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.

Which of these measurements is about the same as 100 inches? (Hint: 1 in = 2.54 cm)
- A.
40 centimeters
- B.
250 centimeters
- C.
5 meters

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.
41 kilometers
- D.
150 kilometers
Correct Answer
C. 41 kilometersExplanation
Rick is running in a marathon, which is slightly more than 26 miles long. To convert miles to kilometers, we use the conversion rate of 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers. Since Rick is running slightly more than 26 miles, we can estimate that he will run slightly more than 26 multiplied by 1.6 kilometers. This calculation gives us approximately 41 kilometers. Therefore, Rick will run approximately 41 kilometers in the marathon.Rate this question:

Which of these measurements is equal to the perimeter of the box around the circle?
- A.
12 inches
- B.
144 inches
- C.
4 feet
- D.
3 yards
Correct Answer
C. 4 feetExplanation
The perimeter of a circle is equal to the circumference, which is the distance around the circle. The formula to calculate the circumference is 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, since we are talking about a box around the circle, the perimeter would be equal to the circumference plus the sum of the lengths of the sides of the box. Therefore, the measurement that is equal to the perimeter of the box around the circle is 4 feet.Rate this question:

- A.
2
- B.
3
- C.

- D.
5
Correct Answer
B. 3Explanation
Based on the graph, the x-axis represents the number of slices of wheat toast and the y-axis represents the number of calories consumed. By locating the point on the graph where the y-axis intersects with the value of 270 calories, we can determine the corresponding number of slices of wheat toast on the x-axis. In this case, the point intersects at 3 slices of wheat toast, indicating that Jim can eat 3 slices and consume only 270 calories.Rate this question:
