Printable math worksheet with word problems for elementary students.

Here is the solution to each word problem on the worksheet, with a clear explanation for each:

Problem 1:
> Tom has 7 video games and Peter has 5 video games. How many games do they have in total?

Solution:
To find the total number of video games, we add Tom’s games and Peter’s games together.

7 (Tom) + 5 (Peter) = 12

Problem 2:
> There were 5 apples and 8 oranges in the basket. Malik used 2 apples and 2 oranges from the basket to make fruit salad. How many more fruits are left in the basket?

Solution:
First, find the total number of fruits originally in the basket:
5 apples + 8 oranges = 13 fruits

Then, subtract the fruits Malik used:
2 apples + 2 oranges = 4 fruits used

Now, subtract the used fruits from the total:
13 – 4 = 9 fruits left

✔ Answer: There are 9 fruits left in the basket.

*(Note: The question says “how many more fruits are left” — this is likely meant to say “how many fruits are left” — not “more than what.” So we interpret it as asking for the remaining quantity.)*
