Worksheet: Multiplicative Comparison

In this worksheet, we will practice using multiplicative comparison sentences to solve word problems by writing an equation and solving it.

Q1:

Find the missing number.

30 is 6 times greater than .

Q2:

The table shows the scores that 4 students earned on a test.

Name Liam Matthew Daniel David
Score 6 14 18 7

Complete the statement: Matthew scored times as many points as David.

Who scored 3 times as many points as Liam?

  • ADaniel
  • BDavid
  • CMatthew

Q3:

A cookbook costs 16 times more than a magazine. The cookbook costs $64.

If you want to know the price of the magazine, which equation will you use?

  • A 6 4 × ? = 1 6
  • B 1 6 × 6 4 = ?
  • C 6 4 − 1 6 = ?
  • D 1 6 × ? = 6 4
  • E 6 4 + 1 6 = ?

Q4:

Elizabeth is 42 years old. Her age is 7 times more than David’s age.

How old is David?

  • A 35 years old
  • B 49 years old
  • C 5 years old
  • D 6 years old
  • E 4 years old

How many years older than David is Elizabeth?

Q5:

Jennifer has 14 coloring pencils. James has 4 times as many coloring pencils as Jennifer.

Which of the following models represents this situation?

  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D
  • E

Q6:

If we put 10 ones in a line, we get a ten.

So, one ten is 10 times as many as 1. We can write this as 1 0 = 1 0 × 1 .

If we put 10 tens together, we get a hundred.

Complete the sentence: One hundred is times as many as 10.

Write an equation that shows this.

  • A 1 0 0 = 1 0 × 1 0
  • B 1 0 0 = 9 0 × 1 0
  • C 1 0 = 1 0 × 1
  • D 2 0 = 1 0 × 1 0
  • E 9 0 = 9 × 1 0

Q7:

This rectangle is 2 times as long as it is wide.

Write a multiplication equation to describe this.

  • A 2 × 4 = 6
  • B 2 × 4 = 8
  • C 4 × 4 = 1 6
  • D 2 × 2 = 4
  • E 4 × 4 = 8

Q8:

Isabella painted 4 models for an art project. Her friend Jennifer painted 12 models. How many times more models did Jennifer paint than Isabella? State the reason.

  • A 16, because 1 2 + 4 = 1 6
  • B 8, because 1 2 − 4 = 8
  • C 48, because 1 2 × 4 = 4 8
  • D 3, because 3 × 4 = 1 2
  • E12, because 3 × 4 = 1 2

Q9:

Select the problem that can be solved by the equation 5 × 1 8 = 9 0 .

  • ANoah is 90 years old. Sophia is 5 times as old as Noah. How old is Sophia?
  • BNoah is 18 years old. Sophia is 5 years older than Noah. How old is Sophia?
  • CNoah is 18 years old. Sophia is 5 times as old as Noah. How old is Sophia?

Q10:

Select the equation that matches the following statement: 56 is 8 times as many as 7.

  • A 7 = 5 6 × 8
  • B 8 = 5 6 × 7
  • C 5 6 = 8 + 7
  • D 5 6 = 8 × 7
  • E 8 = 5 6 + 7

Q11:

Liam and Elizabeth are comparing their marble collections. Liam has 3 times as many marbles as Elizabeth and Elizabeth has 8 marbles.

Which array shows how many marbles Liam has?

  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D
