1. 56
How many lots of 5 miles is 35 miles? Work out 35 ÷ 5 first.
35 ÷ 5 = 7, so it is 7 times 5 miles: 8 × 7 = 56.
2. 65
How many lots of 8 km is 104 km? Work out 104 ÷ 8 first.
104 ÷ 8 = 13, so it is 13 times 8 km: 5 × 13 = 65.
3. 112
How many lots of 5 miles is 70 miles? Work out 70 ÷ 5 first.
70 ÷ 5 = 14, so it is 14 times 5 miles: 8 × 14 = 112.
4. 15
How many lots of 8 km is 24 km? Work out 24 ÷ 8 first.
24 ÷ 8 = 3, so it is 3 times 8 km: 5 × 3 = 15.
