Jameliah has a roll of ribbon that is 33 feet long. She wants to cut her ribbon into smaller ribbons that are each 1 yard long. How many small ribbons can she make?

Answer explanation

1 small ribbon = 1 yard long

1 yard = 3 feet

Skip count by 3 until we get to 33.

1 yd = 3 ft

2 yd = 6 ft

3 yd = 9 ft

4 yd = 12 ft

5 yd = 15 ft

6 yd = 18 ft

7 yd = 21 ft

8 yd = 24 ft

9 yd = 27 ft

10 yd = 30 ft

11 yd = 33 ft

We can make 11 small ribbons.

Malaki went to Five Below with 2 dollars. After he bought some toys, the cashier gave him back 2 nickels and 5 dimes. How much money did Malaki spend?

Answer explanation

If the cashier gave Malaki back 2 nickels and 5 dimes as change, that means he had 60 cents left over (change) after he spent money on toys.

Number sentence to match story: 200 - ? = 60

200 - ? = 60

200 - 100 = 100

100 - 20 = 80

80 - 20 = 60

Malaki spent 140 cents at the store.

35 + 29 = 45 + ____

Penelope's husband, Steve, was 25 when she graduated college. How old was Steve when Penelope ran for city council?

Answer explanation

Steve was 25 in 2004 when Penelope graduated college. Penelope ran for city council in 2022.

2022 is 18 years later than 2004. If we add 18 to 25, we get 43.

Steve was 43 years old in 2022, so Steve was 43 years old when Penelope ran for City Council.
