Direction: Read each item carefully and encircle the correct answer.
1. If a number is divisible by both 2 and 3, then it is divisible by ____.

A) 3 B) 6 C)9 D) A, B and C

2. Jess and John are twin brothers but they play different sports. Jess plays

A) Yes, they will play on the same day on the 30th day of the next month
because 30 is both multiple of 5 and 6.
B) Yes, they will play on the same day on the 11th day of the next month
because 11 is the sum of 5 and 6 when added.

3. During the faculty Christmas Party of Libjo Elementary School, Teacher Ed

wins in guessing the age of their school principal who will retire in a few years.
The school principal’s clues state that his age is divisible by 2 and is a multiple of
9, moreover he is in between of 50 – 70 years old. What strategy did Teacher Ed
do to win in guessing the age of their school principal correctly?

A) He used the number sentence where he multiplies 9 by 5 and got a

product of 45; and 2 by 5 and got a product of 10. Then he adds the
two products and got an answer of 55. So, his guess is 55 years lold.
9 x 5 = 45 ; 2 x 5 = 10
45 + 10 = 55

He got an answer of 63 by using the working backward method. 63 is a

B) product of 9 when multiplied to 7, and 7 is the difference of 9 and 2.

63 = 9 x 7; 7 = 9 - 2

SET B 13
 He used the guess and check method. His guess is 61
years old, since 61 is the sum when you add 45 and 16.
45 and 16 are the products when you multiply 9 by 5
C) and 2 by 8.
9 x 5 = 45 ; 2 x 8 = 16

45 + 16 = 61

D) He used the table method where he looks for the

numbers that are multiples of 9 between 50 and 70.
Then he checks the numbers if they are divisible by
2. His guess is 54 years old because it is divisible by
2 and a multiple of 9.
