Remember these!
- Transport problems can use addition for total distance.
- 45 km + 38 km = 83 km total.
- Subtraction compares distances or times.
- Multiplication finds total distance over repeated trips.
- 60 km per day for 5 days = 300 km.
- Transport problems connect maths to real journeys.
- Reading carefully identifies the right operation.
- These problems relate to timetables and travel planning.
