Mixed Operations

1. There are 9 pine trees and 6 walnut trees currently in the park. Park workers had to cut down 2 pine
trees that were damaged. How many pine trees will be in the park when the workers are finished?

= 9 pine trees – 2 pine trees were damaged

= 9 – 2=?

= 7 pine trees were left

2. There are 47 rose bushes and 46 popular trees currently in the park. Park workers will plant 11 more
rose bushes today. How many rose bushes will the park have when the workers are finished?

= 47 rose bushes currently in the park + 11 rose bushes that will be planted during that day

= 47 + 11=?

= 58 rose bushes

3. Benny has 5 books. Tom has 4 times more books than Benny. How many books does Tom have?

= 5 books of Benny x 4 books of Tom

= 5 x 4=?

= Tom has 20 books

4. There are 1290 students at a school. If each classroom holds 30 students, how many classrooms are
needed at the school?

= 1290 students at a school ÷ 30 students in each classroom

= 1290 ÷ 30=?

= 43 classrooms needed at the school

Ratios

1. There are 32 empty seats and 18 occupied seats on an airplane. What is the ratio of the number of
empty seats to the number of occupied seats?

Number of empty seats = 32

Number of occupied seats = 18

= 32:18
2. There are 15 men and 18 women running a race. What is the ratio of the number of female runners to
the number of male runners?

Number of female runners = 18

Number of male runners = 15

= 18:15

3. Farah's town voted on a new law. There were 24 votes in favor of the law and 26 votes against the
law. What is the ratio of the number of votes against the law to the number of votes in favor of the law?

Number of votes against the law = 26

Number of votes in favor of the law = 24

= 26:24

4. There are 32 men and 13 women on an airplane. What is the ratio of the number of female
passengers to the number of male passengers?

Number of female passengers = 13

Number of male passengers = 32
