Lesson 2: Multiplicative Comparison — Practice Questions

1. 1. Leo has 5 times as many toy cars as Maria. Maria has 6 cars. If `c` is the number of cars Leo has, which equation represents this situation?

   • A. $`c = 5 \times 6`$
   • B. $`6 = 5 \times c`$
   • C. $`5 = c \times 6`$
   • D. `c = 5 + 6`

2. 2. A flagpole is 35 feet tall, and a bench is 5 feet tall. The flagpole is `n` times as tall as the bench. Complete the equation to find `n`: $35 = n \times \_\_\_$.

3. 3. A jacket costs 72 dollars, which is 8 times the cost of a hat. If `h` is the cost of the hat, write an equation to find `h`: $\_\_\_ = 8 \times h$.

4. 4. A bus traveled 90 miles, which was 3 times as far as a car traveled. If `d` is the distance the car traveled, which value is the 'Smaller Quantity' in the equation $90 = 3 \times d$?

   • A. `d`
   • B. `90`
   • C. `3`
   • D. $`90 \times 3`$

5. 5. A river is 60 miles long. This is 10 times the length of a creek. If `c` is the length of the creek, the equation is $60 = \_\_\_ \times c$.

6. 6. Which type of comparison is shown in the statement: "15 is 10 more than 5"?

   • A. Additive comparison
   • B. Multiplicative comparison

7. 7. A number is 4 times as many as 8. What is the number? The answer is ___.

8. 8. What number is 7 more than 9? The answer is ___.

9. 9. Which equation correctly represents the statement "21 is 3 times as many as 7"?

   • A. $7 + 3 = 21$
   • B. $7 \times 3 = 21$
   • C. $21 - 7 = 3$
   • D. $21 + 3 = 7$

10. 10. Which statement describes a multiplicative comparison?

    • A. Leo has 5 more toy cars than Sam.
    • B. The tree is 10 feet taller than the bush.
    • C. Maria read 3 times as many books as John.
    • D. The desk is 2 feet shorter than the door.
