Let’s go through each problem one by one, step by step.

Problem 1:
Mrs. Hill has 40 markers. They are divided equally into 5 packages. How many markers are in each package?
→ We need to divide 40 by 5.
→ 40 ÷ 5 = 8
→ So, each package has 8 markers.
✔ Check: 5 packages × 8 markers = 40 markers. Correct.

Problem 2:
Mrs. Hill read 4 books. Each book had 17 chapters in it. How many chapters did Mrs. Hill read?
→ Multiply number of books by chapters per book.
→ 4 × 17 = ?
Let’s break it down:
→ 4 × 10 = 40
→ 4 × 7 = 28
→ 40 + 28 = 68
✔ So, she read 68 chapters.
Check: 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 = 68. Correct.

Problem 3:
Which rug should Mrs. Hill buy if she wants the rug with the biggest area? Rug A is 6 feet by 4 feet. Rug B is 7 feet by 3 feet.
→ Area = length × width
Rug A: 6 × 4 = 24 square feet
Rug B: 7 × 3 = 21 square feet
→ 24 > 21 → Rug A is bigger.
✔ So, she should buy Rug A.

Problem 4:
Mrs. Hill has a picture frame that is 12 inches high and 10 inches long. What is the perimeter of the picture frame?
→ Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + height)
→ 2 × (12 + 10) = 2 × 22 = 44 inches
✔ Check: Add all sides: 12 + 10 + 12 + 10 = 44. Correct.
---
Problem 5:
Mrs. Hill is baking bread. She needs 6 cups of flour to bake two loaves of bread. How much flour will she need to make one loaf of bread?
→ Divide total flour by number of loaves.
→ 6 ÷ 2 = 3 cups
✔ Check: 3 cups × 2 loaves = 6 cups. Correct.
