I picked #2 for my problem. A certain map uses a scale of 1 inch equals 25 miles. How many miles are represented by 5 inches on this map? There is 3 steps to find the answer to the problem.

Step 1)  Look for your most important information in the math problem.

Step 2) Multiply 25 & 5.

Step 3) You get 125.

So the map represents 125 miles.

I also chose problem 4 which states, A company makes 5 blue cars for every 3 white cars. If the company makes 15 white cars in one day, how many blue cars will it make?

Step1) Count by 5 until you get to 15.

Step2) So the Number of times you counted to get to 15 is 3 right. So now multiply 3 & 3 and you’ll get 9.

So they would make 9 blue cars every time they make 15 white cars.

5)  The vice president of sales took a client out to lunch.  If the lunch was $44.00 and she left a 20% tip,  how much money did she spend on lunch?

Step 1) Write a proportion.  20%/100 =  N/44

Step 2) Cross Multiply.

Step 3) Divide

So she will leave $8.80 for a tip.
