in March and $355 in April. She splits the total equally across 15 weeks. How much does she spend per week?
A) $30
B) $35
C) $40
D) $45
Grade 5 students add 245 + 355 = 600 first, then 600 ÷ 15 = 40.
3. A factory makes 18 toys per hour for 45 hours, then ships them in crates of 27. How many crates are needed?
A) 28 crates
B) 30 crates
C) 32 crates
D) 35 crates
Grade 5 calculation: 18 × 45 = 810, and 810 ÷ 27 = 30 crates.
4. A cafeteria has 320 muffins and bakes 160 more, then divides them equally onto 24 trays. About how many muffins per tray?
A) 15 muffins
B) 18 muffins
C) 20 muffins
D) 24 muffins
Grade 5 calculation: 320 + 160 = 480, and 480 ÷ 24 = 20 muffins per tray.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. If 12 boxes hold 24 markers each, the total of 288 markers split among 16 rooms gives 18 per room.
Grade 5 students multiply, then divide, to find the per-group amount.
2. If Maria saves $245 + $355 = $600 and divides it across 15 weeks, she spends $40 per week.
Grade 5 multi-step problems add, then divide, to find a weekly rate.
3. Making 18 toys for 45 hours produces 810 toys; packed in crates of 27, the factory needs 30 crates.
Grade 5 students multiply for the total, then divide for the number of groups.
4. If 320 + 160 = 480 muffins are split onto 24 trays, each tray holds 20 muffins.
Grade 5 students add the totals first, then divide for an even share.
5. Combining division with another operation is called a multi-step problem in Grade 5 math.
Grade 5 standard 5.NBT.6 expects fluency with multi-step problems involving long division.
