Exploring Multiplicative Comparisons in Math

What is a multiplicative comparison?

• A comparison using addition

• A comparison using division

• A comparison using subtraction

• A comparison using multiplication

If a nickel is worth 5 cents and a dime is worth 10 cents, how many times more is a dime worth compared to a nickel?

• 2 times

• 4 times

• 3 times

• 5 times

What does the number '2' represent in the statement '10 is 2 times as many as 5'?

• The total value

• The multiplicative factor

• The number of dimes

• The number of nickels

How many text messages does Evan have if Dustin has 14 and Evan has three times as many?

• 42

• 28

• 56

• 70

How can you express the relationship between Evan's and Dustin's text messages mathematically?

• 14 + 14 = 28

• 42 - 14 = 28

• 3 x 14 = 42

• 14 / 3 = 4.67

If 3 groups of 14 make 42, what does this tell us about Evan's text messages compared to Dustin's?

• Evan has half as many messages as Dustin

• Evan has three times as many messages as Dustin

• Evan has four times as many messages as Dustin

• Evan has twice as many messages as Dustin
