WORD PROBLEMS Example: Jenny rides her bike 3 miles per day, 6 days per week. How many miles does she ride her bike each week? You must multiply how many days a week she rides her bike (6) by how many miles a day she rides (3). 6 days per week x 3 miles per day = 18 miles per week 6 x 3 = 18 Once you have your answer, you can check your answer to see if it is correct, using division: 18 miles per week ÷ 6 days = 3 miles per day or 18 miles per week ÷ 3 miles per day = 6 days per week Using division to find the answer to a word problem: Example: The teacher has 20 pieces of paper. If each student gets 4 pieces of paper, how many students are there? You need to divide the total amount of paper (20) by the amount that each student is given (4) to find out how many students there are. 20 pieces of paper ÷ 4 pieces per student = 5 students 20 ÷ 4 = 5 Once you have your answer, you can check your answer to see if it is correct: 5 students x 4 pieces per student = 20 pieces of paper 5 x 4 = 20 © Copyright NewPath Learning.
