Grade 3 maths worksheet on multiplication and division word problems, asking students to determine if given scenarios can be solved using specific division calculations.

Let's solve the problems step by step and determine whether each word problem can be solved using the given division calculation.

Part 1: Can the following problems be solved using 10 ÷ 2? True or False?

We need to check if each problem requires the calculation 10 ÷ 2.

---

#### a. There are 2 bags of potatoes that have 5 potatoes in each bag. How many rolls are there altogether?

- This is asking for the total number of potatoes.
- It’s a multiplication problem:
$ 2 \text{ bags} \times 5 \text{ potatoes per bag} = 10 $ potatoes.
- The operation is multiplication, not division.
- Also, it asks about "rolls" (likely a typo — probably meant "potatoes").
- Not solved by $ 10 ÷ 2 $

✔ Answer: False

---

#### b. A car holds 2 people. How many boats are needed for 10 people?

- Wait — it says “car holds 2 people” but asks about “boats”? That seems like a mismatch.
- But assuming it means: Each boat holds 2 people. How many boats are needed for 10 people?
- Then: $ 10 \div 2 = 5 $ boats.
- Yes, this uses $ 10 ÷ 2 $

✔ Answer: True

---

#### c. I have 10 pens and give 2 pens to each person. How many people receive pen?

- We’re dividing 10 pens into groups of 2.
- $ 10 \div 2 = 5 $ people.
- Yes, this uses $ 10 ÷ 2 $

✔ Answer: True

---

#### d. I have 10 crayon sets and give 2 away. How many do I have left?

- This is subtraction: $ 10 - 2 = 8 $
- Not division.
- So, not solved by $ 10 ÷ 2 $

✔ Answer: False

✔ Summary for Part 1:

| Problem | Answer |
|--------|--------|
| a | False |
| b | True |
| c | True |
| d | False |

Part 2: Can the following problems be solved using 36 ÷ 2? True or False?

Now check which ones use $ 36 ÷ 2 $

---

#### a. There are 2 bags of potatoes that have 36 potatoes in each bag. How many rolls are there altogether?

- Again, likely “rolls” should be “potatoes”.
- Total = $ 2 \times 36 = 72 $
- Multiplication, not division.
- Not solved by $ 36 ÷ 2 $

✔ Answer: False

---

#### b. A car holds 2 people. How many boats are needed for 36 people?

- Assuming it's a typo: “boat” instead of “car” — or just meaning vehicles that hold 2 people.
- If each vehicle holds 2 people, then number of vehicles needed = $ 36 \div 2 = 18 $
- Yes, uses $ 36 ÷ 2 $

✔ Answer: True

---

#### c. I have 36 pens and give 2 pens to each person. How many people receive pen?

- Divide 36 pens into groups of 2 → $ 36 \div 2 = 18 $ people
- Yes, uses $ 36 ÷ 2 $

✔ Answer: True

---

#### d. I have 36 crayon sets and give 2 away. How many do I have left?

- Subtraction: $ 36 - 2 = 34 $
- Not division.
- Not solved by $ 36 ÷ 2 $

✔ Answer: False

---

✔ Summary for Part 2:

| Problem | Answer |
|--------|--------|
| a | False |
| b | True |
| c | True |
| d | False |

---

✔ Final Answers:

#### First Set (10 ÷ 2):
- a. False
- b. True
- c. True
- d. False

#### Second Set (36 ÷ 2):
- a. False
- b. True
- c. True
- d. False

📌 Explanation:

- Division ($ \div $) is used when:
- Splitting a total into equal groups (e.g., giving 2 pens to each person).
- Finding how many groups of a certain size can be made from a total (e.g., how many boats for 10 people if each holds 2).
- Multiplication is used when finding totals from groups.
- Subtraction is used when taking away a quantity.

So only problems involving equal sharing or grouping use division.
