Understand The problem is asking the greatest number of 2-inch by 3-inch rectangular cards that can be cut from a rectangular sheet that measures 2 feet by 3 feet.
Make a Plan Make use of a diagram
Carrying the Plan 1 feet = 12 inches 2 feet = 24 inches 3 feet = 36 inches
9 x 6 = 54 2 inches by 3 inches
9 x 4 = 36 inches by 3 inches

Carrying the Plan
266 + x = 360 X = 360 266 X = 94
55. If today is Tuesday, what day of the week will it be in 100 days from now?
Understand The problem is asking the day of the week will it be in 100 days from now I today is Tuesday.
Make a Plan Identify the information Working backward
Carrying the Plan
1 week = 7 days 100 / 7 = 14 .2 The remainder will be added to the given day, then Tuesday + 2 days = Thursday
56. A bag of marbles can be divided in equal shares among 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 friends. What is the least number of marbles that the bag could contain?
Understand The problem is asking for the least number of marbles that the bag could contain.
Make a Plan Getting the LCM
Carrying the Plan 2 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, to 60 = 30 3 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, to 60 = 20 4 4 to 60 = 15 5 5 to 60 = 12 6 6 to 60 = 10
57. The four-digit number 3AA1 is divisible by 9. Find the value of A.
Understand The problem is asking for the value of A.
Make a Plan Start with the smallest # divisible by A. So that we have 9 and 18 then try it one by one. But we have to subtract first to 4 to the # since 3 + 1 = 4
Carrying the Plan
3+A+A+1=9 4 + 29 = 9 4 29 = 9 4 29 5 ------ = ------- = A = 2.5 29 2
3 + A + A + 1 = 18 4 + 29 = 18 4 29 = 18 4 = 14 29 14 -------- = ----------29 2
= 7
Looking Back Therefore, 3 + 7 + 7 + 1 = 18 18 = 18
58. The figure at the right is formed by eleven squares of the same size. If the area of the figure is 176 sq cm, what is its perimeter?
Understand The problem asking for the perimeter if the area of the figure is 176 sq cm
Make a Plan Guess and Check
Carrying the Plan Length x width 4 x 16 = 64 (2) = 128 4 x 12 = 48 A = s2 16 = s2 4=s 128 + 48 = 176 sq. cm
4 + 4 + 16 + 16 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 20 = 96
