Question

Directions: Choose which problem the equation could represent.

1.
243 x = 96

A.The length of a field is 243 feet. The width is 96 feet. What is the area of the field?

B.The length of a field is 243 feet. The width is 96 feet. What is the perimeter of the field?

C.Marcel had $243 in the bank at the beginning of the month. By the end of the month she only had $96. How much did she spend during the month?

D.Antoine drove 243 miles in the morning and 96 miles in the afternoon. How many miles did she drive altogether?

Choose the equation which represents each problem.

3.If Jocelyn earns $10 a week for mowing the lawn, in how many weeks will she have $32?

A.

B.

10 + x = 32

C.

x 10 = 32

D.

10x = 32


4.Bay Village is 32 km from Londonderry. If a car traveling between the two cities is 10 km from Londonderry, how far is the car from Bay Village?

A.
x/10= 32

B.

10 + x = 32

C.

x 10 = 32

D.

10x = 32

Answer 1

C, D and B

Answer 2

The first one doesn't seem to have a correct answer among the choices. The equations for the given choices are: a) 243 * 96 = x, b) 2(243 + 96) = x, c) 243 - 96 = x, d) 243 + 96 = x.

2) d

3) b

Answer 3

#1- Marcel. X= the percentage of the total. $98 is 40% of $243

#3-10x=32-10 dollars per week times the number of weeks equals $32

#4-10+x=32

Answer 4

1. None of the answers are correct.

2. There does not appear to be a question 2

3. I suppose the answer is D which would give 3.2 weeks. But she would really have to work 4 weeks to get $40 which would mean she has the required $32. You can't work 0.2 weeks and mow .2 of the lawn realistically can you. Poor question.

4. The answer is B. This is the only question that has an unambiguous question.

I would be interested in knowing where these questions came from. Please E-mail me and let me know. Thamks

Answer 5

1.243x96=area of the field
or 243-x=96 the balance money

2.10x=32

3.10+x=32
