03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4. | Division undoes multiplication: 3 x 4 = 12, so 12 / 3 = 4. |
| 2 | 6. | Since 5 x 6 = 30, dividing 30 by 5 gives back the other factor, 6. |
| 3 | 56 / 7 = 8 and 56 / 8 = 7. | One multiplication fact gives two division facts; the divisor and quotient are the two factors. |
| 4 | 6. | Use the fact 4 x 6 = 24, so 24 / 4 = 6. |
| 5 | 6 x 7 = 42, which matches the dividend, so it is correct. | Multiply the divisor by the quotient: if the product equals the dividend, the answer is right. |
| 6 | 9. | Divide the product by the known factor: 36 / 4 = 9. |
| 7 | 8. | 40 / 5 = 8, and 8 x 5 = 40 confirms it. |
| 8 | 9. | 36 / 4 = 9, so each bag holds 9. |
| 9 | 9 boxes. | 72 / 8 = 9, checked by 8 x 9 = 72. |
| 10 | Yes. | The product equals the dividend, so the quotient is right; a check always uses multiplication, not addition. |
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.
Check the answers; for a wrong item write divisor x quotient + remainder and see whether it equals the dividend.Tutor Registration →
