HMH Into Math Grade 4 Module 3 Lesson 4 Answer Key Use Comparisons to Solve Problem Situations 1
A. Draw a box around what you want to know. Then underline the facts you will use.
B. Identify the type of comparison. ____
Explanation:
Multiplication type of comparison
C. Identify the unknown in the comparison. Circle the answer.
Smaller quantity how many times as many
larger quantity how many more/fewer
Explanation:
The black beans are larger in quantity

D. Write an equation to model the problem. Use n for the unknown.
smaller quantity + how many more/fewer = larger quantity
how many times as many × smaller quantity = larger quantity
___________________________
Explanation:
smaller quantity + how many more/fewer = larger quantity
8 + 8 + 8 = n
24 = n
n = 3 x 8
n = 24
E. Solve the problem. Find the value for n that makes the equation true. ___________
Explanation:
n = 3 x 8
n = 24
F. Anton uses ____ cups of black beans.
Explanation:
F. Anton uses 24 cups of black beans.
He uses 8 cups of navy beans.
The recipe calls for 3 times as many black beans as navy beans.
let n be the cups of black beans
n = 3 x 8
n = 24

HMH Into Math Grade 4 Module 3 Lesson 4 Answer Key Use Comparisons to Solve Problem Situations 2
A. Identify the type of comparison. ____
Explanation:
subtraction type of comparison
B. Identify the unknown. ____
Unknown is number of water cans
Explanation:
C. Write an equation to model the comparison and solve the problem. Use n for the unknown.
_____ HMH Into Math Grade 4 Module 3 Lesson 4 Answer Key Use Comparisons to Solve Problem Situations 3 ___ = ____
n = ____
Explanation:
42 – 7 = 35
n = 35
D. The students bring in ____ more cases of water.
Explanation:
The students bring in 35 more cases of water.

Turn and Talk Would you solve the problem differently if it asked how many times as many cases of water as juice? Explain.
Explanation:
7 x n = 42
n = 42 ÷ 7
n = 6
6 times as many cases of water as juice
