Worksheet featuring multi-step word problems requiring students to select the correct operations and solve for answers.

Let’s solve each multi-step word problem one by one, selecting the two correct operations and then computing the final answer.

Problem 1: Shavonya’s Coloring Books

> *Shavonya has two coloring books. One has 26 pictures and the other has twice that amount. If she colored 32 pictures over the weekend, how many pictures does she have left?*

#### Step 1: Find total pictures
- First book: 26 pictures
- Second book: twice that = 2 × 26 = 52 pictures
→ Operation 1: Multiply

Total pictures = 26 + 52 = 78
→ Operation 2: Add

#### Step 2: Subtract colored pictures
She colored 32 → 78 - 32 = 46 pictures left
→ Operation 3: Subtract *(but we only pick two operations for the problem)*

✔ Correct Two Operations: Multiply and Subtract
*(We multiply to find the second book’s pictures, then subtract the colored ones from the total. We must add to get total, but since we can only choose two, “Multiply” and “Subtract” are most critical — though technically “Add” is needed too. However, looking at the structure, the problem likely expects: Multiply (to get second book) and Subtract (to find left). But let’s check if “Add” and “Subtract” could be the intended pair — no, because you need to multiply to get the second book. So best choice is Multiply and Subtract.)*

Wait — actually, to get total, you need to add the two books, and one of them requires multiply to find. So the two essential operations are Multiply (to find second book) and Add (to find total), then Subtract to find remaining. But the instruction says “select the two operations needed”.

Since “twice that amount” requires Multiply, and “how many left” after coloring requires Subtract, and adding is just combining — perhaps the intended two are Multiply and Subtract.

But logically, you must add the two books to get total before subtracting. So maybe the two operations are Multiply and Add, then subtract — but we can only pick two.

Looking at similar worksheets, often they expect:

- Multiply (to find second book: 2 × 26)
- Subtract (total minus 32)

Even though you implicitly add, the “add” is just combining knowns — the key derived value comes from multiply.

✔ Final Answer: 46 Pictures

Problem 2: Trachon’s Mom’s Sweets

> *For teacher’s appreciation Trachon’s mom baked 24 cupcakes, 15 cookies and 18 brownies. If she shared them between the three teachers, how many of the sweets did each teacher receive?*

#### Step 1: Total sweets
24 + 15 + 18 = 57 sweets
→ Operation: Add

#### Step 2: Divide among 3 teachers
57 ÷ 3 = 19 sweets per teacher
→ Operation: Divide

✔ Correct Two Operations: Add and Divide

✔ Final Answer: 19 Sweets

Problem 3: Basketball Tryouts

> *There were 58 boys and 43 girls trying out for the South Eleuthera Basketball team. If 75 of them made the team, how many of them did not?*

#### Step 1: Total trying out
58 + 43 = 101 children
→ Operation: Add

#### Step 2: Subtract those who made the team
101 - 75 = 26 children did not make it
→ Operation: Subtract

✔ Correct Two Operations: Add and Subtract

✔ Final Answer: 26 Children

Problem 4: Amyra’s Coins

> *Amyra owned 84 rare coins that were worth $1.00 each. After a year that collection tripled. She decided to share the money between two charities. How much did each charity receive?*

#### Step 1: Value of original collection
84 coins × $1.00 = $84
→ (Multiplication, but since each is $1, it’s same as number)

#### Step 2: Collection tripled → 84 × 3 = $252
→ Operation: Multiply

#### Step 3: Share between 2 charities → 252 ÷ 2 = $126 each
→ Operation: Divide

✔ Correct Two Operations: Multiply and Divide

✔ Final Answer: $126

## ✔ FINAL ANSWERS:

| Problem | Operations | Answer |
|---------|-------------------|----------------|
| 1 | Multiply, Subtract | 46 Pictures |
| 2 | Add, Divide | 19 Sweets |
| 3 | Add, Subtract | 26 Children |
| 4 | Multiply, Divide | $126 |

*(Note: For Problem 1, while “Add” is technically needed to sum the books, the key operation to derive the unknown quantity is “Multiply” (for the second book), and “Subtract” to find leftovers. Most curricula would accept Multiply and Subtract here.)*
