Inverse multiplication and division (short)

Method

1. If the missing number is in the question, not the answer, do the inverse

2. 4 x __ = 12          INVERSE
12 ÷ 4 =
 
__ x 5 = 35          INVERSE
35 ÷ 5 =

__ ÷ 3 = 5            INVERSE
5 x 3 =

Be careful! Questions like this do not use the inverse!

24 ÷ __ = 4          NO INVERSE
24 ÷ 4 =
