Fascinating Fact:

If you multiply your pocket money by four, you could survive an entire month instead of one week, assuming you resist snacks.

In 11 Plus Maths, students learn how multiplication and division work together. These operations are key to solving larger problems involving fractions, ratios, and percentages.

  • Multiple: A number that can be divided by another number without leaving a remainder.
  • Dividend: The number that is being divided in a division problem.
  • Equation: A mathematical statement showing two expressions are equal, often used in multiplication and division problems.
Why do we use multiplication in everyday life?

Multiplication helps us solve problems faster, such as working out prices, measuring ingredients, and calculating totals without repeated addition.

How can I check my answers in division?

You can multiply your answer by the divisor. If the result equals the dividend, your division is correct.

What makes multiplication and division opposite operations?

Multiplication combines equal groups, while division separates a total into equal groups, making them inverse operations of one another.

1 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
18 × 64
8
16
4
2
Multiplying by 1?8 is the same as dividing by 8 ? 64 ÷ 8 = 8. In general, multiplying by 1 over a number is the same as dividing by that number: in this case, 8
2 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
12 ÷ 27
42
3.4
48
56
To divide by a fraction, invert (turn upside down) the fraction and multiply. LEARN this technique. So, 12 ÷ 2?7 = 12 × 7?2 = (12 × 7) ÷ 2 = 84 ÷ 2 = 42
3 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
17 × 25
342
452
425
354
Short cut: 17 × 25 = (17 × 100) ÷ 4 = 1,700 ÷ 4 = 425. Multiply 25 by 4, then divide the product by 4. Be on the LOOKOUT for products that can be simplified: this will enable you to do the calculation in your head
4 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
15 × 25
75
125
13
5
1?5 × 25 = 25 ÷ 5 = 5. In general, multiplying by 1 over a number is the same as dividing by that number: in this case, 5
5 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
10,000 × 25
250,000
25,000
2,500
250
10,000 × 25 = 250,000. To multiply 25 by 1,000, just add three zeros to 25. If there is a decimal point in the number, move the decimal point 3 places to the right and add a zero for each place position if there are no digits in those place positions. You should be able to do this in your head
6 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
49 × 13
610
601
673
637
49 × 13 = (50 × 13) - 13 = 637. Increase 49 by 1 and do the multiplication THEN subtract 13. Be on the LOOKOUT for products that can be simplified: this will enable you to do the calculation in your head
7 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
50 ÷ 2100
1
25,000
25
2,500
50 ÷ 2?100 = 50 ÷ 1?50 = 50 × 50 = 2,500. To divide by a fraction, invert (turn upside down) the fraction and multiply, but DON'T forget to simplify the fraction whenever you can. LEARN this technique
8 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
The number of 19 in 50
5.6
45
9
450
The number of 1?9 in 50 = 50 × 9 = 450. To divide by a fraction, invert (turn upside down) the fraction and multiply: in this case, dividing by one ninth is the same as multiplying by 9. LEARN this technique
9 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
12 ÷ 7 gives a fractional remainder
75
57
712
512
12 ÷ 7 = 1 remainder 5. You are dividing by 7, so the fractional remainder must be 5?7
10 .
What is the correct answer to the given calculation?
18 ÷ 5 gives a fractional remainder
35
53
518
318
18 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 3. You are dividing by 5, so the fractional remainder must be 3?5
