Math Multiplication Word Problems worksheets - Free Printable

Let’s solve each problem step by step and fill in the blanks. The “T O” grid with an “x” is likely meant for students to write the Tens and Ones digits of the answer — so we’ll also show how to break down each answer into Tens and Ones.

Problem 1: Bananas

> There are 5 bunches of bananas. Each bunch has 5 bananas. How many bananas are there in all?

✔ Solution:
This is multiplication:
5 bunches × 5 bananas = 25 bananas

→ Answer: 25

- Tens (T) = 2
- Ones (O) = 5
So, in the grid:
```
T O
2 5
x
```

Problem 2: Trees

> A gardener has planted 7 trees in a row. If there are 10 rows, how many trees are there altogether?

✔ Solution:
7 trees/row × 10 rows = 70 trees

→ Answer: 70

- Tens (T) = 7
- Ones (O) = 0
Grid:
```
T O
7 0
x
```

Problem 3: Children on Swings

> There are 10 swings in the park. On each swing there are 2 children. Find the total number of children?

✔ Solution:
10 swings × 2 children = 20 children

→ Answer: 20

- Tens (T) = 2
- Ones (O) = 0
Grid:
```
T O
2 0
x
```

Problem 4: John’s Meals

> John eats 3 meals a day. How many meals does he eat in one week?

✔ Solution:
There are 7 days in a week.
3 meals/day × 7 days = 21 meals

→ Answer: 21

- Tens (T) = 2
- Ones (O) = 1
Grid:
```
T O
2 1
x
```

Problem 5: Apples in Baskets

> There are 4 baskets. Each basket has 6 apples. How many apples are there altogether?

✔ Solution:
4 baskets × 6 apples = 24 apples

→ Answer: 24

- Tens (T) = 2
- Ones (O) = 4
Grid:
```
T O
2 4
x
```

## ✔ Final Answers:

1. There are 25 bananas all together. → T=2, O=5
2. There are 70 trees all together. → T=7, O=0
3. There are 20 children all together. → T=2, O=0
4. There are 21 meals all together. → T=2, O=1
5. There are 24 apples all together. → T=2, O=4

All problems use simple multiplication to find the total. The “T O” grid helps reinforce place value understanding — breaking the answer into tens and ones digits.
