Examples with solutions for Multiplication and division: Complete the missing numbers

Exercise #1

12×34+?=27 12\times3-4+?=27

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the rules of operations, we first place the multiplication exercise in parentheses:

(12×3)4+?=27 (12\times3)-4+?=27

We solve the exercise in parentheses:

12×3=36 12\times3=36

We obtain the exercise:

364+?=27 36-4+?=27

We reduce:

32+?=27 32+?=27

We move 32 to the other side and change to the correct sign:

?=2732 ?=27-32

?=5 ?=-5

Answer

5 -5

Exercise #2

8×73+?=60 8\times7-3+?=60

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the rules of operations, we first place the multiplication exercise in parentheses:

(8×7)3+?=60 (8\times7)-3+?=60

8×7=56 8\times7=56

Now we obtain the exercise:

563+?=60 56-3+?=60

We reduce the subtraction exercise:

563=53 56-3=53

We obtain the exercise:

53+?=60 53+?=60

We move 53 to the other side and change to the correct sign:

?=6053 ?=60-53

?=7 ?=7

Answer

7 7

Exercise #3

5×7+?=4811 -5\times-7+?=48-11

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations rules, we first enter the multiplication problem inside the parentheses:

(5×7)+?=4811 (-5\times-7)+?=48-11

We solve the problem inside the parentheses and the subtraction problem:

5×7=35 -5\times-7=35

4811=37 48-11=37

Now we get the problem:

35+?=37 35+?=37

We move the term and change the sign accordingly:

?=3735 ?=37-35

?=2 ?=2

Answer

2 2

Exercise #4

12×34×?=12 12\times3-4\times?=12

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the laws of Arithmetic operations:

We must first place the multiplication exercise inside parentheses as shown below:(12×3)4×?=12 (12\times3)-4\times?=12

We then solve the multiplication:

12×3=36 12\times3=36

Which should result in the following calculation:

364×?=12 36-4\times?=12

We then transfer numbers to the other side of the equation and change the signs accordingly:

4×?=1236 -4\times?=12-36

We complete the subtraction exercise:

1236=24 12-36=-24

Resulting in the following calculation:

4×?=24 -4\times?=-24

Finally we divide by negative 4:

?=244 ?=\frac{-24}{-4}

?=6 ?=6

Answer

6 6
