Using Multiplication and Division Together

Combining Operations

Some problems need both multiplication and division! You might have to multiply first, then divide, or the other way around.

How Operations Work Together

  • Order of Operations: Do the calculations in the right order.
  • Checking Work: Use multiplication to check division answers, and vice versa.

Real-Life Uses

Combining these skills helps you solve tricky problems in games, shopping, and more!

Examples

  • If 5 friends each get 4 stickers, how many stickers in total? \(5 \times 4 = 20\). If you share these 20 stickers among 4 friends, each gets \(20 \div 4 = 5\).

  • You bake 24 cupcakes and pack 3 in each box. How many boxes do you need? \(24 \div 3 = 8\).

In a Nutshell

Sometimes you need both multiplication and division to solve a problem.
