Multiplication word problems worksheet for students to practice applying multiplication skills to everyday situations.

Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step. We’ll check our math carefully before giving the final answers.

Problem 1:
Mr. Connor makes $23 per hour and works 46 hours.
To find total money: multiply hourly rate × hours worked.
→ 23 × 46

Let’s calculate:
20 × 46 = 920
3 × 46 = 138
Add them: 920 + 138 = 1058

✔ He will make $1,058 in one week.

Problem 2:
Cody bought 12 pizzas at $15 each → 12 × 15 = ?
Brad bought 8 pizzas at $12 each → 8 × 12 = ?

Cody:
10 × 15 = 150
2 × 15 = 30
Total = 150 + 30 = 180

Brad:
8 × 12 = 96

Compare: 180 > 96 → Cody spent more.

✔ Cody spent more money on pizza.

Problem 3:
Jodie worked 326 hours at $13 per hour.
Multiply: 326 × 13

Break it down:
300 × 13 = 3900
26 × 13 = (20×13) + (6×13) = 260 + 78 = 338
Total = 3900 + 338 = 4238

✔ Jodie made $4,238 over the summer.

Problem 4:
Blanket is 28 inches by 42 inches. Area = length × width.
→ 28 × 42

Calculate:
20 × 42 = 840
8 × 42 = 336
Total = 840 + 336 = 1176

✔ Area of blanket is 1,176 square inches.

Problem 5:
Farmer Tyler has 638 corn stocks. Each produces 6 ears.
Total ears = 638 × 6

Calculate:
600 × 6 = 3600
38 × 6 = 228
Total = 3600 + 228 = 3828

✔ He will have 3,828 ears of corn.

Problem 6:
Kevion has 165 cows. Each produced 43 gallons.
Total milk = 165 × 43

Break it down:
100 × 43 = 4300
60 × 43 = 2580
5 × 43 = 215
Add: 4300 + 2580 = 6880; 6880 + 215 = 7095

✔ Cows produced 7,095 gallons altogether last month.

Problem 7:
Tyler and Brad each played 48 games.
Tyler: 38 minutes per game → 48 × 38
Brad: 40 minutes per game → 48 × 40
Find how many *more* minutes Brad played.

First, find difference per game: 40 - 38 = 2 minutes more per game for Brad.
Over 48 games: 48 × 2 = 96

✔ Brad played 96 more minutes than Tyler.

*(Alternative way: Calculate both totals and subtract — same result.)*

Problem 8:
Mr. Connor throws ball 58 times in each of 79 practices.
Total throws = 58 × 79

Break it down:
50 × 79 = 3950
8 × 79 = 632
Total = 3950 + 632 = 4582

✔ He will throw the ball 4,582 times altogether.

---

Problem 9:
Angel swam 63 laps/day for 247 days → 63 × 247
Jodie swam 65 laps/day for 247 days → 65 × 247
Find how many *more* laps Jodie swam.

Difference per day: 65 - 63 = 2 laps more per day.
Over 247 days: 247 × 2 = 494

✔ Jodie swam 494 more laps than Angel.

---

Problem 10:
Baseball field is 330 feet by 95 feet. Area = length × width.
→ 330 × 95

Break it down:
300 × 95 = 28,500
30 × 95 = 2,850
Total = 28,500 + 2,850 = 31,350

✔ He needs 31,350 square feet of artificial grass.
