If 152 different people came to a puppet show every day for 34 days, how many people saw the show?
-
1,164
-
4,560
-
5,168
-
6,530
Correct Answer
A. 5,168Explanation
If 152 different people came to a puppet show every day for 34 days, we can calculate the total number of people who saw the show by multiplying the number of people who came each day (152) by the number of days (34). This gives us 152 x 34 = 5,168. Therefore, 5,168 people saw the show.Rate this question:

Vanessa pitched 5/9 of a softball game. Alicia pitched 2/9 of the game. Which expression shows how much more of the game Vanessa pitched than Alicia?
-
5/9 + 2/9
-

By subtracting the fraction representing the portion of the game Alicia pitched (2/9) from the fraction representing the portion of the game Vanessa pitched (5/9), we can determine the difference between the two fractions, which represents how much more Vanessa pitched than Alicia.Rate this question:

The total value of 3 dimes and 3 nickels is divided equally among 9 people. How much money does each person receive?
-
$0.05
-
$0.06
-
$0.10
Correct Answer
A. $0.05Explanation
Each dime is worth $0.10 and each nickel is worth $0.05. Since there are 3 dimes and 3 nickels, the total value is (3 x $0.10) + (3 x $0.05) = $0.30 + $0.15 = $0.45. If this amount is divided equally among 9 people, each person would receive $0.45 / 9 = $0.05. Therefore, the correct answer is $0.05.Rate this question:
