    Many firefighters have been called to the scene to fight the wild fire. On Tuesday, there were 356 firefighters. On Wednesday, an additional 89 joined, and on Thursday, another 92 joined. How many firefighters were there?

    • 357 firefighters

    • 537 firefighters

    • 625 firefighters

    • 230 firefighters

    Correct Answer
    A. 537 firefighters
    Explanation
    On Tuesday, there were 356 firefighters. On Wednesday, an additional 89 joined, and on Thursday, another 92 joined. To find the total number of firefighters, we add the number of firefighters on each day: 356 + 89 + 92 = 537 firefighters.

    Freezing happens at 32 degrees. If the weather forecaster says that Tuesday will be 8 degrees above freezing, what temperature will it be?

    • 40 degrees

    • 24 degrees

    • 30 degrees

    • 50 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 40 degrees
    Explanation
    If freezing happens at 32 degrees and Tuesday will be 8 degrees above freezing, then the temperature on Tuesday will be 32 + 8 = 40 degrees.

    If the length of 1 pencil is equal to 12 inches, then the total length of 4 pencils would be 1 yard.

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. FALSE
    Explanation
    This statement is false because 1 yard is equal to 36 inches, not 48 inches (12 inches x 4 pencils). Therefore, the total length of 4 pencils would not be equal to 1 yard.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    On Thursday, another 973 acres burned and on Friday another 72 acres burned. On Saturday, the fire was contained. How many total acres burned?

    • 8,383 acres

    • 2,962 acres

    • 3,838 acres

    • 3,694 acres

    Correct Answer
    A. 3,838 acres
    Explanation
    The total number of acres burned can be calculated by adding the acres burned on each day. On Thursday, 973 acres burned, and on Friday, another 72 acres burned. Adding these two numbers together gives a total of 1,045 acres burned. However, the question states that the fire was contained on Saturday, so no additional acres burned on that day. Therefore, the total number of acres burned is 1,045 acres. However, this answer is not one of the options given, so the correct answer is not available.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    If the weather forecaster says that Wednesday will be 9 degrees below freezing, what temperature will it be?

    • 21 degrees

    • 41 degrees

    • 23 degrees

    • 32 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 23 degrees
    Explanation
    If the weather forecaster says that Wednesday will be 9 degrees below freezing, it means that the temperature will be 9 degrees lower than the freezing point, which is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, the temperature on Wednesday will be 23 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    On Friday, 23 firefighters rested, and another 52 joined up. Now, how many people were fighting the fire?

    • 508 firefighters

    • 612 firefighters

    • 462 firefighters

    • 566 firefighters

    Correct Answer
    A. 566 firefighters
    Explanation
    On Friday, there were already 23 firefighters present. Then, an additional 52 firefighters joined. To find the total number of firefighters, we add 23 and 52 together, which equals 75. Therefore, the correct answer is 566 firefighters.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    On Friday, 2 inches melted and on Saturday another 3 inches melted. Now how much snow was on the ground?

    • 25 inches

    • 27 inches

    • 19 inches

    • 18 inches

    Correct Answer
    A. 19 inches
    Explanation
    Since 2 inches of snow melted on Friday and another 3 inches melted on Saturday, we need to subtract these amounts from the original amount of snow on the ground. Therefore, the original amount of snow on the ground was 19 inches.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    On Tuesday, 12 inches of snow fell. On Wednesday, another 8 inches fell, and on Thursday another 4 inches fell. How much snow was on the ground at the time?

    • 40 INCHES

    • 24 INCHES

    • 30 INCHES

    • 19 INCHES

    Correct Answer
    A. 24 INCHES
    Explanation
    The question states that on Tuesday, 12 inches of snow fell. On Wednesday, another 8 inches fell, and on Thursday, another 4 inches fell. To find the total amount of snow on the ground, we add the three amounts: 12 + 8 + 4 = 24 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 24 inches.
