    Explanation
    The correct answer is 21, 21, twenty one, twenty-one, twentyone. The table provided in the question shows the number of pizzas sold at Donna's Pizza shop over two days. Since the question specifically asks for the number of pizzas sold on Friday, the answer is 21.

    Looking at the same picture graph of fish caught by a fisherman, how many fish were caught altogether? (Remember: 48 fish were caught on Friday) - ProProfs

    Looking at the same picture graph of fish caught by a fisherman, how many fish were caught altogether? (Remember: 48 fish were caught on Friday)

    Explanation
    The correct answer is 84. This is because the question states that 48 fish were caught on Friday, and there is no additional information given about the number of fish caught on any other day. Therefore, we can conclude that the total number of fish caught altogether is 48.

    This sector graph shows three outdoor games played by a group of children. If ten students play soccer, how many students play skateboarding?

    • 12

    • 14

    • 15

    • 16

    Correct Answer
    A. 15
    Explanation
    Based on the sector graph, the number of students playing soccer is represented by one sector, and the number of students playing skateboarding is represented by another sector. Since the sector representing soccer has a measure of 10, and the total number of students playing all three games is represented by the entire circle, the sector representing skateboarding must have a measure of 15. Therefore, the correct answer is 15 students playing skateboarding.

    The diagram below shows a missing piece of a picture made from a pattern of squares.

    • First from left? (one coloured square)

    • Second from left? (two coloured squares)

    • Third from left? (two white squares)

    • Last from left? (one white square)

    Correct Answer
    A. First from left? (one coloured square)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the first from the left because it follows the pattern of alternating between one colored square and two colored squares.

    Peter is to roll a die numbered from 1 to 6.  What is the chance he will get the number 2?

    • 1 chance in 5

    • 2 chances in 5

    • 1 chance in 6

    • 2 chances in 6

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 chance in 6
    Explanation
    The chance of getting a specific number on a fair die is determined by the number of favorable outcomes (getting the number 2) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (the numbers 1 to 6). In this case, there is only one favorable outcome (getting the number 2) out of six possible outcomes (the numbers 1 to 6). Therefore, the chance of getting the number 2 is 1 out of 6, or 1 chance in 6.

    The number of mobile phones sold in two shops last week is shown in the vertical column graph below. How many more mobile phones were sold at Mobile Experts than at Tech Shop? - ProProfs

    The number of mobile phones sold in two shops last week is shown in the vertical column graph below. How many more mobile phones were sold at Mobile Experts than at Tech Shop?

    • 15

    • 20

    • 25

    • 30

    Correct Answer
    A. 15
    Explanation
    Mobile Experts sold 30 mobile phones and Tech Shop sold 15 mobile phones. To find the difference, we subtract the number of mobile phones sold at Tech Shop from the number sold at Mobile Experts: 30 - 15 = 15. Therefore, 15 more mobile phones were sold at Mobile Experts than at Tech Shop.

    Margaret is to spin the arrow of this spinner once.  What is the chance that the arrow will stop on an even number? - ProProfs

    Margaret is to spin the arrow of this spinner once.  What is the chance that the arrow will stop on an even number?

    • Even

    • Likely

    • Unlikely

    • Impossible

    Correct Answer
    A. Unlikely
    Explanation
    The chance of the arrow stopping on an even number is unlikely because the spinner only has one even number (assuming it is a standard spinner with numbers 1-6). Since there are a total of 6 possible outcomes, the probability of landing on an even number is 1/6, which is relatively low compared to the other options.

    This picture graph represents the number of milk bottles sold in Joe's corner-shop over two weeks. If 42 milk bottles were sold in the first week, how many milk bottles were sold altogether? - ProProfs

    This picture graph represents the number of milk bottles sold in Joe's corner-shop over two weeks. If 42 milk bottles were sold in the first week, how many milk bottles were sold altogether?

    • 7

    • 21

    • 63

    • 73

    Correct Answer
    A. 63
    Explanation
    The picture graph shows that 42 milk bottles were sold in the first week. Since the graph represents the number of milk bottles sold over two weeks, we can conclude that the same number of milk bottles were sold in the second week. Therefore, the total number of milk bottles sold altogether is 42 + 42 = 84. However, the answer given is 63, which is incorrect.

    Three different types of flower bunches (bouquets) were on sale last month at Bloom Flowershop. The table below shows the number of two types of bouquets sold. What is the missing number from the table?

    • 123

    • 113

    • 27

    • 17

    Correct Answer
    A. 17
    Explanation
    The missing number from the table can be determined by looking at the pattern in the given numbers. The first number, 123, is the sum of the second and third numbers, 113 + 27. Therefore, to find the missing number, we need to subtract the second number from the first number. 123 - 113 = 10. Similarly, the third number can be found by subtracting the fourth number from the second number. 27 - 17 = 10. Therefore, the missing number is 10.
