Grade 5 Multiply worksheet
from Gradelings · Name: ______________________
How to explain it
- Break the bigger number into place values.
- Multiply each part, then add the parts together.
- Estimate by rounding to check your answer makes sense.
Example: 23 × 14 = ? 23 × 10 = 230. 23 × 4 = 92. 230 + 92 = 322. Answer: 322
Question 1
A school orders 29 boxes of pencils with 15 pencils in each box. How many pencils is that?
answer boxpencils
435 pencils
Hint: Equal groups mean multiply. Split one factor into place-value parts, multiply each part, then add.
Question 2
Use the area model. What is 65 × 13?
Area model for 65 × 13 × 60 5 10 600 50 3 180 15 answer box
845
Hint: Each box holds a partial product. Add all the partial products inside the model to get the total.
Question 3
Multiply.
76 × 33 = ?
answer box
2508
Hint: Split 76 into place-value parts (70 + 6). Multiply each part by 33, then add the partial products.
Question 4
Multiply using a pattern.
173 × 10 = ?
answer box
1730
Hint: Multiply the non-zero parts first, then write all the zeros from the factors on the end.
Question 5
Round each factor to the nearest ten. What is the estimate for 71 × 74?
- 490
- 5600
- 49 000
- 4900
4900
Hint: Round first, then multiply the friendly numbers: multiply the non-zero digits and attach the zeros.
Question 6
Which product is the greatest?
- 37 × 30
- 28 × 35
- 17 × 26
- 40 × 13
37 × 30
Hint: Estimate each product with friendly numbers. If two estimates are close, work those out exactly.
Question 7
A club buys 26 plants for $25 each and a bag of soil for $10. How many dollars do they spend in all?
answer box
660
Hint: Step 1: multiply to find the cost of all the items. Step 2: add the extra cost.
Question 8
Which has the same product as 35 × 32?
- 37 × 30
- 35 × 16
- 70 × 16
- 70 × 32
70 × 16
Hint: Doubling one factor and halving the other keeps the product the same. Check that only one factor was doubled and the other was halved.
Question 9
A bakery packs 9 muffins in each box. How many muffins are in 83 boxes?
answer boxmuffins
747 muffins
Hint: Equal groups mean multiply. Split one factor into place-value parts, multiply each part, then add.
Question 10
Use the area model. What is 24 × 6?
Area model for 24 × 6 × 20 4 6 120 24 answer box
144
Hint: Each box holds a partial product. Add all the partial products inside the model to get the total.
