Multi-Step Maths Word Problems Year 6 Worksheet - Twinkl - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Multistep Word Problems", which contains several math problems that require multiple steps to solve. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll need you to either:

1. Describe the specific problem(s) you'd like help with (e.g., "Problem 3 on the left page"), or
2. Copy and paste the text of the problem(s) you want solved.

However, based on the visible content in your image, I can already see some of the problems. Let me solve and explain one or two of them as examples, assuming you’d like help with these.

✔ Example Problem 1: (Left Page, #1)

> Six pencils cost £0.92. Three pencils and one rubber cost £1.21. What is the cost of one rubber?

#### Step-by-step Solution:

We are given:
- 6 pencils = £0.92 → So, cost of 1 pencil = £0.92 ÷ 6 = £0.1533... ≈ £0.1533

But let’s keep it exact:
- £0.92 ÷ 6 = £0.15333... = £0.1533 (we'll use decimals for simplicity)

Now, three pencils cost:
- 3 × £0.1533 = £0.4599 ≈ £0.46

But again, better to use fractions or exact values.

Let’s do it more precisely:

Step 1: Find cost of one pencil.
- 6 pencils = £0.92
- So, 1 pencil = £0.92 ÷ 6 = £0.15333...

But let's use pence to avoid decimals:
- £0.92 = 92 pence
- 92 ÷ 6 = 15.333... pence per pencil → Not ideal.

Wait — let's work with fractions:

92 pence ÷ 6 = 46/3 pence per pencil

So 3 pencils = 3 × (46/3) = 46 pence

Now, “Three pencils and one rubber” cost £1.21 = 121 pence

So:
- 3 pencils + 1 rubber = 121 pence
- 46 pence + rubber = 121 pence
- Rubber = 121 - 46 = 75 pence

✔ So, the cost of one rubber is £0.75

✔ Example Problem 2: (Right Page, #2)

> A stack of 40 identical log books is 1000cm tall. Markus takes three books off the top of the pile. How tall is the stack now?

#### Step-by-step Solution:

- Total height = 1000 cm for 40 books
- Height per book = 1000 ÷ 40 = 25 cm per book
- Markus removes 3 books → 3 × 25 = 75 cm removed
- New height = 1000 - 75 = 925 cm

✔ Answer: 925 cm

✔ Example Problem 3: (Right Page, #3)

> Mrs Tunnicliffe is making jam to sell at the county fair. Blackberries cost £5.50 per kg. Sugar costs £6 per kg. 15 kg of blackberries and 12kg of sugar are used. Calculate the total cost to make 15 jars of jam.

Wait — this seems incomplete. It says "make 15 jars", but we don’t know how much goes into each jar.

But perhaps it's just asking for the total cost of ingredients? Let's assume so.

#### Step-by-step:

- Blackberries: 15 kg × £5.50 = £82.50
- Sugar: 12 kg × £6.00 = £72.00
- Total cost = £82.50 + £72.00 = £154.50

✔ So, total cost to make the jam = £154.50

(If they ask per jar, then divide by 15: £154.50 ÷ 15 = £10.30 per jar — but since not asked, we stop here.)

✔ Example Problem 4: (Right Page, #4)

> A school orders 12 boxes of dice. Each box contains six bags of dice. Each bag contains 35 dice. How many dice did the school order in total?

#### Step-by-step:

- Dice per bag = 35
- Bags per box = 6 → 6 × 35 = 210 dice per box
- Boxes = 12 → 12 × 210 = 2,520 dice

✔ Total dice ordered = 2,520

✔ Example Problem 5: (Right Page, #5)

> Mike thinks of a number. He multiplies the number by 100, divides it by eight, then adds 6.50. The answer is 1206.5. What was his starting number?

Let’s call the starting number x

Equation:
$$
\frac{100x}{8} + 6.50 = 1206.5
$$

Simplify:
$$
12.5x + 6.5 = 1206.5
$$

Subtract 6.5 from both sides:
$$
12.5x = 1200
$$

Divide:
$$
x = \frac{1200}{12.5} = 96
$$

✔ Starting number = 96
