Here are the step-by-step solutions for each problem on the worksheet.

1. Lemonade Stand Problem
* Problem: Lois made 45 glasses of lemonade. She sold them in groups of 9. How many groups did she sell?
* Step 1: We need to divide the total number of glasses by the size of each group.
* Calculation: $45 \div 9$
* Step 2: Think about multiplication facts for 9. What times 9 equals 45?
* $9 \times 5 = 45$
* Conclusion: She sold 5 groups. This matches option B.

2. Stamps and Albums Problem
* Problem: There were 36 albums with 4 rows of stamps in each album. Each row had 5 stamps. How many stamps were there in all?
* Step 1: First, find out how many stamps are in just one album.
* 4 rows $\times$ 5 stamps per row = 20 stamps per album.
* Step 2: Now, multiply the stamps per album by the total number of albums.
* 36 albums $\times$ 20 stamps per album.
* Step 3: Calculate $36 \times 20$.
* $36 \times 2 = 72$
* Add a zero at the end: 720.
* Conclusion: There were 720 stamps in all. This matches option C.

3. Number Sentence Problem
* Problem: Which number sentence shows five times as many as eight?
* Step 1: "Times as many" means multiplication.
* Step 2: We need to multiply 5 by 8.
* Equation: $5 \times 8 = 40$
* Conclusion: The correct sentence is $5 \times 8 = 40$. This matches option A.

4. Seven Times Larger Than 22
* Problem: What is seven times larger than 22?
* Step 1: Multiply 22 by 7.
* Calculation: $22 \times 7$
* Step 2: Break it down:
* $20 \times 7 = 140$
* $2 \times 7 = 14$
* $140 + 14 = 154$
* Conclusion: The answer is 154. This matches option D.

5. Weight Lifting Problem
* Problem: If you can lift 10 weight points, and Carl can lift twice as much, how much does Carl lift?
* Step 1: "Twice as much" means multiplying by 2.
* Step 2: Multiply your lifting amount by 2.
* $10 \times 2 = 20$
* Conclusion: Carl lifts 20 lbs. This matches option A.

6. Sticker Sharing Problem
* Problem: Olivia has 15 stickers and wants to share them equally among 5 friends. How many stickers does each friend get?
* Step 1: Divide the total stickers by the number of friends.
* Calculation: $15 \div 5$
* Step 2: Think: What number times 5 equals 15?
* $3 \times 5 = 15$
* Conclusion: Each friend gets 3 stickers. This matches option C.

7. Video Game Cost Problem
* Problem: T bought a new shirt for \$26 and a jacket that costs three times as much as his shirt. How much did he pay for both?
* Step 1: Find the cost of the jacket.
* Jacket = $3 \times$ Shirt price
* Jacket = $3 \times 26$
* $3 \times 20 = 60$ and $3 \times 6 = 18$. So, $60 + 18 = 78$. The jacket is \$78.
* Step 2: Find the total cost (Shirt + Jacket).
* Total = $26 + 78$
* $20 + 70 = 90$
* $6 + 8 = 14$
* $90 + 14 = 104$
* Conclusion: He paid \$104 in total. This matches option B.

8. Six Times Larger Than 4
* Problem: What is six times larger than 4?
* Step 1: Multiply 4 by 6.
* Calculation: $6 \times 4$
* Step 2: Use multiplication facts.
* $6 \times 4 = 24$
* Conclusion: The answer is 24. This matches option C.
