This document contains a math lesson on large and small numbers, number relationships, and problem solving. It includes warm-up questions about numbers greater than or less than a trillion, billions, and millions. It also has questions about the width of a human hair, distance from Earth to the Sun, and how fast a hummingbird flaps its wings. The document provides answers to the warm-up questions and has an end of week review on number operations and translating word problems into algebraic equations. It concludes with an example of solving a multi-step word problem algebraically to find the individual weights of Mike, Bob, and Don.

9. Number Relationships & Problem Solving
When solving for unknown quantities, always assign the variable
to the smallest quantity. (Smallest may be lightest, least
expensive, shortest, etc.
Solve Algebraically:
4 more than the sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 80
Three more than the sum of two consecutive numbers is 202.
10. Bob weighs 10 more pounds than Mike. Don weighs 15 more
pounds than Bob. The sum of their weight is 440 pounds. How
much does each weigh?
Who weighs the least? We’ll use ‘m’ as the variable.
Now, the key part of our solution: For the other two, what
are their weights in relation to Mike’s weight?
Bob is... m + 10 Don is... m + 10(Bob) + 15, or m + 25
Putting them all together, we have... m + (m + 10) + (m + 25) = 440
3m + 35 = 440 3m = 405 Mike = 135, Bob = 145, Don = 160
