- Q1Which of the following equations can be used to solve the following problem: There are 1,928 elves in Santa's workshop. Each elf wrapped 63 gifts. How many gifts did they wrap in all?1,928 x 63 = G1,928 = G x 631,928 ÷ 63 = G1,928 x G = 63120s
- Q2Which of the following equation can be used to solve the following problem: There are 23 people buying ipads at Wal*Mart. If there are 156 ipads available and they sold an equal amount to each customer, how many ipads did each person buy?23 ÷ 156 = B156 x 23 = B156 x B = 23156 ÷ 23 =B120s
- Q3Which of the following equations can be used to solve the following problem: There are 9 Christmas trees at a hotel. If each tree has 38 ornaments, how many ornaments are on all the trees?38 x F = 99 x 38 = F9 x F = 3838 ÷ 9 = F120s
- Q4The Fed Ex truck is carrying 758 pounds of chocolate. If there are 56 packages of chocolate and each one weighs the same amount, how much does each package weigh?758 ÷ 56 = W758 x 56 = W56 ÷ 758 = W758 x W = 56120s
- Q5There are 240 holiday erasers for the fourth grade teachers to give to their classes. If there are 8 fourth grade teachers, and they each get the same number of erasers, how many erasers will each teacher get?240 x E = 8240 x 8 = E240 ÷ 8 = E8 ÷ 240 = E120s
- Q6Which equation can be used to solve the following problem. At Kara's Holiday Party, she made two different kinds of cookies--- Chocolate chip and peanut butter. There are 96 chocolate chip cookies. If there are three times as many chocolate chip cookies as there are peanut butter, how many peanut butter cookies are there?P= 96 ÷ 3P = 96 x 33 ÷ 96 = P96 x P = 3120s
- Q7Hopefully you got this earlier question right! To solve this problem you must do repeated addition or multiplication! Now use your equation to solve the problem! There are 9 Christmas trees at a hotel. If each tree has 38 ornaments, how many ornaments are on all the trees?272 ornaments342 ornaments4 R 1 ornaments342 trees120s
- Q8Hopefully you got this earlier question right. Your answer has to be smaller than 96 because there are less peanut butter than chocolate chip cookies. Since you are breaking it into groups, you need to do division. Now use your equation to solve the problem. At Kara's Holiday Party, she made two different kinds of cookies--- Chocolate chip and peanut butter. There are 96 chocolate chip cookies. If there are three times as many chocolate chip cookies as there are peanut butter, how many peanut butter cookies are there?30 peanut butter cookies33 peanut butter cookies288 peanut butter cookies32 peanut butter cookies120s
- Q9Hopefully you got this earlier question right! Since the teachers are sharing something equally we must divide. Now use your equation to solve the problem.There are 240 holiday erasers for the fourth grade teachers to give to their classes. If there are 8 fourth grade teachers, and they each get the same number of erasers, how many erasers will each teacher get?1920 erasers40 erasers3 erasers30 erasers120s
- Q10Click on I AM GREAT AT PROBLEM SOLVING to get this question correct. Then, on a separate sheet of paper create and solve your own word problem that uses either multiplication or division. Make sure to put your name and number on the top and write neatly. Then, turn your problem in to the MATH bin and you may INDEPENDENTLY play any division games on Mrs. Nota's website or basic math fact games on arcademics.XZCKUEFI AM GREAT AT PROBLEM SOLVINGADKLFNKASCIOH120s
