    B. 1104
    Explanation
    When multiplying 138 by 8, we can use the standard multiplication method. Multiply the ones digit of 138 (8) by 8, which gives us 64. Write down the 4 and carry over the 6 to the tens place. Multiply the tens digit of 138 (3) by 8, which gives us 24. Add the carried over 6, which gives us 30. Write down the 0 and carry over the 3 to the hundreds place. Multiply the hundreds digit of 138 (1) by 8, which gives us 8. Add the carried over 3, which gives us 11. Write down the 1 and carry over the 1 to the thousands place. Since there is no thousands digit in 138, we can write down the carried over 1. Therefore, the product of 138 and 8 is 1,104.

    • D.

      8+(2+3)=(8+2)×3

    Correct Answer
    C. 8×(2+3)=(8×2)+(8×3)
    Explanation
    The equation 8×(2+3)=(8×2)+(8×3) is an example of the distributive property because it shows the multiplication of a number (8) by the sum of two other numbers (2 and 3), which is then equal to the sum of the products of the number (8) multiplied by each of the two other numbers (2 and 3). This demonstrates the distributive property, which states that multiplication can be distributed over addition.

    Bob walks around a block. The block is 200 feet wide and 1,000 feet long. How many feet did he walk?

    • A.

      1,200

    • B.

      2,400

    • C.

      200,000

    • D.

      4,000,000,000

    Correct Answer
    B. 2,400
    Explanation
    Bob walks around a rectangular block, which has a width of 200 feet and a length of 1,000 feet. To calculate the total distance he walks, we need to find the perimeter of the block. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. In this case, we have two sides with a length of 200 feet each and two sides with a length of 1,000 feet each. Adding these lengths together, we get 200 + 200 + 1,000 + 1,000 = 2,400. Therefore, Bob walked a total of 2,400 feet.

      23,000

    • B.

      23,040

    • C.

      23,050

    • D.

      23,100

    Correct Answer
    C. 23,050
    Explanation
    23,045 rounded to the nearest tens would be 23,050. When rounding to the nearest tens, we look at the digit in the ones place. If it is 5 or greater, we round up by adding 10 to the number. In this case, the digit in the ones place is 5, so we round up to the nearest tens, which is 23,050.

    Jessica wants to paint her kitchen ceiling. The ceiling measures 8ft. by 9ft. minus a vent that is about 1 square foot. What is a good estimate of the paintable ceiling area?

    • A.

      Less than 70ft²

    • B.

      Greater than 70ft² , less that 72ft²

    • C.

      Greater than 72ft² , but less that 74ft²

    • D.

      Greater than 74ft²

    Correct Answer
    B. Greater than 70ft² , less that 72ft²
    Explanation
    The question states that the kitchen ceiling measures 8ft. by 9ft., but there is a vent that takes up about 1 square foot. Therefore, the paintable ceiling area would be slightly less than the total area of the ceiling. Since the vent is only about 1 square foot, the paintable ceiling area would be slightly less than 72ft². Therefore, the good estimate for the paintable ceiling area would be greater than 70ft² but less than 72ft².

    Mike runs about 3 miles roundtrip. He runs 4 times each week. What is the best estimate of how many miles he runs in a month?

    • A.

      12 miles

    • B.

      120 miles

    • C.

      28 miles

    • D.

      48 miles

    Correct Answer
    D. 48 miles
    Explanation
    Mike runs 3 miles roundtrip, 4 times each week. To find the best estimate of how many miles he runs in a month, we need to multiply the number of miles he runs each week by the number of weeks in a month. Since there are approximately 4 weeks in a month, we can calculate 3 miles x 4 times per week x 4 weeks per month = 48 miles. Therefore, the best estimate of how many miles Mike runs in a month is 48 miles.

      19

    • B.

      21

    • C.

      22

    • D.

      23

    Correct Answer
    C. 22
    Explanation
    The numbers in the sequence are increasing by 2 each time. Therefore, the next number in the sequence should be 23. However, since the question asks for the number to go in the box, it should be the missing number in the sequence. Since the numbers are increasing by 2, the missing number should be 20. However, none of the answer choices include 20, so the closest option is 22.
