Write Multiplication and Division Equations

Front

What is a multiplication equation?

Back

A multiplication equation is a mathematical statement that shows the relationship between two numbers being multiplied together, typically in the form of 'a × b = c', where 'a' and 'b' are the factors and 'c' is the product.

Front

What is a division equation?

Back

A division equation is a mathematical statement that shows the relationship between a number being divided by another number, typically in the form of 'a ÷ b = c', where 'a' is the dividend, 'b' is the divisor, and 'c' is the quotient.

How do you represent a situation where a total is divided evenly among a number of groups?

Back

You can represent this situation with a division equation, such as 'total ÷ number of groups = amount per group'.

Front

What does the equation '5h = 35' represent?

Back

This equation represents that 5 times the number of hours worked each day (h) equals a total of 35 hours worked in 5 days.

Front

How do you find the value of 'h' in the equation '5h = 35'?

Back

To find 'h', divide both sides of the equation by 5: h = 35 ÷ 5, which gives h = 7.

Front

What does the equation '3c = 63' represent?

Back

This equation represents that Tara caught 3 times the number of fish that Cole caught (c), and the total number of fish Tara caught is 63.

Front

How do you find the value of 'c' in the equation '3c = 63'?

Back

To find 'c', divide both sides of the equation by 3: c = 63 ÷ 3, which gives c = 21.

Front

If Becky splits a jar of lollipops evenly among 6 goody bags and each bag has 4 lollipops, how can this be represented?

Back

This can be represented by the equation '6 × 4 = total lollipops', which means there are 24 lollipops in total.

Front

How do you calculate the cost per bag if Jasmine spent $24 on 16 bags of Takis?

Back

You can calculate the cost per bag using the equation 'total cost ÷ number of bags = cost per bag', so $24 ÷ 16 = $1.50 per bag.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations; if a × b = c, then c ÷ b = a and c ÷ a = b.
