Question 1

What is 6 × 7?

Accepted Answer

42

Answer

6 × 7 = 42. You can think of it as 6 groups of 7, or count by 7s six times: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42.

Question 2

Which fraction is equivalent to 2/4?

Accepted Answer

1/2

Answer

2/4 = 1/2 because both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2. Both fractions represent the same amount — half of a whole.

Question 3

What is 36 ÷ 9?

Accepted Answer

4

Answer

36 ÷ 9 = 4 because 9 × 4 = 36. Division is the opposite of multiplication, so knowing your 9s multiplication facts helps.

Question 4

A pizza is cut into 8 equal slices. If Maya eats 3 slices, what fraction of the pizza did she eat?

Accepted Answer

3/8

Answer

Maya ate 3 out of 8 equal slices, so the fraction is 3/8. The number of slices eaten goes on top (numerator) and the total slices go on the bottom (denominator).

Question 5

Which of the following shows 5 × 3 using repeated addition?

Accepted Answer

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3

Answer

5 × 3 means 5 groups of 3, which equals 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15. Repeated addition adds the same number as many times as the first factor indicates.
