Step-by-step explanation:In math, "what is asked" means identifying the specific information that the problem wants you to find. It's like figuring out the goal of the problem. Here's how to think about "what is asked" in a Grade 5 math problem: - Read carefully: Read the entire problem slowly and try to understand the story it tells.- Look for keywords: Words like "find," "calculate," "solve for," or "determine" often signal what needs to be found.- Ask yourself: What is the problem asking me to do? What kind of answer am I supposed to give? Example: Problem: There are 35 students in a class. Each student needs 2 pencils for art class. What is the total number of pencils needed? What is asked: The problem asks you to find the total number of pencils needed. Let me know if you'd like to practice with some Grade 5 math problems!
