socks melissa finds 5 blue socks.
then she finds 3 purple socks.
she writes addition and subtraction stories
about the socks.
red -
3. reasoning
melissa writes this question about the socks:
how many socks did i find in all?
write an addition equation to solve melissa's question. d. a..mp 2.1
socks
4. reasoning
melissa writes another question about the socks:
how many more blue socks than purple socks did i find?
lol. mp.2.1
write a subtraction equation to solve melissa's question.
more blue socks
5. explain
are the addition and subtraction equations
you wrote for melissa in the same fact
family? circle yes or no. use words,
pictures, or equations to explain.

Boris needs to buy plastic spoons. brand a has a box 42 spoons for $2.37. brand b has a box of 72 spoons for $3.57. find the unit price for each brand. then state which brand is the better buy based on the unit price. round your answer to the nearest cent.

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event a↵ect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
