Challenge Questions:

Daniel and his brother Ben went to their grandfather’s farm for a few weeks of vacation.

1. During their stay at the farm, they were asked to take care of the animals. One day, his grandfather asked if he could count the total number of sheep that they have. If there are 3 flocks of sheep and each flock has 20 sheep, how many sheep do they have in total?

2. Ben was asked to count the number of cows that they have. He saw that there are a total of 40 cows in every herd. How many cows do they have if there are 8 cow herds on the farm?

3. Both boys were asked to count the number of chickens on the farm. Ben walked through 4 barns and counted a total of 9 chicken coops. Daniel said that there are 60 chickens in each coop. how many chickens do they have in total?

4. Ben was also given 7 trays of eggs to examine. If each tray has 10 eggs, how many eggs did Ben examine in total?

5. After they vacation, they figured out that the farm was divided into 5 sections and each section has an area of 60 acres. Write an equation for the total area of the farm.

Answer Keys

Practice:

Challenge:

1. 3 x 20 = 60 They have a total of 60 sheep. 2. 40 x 8 = 320 They have a total of 320 cows. 3. 9 x 60 = 540 They have a total of 540 chickens. 4. 7 x 10 = 70 Ben examined a total of 70 eggs. 5. 60 x 5 = 300 The total land area of the farm is 300 acres.
