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 gives us 32/63, which simplifies to 16/31. However, none of the given options match this fraction. Therefore, we need to approximate the fraction that is closest to 16/31. The closest option is 1/2 of the amount.Rate this question:

Which of these measurements is about the same as 100 inches? (Hint: 1 in = 2.54 cm)
-
40 centimeters
-
250 centimeters
-
5 meters
-
30 meters
Correct Answer
A. 250 centimetersExplanation
100 inches is about the same as 250 centimeters. This can be calculated by converting inches to centimeters using the given conversion factor of 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Therefore, 100 inches would be equal to 100 * 2.54 = 254 centimeters. Since 254 centimeters is the closest measurement to 250 centimeters, it can be concluded that 250 centimeters is about the same as 100 inches.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
Rick is running in a marathon, which is slightly more than 26 miles long. To convert miles to kilometers, we use the conversion rate of 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers. Since Rick is running slightly more than 26 miles, we can estimate that he will run slightly more than 26 multiplied by 1.6 kilometers. This calculation gives us approximately 41 kilometers. Therefore, Rick will run approximately 41 kilometers in the marathon.Rate this question:

Which of these figures shows a line of symmertry?
-
1
-
2
-
3
-
4
Correct Answer
A. 1Explanation
Figure 1 shows a line of symmetry because it can be divided into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other. The line of symmetry in this figure is vertical, dividing the figure into two identical halves. In contrast, figures 2, 3, and 4 do not have a line of symmetry as they cannot be divided into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other.Rate this question:

Which line creates a line of symmetry in this triangle?
-
Line A
-
Line B
-
Line C
-
Line D
Correct Answer
A. Line DExplanation
Line D creates a line of symmetry in the triangle. A line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into two identical halves. Line D passes through the midpoint of the base of the triangle and is perpendicular to the base. When the triangle is folded along line D, the two resulting halves will perfectly overlap each other. Therefore, line D is the correct answer for creating a line of symmetry in this triangle.Rate this question:

Which of these measurements is equal to the perimeter of the box around the circle?
-
12 inches
-
144 inches
-
4 feet
-
3 yards
Correct Answer
A. 4 feetExplanation
The perimeter of a circle is equal to the circumference, which is the distance around the circle. The formula to calculate the circumference is 2Ï€r, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, since we are talking about a box around the circle, the perimeter would be equal to the circumference plus the sum of the lengths of the sides of the box. Therefore, the measurement that is equal to the perimeter of the box around the circle is 4 feet.Rate this question:

According to the graph, how many slices of wheat toast can Jim eat and only consume 270 calories?
-
2
-
3
-
4
-
5
Correct Answer
A. 3Explanation
Based on the graph, the x-axis represents the number of slices of wheat toast and the y-axis represents the number of calories consumed. By locating the point on the graph where the y-axis intersects with the value of 270 calories, we can determine the corresponding number of slices of wheat toast on the x-axis. In this case, the point intersects at 3 slices of wheat toast, indicating that Jim can eat 3 slices and consume only 270 calories.Rate this question:
