- A.
3
- B.
4
- C.
5
- D.
6
Correct Answer
A. 3Explanation
Luis has 19 soft drink cans and each cooler can hold 6 cans. To find out how many coolers he can fill completely, we divide the total number of cans by the number of cans each cooler can hold. In this case, 19 divided by 6 equals 3 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, Luis can fill 3 coolers completely.Rate this question:

Which number goes in the blanks to make both numbers sentences true?11 - __ = 77 + __ =11
- A.
4
- B.
5
- C.
6
- D.
7
Correct Answer
A. 4Explanation
To make both number sentences true, we need to find a number that when subtracted from 11 results in 77, and when added to 77 results in 11. The only number that satisfies both conditions is 4. When we subtract 4 from 11, we get 7, and when we add 4 to 77, we get 81. Therefore, 4 is the correct answer.Rate this question:

Lee has finished reading 4 out of 10 lessons from his assignment. Which fractional part of the lessons has he completed?
- A.
1/10
- B.
1/5
- C.
2/3
- D.

Marty needs to pack 32 glasses. Each box holds 6 glasses. How many boxes will be completely full?
- A.
4
- B.
5
- C.

Anya spent $32 of the $63 she received for her birthday. She spent about
- A.
1/4 of the amount
- B.
1/3 of the amount
- C.
1/2 of the amount
- D.
2/3 of the amount
Correct Answer
C. 1/2 of the amountExplanation
Anya spent $32 out of the $63 she received for her birthday. To find out what fraction of the amount she spent, we can divide the amount she spent ($32) by the total amount she received ($63). This calculation gives us 32/63, which can be simplified to 16/31. However, none of the given answer choices match this fraction exactly. The closest answer is "1/2 of the amount," which is equal to 31/63. Although it is not an exact match, it is the closest approximation and therefore the correct answer.Rate this question:

Rick decided to run in a marathon, which is slighty more than 26 miles long. About how many kilometers will he run? (Hint: 1 mi = 1.6 km)
- A.
4 kilometers
- B.
10 kilometers
- C.

Jay's monthly payment for a new car would be about 1/2 of his repair expenses from January to April. Which of these could be the amount of Jay's monthly payment for a new car?
- A.
$250.00
- B.
$200.00
- C.
$300.00
- D.
$350.00
Correct Answer
A. $250.00Explanation
Jay's repair expenses from January to April are twice the amount of his monthly payment for a new car. Therefore, if we divide the total repair expenses by 2, we can find the monthly payment. If we assume the repair expenses from January to April to be $500, then dividing it by 2 gives us $250, which matches the given answer. Therefore, $250.00 could be the amount of Jay's monthly payment for a new car.Rate this question:

- A.
80
- B.
86
- C.
89
- D.

Correct Answer
C. 89Explanation
To find the average score, you need to add up all the scores and divide by the number of scores. In this case, the sum of Tim's scores is 85 + 90 + 93 + 88 = 356. Since there are 4 scores, you divide 356 by 4 to get the average score. 356 divided by 4 equals 89. Therefore, Tim's average score is 89.Rate this question:
