Example Question #401 : Numbers And Operations
Amanda has 3 more marbles than Jason and 5 fewer marbles than Kate. Together, they all have 17 marbles. How many marbles does Amanda have?
7 marbles
5 marbles
6 marbles
4 marbles
5 marbles
Amanda has 3 more marbles than Jason and 5 fewer marbles than Kate. Together, they all have 17 marbles.
To solve this problem, we should experiment by picking a number for Amanda. We can pick the number 4.
If Amanda has 4 marbles, this means that Jason has 1 marble, since Amanda has 3 more. If she has 5 fewer marbles than Kate, that means that Kate must have 9 marbles.
This leaves us with:
Amanda - 4 marbles
Jason - 1 marble
Kate - 9 marbles
This adds up to a total of 14 marbles. However, we know that there are a total of 17 marbles. Thus, each child must have 1 more marble than what is stated above. The correct information would be below:
Amanda - 5 marbles
Jason - 2 marble
Kate - 10 marbles
Here, the sum of the marbles is 17 and Amanda still has 3 more marbles that Jason and 5 fewer marbles that Kate.
Thus, the correct answer is that Amanda has 5 marbles.

Example Question #12 : Round Decimals: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Nbt.A.4
Round to the nearest hundredth.
When we round a number to the nearest hundredth we look to the thousandths place to tell us if we round up or down.
If the number in our thousandths place is or greater, we round up. If the number in the thousandths place is
or less, we round down. When we round up, the number in the thousandths place increases by
and all the other numbers to the right become
. When we round down, the number in the thousandths place stays the same and all the other numbers to the right become
.
In this case, is greater than
so our rounded number is
