P3 Two-digit by One-digit: Paper 2 Intermediate

This paper concentrates on carrying: a ones product of ten or more moves into the tens column, and the answer may reach three digits. It adds a per-carton word problem, a missing-factor item and an order check.

03　Answers and one-line notes

#	Answer	One-line note
1	108. The ones give 7 times 4 = 28, so write 8 and carry 2; then 2 times 4 is 8 plus 2 makes 108.	Write the carry above the tens column and remember to add it at the end.
2	108. 6 times 3 is 18, so write 8 and carry 1; 3 times 3 is 9, plus 1 gives 10, so the answer is 108.	The carry sits on the tens column, so add it after multiplying the tens.
3	96. 8 times 2 is 16, so write 6 and carry 1; 4 times 2 is 8, plus 1 makes 9, giving 96.	Once the ones product passes nine, a carry must reach the tens column.
4	212. 3 times 4 is 12, so write 2 and carry 1; 5 times 4 is 20, plus 1 makes 21, so the answer is 212.	The tens product plus the carry can push the answer into three digits.
5	145. 9 times 5 is 45, so write 5 and carry 4; 2 times 5 is 10, plus 4 makes 14, giving 145.	A product involving 5 always ends in 0 or 5, which is a handy check.
6	228. 6 times 3 is 18, so write 8 and carry 1; 7 times 3 is 21, plus 1 makes 22, so the answer is 228.	The answer to a two-digit by one-digit product can have three digits.
7	272 cans. 8 times 4 is 32, so write 2 and carry 3; 6 times 4 is 24, plus 3 makes 27, so the total is 272.	Word problems use exactly the same steps, only the unit is added at the end.
8	24, because 96 divided by 4 is 24; check: 24 times 4 is 96.	Multiplication and division undo each other, so divide to recover the number.
9	They are the same, both 105, because multiplication keeps its value when the order changes.	The commutative rule means only one order needs computing.
10	The carry of 2 was never added: 7 times 4 is 28, 2 times 4 is 8, and 8 plus 2 makes 10. The answer is 108.	A carry that is written down must be added; forgetting it is the usual slip here.

04　What to do after marking

After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
