Question 1
What is 4 × 30?
Correct answer: A
4 × 3 = 12, so 4 × 30 is 12 tens, which is 120. 1,200 adds one zero too many.
-
Question 2
What is 7 × 50?
Correct answer: D
7 × 5 = 35, and 35 tens equal 350. The answer 35 forgets that 50 is 5 tens, not 5 ones.
-
Question 3
Which expression has the same value as 6 × 40?
Correct answer: D
40 is the same as 4 × 10, so 6 × 40 = 6 × 4 × 10 = 240. 6 × 4 + 10 adds the 10 instead of multiplying by it, which gives only 34.

Question 4
What number goes in the box?
☐ × 80 = 640
Correct answer: A
8 × 8 = 64, so 8 × 80 = 64 tens = 640. 9 does not work because 9 × 80 = 720.
-
Question 5
A store has 9 boxes of glue sticks. Each box holds 20 glue sticks. How many glue sticks does the store have?
Correct answer: B
9 × 2 = 18, so 9 × 20 = 18 tens = 180 glue sticks. 29 comes from adding 9 + 20 instead of multiplying.
-
Question 6
What is 5 × 60?
Correct answer: C
5 × 6 = 30, and 30 tens is 300. The fact 5 × 6 already ends in 0, so the product has two zeros. 3,000 has one zero too many.
-
Question 7
Which product is greater than 400?
Correct answer: C
6 × 70 = 420, which is greater than 400. 8 × 50 equals exactly 400, so it is not greater; 9 × 40 = 360 and 7 × 50 = 350.
-
Question 8
A parking lot has 8 rows. Each row has 30 parking spaces. How many parking spaces are there in all?
Correct answer: B
8 rows of 30 is 8 × 30. Since 8 × 3 = 24, the product is 24 tens = 240. 210 is 7 × 30, one row short.
-
Question 9
Owen knows that 4 × 60 is the same as 24 tens. What is 24 tens?
Correct answer: A
24 tens means 24 groups of 10, which is 240. So 4 × 60 = 240. 2,400 would be 24 hundreds.
-
Question 10
What number goes in the box?
3 × ☐ = 270
Correct answer: D
3 × 9 = 27, so 3 × 90 = 27 tens = 270. 3 × 9 is only 27 and 3 × 80 is 240.
