1 .

Using the tip, what is the correct answer to the given calculation?
TIP: To multiply a number by another number which is a multiple of 10 and whose only non zero digit is the leading digit 1: move the decimal point (d.p.) to the right by the same number of zeros that are in the multiple of 10. Note: whole numbers that do not have decimal parts are written without a d.p. e.g. 200.0 = 200: in such cases the d.p. is not normally needed.
34.56 × 100 = ?

345.6

3,456

34,560

0.3456

34.56 × 100 = 3,456

2 .

Using the tip, what is the correct answer to the given calculation?
TIP: To divide a number by 5: first multiply by 2 and then move the decimal point (d.p.) to the left.
888 ÷ 5 = ?

17,760

17.76

1,776

177.6

888 ÷ 5 = (888 × 2) = 1,776. Move the d.p. 1 place to the left gives 177.6

3 .

Using the tip, what is the correct answer to the given calculation?
TIP: To divide a number by 25: divide by 100, then multiply by 4.
225 ÷ 25 = ?

225 ÷ 25 = (225 ÷ 100) × 4 = 2.25 × 4 = 9

4 .

Using the tip, what is the correct answer to the given calculation?
TIP: To multiply a number by 25: multiply by 100, then divide by 4.
816 × 25 = ?

24,000

20,040

20,400

20,004

816 × 25 = (816 × 100) × 4 = 81,600 ÷ 4 = 20,400

5 .

Using the tip, what is the correct answer to the given calculation?
TIP: To divide a number by another number which is a multiple of 10 and whose only non zero digit is the leading digit 1: move the decimal point (d.p.) to the left by the same number of zeros that are in the multiple of 10. Note: whole numbers that do not have decimal parts are written without a d.p. e.g. 200.0 = 200: in such cases the d.p. is not normally needed.
76,345 ÷ 1,000 = ?

76.345

763.45

7,634.5

0.76345

76,345 = 76,345.0 so 76,345.0 ÷ 1,000 = 76.345: you have to put in the zero to show that there is no whole number part

6 .

Using the tip, what is the correct answer to the given calculation?
TIP: To multiply a number by 8: multiply the number by 2, then by 2 again, and finally by 2.
120 × 8 = ?

609

906

960

690

120 × 2 = 240; 240 × 2 = 480; 480 × 2 = 960

7 .

Using the tip, what is the correct answer to the given calculation?
TIP: To multiply a number by 5: first divide by 2, then move the decimal point (d.p.) to the right. Note: whole numbers that do not have decimal parts are written without a d.p. e.g. 200.0 = 200: in such cases the d.p. is not normally needed.
3,434 × 5 = ?

17,107

17,017

17,710

17,170

3,434 × 5 = (3,434 ÷ 2) = 1,717. Move the d.p. 1 place to the right gives 17,170. TIP: All odd numbers multiplied by 5 end in 5, and all even numbers multiplied by 5 end in 0

8 .

Using the tip, what is the correct answer to the given calculation?
TIP: To multiply a number by 11, first multiply the number by 10, then add the original number to it.
96 × 11 = ?

1,605

1,056

1,560

1,065

96 × 11 = (96 × 10) + 96 = 1,056

9 .

Using the tip, what is the correct answer to the given calculation?
TIP: To multiply a number by 12, first multiply the number by 10, then add twice the original number to it.
38 × 12 = ?

456

465

645

546

38 × 12 = (38 × 10) + (2 × 38) = 380 + 76 = 456

10 .

Using the tip, what is the correct answer to the given calculation?
TIP: To multiply a number by 9: first multiply the number by 10, then subtract the original number from it.
47 × 9 = ?

432

423

342

324

47 × 9 = (47 × 10) - 47 = 423
