Correct Answer
A. 3Explanation
The number 3 is a common factor of 18 and 24 because it can evenly divide both numbers without leaving a remainder. When 18 is divided by 3, the result is 6, and when 24 is divided by 3, the result is 8. Therefore, 3 is a common factor of both 18 and 24.Rate this question:

Which number goes in the blanks to make both numbers sentences true?11 - __ = 77 + __ =11
-
4
-
5
-
6
-
7
Correct Answer
A. 4Explanation
To make both number sentences true, we need to find a number that when subtracted from 11 results in 77, and when added to 77 results in 11. The only number that satisfies both conditions is 4. When we subtract 4 from 11, we get 7, and when we add 4 to 77, we get 81. Therefore, 4 is the correct answer.Rate this question:

Lee has finished reading 4 out of 10 lessons from his assignment. Which fractional part of the lessons has he completed?
-
1/10
-
1/5
-
2/3
-
2/5
Correct Answer
A. 2/5Explanation
Lee has finished reading 4 out of 10 lessons from his assignment. To find the fractional part of the lessons he has completed, we can divide the number of lessons completed (4) by the total number of lessons (10). This gives us 4/10, which can be simplified to 2/5. Therefore, Lee has completed 2/5 or two-fifths of the lessons.Rate this question:

Marty needs to pack 32 glasses. Each box holds 6 glasses. How many boxes will be completely full?
-
4
-
5
-
6
-

Correct Answer
A. 5Explanation
To determine the number of boxes that will be completely full, we divide the total number of glasses (32) by the number of glasses that can fit in each box (6). This calculation gives us 5 boxes with 30 glasses packed in total, leaving 2 glasses remaining. Since the question asks for the number of completely full boxes, the correct answer is 5.Rate this question:

-
3 + 12
Correct Answer
A. 12 - 3Explanation
Lynn had 12 stamps initially and used 3 of them to mail letters. The expression 12 - 3 represents the subtraction of the number of stamps used from the initial number of stamps, giving the result of how many stamps she still has.Rate this question:

-
6 months
-
9 months
-
12 months
-
18 months
Correct Answer
A. 9 monthsExplanation
LaTina is saving $60 a month for her vacation. To find out how long it will take her to save enough, we divide the total amount she needs to save ($540) by the amount she saves each month ($60). The result is 9, which means it will take her 9 months to save enough for her vacation.Rate this question:

-
$1,200
Correct Answer
A. $1,200Explanation
Anna saves $75 every month. To find out how much she will save in 16 months, we can multiply her monthly savings by the number of months. Therefore, $75 multiplied by 16 equals $1,200.Rate this question:

-
99.95
-
175.55
Correct Answer
A. 99.95Explanation
After writing the check for $37.80, Ron's balance will decrease by that amount. Subtracting $37.80 from his previous balance of $137.75 gives us $99.95, which is his new balance.Rate this question:

-
$1,000
-
$1,200
Correct Answer
A. $600Explanation
Ella spends $50 per month on her cell phone. To find out how much she pays in a year, we need to multiply $50 by 12 (the number of months in a year). $50 x 12 = $600. Therefore, Ella pays $600 for her cell phone in a year.Rate this question:

A dozen pens costs $5.99. About how much does one pen cost?
-
$0.50
-
$0.40
-
$1.00
-
$1.50
Correct Answer
A. $0.50Explanation

Which of these is the best estimate for the width of a piece of paper?
-
1 centimeter
-
25 centimeters
-
1 meter
-
5 meters
Correct Answer
A. 25 centimetersExplanation
The best estimate for the width of a piece of paper is 25 centimeters. This is because 25 centimeters is a reasonable measurement for the width of a standard piece of paper, which is typically around 21-24 centimeters wide. It is a more accurate estimate compared to the other options provided, such as 1 centimeter, 1 meter, or 5 meters, which are either too small or too large for the width of a piece of paper.Rate this question:

3, 4 and 6
-
4, 4 amd 6
-
4, 5, and 6
-

Correct Answer
A. 4, 5, and 6Explanation
The given question asks for Jason's average hits per game for the last three months. The average hits for each month are 3.6, 4.5, and 6.2. To round these averages to the nearest whole number, we round 3.6 to 4, 4.5 to 5, and 6.2 to 6. Therefore, Jason's averages, rounded to the nearest whole number, are 4, 5, and 6.Rate this question:

Anya spent $32 of the $63 she received for her birthday. She spent about
-
1/4 of the amount
-
1/3 of the amount
-
1/2 of the amount
-
2/3 of the amount
Correct Answer
A. 1/2 of the amountExplanation
Anya spent $32 out of the $63 she received for her birthday. To find out what fraction of the amount she spent, we can divide the amount she spent ($32) by the total amount she received ($63). This calculation gives us 32/63, which can be simplified to 16/31. However, none of the given answer choices match this fraction exactly. The closest answer is "1/2 of the amount," which is equal to 31/63. Although it is not an exact match, it is the closest approximation and therefore the correct answer.Rate this question:

Rick decided to run in a marathon, which is slighty more than 26 miles long. About how many kilometers will he run? (Hint: 1 mi = 1.6 km)
-
4 kilometers
-
10 kilometers
-
41 kilometers
-
150 kilometers
Correct Answer
A. 41 kilometersExplanation
Since 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers, to convert 26 miles to kilometers, we multiply 26 by 1.6. This gives us 41.6 kilometers. However, since the question asks for an approximate answer, we round down to the nearest whole number, which is 41 kilometers. Therefore, Rick will run approximately 41 kilometers in the marathon.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 3Explanation
Based on the graph, the number of slices of wheat toast that Jim can eat and consume 270 calories is 3. This can be determined by finding the point on the graph where the calorie intake is equal to 270, and then looking at the corresponding number of slices of wheat toast on the x-axis. In this case, the point where the line intersects the 270 calorie mark corresponds to 3 slices of wheat toast.Rate this question:

Jay's monthly payment for a new car would be about 1/2 of his repair expenses from January to April. Which of these could be the amount of Jay's monthly payment for a new car?
-
$250.00
-
$200.00
-
$300.00
-
$350.00
Correct Answer
A. $250.00Explanation
Jay's repair expenses from January to April are twice the amount of his monthly payment for a new car. Therefore, if we divide the total repair expenses by 2, we can find the monthly payment. If we assume the repair expenses from January to April to be $500, then dividing it by 2 gives us $250, which matches the given answer. Therefore, $250.00 could be the amount of Jay's monthly payment for a new car.Rate this question:

Tim's test scores were 85, 90, 93, and 88. What was his average score?
-
80
-
86
-
89
-
94
Correct Answer
A. 89Explanation
To find the average score, you need to add up all the scores and divide by the number of scores. In this case, the sum of Tim's scores is 85 + 90 + 93 + 88 = 356. Since there are 4 scores, you divide 356 by 4 to get the average score. 356 divided by 4 equals 89. Therefore, Tim's average score is 89.Rate this question:

-
5%
-
10%
-
25%
-
50%
Correct Answer
A. 25%Explanation
The probability of drawing a red marble can be calculated by dividing the number of red marbles (5) by the total number of marbles in the bag (20). This gives us a probability of 5/20, which simplifies to 1/4 or 25%. Therefore, the probability of drawing a red marble is 25%.Rate this question:

Solve the equation for y: y × 8 = 48
-
Y = 6
-
Y = 1
-

A traffic engineer counts the vehicles passing an intersection during a four hour period. The hourly counts were 195, 98, 206, abd 480 vehicles. He reported a total count of 1,079 vehicles. Use estimation to evaluate his result.
-
Correct result
-
Result too high
-
Result too low
