Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.72 Write Numerical Expressions from Words and Word Problems skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A camp has 9 cabins with 16 beds each. After 24 beds are reserved, the remaining beds are shared equally among 4 teams. How many beds does each team get? (Write the expression ((9 × 16) − 24) ÷ 4 and evaluate.) (Enter a number.)

Solution & Explanation:Write the expression ((9 × 16) − 24) ÷ 4. Do operations in parentheses first, then multiply/divide, then add/subtract. The value is 30.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A warehouse has 8 pallets of 35 boxes each. After 70 damaged boxes are removed, the rest are shared equally among 5 trucks. How many boxes does each truck get? (Write the expression ((8 × 35) − 70) ÷ 5 and evaluate.) (Enter a number.)

Solution & Explanation:Write the expression ((8 × 35) − 70) ÷ 5. Do operations in parentheses first, then multiply/divide, then add/subtract. The value is 42.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Pick the steps that follow order of operations. Expression: ((96 ÷ (8 + 4)) × (25 − 19)) + 7 Which option shows the correct order-of-operations steps?

AStep 1: Do × and ÷ first (after removing parentheses). Step 2: 96 ÷ 8 = 12 Step 3: 4 × 25 = 100 Step 4: 12 + 100 = 112 Step 5: 112 − 19 = 93 Step 6: 93 + 7 = 100 Final: 100

BStep 1: Work left to right after removing parentheses. Step 2: 96 ÷ 8 = 12 Step 3: 12 + 4 = 16 Step 4: 16 × 25 = 400 Step 5: 400 − 19 = 381 Step 6: 381 + 7 = 388 Final: 388

CStep 1: (8 + 4) = 11 Step 2: Follow order of operations from there. Final: 55

DStep 1: (8 + 4) = 12 Step 2: 96 ÷ 12 = 8 Step 3: (25 − 19) = 6 Step 4: 8 × 6 = 48 Step 5: 48 + 7 = 55 Final: 55

Solution & Explanation:Use order of operations: parentheses first, then multiplication/division, then addition/subtraction. That gives 55 (choice D).
