3) ½ X 10 =

Explanation

½ means one of two pieces, or, one half. The question ½ X 10 is the same as asking for half of 10. If you divide ten in half you are left with two groups of five. One of these groups, or one half, would equal 5.

4) What is the next number in this pattern
256, 128, 64, 32, __ 

Explanation

The given pattern is a sequence where each number is halved to get the next number. Starting with 256, we divide it by 2 to get 128. Then, we divide 128 by 2 to get 64, and so on. Therefore, the next number in the pattern would be 16, as we divide 32 by 2.

5) 52 =

Explanation

52 or 5 squared means 5 X 5. The little two lets you know how many times the number is multiplied by itself. 52 means that when you write it out, there will be two 5s in the equation (5 X 5). Bigger numbers mean you multiply it more times, for example 53 would mean 5 X 5 X 5, 54 would mean 5 X 5 X 5 X 5 etc.

6) The 3 dimensions in ‘3D’ are

Explanation

When looking at a two dimensional shape (2D), such as a square, it can be measured in two ways, height (up and down) and width (left and right). A three dimensional shape (3D), such as a cube, can be measured by its height (up and down), width (left and right) and depth (in and out).

Submit
7) 0.60 is the same as

Explanation

0.60 is the same as 6/10 because when we divide 60 by 10, we get 6. The number 6 represents the numerator in the fraction, and the number 10 represents the denominator. Therefore, the fraction 6/10 is equivalent to the decimal 0.60.

Submit
8) A 2D shape with 4 sides and 4 angles could be called

Explanation

Any 2D shape with four sides and four angles (corners) is known as a Quadrilateral (Quad means 4). Shapes that we call squares, rectangles, parallelograms etc. Each have four sides and four angles and so are types of Quadrilaterals. The shapes below are all examples of Quadrilaterals.
