McGraw-Hill Math Grade 5 Answer Key Chapter 6 Lesson 11 Problem Solving
First draw a diagram and then solve.
Question 1.
Ken and Pete built a bridge made of toothpicks. Ken worked 3\(\frac{1}{3}\) hours on the bridge, and Pete worked \(\frac{1}{2}\) hour more than Ken. How much total time did Pete spend working on the bridge?
Ken: 3\(\frac{1}{3}\) hours
Pete: Ken’s hours + \(\frac{1}{2}\) hours
Total Time = _____________________
Answer:
The total number of hours spent working on the bridge is 3\(\frac{5}{6}\) hours.
Explanation:
Given that Ken and Pete built a bridge made of toothpicks. Ken worked 3\(\frac{1}{3}\) hours on the bridge, and Pete worked \(\frac{1}{2}\) hour more than Ken. So the total time did Pete spend working on the bridge is 3\(\frac{1}{3}\)+\(\frac{1}{2}\) which is
= \(\frac{10}{3}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
= \(\frac{20+3}{6}\)
= \(\frac{23}{6}\)
= 3\(\frac{5}{6}\) hours.
Question 2.
At Taylor School. 145 fifth-grade students display their projects in the science fair. 15 more girls than boys display their projects. How many girls and how many boys have entered the science fair?
