Marlon picked plums off a tree in the yard. He gave 42 plums to a neighbor and had 43 left. Which equation, when solved, will tell how many plums Marlon picked? 42 ÷ p = 43 p - 42 = 43 42 - 43 = p 42 ÷ 43 = p Joanna bought some toy cars at a garage sale. She gave 51 cars to her sister and had 14 cars left. Which equation, when solved, will tell how many cars Joanna bought at the garage sale? 65 - 51 = c c - 51 = 14 14 - c = 51 51 ÷ 14 = c Patrick owns 2 marbles. When Patrick and Danielle put all of their marbles together, they have 902 marbles. Which equation, when solved, will show how many marbles Danielle owns? 2 - 902 = m 2 - m = 902 2 + m = 902 2 x m = 902 Raymond bought some stamps. He used 34 of the stamps and had 275 stamps left. Which equation, when solved, will show how many stamps he bought? s ÷ 34 = 275 s + 34 = 275 s - 34 = 275 275 + s = 34 Jackson bought 74 packages of light bulbs. He bought 592 light bulbs in all. Which equation, when solved, will tell how many light bulbs were in each package? 592 x b = 74 74 x b = 592 b + 74 = 592 74 ÷ b = 592 Damon bought some buttons at the craft store. He used 4 of them for an art project and had 79 left. Which equation, when solved, will tell how many buttons Damon bought? b - 4 = 79 79 ÷ 4 = b 79 - b = 4 83 - 4 = b After a field trip to the aquarium, Ariel decided to collect fish stickers. She started off with 27 fish stickers. Then she bought some more fish stickers at the store. Now Ariel has 70 fish stickers in all. Which equation, when solved, will show how many fish stickers Ariel bought at the store? 27 + s = 70 70 + s = 27 27 ÷ s = 70 27 - s = 70 Aaron bought 15 packages of toy cars. He bought 45 toy cars in all. Which equation, when solved, will tell how many toy cars were in each package? 15 ÷ b = 45 b + 15 = 45 45 x 15 = b 15 x b = 45 A group of tourists divided themselves among 5 boats for a river tour. There were 6 tourists on each boat. Which equation, when solved, will tell how many tourists were in the group? 5 ÷ 6 = t t x 5 = 6 t - 5 = 6 t ÷ 5 = 6 The school is going to use 10 boxes to ship some books to another school. The school needs to ship 450 books. Which equation, when solved, will tell how many books the school should put in each box? 10 x b = 450 10 + 450 = b 450 ÷ b = 10 450 - 10 = b Marion picked up cans in the schoolyard. She threw 25 of the cans in the trash and had 38 left. Which equation, when solved, will tell how many cans Marion picked up? 25 - c = 38 c ÷ 25 = 38 25 - 38 = c c - 25 = 38 |
