Multiplication and division situations

Hi Friends! In this free math homework help session we will discuss about Multiplication and division situations. Multiplication and division situations are included for the students of grade IV. There are some situations that occur requiring the Multiplication situations or division situations that are as follows :
( 1 ) Equal groups : It can be understood by an example: if there are three boxes and each of them contains 4 balls then what are total number of balls in three boxes?
These types of questions produce the multiplication situation. The total balls are 3 * 4 = 12 balls.
And when total number of balls are given and number of boxes are given then it produces the division situation for getting the number of balls in each box as 3 * Balls in each box =12 or balls in each box = 12 / 3 = 4 .
( 2 ) Arrays / area : If there are three rows of cycles in the ground and in each row there are 6 cycles then how many cycles are there ?
This situation also requires the multiplication as total number of cycles are 3 * 6 = 18 cycles .
If we are given the total number of cycles and we have to give the cycles min each row and then find the number of rows. It produces the division situation as number of rows * 6 = 18 or number of rows = 18 / 6 = 3 rows.
( 3 ) Comparison : If there is comparison between the two objects as if length of one rope is double then the other rope of length 10 cm then find the length of first rope ? (also read difference between integration and differentiation)
Above situation is defined for the multiplication situation as length of first rope = 2 * length of second rope
Then l = 2 * 10 cm = 20 cm.
Or if there is a situation as Sam has 4 apples and Gim has half of them then it is division situation as
Gim's apples = 4 * 1/ 2 = 2 apples.
