5 hours (1 hour per day x 5 days = 5 hours).

68 (4 x 17 = 68).

4 cell phones (6 students - 2 without cell phones = 4 cell phones).

Add the number of students in each class together (e.g., 13 + 22 = 35).

18 tasks (24 - 6 = 18).

A word problem is a mathematical question presented in the form of a narrative or story, requiring interpretation and problem-solving skills.

Subtract the number of items removed from the total number of items (Total - Removed = Remaining).

Understanding the context helps to identify the relevant information and the mathematical operations needed to solve the problem.

Addition (e.g., to find the total number of items in two groups, you add the quantities together).

Multiply the time spent on the activity each day by the number of days (Time per day x Number of days = Total time).
