At a remote treasure camp, Emek and Luna prepared equipment for an expedition. They combined 148 ropes from one chest with 237 ropes from another, then set aside 45 ropes for the climbing team. The remaining ropes were shared equally among 5 exploration teams. By choosing the correct operations in the right order, they organized the supplies fairly and made sure every team received the equipment needed before the journey began.

Hint
Add the ropes from the two chests together.
Emek and Luna combined 148 ropes with 237 ropes. How many ropes did they have before setting any aside?
375385395405Correct! 148 + 237 = 385 ropes before setting any aside.
Check the addition carefully. The two chest amounts should be combined first.

Hint
First subtract the ropes set aside, then divide the rest equally.
After setting aside 45 ropes, the remaining ropes were shared equally among 5 teams. How many ropes did each team receive?
Correct! 385 - 45 = 340, and 340 / 5 = 68 ropes per team.
Remember to complete the operations in order: subtract first, then divide.

Hint
Think about the story steps: combine, set aside, then share.
Which expression shows the correct order of operations needed to find the ropes each team receives?
(148 + 237) / 5 - 45148 + 237 - 45 / 5(148 + 237 - 45) / 5148 + (237 - 45) / 5Correct! The expression follows the story order: add, subtract, then divide.
Check the sequence of events. The ropes are combined before setting some aside and sharing.
