Long Multiplication Practice

A community picnic needs food packed quickly and accurately. Use long multiplication to help plan the supplies. Line up place values, multiply from the ones column, regroup when needed, and check whether your answer makes sense.

Choose a useful method before you calculate.

1.A team packs 24 snack bags in each crate. There are 3 crates. Which expression matches the total, and what is the total number of snack bags?

2.Which estimate is closest to 38 × 6? Choose one and explain briefly: 120, 240, or 300.

Calculate and check

Show your long multiplication working. Use an estimate or a related fact to check.

3.A tray holds 46 mini muffins. How many muffins are on 7 trays?

4.A stall fills 125 reusable cups each morning. How many cups does it fill in 4 mornings?

5.A volunteer calculates 236 × 3 as 608. Find the mistake and write the correct product.
