On Saturday, there were 3,271 people at the baseball game. On Sunday, 5,844 people came to the game. What was the total number of people at the two games?

6
- B.
7
- C.
8

Paul has $0.50 and each pencil costs $0.07. To find the greatest number of pencils Paul can buy, we divide the amount of money he has by the cost of each pencil: $0.50 / $0.07 = 7.14. Since Paul cannot buy a fraction of a pencil, the greatest number of pencils he can buy is 7.Rate this question:

If 468 / 26 = 18, which equation must also be true?
- A.
18 + 26 = 468
- B.
26 x 26 = 468
- C.
18 x 26 = 468
- D.
26 / 18 = 468
Correct Answer
C. 18 x 26 = 468Explanation
The equation 18 x 26 = 468 must also be true because it follows the same pattern as the given equation 468 / 26 = 18. In both equations, one number is divided/multiplied by the other number to give the result of 18/468. Therefore, the equation 18 x 26 = 468 is consistent with the given information.Rate this question:

Lisa drew a horse on a sheet of paper, 8 in. wide and 11 in. long. She needs to find the perimeter of the sheet of paper in order to make a frame kit for it. What is the perimeter of the sheet of paper?
- A.
19 inches
- B.

Ms. Peters bought 32 calculators for her class. Each calculator cost $18. Which is the best estimate of the total cost of the calculators?
- A.
$300
- B.
$400
- C.

$800
Correct Answer
C. $600Explanation
The best estimate of the total cost of the calculators can be found by multiplying the number of calculators (32) by the cost of each calculator ($18). This gives us a total cost of $576. Since $600 is the closest option to $576, it is the best estimate of the total cost of the calculators.Rate this question:

Which statement is correct?
- A.
(4 x 6) x 3 = 4 x (6 x 3)
- B.
(4 x 6) x 3 = 4 x (6 + 3)
- C.
(4 x 6) x 3 = (4 x 6) + 3
- D.
(4 x 6) x 3 = (4 + 6) x 3
Correct Answer
A. (4 x 6) x 3 = 4 x (6 x 3)Explanation
The statement (4 x 6) x 3 = 4 x (6 x 3) is correct because it follows the associative property of multiplication. According to this property, the grouping of numbers being multiplied does not affect the final product. In this case, both sides of the equation result in the same calculation: multiplying 4 by 6, and then multiplying the result by 3.Rate this question:

The pattern in the table shows that the cost of cookies increases by $2.50 for each additional box. Therefore, to find the cost of 6 boxes, we can add $2.50 for each additional box beyond 4. Since there are 2 additional boxes (6-4=2), the cost would be $10.00 + ($2.50 * 2) = $15.00.Rate this question:

On Monday it started to rain at 1:30 P.M. It stopped raining 2 hours 30 minutes later. What time did it stop raining?
- A.
3:00 P.M.

- D.
4:30 P.M.
Correct Answer
C. 4:00 P.M.Explanation
The rain started at 1:30 P.M. and stopped 2 hours and 30 minutes later. To find the stopping time, we add 2 hours and 30 minutes to the starting time. 1:30 P.M. + 2 hours = 3:30 P.M. Then, adding the additional 30 minutes, we get 3:30 P.M. + 30 minutes = 4:00 P.M. Therefore, the rain stopped at 4:00 P.M.Rate this question:

- A.
Centimeter
- B.
Kilogram
- C.
Liter
- D.
Milliliter
Correct Answer
D. MilliliterExplanation
Milliliter is the best unit of measure for measuring the amount of water a bottlecap can hold because it is a smaller unit of volume that is commonly used to measure liquids. A bottlecap typically holds a small amount of water, and milliliter is a more precise and appropriate unit for such measurements compared to centimeter, kilogram, or liter.Rate this question:

Which unit of measure is best for measuring how much a bicycle weighs?
- A.
Gram
- B.
Liter
- C.
Ounce
- D.
Kilogram
Correct Answer
D. KilogramExplanation
The kilogram is the best unit of measure for measuring how much a bicycle weighs because it is a commonly used unit for measuring weight. It is a larger unit than a gram or an ounce, making it more suitable for measuring the weight of larger objects like bicycles. The liter, on the other hand, is a unit of volume and not weight, so it is not appropriate for measuring weight.Rate this question:

Which combination of numbers always results in an odd number?
- A.
Odd x odd
- B.
Even x even
- C.
Odd x even x even
- D.
Even x odd x odd
Correct Answer
A. Odd x oddExplanation
Multiplying two odd numbers will always result in an odd number. This is because when we multiply two odd numbers, each odd number can be expressed as 2n+1, where n is an integer. When we multiply (2n+1) by (2m+1), we get 4nm + 2n + 2m + 1, which can be simplified to 2(2nm+n+m) + 1. Since 2(2nm+n+m) is an even number, adding 1 to it will always result in an odd number. Therefore, the combination odd x odd always results in an odd number.Rate this question:
