10 Questions
5.1: Recalling Ways of Solving
Solve each equation. Explain your reasoning.

0.07 = 10m

10.1 = t + 7.2

5.2: Interpreting a/b
Solve each equation.

35 = 7x

35 = 11x

7x = 7.7

0.3x = 2.1

\frac{2}{5} = \frac{1}{2}x

Solve the equation. Try to find some shortcuts.

\frac{1}{6} \sdot \frac{3}{20} \sdot \frac{5}{42} \sdot \frac{7}{72} \sdot x = \frac{1}{384}

5.3: Storytime Again
for each equation, tell a story related to it. State what quantity x describes, and solve the equation.

0.7 + x = 12

\frac{1}{4}x = \frac{3}{2}
