Very Short Answer Questions

Q1. What is 8 x 4 using the doubling method (8 x 2 x 2)?
Ans: 8 x 2 = 16, 16 x 2 = 32.

Q2. Split 23 x 5 using place value: what is (20 x 5) + (3 x 5)?
Ans: 100 + 15 = 115.

Q3. What is 7 x 6?
Ans: 42.

Short Answer Questions

Q4. A museum has 6 rows of toy trains with 12 trains in each row. How many toy trains are there in total? (Hint: split 12 as 10 + 2.)
Ans: (6 x 10) + (6 x 2) = 60 + 12 = 72 toy trains.

Q5. If a bus ticket costs Rs 15 and 9 tickets are bought, what is the total cost, using doubling or splitting?
Ans: 15 x 9 = (15 x 10) − 15 = 150 − 15 = 135, so the total cost is Rs 135.

Higher-Order Thinking Question

Q6. Explain how splitting a number helps multiply faster, using 24 x 6 as an example.
Ans: Splitting 24 into 20 + 4 makes multiplication easier: (20 x 6) + (4 x 6) = 120 + 24 = 144, breaking a harder multiplication into two simpler ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

If a transport museum has 12 cars, 8 buses and 5 trains on display, how would you find the total number of vehicles?
Add all three numbers together: 12+8+5 = 25 vehicles in total.

How would you represent the number of each vehicle type using a simple bar graph?
Draw bars of different heights for cars, buses and trains, where the height of each bar matches its count, making it easy to compare the numbers visually.
