To identify the operations used to solve each of the scenarios given:

  1. Six adult tickets to a movie at the theater cost $52.50. Find the price of one ticket.

    • Operation: Division (to find the cost of one ticket)

  2. Driving at an average speed of 52 miles per hour, how long will it take someone to complete a 390-mile road trip?

    • Operation: Division (to find time, using the formula time = distance/speed)

  3. After falling 23-degrees, the temperature is now 51-degrees. What was the starting temperature?

    • Operation: Addition (to find the original temperature, since you add back the degrees fallen)

  4. Katie has 79 more envelopes to stamp before she can send off her wedding invitations. If she is sending 234 invitations in all, how many has she stamped so far?

    • Operation: Subtraction (to find out how many envelopes she has stamped, you subtract the number left from the total)

You can summarize the operations as follows:

  1. Division
  2. Division
  3. Addition
  4. Subtraction
