1

24+8.5=24+8.5= s

2

248.5=24-8.5= s

3

24÷8.5=24\div8.5= s

4

24×8.5=24\times8.5= s

Multiple Choice

Jana has two boxes of 12 cookies. She shares the cookies equally among 4 people. Which equation shows how to find the number of cookies, c, each person got?

1

12 ÷ 4 = c

2

3

2(12) ÷ 4 = c

15

Multiple Choice

Emily had $50. Then she worked 8 hours for $10 each hour. Which expression matches the words?

16

Multiple Choice

A bakery displays 18 sugar cookies and three times as many chocolate chip cookies. The cookies are arranged on 9 different display shelves with the same number of cookies on each shelf. Which equation represents the number of cookies, c, displayed on each shelf?

1

[18 × (6 + 18)] ÷ 9 = c

2

[18 + (3 × 18)] ÷ 9 = c

3

(3 × 18) ÷ 9= c

4

[18 × (3 + 18)] - 9 = c

Multiple Choice

Jonathan buys 4 sheets of 10 stamps each and 2 sheets of 8 stamps each. He uses 25 stamps on envelopes. Which equation can be used to find n, the number of stamps Jonathan has left?

1

(4 + 10 x 2 + 8) - 25 = n

2

4(10) + 2(8) - 25 = n

3

4(10) + 2(8) + 25 = n

4

10 + 8 - 25

Multiple Choice

Peter had a starting balance of $482.32 in his checking account. Which equation shows how to find his balance, b, after he withdrawals $45?

1

b = $482.32 + $45

432 + (6x4) = h

2

432 ÷ (4x6) = h

3

(432 ÷ 4) x 6 = h

4

432 - (6x4)= h

21

Multiple Choice

Frank paid $41 total for 5 books and 1 magazine. The magazine costs $6 and each book cost the same amount. Which equation represents this situation where b is the price of a book.

1

b= (5x41) - 6

2

41= 5 + b + 6

3

41= (5 x b) + 6

4

b= (5x6) + 41

22

Multiple Choice

Mr. Anderson had 185 pieces of wood. He sold 25 pieces of wood to his neighbor and stacked the rest of the wood into piles around his house. Each pile of wood contained 40 pieces of wood. Which equation can be used to find p, the number of piles of wood Mr. Anderson made?

1

p = (185+25)+40

2
