    Grade 6 Math word Problems

    With Solutions and Explanations


    By: Hazrat Nur- Lailah D. Bara

    # 1 A car travels at a speed of 65 miles per hour.


    How far will it travel in 5 hours?
    Solution
    During each hour, the car travels 65 miles. For 5 hours
    it will travel:
    65 + 65 + 65 + 65 + 65 = 5 65 = 325 miles

    # 2 In a given school, there 240 boys and 260 girls.


    What is the ratio of the number of boys to the
    total number of pupils in the school?
    Solution
    Ratio of boys to the total number of pupils:

    240:(240+260) or 240:500 or 12:25

    # 3 Find k if 64 k = 4.
    Solution

    Since 64 k = 4 and 64 16 = 4, then


    k = 16

    # 4 Two numbers N and 16 have LCM = 48 and GCF =


    8. Find N.
    Solution
    The product of two integers is equal to the product of
    their LCM and GCF. Hence:
    16 N = 48 8
    N = 48 8 / 16 = 24

    # 5 A car gets 40 kilometers per gallon of gasoline.


    How many gallons of gasoline would the car
    need to travel 180 kilometers?
    Solution
    Each 40 kilometers, 1 gallon is needed. We need
    to know how many 40 kilometers are there in
    180 kilometers?
    180 40 = 4.5 1 gallon = 4.5 gallons
