It seems like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Length Word Problems," which involves solving word problems related to length measurements. Since the image itself isn't visible in this context, I'll provide a general explanation of how to approach such problems and solve them step by step. If you can describe one or more specific problems from the worksheet, I can help solve them directly.
General Approach to Solving Length Word Problems:
1.
Read the Problem Carefully: Understand what is being asked and identify the key information provided.
2.
Identify the Units: Make sure all measurements are in the same unit (e.g., meters, centimeters, inches). Convert units if necessary.
3.
Determine the Operation: Decide whether addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division is needed based on the problem.
4.
Set Up the Equation: Write an equation that represents the relationship described in the problem.
5.
Solve the Equation: Perform the calculations to find the answer.
6.
Check Your Answer: Ensure the answer makes sense in the context of the problem.
Example Problem and Solution:
Let's assume one of the problems on your worksheet is:
Problem: A school bus is 12 meters long. If a teacher wants to place 4 equally spaced seats along the length of the bus, leaving 1 meter at each end for the driver and passengers to move around, how far apart should the seats be placed?
#### Step-by-Step Solution:
1.
Understand the Problem:
- The bus is 12 meters long.
- There are 1-meter spaces at each end, so the usable length for seating is reduced.
- We need to place 4 seats equally spaced along the remaining length.
2.
Calculate the Usable Length:
- Total length of the bus = 12 meters.
- Space at each end = 1 meter.
- Usable length = Total length - Space at both ends
\[
\text{Usable length} = 12 - 1 - 1 = 10 \text{ meters}
\]
3.
Determine the Number of Gaps:
- If there are 4 seats, there will be 3 gaps between them (since gaps are formed between consecutive seats).
- Let the distance between each pair of seats be \( x \).
4.
Set Up the Equation:
- The total usable length is divided into 3 equal gaps.
\[
3x = 10
\]
5.
Solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{10}{3} \approx 3.33 \text{ meters}
\]
6.
Conclusion:
- The seats should be placed approximately 3.33 meters apart.
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{3.33 \text{ meters}}
\]
