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?

4. A bag contains 289 apples. How many apples A will 72 such bags have?

Solution: 1 bag contains = 289 apples

72 bags contain = 289 ×  72 apples

                          2 8 9

                         × 7 2   

                          5 7 8

                +   2 0 2 3 0     

                    2 0 8 0 8  

Hence, 72 bags will contain 20,808 apples.

5. A car travels a distance of 345 km every day.  What distance will it travel in a year?

Distance travelled by the car in one day = 345 km

There are 365 days in a year.

Distance travelled by the car in 365 days = 345 km × 365

                       3 4 5                       × 3 6 5

                    1 7 2 5

                 2 0 7 0 0

          +  1 0 3 5 0 0

               1 2 5 9 2 5

Hence, the car will travel  1,25,925 km in a year.

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

Solving Two-Step Multiplication Word Problems

Two-step word problems can be difficult to solve as the student needs to work out what should be solved first and then determining and solving both steps. Most two-step word problems that involve multiplication have a multiplication step and an addition or subtraction step.

The easiest way to solve these problems is visually with bar charts to aid the student.

Let’s start with an example that involved a multiplication step and a subtraction step.

In this example, the multiplication step comes first and the subtraction step second.

A girl has 7 lollipops and she has 5 times as many candies. How many more candies than lollipops does she have?

You’ll have to start by working out how many candies she has. She has 5 x 7 as many candies. Here’s what that looks like in a bar diagram:

Now we can see how many more candies she has than lollipops. It’s this part:

She has 35 candies and 7 lollipops. So she has 35 – 7 = 28 more candies than lollipops.

Here’s an example of multiplication as a first step and addition as a second step.

There are 9 red apples. There are three times as many green apples. How many apples are there altogether?

So we know we have 9 red apples and that there are 3 times as many green apples. Here’s how that looks in a bar chart:

9 x 3 = 27, so there are 27 green apples. So in total we have 27 + 9 apples, which comes to 36 apples altogether.
