Answer Key
Part 1: Number Crunchers
- 47 x 23 = 1,081
- 86 x 51 = 4,386
- 95 x 78 = 7,410
- 135 x 28 = 3,780
- 459 x 62 = 28,458
- 308 x 46 = 14,168
Part 2: Real-World Math
- 118 x 45 = 5,310. The total seating capacity is 5,310 people.
- 52 x 185 = 9,620. The total weight of the crates is 9,620 pounds.
-
Step 1: Find the total number of muffins sold. 124 + 98 = 222 muffins.
Step 2: Multiply the total muffins by the cost. 222 x $3 = $666. The bakery made $666.
Part 3: Brain Bender Challenge
- 2,808 รท 36 = 78. The missing number is 78. (You can solve this using division!)
- 1,250 x 16 = 20,000. The factory can produce 20,000 copies in one day.
