3 × 90 = 270

Find the missing factor.
Question 7.
8 × ____ = 320
Answer: 40

Explanation:
Let the missing factor be x.
8 × x = 320
x = 320/8
x = 40
Thus the missing factor is 40.

Question 8.
____ × 50 = 300
Answer: 6

Explanation:
Let the missing factor be y.
y × 50 = 300
y = 300/50
y = 6
Thus the missing factor is 6.

Question 9.

Question 10.
Number Sense
Use the Associative Property of Multiplication to show why
4 × 20 = 8 × 10.
Answer:
You have to find the product by using the Associative Property of Multiplication.
4 × 20 = 8 × 10
4 × (2 × 10) = 8 × 10
8 × 10 = 8 × 10
By this we can say that 4 × 20 = 8 × 10.

Question 12.
Number Sense
Which equations show the Distributive Property?
2 × 20 = (2 × 10) + (2 × 10)
4 × (3 × 10) = (4 × 3) × 10
(7 × 10) + (7 × 10) = 7 × 20
Answer:
2 × 20 = (2 × 10) + (2 × 10) is the distributive property.
4 × (3 × 10) = (4 × 3) × 10 shows the associative property.

5 × p – 15 = 5
p – 15 = 5/5
p – 15 = 1
p = 1 + 15
p = 16
Thus the value of the number is 16.

Question 5.
Number Sense
Which equations are true?
Big Ideas Math Answer Key Grade 3 Chapter 9 Multiples and Problem Solving 9.5 7
Answer:
3 + 5 × 2 = 13
Solve from left to right.

Multiples and Problem Solving Performance Task

Question 1.
a. You read 120 minutes from Monday through Thursday this week. How many minutes do you read on Thursday? Complete the picture graph for Thursday.
Big Ideas Math Answers 3rd Grade Chapter 9 Multiples and Problem Solving 1

Answer:
Given,
You read 120 minutes from Monday through Thursday this week.
Each star = 10 minutes
There are 9 stars
9 × 10 = 90 minutes
120 – 90 = 30 minutes
Thus you read 30 minutes on Thursday.

b. Last week you read 30 minutes each day for 5 days. Your goal this week is to read the same number of minutes as last week. How many minutes do you need to read on Friday to reach your goal? Complete the picture graph for Friday.
Answer:
Given,
Last week you read 30 minutes each day for 5 days. Your goal this week is to read the same number of minutes as last week.
30 × 5 = 150 minutes
150 – 120 = 30 minutes
Thus to reach your goal you need to read 30 minutes on Friday.

Question 2.
Write equations to solve. Use letters to represent the unknown numbers. Check whether your answer is reasonable.
a. There are 60 minutes in one hour. Your friend reads 2 hours and 38 minutes during the week. How many minutes does your friend read in all?

Answer:
Given,
There are 60 minutes in one hour. Your friend reads 2 hours and 38 minutes during the week.
1 hour – 60 min
2 hour – 2 × 60 = 120 min
120 + 38 = 158 min
Thus your friend read 158 minutes in all.

b.Your cousin earns 2 stars on her graph each day for 5 days. How many minutes does your cousin read in all?
Answer:
Given,
Your cousin earns 2 stars on her graph each day for 5 days.
2 × 5 = 10 stars
1 star = 10 min
10 stars = 10 × 10 min = 100 min
Thus your cousin read 100 min in all.

Question 3.
Use the information above. Order the numbers of minutes you, your friend, and your cousin read from least to greatest. The person with the least number of minutes wants to read the same amount as the person with the greatest number of minutes. How many more minutes does the person need to read?

Answer:
Given that,
you read 150 minutes in all.
your friend read 158 minutes in all
your cousin read 100 min in all.
The order from least to greatest is 100, 150, 158.
