Additive and Multiplicative Relationships Practice

Front

What is an additive relationship?

Back

An additive relationship is when two quantities are combined by addition. For example, if you have 3 apples and you get 2 more, the total is 3 + 2 = 5 apples.

Front

What is a multiplicative relationship?

Back

A multiplicative relationship is when two quantities are combined by multiplication. For example, if you have 4 bags of apples and each bag contains 3 apples, the total is 4 x 3 = 12 apples.

Front

How do you identify an additive relationship in a table?

Back

In a table, an additive relationship is shown when the difference between consecutive values is constant. For example, if the values are 2, 4, 6, 8, the difference is always 2.

Front

How do you identify a multiplicative relationship in a graph?

Back

In a graph, a multiplicative relationship is shown when the values increase or decrease by a constant factor. For example, if the values double each time, it shows a multiplicative relationship.

Front

What is the formula for finding the total in an additive relationship?

Back

The formula is Total = Initial Quantity + Added Quantity.

Front

What is the formula for finding the total in a multiplicative relationship?

Back

The formula is Total = Quantity x Number of Groups.

Front

Give an example of an additive relationship in real life.

Back

An example is when you save money. If you save $10 each week, after 4 weeks, you will have saved 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = $40.

Front

Give an example of a multiplicative relationship in real life.

Back

An example is when you buy packs of pencils. If each pack contains 5 pencils and you buy 3 packs, you have 5 x 3 = 15 pencils.

Front

What does it mean if a graph shows a straight line?

Back

A straight line in a graph indicates a constant rate of change, which can represent either an additive or multiplicative relationship depending on the context.

Front

What is the difference between a graph and a table?

Back

A graph visually represents data points and their relationships, while a table organizes data in rows and columns for easy comparison.
