FAST Practice Quiz Answers
1
B. 4 × 6 = 24
The array shows 4 rows with 6 dots in each row. This represents 4 × 6 = 24.
2
B. 7 stickers
56 stickers ÷ 8 students = 7 stickers each. This is a "sharing equally" division problem.
3
B. 63 ÷ 7 = 9
Fact families use the same three numbers with multiplication and division. 9 × 7 = 63 relates to 63 ÷ 7 = 9.
4
72
8 × 9 = 72. Grid-in: bubble 7 in first column, 2 in second column.
5
B. 7
7 × 6 = 42. Think: "What times 6 equals 42?" or use division: 42 ÷ 6 = 7.
6
C. 5 × 12
5 equal groups (tanks) with 12 in each group (fish) = multiplication. 5 × 12 = 60 fish total.
7
9
36 cards ÷ 4 cards per page = 9 pages. This is "measurement" division (how many groups?).
8
C. 35
The pattern is multiplying by 7. 5 groups × 7 items per group = 35 total.
9
A. Add 6 to 36
7 × 6 is one more group of 6 than 6 × 6. So add 6 to 36: 36 + 6 = 42.
10
B. 9 × 8 = 72
Division and multiplication are inverse operations. If 72 ÷ 9 = 8, then 9 × 8 = 72.
