Here are the step-by-step solutions for each word problem on the worksheet.
1. Alex and Hogan’s Stamps
*
Step 1: Find out how many stamps Hogan has. The problem says he has 150 *more* than Alex.
* Alex has 373.
* $373 + 150 = 523$. So, Hogan has 523 stamps.
*
Step 2: Find out how many they have *altogether*. Add Alex's stamps and Hogan's stamps.
* $373 \text{ (Alex)} + 523 \text{ (Hogan)} = 896$.
2. Farmer Sam’s Animals
*
Step 1: Add up all the different animals to find the total.
* Cows: 730
* Goats: 456
* Chickens: 238
*
Step 2: Calculate the sum.
* $730 + 456 = 1,186$
* $1,186 + 238 = 1,424$
3. Chocolate Rolls
*
Step 1: Identify the starting amount and the ending amount.
* Start: 284 rolls
* Left over: 82 rolls
*
Step 2: Subtract the amount left over from the starting amount to see how many were eaten.
* $284 - 82 = 202$
4. Mrs. Willy’s Roses
*
Step 1: Identify the total number of items and the number of groups.
* Total roses: 65
* Number of friends: 5
*
Step 2: Divide the total roses by the number of friends to share them equally.
* $65 \div 5 = 13$
5. Milk Bottles
*
Step 1: Identify the amount in one bottle and the number of bottles.
* One bottle: 500 ml
* Number of bottles: 4
*
Step 2: Multiply the amount in one bottle by the number of bottles.
* $500 \times 4 = 2,000$
Final Answer:
1. 896 stamps
2. 1,424 farm animals
