Step-by-step solution for: Solving Two-Step Multiplication Word Problems | Worsheets library
It looks like you've uploaded a math worksheet titled "Grade 3 Math Word Problems Worksheet" with the topic: "Multiplication Word Problems B1." However, I can't directly view or access images. But based on your description and the text you provided, I can help solve the problems listed.
Here are the four word problems from the worksheet:
---
*The dog has walked 250 feet in one minute. The squirrel has taken 3 times as many steps as the dog in the same time. If each step of the squirrel is 20 inches long, how many inches did the squirrel walk in one minute?*
#### Step-by-step Solution:
- Dog walks 250 feet in 1 minute.
- Squirrel takes 3 times as many steps as the dog.
- But we don’t know how many steps the dog took — only distance.
Wait! We need to make an assumption: since we're not told how long the dog’s step is, perhaps we interpret this differently.
But let's re-analyze:
We are told:
- Dog walks 250 feet in one minute.
- Squirrel takes 3 times as many steps as the dog.
- Each squirrel step = 20 inches.
- We need total inches squirrel walked.
But we don’t know how many steps the dog took — unless we assume that "took 3 times as many steps" means the number of steps, but we don’t have info about dog's step length.
Wait — maybe it's asking us to find how far the squirrel walked, given that it took 3 times as many steps as the dog, and each step is 20 inches.
But again, we don’t know how many steps the dog took.
Let’s suppose:
Maybe the dog walked 250 feet, so if we knew its step length, we could compute number of steps. But we don’t.
Alternatively, perhaps the problem assumes that “took 3 times as many steps” implies that the distance covered by the squirrel is 3 times something?
Wait — perhaps there’s a misinterpretation.
Let me read again:
> "The squirrel has taken 3 times as many steps as the dog in the same time."
So, if the dog walked 250 feet in one minute, but we don’t know how many steps it took, we can't proceed unless we assume something.
But perhaps the key is: the dog walked 250 feet, and the squirrel took 3 times as many steps as the dog.
But without knowing the dog’s step length, we cannot determine the number of steps the dog took.
This seems ambiguous.
Wait — maybe the problem intends that the squirrel took 3 times as many steps as the dog, and each squirrel step is 20 inches, and we need to find how far the squirrel walked.
But still, we need to know how many steps the dog took.
Unless… the dog’s step length is implied?
Alternatively, perhaps the dog walked 250 feet, and we are to assume that the number of steps the dog took is equal to the number of feet? That would be a stretch.
Wait — perhaps the dog’s step length is 1 foot? That’s a reasonable assumption for a dog.
Let’s assume:
- Dog walks 250 feet → if each step is 1 foot, then dog took 250 steps.
- Then squirrel took 3 × 250 = 750 steps.
- Each squirrel step = 20 inches.
- So total distance squirrel walked = 750 × 20 = 15,000 inches.
✔ That seems logical.
Answer: The squirrel walked 15,000 inches in one minute.

*She sells bread at $2.00 per loaf. In January of 2016, she sold 148 loaves. What is the total value of money she made in January?*
#### Solution:
- Price per loaf = $2.00
- Number of loaves sold = 148
Total money = 148 × $2.00 = $296.00
✔ Answer: $296.00

*There are two brothers walking in the park. One completed a journey of 100 miles. If the other completed a total of 20 percent of 100 miles, what was the total distance of their combined journey?*
#### Solution:
- First brother: 100 miles
- Second brother: 20% of 100 miles = (20/100) × 100 = 20 miles
- Combined = 100 + 20 = 120 miles
✔ Answer: 120 miles

*Michelle uses recycled paper that was able to save 4 trees for every 100 sheets. If she used 200 sheets of paper last month, how many trees were saved?*
#### Solution:
- 100 sheets → saves 4 trees
- So 200 sheets → 2 × 100 sheets → 2 × 4 = 8 trees
✔ Answer: 8 trees

*After counting all her money, Jane went to her room and had all her money in a piggy bank. She counted $100.00. She spent 10 percent of it on a pair of $10.00 socks. How much more value was left in her piggy bank?*
#### Solution:
- Total money: $100.00
- She spent 10% of it: 10% of $100 = $10.00
- She bought socks for $10.00 → matches.
- Money left = $100 - $10 = $90.00
✔ Answer: $90.00
---
1. 15,000 inches
2. $296.00
3. 120 miles
4. 8 trees
5. $90.00
