Example Question #2 : Solve Two Step Word Problems Using The Four Operations: Ccss.Math.Content.3.Oa.D.8

Hannah is making a red fruit salad because red is her favorite color. She cuts up  pieces of watermelon and puts it in a bowl. Because she really loves strawberries, she wants  times as many pieces of strawberries as pieces of watermelon. Then she adds half as many raspberries as strawberries. How many pieces of fruit are in her fruit salad? 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are the number strawberries and raspberries she puts in the fruit salad. We can set up equations for these unknowns by letting  represent strawberries and  represent raspberries. 

  because she has  times as many strawberries than watermelon. 

  because when we half something we always divide by 

Now we need to add the watermelon, strawberries, and raspberries together to find our total.
