Word Problems on Multiplication
Word problems on multiplication for fourth grade students are solved here step by step.
Problem Sums Involving Multiplication: 1. 24 folders each has 56 sheets of paper inside them. How many sheets of paper are there altogether?
We can add 56 sheets 24 times
Since multiplication is repeated addition we can multiply 56 and 24 to get the answer.
[Sometime, more than one calculation is required.] Therefore, altogether there are 1344 sheets.
2. A carton holds 24 packets of biscuits. Each packet has 12 biscuits. How many biscuits can be packed in 45 cartons?
In one carton we can pack 24 × 12 biscuits.
In 45 cartons, we can pack 24 × 12 × 45 biscuits.
24 × 12 = 288
Therefore, altogether there are 12,960 biscuits.
3. There are 226 pencils in a packet. How many pencils are there in 212 such packets?
Consider the following Examples on Word Problems Involving Multiplication:
1. A book costs $ 67. How much will be paid for 102 such books? Solution:
The cost of one book = $ 6 7 6 7 Number of books = 1 0 2 × 1 0 2 The cost of 102 books = $ 67 × 102 1 3 4 = $ 6834 + 6 7 0 0 6 8 3 4
Therefore, cost of 102 books = $ 6834
2. A bicycle costs $ 215. How much will be paid for 87 such bicycles?
Solution:
The cost of one bicycle = $ 2 1 5 2 1 5 Number of bicycle = 8 7 × 8 7 The cost of 87 bicycles = $ 2 1 5 × 8 7 1 5 0 5 = $ 6834 + 1 7 2 0 0 1 8 7 0 5 Therefore, cost of 87 bicycles = $ 18705
3. The monthly salary of a man is $ 2,625. What is his annual income by salary?
Monthly income = $2,625 2 6 2 5 Annual income = $2,625 × 12 × 1 2 = $31,500 5 2 5 0 + 2 6 2 5 0 3 1 5 0 0
Therefore, annual income = $ 31,500
4. A chair costs $ 452 and a table costs $ 1750. What will be cost of 15 chairs and 30 tables?
(i) Cost of one chair = $ 452 Cost of 15 chairs = $ 452 × 15 = $ 6,780 (ii) Cost of one table = $ 1,750 Cost of 30 tables = $ 1,750 × 30 = $ 52,500 Therefore, cost of 15 chairs and 30 tables = $ 6,780 + $ 52,500

Mixed Multiplication and Division Word Problems 2

Practicing the operations seperately is a good start for each operation, but an important word problem skill is also figuring out which math operation is needed to solve a specific question. The worksheets in this section combine both multiplication word problems and division word problems on the same worksheet, so students not only need to solve the problem but they need to figure out how to do it.
By moving into these worksheets quickly, it avoids the crutch where students learn that they always need to add or always need to subtract the two values in a problem to get the answer. This forces students to really understand the intent of the problem, not just scan the text looking for numbers.

Multiplication and Division Word Problems
- Updated on
- Nov 24, 2022

Multiplication and Division are a part of the primary school Mathematics curriculum. These are universal mathematical operations that lay down the foundation for the Quantitative Aptitude of an individual. They are the fundamentals of nearly all mathematical concepts, ingrained into basic Arithmetic , Geometry , Algebra , and Calculus. Thus it is essential for all the students to ace the Multiplication and Division word problems. Let’s understand more about multiplication and division word problems in this blog!
This Blog Includes:
What are multiplication and division word problems, multiplication word problems, division word problems.
- Practice Problems
Multiplication and Division word problems are comprehensive mathematical questions designed to help students learn these skills by giving them real-life scenarios. These word problems help young children to relate to the problems on a personal level, activating their cognition in a better way. However, some of them may face a slight difficulty in understanding these questions. So, let’s try and understand how to progress with such questions.
Try solving these word problems using the BODMAS concept. To know more about it, read our blog on BODMAS questions !
Multiplication word problems generally include keywords like calculating the “total” number of objects, goods or production. Here are some examples of multiplication word problems:
Q1: There are 4 rows of seats in a class. Each row has 12 benches. How many students can sit in the class?
Ans: In such questions, we take the following steps:
Note the number of benches in one row= 12 No. of rows = 4 Multiply the number with the number of rows = 12×4
Total number of seats available for students= 48
Therefore, 48 students can sit in the class!
Q2: A bottle factory produces 684 bottles a day. How many bottles will the factory produce in 46 days?
Ans: Number of tyres a tyre factory produces in one day = 684 Number of days = 46
Total number of bottles produced = 684 x 46 = 31464
Therefore, the company will produce 31464 bottles in 46 days .
Q3: A carton holds 20 packets of biscuits. Each packet has 12 biscuits. How many biscuits can be packed in 45 cartons?
Number of packets in 1 carton= 20
Number of biscuits in 1 packet= 12
Number of biscuits in 1 carton or 20 packets= 12 × 20= 240
Number of biscuits in 45 cartons= 240 × 45= 10800
Therefore, altogether there are 10,800 biscuits.
Q4: The monthly salary of a man is Rs. 2,500. What is his annual income by salary?
Number of months in a year= 12
Salary of 1 month= Rs 2,500
Annual salary= salary of 12 months= 2,500 × 12= Rs. 30,000
Therefore, annual income = Rs 30,000
Division word problems on the other hand, generally are the harder ones among Multiplication and Division word problems. They have questions that deal with segregating/putting/sorting objects into different sections. Here are some examples to help you understand better:
Q1: There are 140 peanuts in a bowl. A worker has to put them equally in 4 packets. How many peanuts will be there in one packet? Ans:
For division word problems, we always start with identifying the dividend and the divisor.
The total number of peanuts will be taken as a dividend. This is because we have to sort them into smaller groups i.e. divide the total number of peanuts
The number of packets will be the divisor because we have to divide the peanuts in the number of packets we have.
Total number of peanuts, i.e. dividend= 140 No. of packets, i.e. divisor = 4 No. of packets = 140 / 4 After division, the quotient comes out to be 35.
Therefore, the total number of peanuts in a packet will be 35.
Q2: A school has 2412 students in total. They put only 36 students in one class. How many classes are there in total?
Ans: For this question also, we will first identify the dividend and the divisor.
For beginner division questions, dividend can be identified by scanning the question for the largest number. Here, the total number of students is the largest number. Additionally, putting students into classes requires dividing the total number of students. Hence, the total number of students will be the dividend, i.e. 2412
The number of students to be put in one class will be the divisor in this question as it is the number of students that are to be put in a class. So, we have to make groups of 36 students from 2412 students. Then, we perform basic division operation
After performing division, we get the quotient as 67. The remainder is 0. Therefore, we will make 67 classes to accommodate all the students in the school. If the remainder was not zero, we would have to make one more class to accommodate the extra students.
Hence, the total number of classes will be 67.
Q3. Rs. 5,500 are distributed equally among 25 men. How much money will each person get?
Money received by 35 men= Rs 5,500
So, money received by 1 man= Rs 5500 ÷ 25= Rs. 220
Hence, each man will get Rs. 220.
Q4. How many hours are there in 1500 minutes?
Number of minutes in 1 hr. = 60 minutes
This means that 60 minutes= 1 hour
By Unitary Method,
1 minute= 1/60 hour
Hence, 1500 minutes= 1 ÷ 60 × 1500
1500 ÷ 60= 25 hours
So there are 25 hours in 1500 minutes.
Practice Problems
The illustrations must have helped you understand how to solve multiplication and division word problems. Here are some questions based on the same concept for you to practice. The questions are mixed, so that you also work on identifying whether a question requires you to multiply or divide.
Q1: Alex has 150 tickets for a concert. He has to put them in 10 boxes. How many tickets will be there in a single box?

Number of months in a year= 12 Salary of 1 month= Rs 2,500 Annual salary= salary of 12 months= 2,500 × 12= Rs. 30,000 Therefore, annual income = Rs 30,000
