Absolutely! Let’s solve this worksheet step by step. The title “Multiplication as Comparison” means we’re using multiplication to show how one quantity relates to another — for example, “3 times as many” means you multiply the original amount by 3.

##
Part 1: Complete the equations
2. 3 times as many
- Image shows
1 yellow circle.
- So, “3 times as many” = 3 × 1 = 3
✔ Answer: 3 × 1 = 3
---
3. 5 times more
- Image shows
5 yellow circles.
- “5 times more” likely means 5 × 5 = 25 (since “more” here is used loosely to mean “multiplied by”).
✔ Answer: 5 × 5 = 25
> *Note: In strict math terms, “5 times more” can be ambiguous, but in elementary contexts like this, it usually means “5 times as many.”*
---
4. 4 times as much
- Image shows
3 yellow circles.
- So, 4 times as much = 4 × 3 = 12
✔ Answer: 4 × 3 = 12
---
5. 10 times as much
- Equation: 10 × ___ = 40
- To find the missing number: 40 ÷ 10 = 4
✔ Answer: 10 × 4 = 40
---
6. 2 times more
- Equation: 2 × ___ = 6
- Missing number: 6 ÷ 2 = 3
✔ Answer: 2 × 3 = 6
---
7. twice as many
- Equation: 2 × ___ = 14
- Missing number: 14 ÷ 2 = 7
✔ Answer: 2 × 7 = 14

##
Part 2: Complete the bar diagrams and equations
These are visual representations of “times as many.”
---
8. twice as many as 4 boys
- Top bar: represents
4 boys → so write
4 in the blue box.
- Bottom bar: twice as many → 2 × 4 = 8 → split into two equal parts (each part = 4).
- Equation: 2 × ___ = 8 → missing number is 4
✔ Answer: 2 × 4 = 8
---
9. 2 times as many as 3 bows
- Top bar:
3 bows → write
3 in the blue box.
- Bottom bar: 2 times as many → 2 × 3 = 6 → split into two parts (each = 3).
- Equation: 2 × 3 = 6
✔ Answer: 2 × 3 = 6
---
10. 4 times as many as 6 fish
- Top bar:
6 fish → write
6 in the blue box.
- Bottom bar: 4 times as many → 4 × 6 = 24 → split into four equal parts (each = 6).
- Equation: 4 × 6 = 24
✔ Answer: 4 × 6 = 24
