2. Graphs are created to __________________________________________

Explanation

Graphs are created to show data in a visual and organized manner. They are used to present information in a clear and concise way, allowing for easy understanding and analysis of the data. Different types of graphs such as line graphs, pie charts, circle graphs, and bar graphs are utilized depending on the type of data and the purpose of the presentation.

3. The value is given to a digit based on its location: tens, hundreds, ones, etc.

Explanation

The given answer is "place value". Place value refers to the value assigned to a digit based on its position or location within a number. It helps determine the actual value of the digit within the number. For example, in the number 532, the digit 5 has a place value of 500 because it is in the hundreds place, the digit 3 has a place value of 30 because it is in the tens place, and the digit 2 has a place value of 2 because it is in the ones place.

4. The amount a container can hold:

Explanation

Capacity refers to the amount that a container can hold. It is a measure of the volume or quantity that can be accommodated within a given space. In this context, both length and temperature are not directly related to the amount a container can hold. Length refers to the measurement of distance, while temperature measures the degree of hotness or coldness. Therefore, capacity is the correct answer in this case.

Submit
5. Acute angles are always ________________________

Explanation

Acute angles are angles that measure less than 90 degrees. This means that they are smaller than a right angle, which measures exactly 90 degrees. Straight angles, on the other hand, measure exactly 180 degrees, so they are larger than acute angles. Therefore, the correct answer is that acute angles are always less than 90 degrees.

Submit
6. A pound is a _____________________________________

Explanation

A pound is a customary unit of weight commonly used in the United States and some other countries. It is equivalent to 16 ounces or approximately 0.4536 kilograms. This unit is typically used to measure the weight of objects such as groceries, animals, or people. It is derived from the Latin word "libra," which means balance or scales.

Submit
7. A difference is ____________________________________________

Explanation

The answer "found by comparing numbers or subtracting" is correct because when we compare numbers, we can determine if one number is greater, smaller, or equal to another. Subtracting numbers also helps us find the difference between them by finding the numerical gap or distance between the two values. Both methods involve comparing or subtracting numbers to find the difference.

Submit
8. Which word means the same as "round"?

Explanation

The word "estimate" means to make an approximate calculation or judgment. Similarly, the word "round" can also mean to approximate or make something whole or complete. Therefore, "estimate" is the word that means the same as "round".

Submit
9. A sum is_____________________________________________________

Explanation

The correct answer is "The total amount of two or more addends." This is because a sum refers to the result of adding two or more numbers together. It represents the total amount obtained by combining the addends.

Submit
10. A right angle is always exactly_________________________

Explanation

A right angle is always exactly 90 degrees because it is defined as the angle formed when two lines intersect and create four 90-degree angles, making a square. This is a fundamental concept in geometry, where a right angle is a crucial element in various geometric shapes and calculations.

Submit
11. An obtuse angle is always __________________________

Explanation

An obtuse angle is always more than a right angle because a right angle measures exactly 90 degrees. An obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

Submit
12.product is ______________________________________________

Explanation

A product is the result when two numbers are multiplied.

Submit
13. Which property states that the "sum of any number and zero is that number"?  7 + 0= 7

Explanation

The Identity Property of Addition states that the sum of any number and zero is that number. In this case, 7 + 0 = 7, which confirms the property.

Submit
14. Numbers or letters that repeat or grow.

Explanation

The term "pattern" refers to a sequence of numbers or letters that repeat or grow in a predictable manner. In this context, it can be inferred that the question is asking for a word that describes a sequence or arrangement that follows a specific pattern. Therefore, "pattern" is the correct answer.

Submit
15. What property states that "the order of the addends or factors does not change the sum or product"? Ex. 6+7= 7+6

Explanation

The commutative property states that the order of the addends or factors does not change the sum or product. This means that you can add or multiply numbers in any order and still get the same result. In the given example, 6+7 is equal to 7+6, which demonstrates the commutative property of addition.
