Mixed multiplication and division word problems for a school Robotics Club Workshop. Students read scenarios about gears, motors, wheels, sensors, battery packs, bolts, wires, robot teams, and coding tasks, then choose multiplication or division to form an equation and solve. A challenge problem asks students to total extra parts from multiple boxes and divide them equally among students. An answer key provides the completed equations and results.

Mixed Multiplication & Division Word Problems

Question Set

Answer Key

Name: _________________________________________ Mixed Multiplication & Division Word Problems Directions: Read each word problem about the school Robotics Club Workshop. Decide if you need to multiply or divide. Write an equation and solve. Show your work if you need extra space. 1. Gear Packs Each robot kit needs 4 gears. The club is building 6 robots. How many gears do they need in all? • Equation: Answer: gears 2. Sharing Motors The club has 24 small motors. They divide them equally into 4 robot-building groups. How many motors does each group get? • Equation: Answer: motors 3. Wheels for Robots Each robot uses 3 wheels. The club builds 9 robots. How many wheels do they use in total? • Equation: Answer: wheels 1 Mashup Math LLC | Al[l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at ](l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at www.mashupmath.com)[www.mashupmath.com](l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at www.mashupmath.com) 4. Sorting Sensors There are 35 sensors, and the students put them into 5 equal bins. How many sensors are in each bin? • Equation: Answer: sensors 5. Battery Packs A robot uses 2 battery packs. The club has 11 robots ready for a competition. How many battery packs do they need altogether? • Equation: Answer: battery packs 6. Boxes of Bolts The club orders 6 boxes of bolts. Each box has 7 bolts inside. How many bolts do they have in all? • Equation: Answer: bolts 7. Sorting Wires There are 42 wires on the table. The students sort them into 7 equal piles.

Robot Teams There are 4 students on each robot team. If there are 8 teams in the workshop, how many students are in the Robotics Club today? • Equation: Answer: students 9. Code Practice Tasks Each robot needs to complete 5 code tasks. The club is testing 7 robots. How many code tasks will be completed in all if each robot finishes all of its tasks? • Equation: Answer: tasks 10. Challenge Problem – Sharing Extra Parts The club has 3 boxes of extra robot parts. Each box has 16 parts. They want to share all the parts equally among 8 students. a) How many parts are there in all? b) How many parts does each student get? • Equation(s): • Answer: parts in all; parts for each student Mashup Math LLC | Al[l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at ](l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at www.mashupmath.com)[www.mashupmath.com](l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at www.mashupmath.com) 3 ANSWER KEY 1. 4 × 6 = 24 → 24 gears 2. 24 ÷ 4 = 6 → 6 motors 3. 3 × 9 = 27 → 27 wheels 4. 35 ÷ 5 = 7 → 7 sensors 5. 2 × 11 = 22 → 22 battery packs 6. 6 × 7 = 42 → 42 bolts 7. 42 ÷ 7 = 6 → 6 wires 8. 4 × 8 = 32 → 32 students 9. 5 × 7 = 35 → 35 tasks 10a. 3 × 16 = 48 → 48 parts in all 10b. 48 ÷ 8 = 6 → 6 parts for each student 4 Mashup Math LLC | Al[l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at ](l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at www.mashupmath.com)[www.mashupmath.com](l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at www.mashupmath.com)

FAQs

How do students decide whether to multiply or divide in these problems?

Each scenario tells how items are grouped or shared. Equal groups or “each robot gets” situations typically indicate division, while total quantities from “each needs” or “each box has” typically indicate multiplication.

What kinds of real-world robotics club situations are included?

The worksheet includes problems about gears, motors, wheels, sensors, battery packs, bolts, wires, robot teams, and code practice tasks.

What does the challenge problem require?

Students first find the total number of extra parts in all the boxes, then divide that total equally among the specified number of students.
