Question 1:

A train has 6 passenger cars and each car has 4 columns of seats and each column holds 50 passengers.

If one of the cars has 25 empty seats, and the rest of the cars are full, how many passengers are on the

train?

Which of the following sets of equations correctly represents this situation?

Number of seats per car: 4 × 50 = 200

Total number of seats: 200 − 6 = 194

Number of passengers: 194 − 25 = p

Number of seats per car: 4 × 50 = 200

Total number of seats: 200 × 6 = 1,200

Number of passengers: 1,200 − 25 = p

Number of seats per car: 6 × 50 = 300

Total number of seats: 300 ÷ 4 = 75

Number of passengers: 75 − 25 = p

Number of seats per car: 6 × 50 = 300

Total number of seats: 300 ÷ 4 = 75

Number of passengers: 75 + 25 = p

If one of the cars has 15 people standing in addition to all of the sitting passengers, and the rest of the cars

are full without anyone standing, how many passengers are on the train?

Which of the following sets of equations correctly represents this situation?

Number of seats per car: 40 ÷ 4 = 10

Total number of seats: 10 × 3 = 30

Number of passengers: 30 + 15 = p

Number of seats per car: 4 × 40 = 160

Total number of seats: 160 × 3 = 480

Number of passengers: 480 − 15 = p

Number of seats per car: 40 ÷ 4 = 10

Total number of seats: 10 × 3 = 30

Number of passengers: 30 − 15 = p

Number of seats per car: 4 × 40 = 160

Total number of seats: 160 × 3 = 480

Number of passengers: 480 + 15 = p

Pamela is building a 2 wooden decks. Each deck needs 25 pieces of wood and each piece of wood needs 8

screws. If Pamela already has 40 screws, how many more screws does she need to buy?

Which of the following sets of equations correctly represents this situation?

Number of screws for one deck: 40 × 8 = 320

Number of screws for both decks: 320 ÷ 2 = 160

Screws needed: 160 − 25 = s

Number of screws for one deck: 25 × 8 = 200

Number of screws for both decks: 200 × 2 = 400

Screws needed: 400 − 40 = s

Number of screws for one deck: 25 × 8 = 200

Number of screws for both decks: 200 ÷ 2 = 100

Screws needed: 100 − 40 = s

Number of screws for one deck: 40 × 8 = 320

Number of screws for both decks: 320 × 2 = 640

Screws needed: 640 − 40 = s

6 nails. If Kasey already has 55 nails, how many more nails does she need to buy?

Which of the following sets of equations correctly represents this situation?

Number of nails for one cabinet: 7 + 6 = 13

Number of nails for 5 cabinets: 13 × 5 = 65

Screws needed: 65 − 55 = n

Number of nails for one cabinet: 7 × 6 = 42

Number of nails for 5 cabinets: 42 × 5 = 210

Screws needed: 210 + 55 = n

Number of nails for one cabinet: 7 + 6 = 13

Number of nails for 5 cabinets: 13 × 5 = 65

Screws needed: 65 + 55 = n

Number of nails for one cabinet: 7 × 6 = 42

Number of nails for 5 cabinets: 42 × 5 = 210
