  • 2. 

    Graphs are created to __________________________________________

    • Show data (line, pie, circle, bar)

    • Prove that you are right about something.

    • Practice art work

    Correct Answer
    A. Show data (line, pie, circle, bar)
    Explanation
    Graphs are created to show data in a visual and organized manner. They are used to present information in a clear and concise way, allowing for easy understanding and analysis of the data. Different types of graphs such as line graphs, pie charts, circle graphs, and bar graphs are utilized depending on the type of data and the purpose of the presentation.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The value is given to a digit based on its location: tens, hundreds, ones, etc.

    • Sum

    • Place value

    • Difference

    Correct Answer
    A. Place value
    Explanation
    The given answer is "place value". Place value refers to the value assigned to a digit based on its position or location within a number. It helps determine the actual value of the digit within the number. For example, in the number 532, the digit 5 has a place value of 500 because it is in the hundreds place, the digit 3 has a place value of 30 because it is in the tens place, and the digit 2 has a place value of 2 because it is in the ones place.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The amount a container can hold:

    • Capacity

    • Length

    • Temperature

    Correct Answer
    A. Capacity
    Explanation
    Capacity refers to the amount that a container can hold. It is a measure of the volume or quantity that can be accommodated within a given space. In this context, both length and temperature are not directly related to the amount a container can hold. Length refers to the measurement of distance, while temperature measures the degree of hotness or coldness. Therefore, capacity is the correct answer in this case.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Acute angles are always ________________________

    • Larger than a right angle

    • Straight angles

    • Less than 90 degrees.

    Correct Answer
    A. Less than 90 degrees.
    Explanation
    Acute angles are angles that measure less than 90 degrees. This means that they are smaller than a right angle, which measures exactly 90 degrees. Straight angles, on the other hand, measure exactly 180 degrees, so they are larger than acute angles. Therefore, the correct answer is that acute angles are always less than 90 degrees.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A pound is a _____________________________________

    • A customary unit of weight

    • A standard unit for measuring temperature.

    • A kind of cake.

    Correct Answer
    A. A customary unit of weight
    Explanation
    A pound is a customary unit of weight commonly used in the United States and some other countries. It is equivalent to 16 ounces or approximately 0.4536 kilograms. This unit is typically used to measure the weight of objects such as groceries, animals, or people. It is derived from the Latin word "libra," which means balance or scales.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A difference is ____________________________________________

    • Found by adding numbers.

    • Found by comparing numbers or subtracting.

    • Found by multiplying.

    Correct Answer
    A. Found by comparing numbers or subtracting.
    Explanation
    The answer "found by comparing numbers or subtracting" is correct because when we compare numbers, we can determine if one number is greater, smaller, or equal to another. Subtracting numbers also helps us find the difference between them by finding the numerical gap or distance between the two values. Both methods involve comparing or subtracting numbers to find the difference.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which word means the same as "round"?

    • Estimate

    • Sum

    • Quotient

    Correct Answer
    A. Estimate
    Explanation
    The word "estimate" means to make an approximate calculation or judgment. Similarly, the word "round" can also mean to approximate or make something whole or complete. Therefore, "estimate" is the word that means the same as "round".

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A sum is_____________________________________________________

    • The difference of two numbers.

    • The total amount of two or more addends.

    • The greater number.

    Correct Answer
    A. The total amount of two or more addends.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The total amount of two or more addends." This is because a sum refers to the result of adding two or more numbers together. It represents the total amount obtained by combining the addends.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    A right angle is always exactly_________________________

    • 100 degrees

    • 90 degrees-- makes a square

    • 45 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 90 degrees-- makes a square
    Explanation
    A right angle is always exactly 90 degrees because it is defined as the angle formed when two lines intersect and create four 90-degree angles, making a square. This is a fundamental concept in geometry, where a right angle is a crucial element in various geometric shapes and calculations.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    An obtuse angle is always __________________________

    • Less than a right angle

    • More than a right angle

    • 90 degrees- makes a square

    Correct Answer
    A. More than a right angle
    Explanation
    An obtuse angle is always more than a right angle because a right angle measures exactly 90 degrees. An obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    A product is ______________________________________________

    • The result when two numbers are multiplied.

    • The result when two numbers are divided.

    • The result when two numbers are added.

    Correct Answer
    A. The result when two numbers are multiplied.
    Explanation
    A product is the result when two numbers are multiplied.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which property states that the "sum of any number and zero is that number"?  7 + 0= 7

    • Commutative Property

    • Associative Property

    • Identity Property of Addition

    Correct Answer
    A. Identity Property of Addition
    Explanation
    The Identity Property of Addition states that the sum of any number and zero is that number. In this case, 7 + 0 = 7, which confirms the property.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Numbers or letters that repeat or grow.

    • Perimeter

    • Sequence

    • Pattern

    Correct Answer
    A. Pattern
    Explanation
    The term "pattern" refers to a sequence of numbers or letters that repeat or grow in a predictable manner. In this context, it can be inferred that the question is asking for a word that describes a sequence or arrangement that follows a specific pattern. Therefore, "pattern" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    What property states that "the order of the addends or factors does not change the sum or product"? Ex. 6+7= 7+6

    • Associative Property

    • Commutative Property

    • Distributive Property

    Correct Answer
    A. Commutative Property
    Explanation
    The commutative property states that the order of the addends or factors does not change the sum or product. This means that you can add or multiply numbers in any order and still get the same result. In the given example, 6+7 is equal to 7+6, which demonstrates the commutative property of addition.
