Word problems on multiplication for fourth grade students are solved here step by step.
Problem Sums Involving Multiplication:
1. 24 folders each has 56 sheets of paper inside them. How many sheets of paper are there altogether?
Solution:
We can add 56 sheets 24 times
OR
Since multiplication is repeated addition we can multiply 56 and 24 to get the answer.
[Sometime, more than one calculation is required.]
Therefore, altogether there are 1344 sheets.
2. A carton holds 24 packets of biscuits. Each packet has 12 biscuits. How many biscuits can be packed in 45 cartons?
In one carton we can pack 24 × 12 biscuits.
In 45 cartons, we can pack 24 × 12 × 45 biscuits.
24 × 12 = 288
|
|
→ 40 + 5 Multiply by 5 Multiply by 40 |
Therefore, altogether there are 12,960 biscuits.
3. There are 226 pencils in a packet. How many pencils are there in 212 such packets?
|
Number of pencils in 1 packet = 226 Number of packets = 212 Total number of pencils = 226 × 212 = 47912 |
|
Consider the following Examples on Word Problems Involving Multiplication:
1. A book costs $ 67. How much will be paid for 102 such books?
Solution:
The cost of one book = $ 6 7 6 7
Number of books = 1 0 2
× 1 0 2
The cost of 102 books = $ 67 × 102 1 3 4
= $ 6834
+ 6 7 0 0
6 8 3 4
Therefore, cost of 102 books = $ 6834
2. A bicycle costs $ 215. How much will be paid for 87 such bicycles?
Solution:
The cost of one bicycle = $ 2 1 5 2 1 5
Number of bicycle = 8 7
× 8 7
The cost of 87 bicycles = $ 2 1 5 × 8 7 1 5 0 5
= $ 6834
+ 1 7 2 0 0
1 8 7 0 5
Therefore, cost of 87 bicycles = $ 18705
3. The monthly salary of a man is $ 2,625. What is his annual income by salary?
Solution:
Monthly income = $2,625 2 6 2 5
Annual income = $2,625 × 12
× 1 2
= $31,500 5 2 5 0
+ 2 6 2 5 0 3 1 5 0 0
Therefore, annual income = $ 31,500
4. A chair costs $ 452 and a table costs $ 1750. What will be cost of 15 chairs and 30 tables?
Solution:
(i) Cost of one chair = $ 452
Cost of 15 chairs = $ 452 × 15
= $ 6,780
(ii) Cost of one table = $ 1,750
Cost of 30 tables = $ 1,750 × 30
= $ 52,500
Therefore, cost of 15 chairs and 30 tables = $ 6,780 + $ 52,500

Multiplication word problems arise in situations where we do repeated addition of the same number. Think of multiplication as a shortcut for adding the same number multiple times.
You may need to study or review multiplication of whole numbers before proceeding with this lesson.
Consider now the following word problems:
Interesting multiplication word problems
Problem #1:
An apartment has 4 bedrooms. Each bedroom has 3 bookcases. How many bookcases are there in the apartment?
Solution
Using addition, you can argue that there are 12 bookcases in the apartment since 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12
However, the problem can also be solved a lot faster by doing a multiplication of 3 and 4 since 3 × 4 = 12
Multiplication always gives the same answer faster than repeated addition.
Problem #2:
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. How many minutes are there in 12 hours?
Solution
Once again, you can use addition to solve this problem, but you will waste your time since you have to do repeated addition of 60 twelve times.
60+60+60+60+60+60+60+60+60+60+60+60 = 720
However, 60 × 12 = 720 gives you the same answer faster.
A detailed explanation on how to do the multiplication is shown below:
6 0
× 1 2
______
1 2 0
+ 6 0 0
_______
7 2 0
Problem #3:
Mr. John’s new hybrid car gets him 50 miles per gallons. If Mr. John gets a full tank with 14 gallons of gas, How far can Mr. John go?
Solution
Number of miles = 50 × 14 = 700 miles.
A detailed explanation on how to do the multiplication is shown below:
5 0
× 1 4
______
2 0 0
+ 5 0 0
_______
7 0 0
Problem #4:
Sylvia’s income from a full time job is 500 dollars per week. How much does Sylvia makes every year?
1 year = 52 weeks.
Thus, 500 × 52 = 26,000 dollars
A detailed explanation on how to do the multiplication is shown below:
5 0 0
× 5 2
_______
1 0 0 0
2 5 0 0 0
_________
2 6 0 0 0
Problem #5:
An investment of 1 million dollars yields 30000 every year. How much will the investment earn after 18 years?
After 18 years, the investment will earn 30000 × 18 = 540000 dollars.
