How to Write a Real World Equation

The video tutorial guides students through solving a standardized math test question involving real-world equations. It is divided into four parts: writing and solving equations for carnival activities, including bumper cars and Ferris wheel rides, and calculating the cost of additional tickets. Each part involves pausing for student engagement and then walking through the solution step-by-step.

What is the equation to find the number of tickets needed for the bumper cars if a student used 9 tickets for a ball throw and bumper cars?

• 3 + T = 9

• T + 9 = 3

• T - 3 = 9

• 3T = 9

How many tickets are needed for the bumper cars if the equation is 3 + T = 9?

• 9 tickets

• 6 tickets

• 3 tickets

• 12 tickets

If a student used 15 tickets for the Ferris wheel, how many times did she ride it?

• 2 times

• 3 times

• 4 times

• 5 times

What is the equation to find the number of times the Ferris wheel was ridden if each ride costs 5 tickets?

• 5R = 15

• R + 5 = 15

• R - 5 = 15

• 15R = 5

How many additional tickets did the student need to purchase if she had 6 tickets left and needed 10 tickets?

• 5 additional tickets

• 3 additional tickets

• 4 additional tickets

• 2 additional tickets

What was the cost per additional ticket if the student spent $2.60 on 4 additional tickets?

• $0.70

• $0.65

• $0.60

• $0.50

If the student used 24 tickets for a ring toss and roller coaster, how many tickets did she have left from her original 30?

• 6 tickets

• 5 tickets

• 4 tickets

• 7 tickets
