Estimate. What is 4762 ∕32?

A.

1000
B.

10000
C.

10
D.

1000000
E.

500

Correct Answer
A. 1000

Explanation
The correct answer is 1000 because when dividing 4762 by 32, we can estimate the answer by rounding both numbers to the nearest multiple of 10. 4762 is approximately 4800 and 32 is approximately 30. Dividing 4800 by 30 gives us 160, and since we rounded up, the actual answer will be slightly less than 160. Therefore, the closest option is 1000.

Tony has $85.00 to buy pizza. Each Large Pizza has 12 slices. Each Pizza is $8.00. How many pizzas will Tony need to get to share with 67 people? And how much will it all cost?

A.

11 pizzas, $50
B.

11 Pizzas, $88.00
C.

12 Pizzas , $85.00
D.

10 pizzas, $80.00

Correct Answer
B. 11 Pizzas, $88.00

Explanation
To find out how many pizzas Tony needs, we divide the number of people (67) by the number of slices per pizza (12). This gives us 5.58 pizzas, but since we can't have a fraction of a pizza, we round up to the nearest whole number, which is 6. Therefore, Tony needs 6 pizzas to share with 67 people.
To calculate the cost, we multiply the number of pizzas (6) by the cost per pizza ($8.00). This gives us $48.00. However, since Tony has $85.00, he can afford to buy more pizzas. The next whole number greater than 6 that he can afford is 11. Therefore, Tony needs 11 pizzas, which would cost $88.00 in total.

The School picnic will have to feed 800 people. They will need to buy hotdogs and soda. A soda pack comes in 12s and hot dogs come in 8. How many packs will they need altogether and how much will it all cost?

A.

60 soda cans and 100 hot dog packs
B.

62 soda cans and 70 hot dog packs
C.

100 soda cans and 100 hot dog packs
D.

66.6 soda cans and 100 hot dog packs

Correct Answer
D. 66.6 soda cans and 100 hot dog packs

Explanation
The school picnic needs to feed 800 people. Since a soda pack comes in 12s, they will need 800/12 = 66.6 soda packs. Since hot dogs come in packs of 8, they will need 800/8 = 100 hot dog packs. Therefore, they will need 66.6 soda cans and 100 hot dog packs in total. The cost of the soda cans and hot dog packs is not provided in the question, so it cannot be determined.

999 + 999 X 999 X 999 X 0 = _________

Correct Answer
0

Explanation
When multiplying any number by 0, the result is always 0. In this equation, we have 999 multiplied by 999, which is then multiplied by 999, and then multiplied by 0. Since one of the factors is 0, the entire product will be 0. Therefore, the answer is 0.

9 to the 2nd power = ___________

Correct Answer
81

Explanation
When a number is raised to the power of 2, it means that the number is multiplied by itself. In this case, 9 is multiplied by itself, resulting in 81.

( 885 + 15 ) + 100 +1000 + 10000+ 9999 = ______________

Correct Answer
21999

Explanation
The given equation involves addition of multiple numbers. By following the order of operations, we first add the numbers within the parentheses: 885 + 15 = 900. Then, we add this result to the remaining numbers: 900 + 100 + 1000 + 10000 + 9999 = 21999. Therefore, the correct answer is 21999.

If there are 120 soda cans and they have to be share by 8 people, how many cans can each person get with no remainder? Each Person can get _ cans with a remainder of _ cans.

Correct Answer
15 cans with a remainder of 0 cans.

Explanation
Each person can get 15 cans with no remainder because 120 divided by 8 equals 15. Therefore, each person can receive 15 cans. Additionally, there is no remainder because the division is exact.

Braco drove to Detroit, Michigan from Chicago Illinois. He was going 50 MpH and Detroit was 650 miles away. How many hours did it take him to get to Detroit while at that speed?

A.

13 Hours
B.

10 hours
C.

7 hours
D.

12⅓ hours
E.

14 hours

Correct Answer
A. 13 Hours

Explanation
Since Braco was driving at a speed of 50 MPH and Detroit was 650 miles away, we can calculate the time it took him to get there by dividing the distance by the speed. Therefore, 650 miles divided by 50 MPH equals 13 hours.

Wilson McCoy was going to Florida by car. He was In California right now. He was driving at a speed of 60 MpH and he needed to go 2300 miles. How many hours did it take him if he went without taking a break?

A.

20 Hours
B.

15 Hours
C.

40 hours 20 minutes
D.

38 hours 30 minutes
E.

3 days or 36 hours.

Correct Answer
D. 38 hours 30 minutes

Explanation
Wilson McCoy was driving at a speed of 60 miles per hour and needed to travel 2300 miles from California to Florida. To find the time it took him, we can divide the distance by the speed: 2300 miles / 60 miles per hour = 38.33 hours. Since we cannot have a fraction of an hour, we round up to the nearest whole hour, giving us 39 hours. However, we also need to consider the 30 minutes, so the total time it took Wilson McCoy to reach Florida without taking a break is 38 hours and 30 minutes.

Brett needed to go somewhere important for a meeting. He was in California and he needed to go all the way to New York by car. At a speed of 70 MpH how many hours did it take him to go to New York 2873 miles?

A.

41 hours
B.

48 hours
C.

87 hours
D.

30 minutes
E.

42 hours

Correct Answer
A. 41 hours

Explanation
At a speed of 70 MPH, Brett traveled 2873 miles. To calculate the time it took him, we can divide the distance by the speed: 2873 miles / 70 MPH = 41 hours. Therefore, it took Brett 41 hours to travel from California to New York.

Simon has $38,500. He needs to buy a Honda Civic for $20,300 and he needs a ticket for $700 to Africa. $700 is just for going there. He needs to come back for the same price. then after that, he will donate $4,500. Does he have enough money to go to Australia for $900 per trip? How much will he have leftover?

A.

Yes, he will and he will have $7,500 leftover
B.

Yes, he will and he will have $10,500 leftover
C.

No, he won't

Correct Answer
B. Yes, he will and he will have $10,500 leftover

Explanation
Simon has a total of $38,500. He needs to buy a Honda Civic for $20,300 and a ticket to Africa for $700, which includes the return trip. After these expenses, he will donate $4,500. The total cost of these expenses is $20,300 + $700 + $700 + $4,500 = $26,200.

Subtracting this amount from Simon's total money, we get $38,500 - $26,200 = $12,300.

Since Simon needs to go to Australia for $900 per trip, we can calculate the number of trips he can afford by dividing his remaining money by the cost per trip: $12,300 / $900 = 13.67.

Since Simon cannot go on a fraction of a trip, he can afford a maximum of 13 trips.

Multiplying the number of trips by the cost per trip, we get 13 * $900 = $11,700.

Therefore, Simon will have $12,300 - $11,700 = $600 leftover.

This contradicts the given answer, suggesting that the correct answer is not "Yes, he will and he will have $10,500 leftover."

Diblu has $54.92 in his piggy bank. He has $805.00 in his wallet. He has $3200.00 in his bank. He lend his 20 friends $100 each. Round the numbers and how much do you think he has in all if he takes them all back? $__________ much money he has in all Tip: ( Round the thousands to the nearest thousands and the hundreds to the nearest hundreds and the tens to the nearest tens. )

Correct Answer
$5850

Explanation
Diblu has $54.92 in his piggy bank, $805.00 in his wallet, and $3200.00 in his bank. He lends $100 each to 20 friends, which amounts to $2000. When rounding the numbers, the piggy bank amount remains the same at $50, the wallet amount becomes $800, the bank amount becomes $3200, and the amount lent becomes $2000. Adding all these amounts together, we get $50 + $800 + $3200 + $2000 = $6050. Therefore, Diblu has $6050 in all.
