13. Word Problem # 1: Mean Median Mode Problem I have a student who earned a 87, 96 84, and an 88 on his first four Math Quizzes. What grade would he have to receive on his 5 th Math Quiz to have a mean of at least 90 (an A average)? Solution I would first take 90 and multiply it by 5 to get 450. I would then add up the 4 Quiz scores to get a total of 355. I would then subtract 355 from 450 to get a total of 95. So my student must receive at least a 95 on their Quiz to have A average (90% or above). To check the problem first add 87 + 96 + 84 + 88 + 95 = 450 Then divide the total by the number of quizzes (5) 450/5 = 90 So 95 is the correct solution.

14. Word Problem # 2 Ratios & Proportions Problem I have graded 4 Math Projects in 7 minutes. I still have an additional 76 projects to grade. At this rate how long would it take me to grade the 76 remaining projects. Solution I would set up the proportion 4 = 76 7 x I would then solve 4x = 7(76) 4x = 532 4x = 532 4 4 4 4 X = 133 minutes So it would take me about 2 hours and 13 minutes to grade the rest of the projects.

15. Word Problem # 3 Equations Problem For a field trip 8 students rode in cars and the rest filled up 4 buses. How many students were in each bus if 216 students were on the trip? For a field trip 8 students rode in cars and the rest filled up 4 buses. How many students were in each bus if 216 students were on the trip?Solution This is a two step equation 4x + 8 = 216 For my first step I would subtract 4x + 8 = 216 4x + 8 = 216 - 8 - 8 - 8 - 8 _____________ _____________ 4x = 208 4x = 208 For My Final Step I would divide 4x = 208 4 4 x = 52 students per bus x = 52 students per bus
