Fascinating Fact:

Multiplying the sides of a rectangle gives its area, dividing the area by one side finds the other, a simple rule that builds blueprints and bedrooms.

In 11 Plus Maths, students practise multiplying and dividing numbers to solve real-life problems. These skills connect directly to geometry, ratios, and measurement challenges found in tests.

Key Terms

Area: The space inside a shape, calculated by multiplying its length by its width.
Factor: A number that divides another number exactly, without leaving a remainder.
Quotient: The result obtained after dividing one number by another.

Parents can find helpful advice and resources in our guide to 11 Plus courses and materials.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How are multiplication and area linked in maths?

Multiplication is used to find the area of rectangles and squares by multiplying their length and width, giving the total space inside the shape.

What is the quickest way to check a division problem?

Multiply your answer by the divisor. If the result matches the dividend, your division answer is correct.

Why is division important in the 11 Plus?

Division tests logical thinking and number fluency, helping students manage fractions, ratios, and problem-solving questions in the exam.

What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
32 ÷ ³⁄₄

42²⁄₃

42¹⁄₃

To divide by a fraction, invert (turn upside down) the fraction and multiply. LEARN this technique. So, 32 ÷ ³?₄ = 32 × ⁴?₃ = (32 × 4) ÷ 3 = 128 ÷ 3 = 42.666 or 42²?₃

2 .

What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
18 × 2.4

48.6

36.4

40.5

43.2

Treat decimals just like whole numbers, but remember to correctly place the decimal point. 18 x 2 = 36 and 18 x 3 = 54, so your answer must fall between these two values (i.e. 43.2 rather than 432)

3 .

What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
97 ÷ 9

10.9

10³⁄₄

10.7

10⁷⁄₉

97 ÷ 9 = 10 remainder 7. As we are dealing with ninths, the remainder becomes ⁷?₉

4 .

What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
24 ÷ ⁶⁄₈

To divide by a fraction, invert (turn upside down) the fraction and multiply. LEARN this technique. So, 24 ÷ ⁶?₈ = 24 × ⁸?₆ = (24 × 8) ÷ 6 = 192 ÷ 6 = 32

5 .

What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
19 × ¹⁄₃

6¹⁄₃

6²⁄₃

In general, multiplying by 1 over a number is the same as dividing by that number: in this case, 3:
19 ÷ 3 = 6.333 or 6¹?₃

6 .

What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
10 ÷ ¹⁄₃

3.3

3¹⁄₃

Remember that dividing by 1 over a number is the same as multiplying by that number: in this case, 3:
10 x 3 = 30

7 .

What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
142 x 13

1,846

1,704

1,988

1,820

Looking at the last digit in a number can provide a clue:
2 x 3 = 6 so the answer to 142 x 13 must end with a 6

8 .

What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
1.7 × ¹⁄₁₀

170

1.7

0.17

Remember that multiplying by 1 over a number is the same as dividing that number: in this case, 10:
1.7 ÷ 10 = 0.17

9 .

What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
¹⁄₆ x 120

As you know, multiplying by 1 over a number is the same as dividing by that number: in this case, 6:
120 ÷ 6 = 20

10 .

What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
35 ÷ 2¹⁄₂

87.5

56.7

To make this easier, first convert 2¹?₂ into halves:
35 ÷ 2¹?₂ = 35 ÷ ⁵?₂
Next, invert (turn upside down) the fraction and multiply:
35 ÷ ⁵?₂ = 35 × ²?₅ = (35 × 2) ÷ 5 = 70 ÷ 5 = 14
