Which of the following word problems can be represented by the equation 4×n+8=16?
A set of 5 baskets holds a total of 16 apples. The first basket has 8 apples and the
other baskets each hold an equal number of apples. How many apples are in each of
the other baskets?
There are 12 baskets, 8 of which are empty. There are 16 apples, with an equal number
of apples in each of the other 4 baskets. How many apples are in each of the 4
baskets?
There are 16 baskets, 8 of which are empty. Each of the other baskets contains 4
apples. How many apples are there in all?
There are 8 baskets with 4 apples in each basket and 16 apples that are not in a
basket. How many apples are there in all?

, Option (A) is correct. If there are 5 baskets and one basket holds 8 apples,
the rest of the apples are split evenly among the other 4 baskets. Therefore,
to find the number of apples in each of the 4 baskets, the equation
4×n+8=16 can be set up, where n is the number of apples in each of the 4
baskets.

Question:
Mr. French's students are working on finding numbers less than 100 that are multiples
of given one-digit numbers. When Mr. French asks them how they know when a
number is a multiple of 6, one student, Crystal, says, "Even numbers are multiples of
6!"
Mr. French wants to use two numbers to show Crystal that her description of multiples
of 6 is incomplete and needs to be refined.
Which of the following numbers are best for Mr. French to use for this purpose?
Select two numbers.
15
16
20
24
27
30

, Options (B) and (C) are correct. The best numbers for Mr. French's purpose
are even numbers that are not multiples of 6, and 16 and 20 are both even
numbers, but they are not multiples of 6. Options (A) and (E) are incorrect
because 15 and 27 are not even numbers, and options (D) and (F) are
incorrect because 24 and 30 are both multiples of 6.
The scenario in a word problem states that an office supply store sells pens in
packages of 12 and pencils in packages of 20.
Which of the following questions about the scenario involves finding a common
multiple of 12 and 20 ?
In one package each of pens and pencils, what is the ratio of pens to pencils?
How many packages of pens and how many packages of pencils are needed to have
the same number of pens as pencils?
If the store sells 4 packages each of pens and pencils, what is the total number of
pens and pencils sold in the packages altogether?
How many gift sets can be made from one package each of pens and pencils if there
are the same number of pens in each set, the same number of pencils in each set, and
all the pens and pencils are used?

Option (B) is correct. The least common multiple of 12 and 20 is 60, and 5
packages of pens and 3 packages of pencils are needed to have 60 of
each writing utensil
Ms. Duchamp asked her students to write explanations of how they found the answer
to the problem 24×15
One student, Sergio, wrote, "I did 24 times 10 and got 240, then I did 24 times 5 and
that's the same as 12 times 10 or 120, and then I put together 240 and 120 and got 360."
