A Plan for Problem Solving

Use the four-step plan to solve each problem.

GEOGRAPHY For Exercises 1 and 2, use the poster information about Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.

Visit Crater Lake National Park

90 miles of trails 26 miles of shoreline Boat tours available

Open 24 hours

Directions from Klamath Falls: Take U.S. Highway 97 north 21 miles,

then go west on S.R. 62 for 29 miles.

1. How many more miles of trails are there than miles of shoreline in Crater Lake National Park?

2. How many miles is it from Klamath Falls to Crater Lake National Park?

3. SPORTS Jasmine swims 12 laps every afternoon, Monday through Friday. How many laps does she swim in one week?

4. SPORTS Samantha can run one mile in 8 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take for her to run 5 miles?

5. SPORTS On a certain day, 525 people signed up to play softball. If 15 players are assigned to each team, how many teams can be formed?

6. PATTERNS Complete the pattern: 5, 7, 10, 14, ___, ___, ___

7. SHOPPING Josita received $50 as a gift. She plans to buy two cassette tapes that cost $9 each and a headphone set that costs $25. How much money will she have left?

8. BUS SCHEDULE A bus stops at the corner of Elm Street and Oak Street every half hour between 9 A.M. and 3 P.M. and every 15 minutes between 3 P.M. and 6 P.M. How many times will a bus stop at the corner between 9 A.M. and 6 P.M.?
