Independent Practice: Multiplicative Comparison Set Size UnknownSolve each problem below by identifying the multiplier, and the number in the second set, which is a multiple of the first, unknown set. Divide the second set by the multiplier to find your answer. Go back to the problem to make sure you have answered the question being asked, and that your answer makes sense. |
It costs $500 to take a bus tour of Europe. This is four times as much as it costs to take a bus tour of Mexico City. How much is the bus tour of Mexico City? The multiplier is 4 . The number in the second set is 500 . 500 ÷ 4 = 125 The tour of Mexico City costs $ 125 . If you multiply the multiplier by your answer, you should get the cost of the European tour. Is your answer reasonable?

There are 256 students outside on the playground. This is eight times as many students as there are inside the cafeteria. How many students are inside the cafeteria? The multiplier is 8 . The number in the second set is 256 . 256 ÷ 8 = 32 There are 32 students inside the cafeteria. If you multiply the multiplier by your answer, you should get the number of students who are outside on the playground. Is your answer reasonable?
