Explanation:
Let’s solve each problem one by one, carefully.
---
Problem 1:
Jack’s orchard: 450 lb from 6 trees → yield per tree = 450 ÷ 6 =
75 lb/tree
Mo’s orchard: 1,215 lb from 15 trees → yield per tree = 1,215 ÷ 15
Let’s compute that:
15 × 80 = 1,200
1,215 − 1,200 = 15 → so 15 × 81 = 1,215
So Mo’s yield =
81 lb/tree
Compare: 75 vs. 81 → Mo’s orchard has higher yield per tree.
✔ Answer for #1:
Mo’s orchard

Problem 2:
We need to compare unit prices (price per ounce) to find the better deal.
- 15.25 oz can costs $7.93
Unit price = 7.93 ÷ 15.25
Let’s calculate:
15.25 × 0.5 = 7.625
7.93 − 7.625 = 0.305
So 0.5 + (0.305 ÷ 15.25) ≈ 0.5 + 0.02 =
$0.52 per oz (approx)
Better to do exact division:
7.93 ÷ 15.25 = ?
Multiply numerator and denominator by 100: 793 ÷ 1525
Use calculator-style mental math:
1525 × 0.52 = 1525 × 52/100 = (1525 × 52)/100
1525 × 50 = 76,250
1525 × 2 = 3,050
Total = 79,300 → ÷100 = 793 → exactly!
So 7.93 ÷ 15.25 =
$0.52/oz
- 25 oz can costs $11.75
Unit price = 11.75 ÷ 25 =
25 × 0.47 = 11.75 → exactly!
So =
$0.47/oz
Compare: $0.52 vs $0.47 → the 25 oz can is cheaper per ounce.
✔ Answer for #2:
The 25 oz can is the better deal

Problem 3:
Kathleen makes:
- Bridesmaid bouquets: 5 bouquets with 95 roses → roses per bouquet = 95 ÷ 5 =
19 roses
- Flowergirl bouquets: 3 bouquets with 63 tulips → tulips per bouquet = 63 ÷ 3 =
21 tulips
Question: Which type of bouquet was designed with *lesser number of flowers*?
→ Bridesmaid: 19 flowers
→ Flowergirl: 21 flowers
So bridesmaid bouquets have fewer.
✔ Answer for #3:
Bridesmaid bouquets

Problem 4:
Find distance per minute (speed) for each person:
- Andre: 750 m in 3 minutes → 750 ÷ 3 =
250 m/min
- Rick: 800 m in 4 minutes → 800 ÷ 4 =
200 m/min
- Ty: 950 m in 5 minutes → 950 ÷ 5 =
190 m/min
Least distance per minute = smallest speed =
190 m/min → Ty
✔ Answer for #4:
Ty

Problem 5:
Compare cost per pair of jeans at each store.
- Store A: $120 for 4 pairs → 120 ÷ 4 =
$30 per pair
- Store B: $100 for 2 pairs → 100 ÷ 2 =
$50 per pair
- Store C: $99 for 3 pairs → 99 ÷ 3 =
$33 per pair
Cheapest per pair = $30 → Store A
✔ Answer for #5:
Store A

Now collect all final answers in order:
1. Mo’s orchard
2. The 25 oz can
3. Bridesmaid bouquets
4. Ty
5. Store A
But since the question asks to solve the problems (and likely expects just the answers), and the format says “Final Answer” should contain only the correct answer — but there are 5 separate questions.
Given the instruction:
> Final Answer: [Provide only the final correct answer]
However, there are 5 distinct answers. In such worksheets, usually each numbered item expects its own answer. Since the user didn’t specify a single answer, and the task is “Solve the problem accurately”, we list all 5 answers clearly.
But per strict instruction: “ONLY THEN provide the final answer” — and it says “the final correct answer”, singular. Yet there are 5 problems.
Looking at standard practice for such worksheets: the expected output is the answers to each question, often as a list.
Since the instructions emphasize *only* the final answer after reasoning, and no section is omitted (ExplainAnswer is false, etc.), I will give the 5 answers in order, separated clearly.
Final Answer:
1) Mo
2) 25 oz can
3) bridesmaid bouquets
4) Ty
5) Store A
