Example Question #771 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking

In Spot’s toy basket he has balls. There are more stuffed animals than balls and there is five times the number of ropes than balls. How many toys does Spot have in his basket?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are the number of ropes and stuffed animals that Spot has. We can set up equations for these unknowns by letting represent ropes and represent stuffed animals.

S=7+5 because he has more stuffed animals than his balls.

S=12

$R=7\times5$ because he has five times as many ropes as his balls.

R=35

Now we need to add up our number of balls, stuffed animals and ropes to find our total.

7+12+35=54

Example Question #771 : Operations & Algebraic Thinking

Tim swims laps in the pool every day during the week before school. On Monday and Tuesday he swims laps each day. On Wednesday and Thursday he doubles the number of laps he swims. On Friday, he swims fewer laps than he swam on Monday. How many total laps does he swim during the week?

Possible Answers:

102

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are the number of laps he swims on Wednesday and Thursday and the number of laps he swims on Friday. We can set up equations for these unknowns by letting represent the laps that he swims on Wednesday and Thursday and represent the number of laps he swims on Friday.

$WT=12\times2$ because when we double something we multiply by .

WT=24

F=12-4 because he is swimming less laps than he did on Monday, which means we subtract.

F=8

To find the total amount of laps that he swam, we need to add up the laps that he did each day.

12+12+24+24+8=80

Example Question #11 : Solving Problems Involving The Four Operations, And Identifying And Explaining Patterns In Arithmetic

There were families of meerkats that lived in the same burrows. Each family had meerkats. meerkats went out to find food, how many are left in the burrows?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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).

T=5*7 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.

T=35

L=35-4 because there are meerkats total in the burrows and meerkats are subtracted because they left the burrow.

L=31

There are meerkats left in the burrows.

Example Question #12 : Solving Problems Involving The Four Operations, And Identifying And Explaining Patterns In Arithmetic

Patrick got baseball trading cards for his birthday from his best friend. The next day he received more cards from his uncle. He decided to share them equally between himself and his two brothers. How many cards will each child receive?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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).

T=40+20 because he received cards from his friend and then another from his uncle. The cards would be added together to find the total.

T=60

C=60 ÷ 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.

C=20

Each child will receive cards in total.

Example Question #13 : Solving Problems Involving The Four Operations, And Identifying And Explaining Patterns In Arithmetic

In Denver, it snowed 5 inches on Monday, 6 inches on Tuesday, 3 inches on Thursday, and 1 inch on Friday. On Saturday, it snowed three times as much as the rest of the week. How much did it snow on Saturday?

Possible Answers:

inches

Correct answer:

inches

Explanation:

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).

W=5+6+3+1 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.

W=15

S=15*3 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.

S=45

On Saturday it snowed a total of inches.
