Multiplication expressed in English

It turns out there are dozens of ways of stating multiplication in English. Students sometimes find
it challenging to translate the words into actual maths and this module is designed to provide
practice in this respect.


Note that there are several randomised expressions meaning 'equals' as well. Some examples are:

5 multiplied by 7 equals ?
6 times 12 would be ?
4 times as much as 7 comes to ?
5 lots of 13 gives us ?
The product of 5 and 7 would be ?
5, increased by a multiplier of 16 comes to ?
8, increased by a factor of 3 would be ?
A multiplicand of 10 applied to a multiplier of 7 gives us what ?
The result of times'ing 7 and 6 makes ? ***
The result of multiplying 15 and 6 would be ?
200 percent of 500 comes to what ?
400 % of 5 gives what ?
1/2 of 250 makes ?
1/4 of 5 would be what ?
20% interest on £5 would give us ?
3 for every 8 would make ?
A hundred and twenty-five percent of 5 is what ?
150 % of 70 comes to ?
Five-fourths of 16 makes what ?
An increase of 25 % on £250 comes to ?
5 when doubled is ?
3 cubed comes to ?
Twice as much as 5 would be ?
Double 5 equals ?
Triple 5 gives us ?
9 tripled would be ?
Thrice the original amount of £5 gives us ?
Treble 5 makes ?
25 quadrupled would be what ?
5 squared makes ?
5 raised to the power of 2 gives us ?

*** "Times'ing" is not standard English, but you will still hear this phrase a lot in multiplication scenarios.
