Operations that undo each other such as division and multiplication are called
- A.
Multiplying operations
- B.
Dividing operations
- C.
Compatible operations
- D.
Inverse operations
Correct Answer
D. Inverse operationsExplanation
Operations that undo each other, such as division and multiplication, are called inverse operations. Inverse operations are used to reverse the effect of a previous operation. For example, if we multiply a number by 5, we can use the inverse operation of division by 5 to undo the multiplication and return to the original number. Similarly, if we divide a number by 3, we can use the inverse operation of multiplication by 3 to reverse the division and obtain the original number.Rate this question:

- A.
Difference
- B.
Inverse operation
- C.
Compatible number
- D.
Rounding
Correct Answer
D. RoundingExplanation
Rounding is the process that determines which multiple of 10, 100, 1000, etc. a number is closest to. It involves approximating a number to the nearest whole number or a specified decimal place. Rounding can be done by looking at the digit to the right of the desired place value and deciding whether to round up or down based on its value. For example, if the digit is 5 or greater, the number is rounded up; if it is less than 5, the number is rounded down. Rounding is commonly used in everyday situations when dealing with measurements, calculations, or estimations.Rate this question:

If a coach has 60 players to transport to a game and each van can hold 8 players, how many vans does he need?
- A.
7 vans
- B.
7 remainder 4
- C.
8 vans
- D.
9 vans
Correct Answer
C. 8 vansExplanation
To transport 60 players, the coach needs to divide them into groups of 8 players per van. Since each van can hold 8 players, the coach needs to divide 60 by 8 to find the number of vans needed. The result is 7 with a remainder of 4. However, since the remainder cannot be transported in a separate van, the coach needs to round up the result to the next whole number. Therefore, the coach needs 8 vans to transport all 60 players.Rate this question:

If a student is giving away his 68 baseball cards and wants to share them as equally as possible with his 9 friends, the student can give each friend 7 cards. This is because 68 divided by 9 equals 7 with a remainder of 5. Since the student wants to share the cards as equally as possible, each friend will receive the same amount of cards, which is 7.Rate this question:

If Jessie has 215 stamps to put in an album where each page can hold 16 stamps, how pages will he need and how many stamps will be on the last page?
- A.
He'll need 14 pages, the last page will have 7 stamps.
- B.
He'll need 13 pages, the last page will have13 stamps
- C.
He'll need 13 pages, the last page will have 7 stamps
- D.
He'll need 14 pages, the last page will have 13 stamps
Correct Answer
A. He'll need 14 pages, the last page will have 7 stamps.Explanation
Since each page can hold 16 stamps and Jessie has 215 stamps, he will need a total of 215/16 = 13.4375 pages. Since we cannot have a fraction of a page, we round up to the nearest whole number, which is 14. Therefore, Jessie will need 14 pages. The remaining stamps after filling up the first 13 pages will be 215 - (13 * 16) = 7. So, the last page will have 7 stamps.Rate this question:

- C.
20
- D.
21 remainder 8
Correct Answer
C. 20Explanation
If there are 617 boys signed up to play soccer in Jacksonville and there are 29 coaches, we can divide the total number of boys by the number of coaches to determine how many boys will be on each team. Dividing 617 by 29 gives us approximately 21 boys per team. However, since there is a remainder of 8, each team will have 21 boys and there will be an additional team with 8 boys. Therefore, the correct answer is 20 boys on each team.Rate this question:

You can estimate that 67,421 divided by 33 will have a quotient that
- A.
Is a five digit number beginning with 2
- B.
Is a four digit number beginning with a 2
- C.
Is a four digit number beginning with a 3
Correct Answer
B. Is a four digit number beginning with a 2Explanation
When dividing 67,421 by 33, we can estimate the quotient by dividing the first digit of the dividend (6) by the divisor (3), which gives us 2. Since the quotient is estimated to be a four-digit number, it must begin with a 2. Therefore, the correct answer is that the quotient is a four-digit number beginning with a 2.Rate this question:

You can estimate that 7864 divided by 24 is
- A.
A 3 digit number beginning with a 3
- B.
A 2 digit number beginning with a 3
- C.
A 3 digit number beginning with a 4
Correct Answer
A. A 3 digit number beginning with a 3Explanation
When dividing a number by another number, the quotient is the result of the division. In this case, we are dividing 7864 by 24. To estimate the quotient, we can round the dividend (7864) down to the nearest multiple of the divisor (24), which is 7848. Then, we divide 7848 by 24, which equals 327. Therefore, the quotient is a 3-digit number beginning with a 3.Rate this question:

In a division problem you can prove your quotient is correct by using the inverse operation of multiplication.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because in division, the quotient is obtained by multiplying the divisor with the quotient. So, to prove that the quotient is correct, we can use the inverse operation of multiplication, which is division, to divide the product by the divisor and check if it equals the quotient. This method validates the correctness of the quotient obtained in the division problem.Rate this question:
