Answer key for parents & teachers (29 questions)
  1. A garden is 9 m long. A park is 5 times as long. How long is the park?45 m. 5 × 9 = 45 m.
  2. Box A holds 56 books. Box B holds 8 books. Box A holds how many times as many books as Box B?7. 56 ÷ 8 = 7. Box A holds 7 times as many.
  3. A number is 8 times as large as 9. What is the number?72. 8 × 9 = 72.
  4. Zara spent $48. That is 6 times what Ben spent. How much did Ben spend?$8. Ben spent 48 ÷ 6 = $8.
  5. If P = 5 × Q and Q = 7, what is P?35. P = 5 × 7 = 35.
  6. A train travels 240 km. A car travels 60 km. The train travels how many times as far?4 times. 240 ÷ 60 = 4. The train travels 4 times as far.
  7. Which comparison is MULTIPLICATIVE, not additive?18 is 3 times as much as 6. "18 is 3 times as much as 6" uses multiplication: 3 × 6 = 18.
  8. A field is n times as long as a yard. The yard is 9 m. The field is 63 m. What is n?7. n = 63 ÷ 9 = 7.
  9. Holly collected 4 times as many shells as Mark. Together they have 60. How many did Mark collect?12. Mark = m, Holly = 4m. m + 4m = 5m = 60, so m = 12.
  10. Which equation lets you find the multiplier n if A = 36 and B = 9?n = A ÷ B. n = A ÷ B = 36 ÷ 9 = 4.
  11. A recipe needs 3 cups of flour. Another recipe needs 5 times as much. How many cups does the second recipe need?15. 5 × 3 = 15 cups.
  12. Which number is composite?15. 15 = 3 × 5, so it has factors 1, 3, 5, 15 — more than 2 → composite.
  13. What are the factor pairs of 18?1×18, 2×9, 3×6. Factor pairs of 18: 1×18, 2×9, 3×6. (4 and 5 do not divide 18 evenly.)
  14. A number between 20 and 30 has factors 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28. What is the number?28. 28 = 4 × 7. Its factors are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28.
  15. Which statement about prime numbers is TRUE?Prime numbers have exactly 2 factors. Every prime has exactly 2 factors (1 and itself). 2 is an even prime, so not all primes are odd.
  16. Is 51 prime or composite?Composite. 51 = 3 × 17. It has more than 2 factors, so it is composite.
  17. Which two numbers are BOTH prime?11 and 13. 11 and 13 are both prime. 9=3×3, 21=3×7, 25=5×5 are composite.
  18. What is the greatest factor of 36 other than 36 itself?18. 36 ÷ 2 = 18. So 18 is the greatest proper factor of 36.
  19. A number has exactly 3 factors: 1, p, and p². What type of number is p²?Composite. p² has 3 factors (1, p, p²) so it is composite. Examples: 4, 9, 25.
  20. How many prime numbers are between 1 and 20?8. Primes between 1 and 20: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 — that is 8 primes.
  21. Divisibility rule: a number is divisible by 3 if…Its digit sum is divisible by 3. If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, the whole number is divisible by 3. Example: 123 → 1+2+3=6, divisible by 3.
  22. Which rule generates ONLY even numbers starting from 2?Start at 2, add 2. Start at 2 (even), add 2: 2, 4, 6, 8... Every term stays even because even + even = even.
  23. Pattern: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19. What is the 10th term?39. Rule: add 4. Term n = 3 + (n−1)×4. Term 10 = 3 + 9×4 = 3 + 36 = 39.
  24. Which pattern grows FASTER: add 10 each step or multiply by 2 each step?Multiply by 2. Multiplication compounds — it starts slow but eventually overtakes any additive pattern. Multiply by 2 grows faster.
  25. Fill in: 1, 3, 6, 10, ___. (Hint: differences are 2, 3, 4, 5...)15. Differences: +2, +3, +4, +5. So next: 10 + 5 = 15. These are triangular numbers!
  26. The pattern 100, 50, 25, 12.5 uses the rule:Multiply by 0.5 (same as dividing by 2). Each term is half the previous: 100÷2=50, 50÷2=25, etc. Rule: multiply by ½ (divide by 2).
  27. A pattern starts at 7 with rule +6. What are the first 4 terms?7, 13, 19, 25. 7, 7+6=13, 13+6=19, 19+6=25.
  28. Feature of the pattern 5, 10, 15, 20, 25: all terms are ___Multiples of 5. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 are all multiples of 5 — they appear in the "count by 5s" (5× table).
  29. In 6, 12, 24, 48, each term is multiplied by 2. What is the ratio of consecutive terms?2. The ratio is always 12/6 = 24/12 = 48/24 = 2. A constant ratio means it is a geometric/multiplicative pattern.
