Answer:
21. What is asked in the problem?
- The problem asks for the number of tablets that should be put in the container to meet the prescription of 0.35 grams of a vitamin.
22. What are given?
- The given information is that the vitamin is available in 0.05 gram tablets, and the prescription is for 0.35 grams.
23. What is the word clue?
- The word clue is "0.05 gram tablets."
24. What operation will be used?
- Division will be used to find the number of tablets needed, as the total quantity (0.35 grams) needs to be divided by the quantity per tablet (0.05 grams).
25. How is the number sentence be written?
- The number sentence is written as: \( \frac{0.35}{0.05} \)
26. What is the answer?
- The answer is the result of the division: \( \frac{0.35}{0.05} = 7 \) tablets should be put in the container.
27. What are given?
- The boy hiked 3.5 km during the camping trip, and this distance is mentioned to be twice as far as the Girl Scouts hiked.
28. How will you solve the problem?
- To find how far the Girl Scouts hiked, divide the boy's distance (3.5 km) by 2.
29. What equation will solve the problem?
- The equation to solve the problem is: \( \text{Distance of Girl Scouts} = \frac{\text{Distance of the boy}}{2} \)
30. What answer will you get?
- \( \text{Distance of Girl Scouts} = \frac{3.5}{2} = 1.75 \) km. Therefore, the Girl Scouts hiked 1.75 km.
