Example Question #6 : Solving Problems Involving The Four Operations, And Identifying And Explaining Patterns In Arithmetic
Sara is hanging up flyers around her school. She started with flyers. She hung flyers around the east side of the building, but she hung half as many flyers on the west side of the building. How many flyers does she have left?
To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are the number of flyers that she hung on the west side of the building and the number of flyers she has left over. We can set up equations for these unknowns by letting represent the flyers she hung on the west side and represent the flyers that she has left.
because she hung half as many flyers on the west side as she hung on the east side. When we half something we always divide by .
To find the total number of flyers that she hung we add the amount of flyers on the east side and the amount on the west side.
To find how many flyers she has left, we subtract that total flyers that were hung from the flyers that she started with.
