Problem 1

ForLesson 2: Reasoning about Contexts with Tape Diagrams

A school ordered 3 large boxes of board markers. After giving 15 markers to each of 3 teachers, there were 90 markers left. The diagram represents the situation. How many markers were originally in each box?

Tape diagram. Three equal parts labeled, x minus 15, total 90.

Problem 2

ForLesson 3: Reasoning about Equations with Tape Diagrams

The diagram can be represented by the equation $25=2+6x$. Explain where you can see the 6 in the diagram.

Tape diagram, 1 part labeled 2, 6 parts labeled x, total 25.

Problem 3

Match each equation to a story. (Two of the stories match the same equation.)

$3(x+5)=17$
$3x+5=17$
$5(x+3)=17$
$5x+3=17$

Jada’s teacher fills a travel bag with 5 copies of a textbook. The weight of the bag and books is 17 pounds. The empty travel bag weighs 3 pounds. How much does each book weigh?
A piece of scenery for the school play is in the shape of a 5-foot-long rectangle. The set designer decides to increase the length. There will be 3 identical rectangles with a total length of 17 feet. By how much did the designer increase the length of each rectangle?
Elena spends \$17 on gifts for her 5 cousins. Each cousin gets a book that costs \$3 and the same bookmark. How much does each bookmark cost?
Noah packs bags at the food pantry to deliver to families. He packs 5 bags that weigh a total of 17 pounds. Each bag contains 3 pounds of groceries and a packet of papers with health-related information. How much does each packet of papers weigh?
Andre has 3 times as many pencils as Noah and 5 pens. He has 17 pens and pencils all together. How many pencils does Noah have?

Problem 4

Elena walked 20 minutes more than Lin. Jada walked twice as long as Elena. Jada walked for 90 minutes. The equation $2(x+20)=90$ describes this situation. Match each expression with the part of the story it represents.

$x$
$x+20$
$2(x+20)$
90

The number of minutes that Jada walked
The number of minutes that Elena walked
The number of minutes that Lin walked
