A set of grade 4 Maths multiple choice questions and problems on multiplication are presented along with step-by-step solutions and explanations.
Problem: Write \(5 \times 6\) as a repeated sum.
Explanation: Multiplication represents repeated addition. \(5 \times 6\) means adding the number 6 five times: \(6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6\).
Therefore, the correct option is D.
Problem: \(123,686 \times 0\)
Explanation: Any number multiplied by 0 equals 0.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Problem: \(23 \times 15\)
Explanation: Compute using standard multiplication: \(23 \times 5 = 115\) and \(23 \times 10 = 230\). Adding them together gives \(115 + 230 = 345\).
Therefore, the correct option is A.
Problem: \(789 \times 17\)
Explanation: Calculate \(789 \times 7 = 5,523\) and \(789 \times 10 = 7,890\). Adding them together: \(5,523 + 7,890 = 13,413\).
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Problem: \(5 \times 6 \times 3\)
Explanation: Multiply sequentially: \(5 \times 6 = 30\), then \(30 \times 3 = 90\).
Therefore, the correct option is D.
Problem: \(124 \times 100\)
Explanation: Multiplying a whole number by 100 appends two zeros to the end of the number, resulting in \(12,400\).
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Problem: \(145 \times 1\)
Explanation: Any number multiplied by 1 remains equal to itself.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Problem: Total pencils in 61 boxes with 14 pencils each.
Explanation: Multiply the number of boxes by pencils per box: \(61 \times 14 = 854\).
Therefore, the correct option is A.
Problem: Seconds in a day given 24 hours/day and 3,600 seconds/hour.
Explanation: Multiply hours per day by seconds per hour: \(24 \times 3600 = 86,400\).
Therefore, the correct option is D.
Problem: Expression for total pages read.
Explanation: Pages read in the first 15 days is \(15 \times 16\), and pages read in the last 5 days is \(5 \times 18\). Adding both gives \(15 \times 16 + 5 \times 18\).
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Problem: Solve for \(n\) in \(9 \times n = 108\)
Explanation: Divide 108 by 9: \(n = 108 \div 9 = 12\).
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Problem: Solve for \(S\) in \(6 \times 4 = 3 \times S\)
Explanation: Evaluate the left side: \(6 \times 4 = 24\). Then \(3 \times S = 24\), so \(S = 24 \div 3 = 8\).
Therefore, the correct option is A.
