Solutions

1. 9× 6 =54, so w=6. 8. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, 8 feet equals

8×12=96 inches.
2. To solve the equation, we subtract 37 from both sides:
37+n=115 A regular hexagon has 6 sides of equal length. So, to find
−37 −37 the side length of the hexagon, we divide 96 by 6:
n = 78 10+6
So, n=78. 6 96
−60
3. When w=45, the expression w×10+6 is equal to
36
45×10+6=450+6=456. −36
4. When k=10, the expression 300−2×k is equal to 0
300−2×10=300−20=280.
Since the remainder is 0, we can write 96÷6=10+6=16.
5. We use the associative and commutative properties of
So, the side length of a regular hexagon with a perimeter of
addition to rewrite the expression:
8 feet is 96÷6=16 inches (in).
9+y−4+y+12−y=(9+y)−4+(y+12)−y
9. We first multiply 24×17, then divide by 7 to find the
=(y+9)−4+(12+y)−y
remainder.
=y+(9−4+12)+y−y
=y+17+y−y 24×17=24×(20−3)=480−72=408.

Then, starting with y+17, adding y and subtracting y is the So, 24×17=408. Next, we divide 408 by 7:
same as doing nothing. So, y+17+y−y=y+17. 50+8
9+y−4+y+12−y simplifies to y+17 (or 17+y). 7 408
−350
6. “Seven less than m” means m−7 (not 7−m), and “is” 58
means “equals.” Therefore, our equation is m−7=66. −56
To solve the equation, we add 7 to both sides: 2

m−7=66 So, 24×17 has remainder 2 when divided by 7.

+7 +7 or
m = 73 We begin by finding the remainder when each number is
divided by 7.
So, m=73.
24÷7 has remainder 3.
7. First, we divide 35 by 8: 17÷7 has remainder 3.
4
Then, we multiply the remainders.
8 35 (24×17)÷7 has the same remainder as (3×3)÷7.
−32
3×3=9, and 9÷7 has remainder 2.
3
So, (24×17)÷7 has remainder 2.
35÷8 has quotient 4 and remainder 3. So, a=4 and b=3. 10. To make the first hexagon, Grogg needs 6 toothpicks.
We are looking for a number that has quotient 3 and To make each additional hexagon, he must add 5 more
remainder 4 when divided by 8. This means that 8 goes
toothpicks. So to make 50 hexagons, Grogg needs 6×1
into our number 3 times, with 4 left over.
toothpicks for the first and 5×49 toothpicks for the next 49.
8×3 is 24, plus 4 extra is 28. All together, he needs 6+(5×49)=6+245=251 toothpicks.
So, 28 has quotient 3 and remainder 4 when divided by 8. or
We could think of Grogg starting with 1 toothpick and
adding 5 toothpicks for each hexagon. So, to make n
hexagons, Grogg starts with 1 toothpick and adds 5×n
more toothpicks for a total of 1+5×n toothpicks.
To make 50 hexagons, Grogg needs
1+(5×50)=1+250=251 toothpicks.

11. The time shown on the clock is 6:47. 13. Since there are 60 seconds in 1 minute and 60 minutes in
13 minutes after 6:47 is 7:00. 1 hour, one hour equals 60×60=3,600 seconds.
This leaves 93−13=80 minutes to add. So, two hours equal 3,600×2=7,200 seconds.
60 minutes (1 hour) after 7:00 is 8:00.
This leaves 80−60=20 minutes to add. 14. Since there are 3 feet in 1 yard, and 12 inches in 1 foot,
20 minutes after 8:00 is 8:20. one yard equals 3×12=36 inches.
So, 93 minutes after 6:47 is 8:20. So, 5 yards equal 5×36=180 inches (in).
12. We start with the horizontal equation at the top: 54÷3. 15. One meter equals 100 centimeters, so the perimeter of the
