    Mr. Cantú will put 1 flag on each table in the cafeteria for a school event. The cafeteria has 15 rows with 5 tables in each row and 12 rows with 4 tables in each row. Mr. Cantú already has 94 flags. How many more flags does he need to buy?

    • 48

    • 19

    • 27

    • 29

    Correct Answer
    A. 29
    Explanation
    Mr. Cantú needs to put a flag on each table in the cafeteria, and there are a total of 15 rows with 5 tables in each row, which gives a total of 15 * 5 = 75 tables. Additionally, there are 12 rows with 4 tables in each row, which gives a total of 12 * 4 = 48 tables. Therefore, the total number of tables in the cafeteria is 75 + 48 = 123. Mr. Cantú already has 94 flags, so he needs to buy 123 - 94 = 29 more flags.

    An employee at a video store worked a total of 90 hours in 3 weeks. She worked 5 days a week. If she worked the same number of hours a day, how many hours did the employee work each day?

    • 8

    • 6

    • 9

    • 12

    Correct Answer
    A. 6
    Explanation
    The employee worked a total of 90 hours in 3 weeks. To find out how many hours she worked each day, we need to divide the total number of hours by the number of days she worked. Since she worked 5 days a week, we divide 90 by 15 (3 weeks x 5 days per week). This gives us 6, so the employee worked 6 hours each day.

    Connie is preparing for a spelling bee. She wants to study the same number of words each week. The table below shows the number of words she plans to have studied by the end of different numbers of weeks.  Connie’s Study Plan    Week  Total Number of Words 1 20 3 60 7 140 9 180   Based on this information, which of the following statements is true?

    • The total number of words studied will be 20 times the number of weeks.

    • The total number of words studied will be 20 more than the number of weeks.

    • The total number of words studied will be 40 more than the number of weeks.

    • The total number of words studied will be 40 times the number of weeks.

    Correct Answer
    A. The total number of words studied will be 20 times the number of weeks.
    Explanation
    The total number of words studied will be 20 times the number of weeks because the number of words studied doubles each week. For example, in week 3, Connie plans to have studied 60 words, which is 20 words more than in week 1. Similarly, in week 7, she plans to have studied 140 words, which is 40 words more than in week 3. This pattern continues, indicating that the total number of words studied will always be 20 times the number of weeks.
