Select all equations that describe the situation.

Kiran’s backpack weighs 3 pounds less than Clare’s backpack. Clare’s backpack weighs 14 pounds. How much does Kiran’s backpack weigh?

Select all equations that describe the situation.

Each notebook contains 60 sheets of paper. Andre has 5 notebooks. How many sheets of paper do Andre’s notebooks contain?

Solve each equation.

2x = 5

y + 1.8 = 14.7

6 = \frac{1}{2}z

3\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2} + w

2.5t = 10

For each equation, draw a tape diagram that represents the equation.

3 \sdot x = 18

3 + x = 18

17 - 6 = x

Find each product.

(21.2) \sdot (0.02)

(2.05) \sdot (0.004)

For a science experiment, students need to find 25% of 60 grams.
  • Jada says, “I can find this by calculating \frac{1}{4} of 60.”
  • Andre says, “25% of 60 means \frac{25}{100} \sdot 60.”
Do you agree with either of them? Explain your reasoning.
