Read carefully, decide which operation 􀀂ts (add, subtract, multiply, or divide), and keep track of signs and units as you work.  \n▷ Example: A diver goes down 12 of 30 ft, then 5 more ft. How far down in all? Work: 12 of 30 is 15. Then add the 5 more: 15 + 5 .  \n⋆ Answer: 20 ft  \n0 1 2 3  \nChoose the operation; track the signs.  \n♦ Word Problems  \n15. A recipe needs 34 cup twice. How much in total?  \n16. The temperature was 5◦ , then dropped 8◦ . What is the new temperature?  \n17. A $40 item is 14 off. What is the discount amount?  \n18. You walk 2.5 mi, then 1.5 mi.

Start by naming the process: Read what the problem is asking, choose the matching rule, write the setup, and then simplify one step at a time. The setup/work is 12 􀀂 30 = 15 . So the 􀀂nal answer is 15.  \n2. A good way to think about this is: Read what the problem is asking, choose the matching rule, write the setup, and then simplify one step at a time. The setup/work is 0.25 􀀂 80 = 20 . So the 􀀂nal answer is 20.  \n3. Step by step: Read what the problem is asking, choose the matching rule, write the setup, and then simplify one step at a time. The setup/work is  \n34 􀀂 20 = 15 . So the 􀀂nal answer is 15.  \n4. Take it one move at a time: Read what the problem is asking, choose the matching rule, write the setup, and then simplify one step at a time. The setup/work is 12 􀀀 5 = 7 . So the 􀀂nal answer is 7.  \n5. Start by naming the process: Read what the problem is asking, choose the matching rule, write the setup, and then simplify one step at a time. The setup/work is 􀀀8 + 3 = 􀀀5 . So the 􀀂nal answer is 􀀀5 .  \n6. A good way to think about this is: Read what the problem is asking, choose the matching rule, write the setup, and then simplify one step at a time. The setup/work is 2.5 + 1 .5 = 4 . So the 􀀂nal answer is 4.  \n7. Step by step: Read what the problem is asking, choose the matching rule, write the setup, and then simplify one step at a time. The setup/work is  \n24 + 14 = 34 . So the 􀀂nal answer is 34 .  \n8. Take it one move at a time: Read what the problem is asking, choose the matching rule, write the setup, and then simplify one step at a time. The setup/work is 10 􀀀 0.5 = 9 .5. So the 􀀂nal answer is 9.5.  \n9.
