To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are how many meerkats there are total (T) and how many meerkats are left in the burrow (L).

 because there are  families of meerkats and each of them has  members of the family. Each is a keyword for multiplication so that gives us a hint.

 because there are  meerkats total in the burrows and  meerkats are subtracted because they left the burrow.

There are  meerkats left in the burrows.

To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are how many baseball cards Patrick received in total (T) and how many cards each child will receive (C).

 because he received  cards from his friend and then another  from his uncle. The cards would be added together to find the total.

÷ because there are  cards total and they are being shared equally among Patrick AND his two brothers so there are  children total. "Shared equally" is a keyword for division.

Each child will receive  cards in total.

To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are how much did it snow during the weekdays (W) and how much did it snow on Saturday (S).

 because we need to know how much it snowed during the weekdays in total. We must add together the amount of snow from Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

 because it snowed  times as much on Saturday as it did the rest of the week. The total snow from the weekdays will be multiplied by  to find out how much it snowed on Saturday.

On Saturday it snowed a total of  inches.
