Year 5 Equations Quiz
Help solve the equations to prepare orders for a busy community snack stall. The letter x stands for a number. Use inverse operations to find its value, and check your answers where you can.
Find the missing number
Work out each missing value.
1.The stall has 28 cheese rolls ready. How many more rolls are needed to make 65? Solve: 28 + x = 65.
2.A tray began with some muffins. After 18 were sold, 26 remained. Solve: x − 18 = 26.
3.Each fruit cup contains 6 pieces of fruit. There are 48 pieces altogether. Solve: 6 × x = 48.
- 6
- 8
- 42
- 54
4.Water is shared equally among 4 large bottles. Each bottle gets 7 litres. How many litres were there altogether? Solve: x ÷ 4 = 7.
Equations in the order queue
Solve each equation. Remember that a letter can represent a whole number, a decimal or a fraction.
5.A drink costs $3.50. How much more is needed to reach $8.00? Solve: 3.50 + x = 8.00.
6.A pie is cut into 4 equal slices. Three slices are set aside. What fraction of the pie remains? Solve: 3/4 + x = 1. Use the fraction bar to think about the whole pie.
7.A smoothie uses 2/3 of a cup of yoghurt. The bowl started with 1 cup. How much yoghurt remains? Solve: 1 − 2/3 = x.
8.Each paper bag holds the same number of biscuits. Five bags hold 35 biscuits. Solve: 5 × x = 35. Which inverse operation helps you find x?
- 35 + 5
- 35 − 5
- 35 ÷ 5
- 35 × 5
Check the stall’s calculations
Decide whether each statement is true or false. If it is false, write the corrected result.
9.A helper says 2.5 + x = 6.0 has the solution x = 3.5. Is the solution correct? Check by substituting 3.5 for x.
TrueFalse
10.A helper says 4 × x = 36 has the solution x = 8. Is the solution correct? If not, give the correct value.
TrueFalse
11.A large order is packed into 6 equal boxes. Each box has x snack packs, and 4 extra packs are added. There are 40 packs altogether: 6 × x + 4 = 40. Find x and explain the steps you used.
