    What is the name of a solid figure with six square faces?

    • Triangle

    • Cube

    • Circle

    • Globe

    Correct Answer
    A. Cube

    Which is a fact family?

    • 2+3=5 And 6+1=7

    • 5-1=4 And 14

    • 1+2=3 And 2+1=3

    • 3+1=4 And 3x3=9

    Correct Answer
    A. 1+2=3 And 2+1=3
    Explanation
    A fact family consists of a set of related addition and subtraction equations that use the same numbers. In this case, the equations 1+2=3 and 2+1=3 form a fact family because they involve the same numbers (1, 2, and 3) and demonstrate the relationship between addition and subtraction.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which one of the following is not a parallelogram?

    • Circle

    • Rectangle

    • Rhombus

    • Square

    If Derek Jeter bats 100 times and gets 40 hits, what is his batting average?

    • 0.318

    • 0.4

    • 0.5

    • 0.245

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.4
    Explanation
    Derek Jeter's batting average is calculated by dividing the number of hits he got (40) by the number of times he batted (100). So, 40 divided by 100 equals 0.4.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    If a truck travels 350 miles on 20 gallons of fuel, how many miles per gallon is the truck getting?

    • 70

    • 5.7

    • 17.5

    • 7000

    Correct Answer
    A. 17.5
    Explanation
    To find the miles per gallon, we divide the total distance traveled (350 miles) by the amount of fuel used (20 gallons). By performing this calculation, we find that the truck is getting 17.5 miles per gallon.

    What does a factor tree show?

    • Number Graphs

    • The Prime Factors Of A Number

    • A Table

    • The Facts

    Correct Answer
    A. The Prime Factors Of A Number
    Explanation
    A factor tree is a diagram that shows the prime factors of a number. It starts with the given number and branches out into its prime factors, which are then further broken down into their own prime factors until all the factors are prime numbers. This helps in understanding the prime factorization of a number and finding its prime factors.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following is largest?

    • Ounce

    • Gallon

    • Pint

    • Liter

    Explanation
    The gallon is the largest unit of measurement among the options given. It is a unit of volume used in both the US customary system and the British imperial system. An ounce is smaller than a pint, a pint is smaller than a liter, and a liter is smaller than a gallon. Therefore, the gallon is the largest unit of measurement among the given options.

    If Tim travels eight miles east and Sam six miles east, how far would they be from one another?

    • 48 Miles

    • 14 Miles

    • Two Miles

    • 10 Miles

    Correct Answer
    A. Two Miles
    Explanation
    Tim and Sam are both traveling in the same direction, east. Therefore, their distances will not add up but rather subtract from each other. Tim travels eight miles east and Sam travels six miles east, so the distance between them would be the difference between these two distances, which is two miles.

    Where is the corner where three or more edges meet in a solid figure?

    • Center

    • Middle

    • Diameter

    • Vertex

    Correct Answer
    A. Vertex
    Explanation
    A vertex is the point where three or more edges meet in a solid figure. It is often referred to as a corner. The other options, center, middle, and diameter, do not accurately describe the point where edges meet in a solid figure.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which figure does not begin and end at the same point?

    • Sphere

    • Solid Mass

    • Open Figure

    • Triangle

    Correct Answer
    A. Open Figure
    Explanation
    An open figure is a geometric shape that does not form a closed loop. It has distinct starting and ending points, unlike a closed figure which connects back to its starting point. A sphere is a closed figure as it forms a continuous loop, starting and ending at the same point. A solid mass is not a figure at all, but rather a three-dimensional object. A triangle is a closed figure as it forms a closed loop with three sides. Therefore, the figure that does not begin and end at the same point is the open figure.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    What is a letter or symbol that stands for a number or numbers?

    • Variable

    • Difference

    • Equal Sign

    • Quotient

    Correct Answer
    A. Variable
    Explanation
    A variable is a letter or symbol that represents an unknown or changing value in mathematics. It is used to represent numbers or quantities that can vary or change in a given equation or problem. In this context, a variable can stand for a single number or a set of numbers, depending on the specific problem being solved. Therefore, a variable is the correct answer as it accurately describes the concept of a letter or symbol representing a number or numbers.

    What is the price of a $300 watch marked down 40 percent?

    • 240

    • 200

    • 120

    • 180

    Correct Answer
    A. 180
    Explanation
    The price of a $300 watch marked down 40 percent can be calculated by multiplying the original price ($300) by the discount percentage (40%) and then subtracting that amount from the original price. Therefore, the price of the watch after the discount would be $180.
