Jeremy's height is 1.7 meters. Anna's height is 1.63 meters.What is the difference in their height?
Correct Answer
B. 7cm
Explanation
The difference in height between Jeremy and Anna is 7cm. This can be calculated by subtracting Anna's height (1.63 meters) from Jeremy's height (1.7 meters), which gives us a difference of 0.07 meters. Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can convert the difference to centimeters by multiplying 0.07 by 100, resulting in 7cm.

Sue bought 5 bubblegums for 35 cents each. She gave the shopkeeper two dollars.How much change should she get?
Correct Answer
A. 25 cents
Explanation
Sue bought 5 bubblegums for 35 cents each, which means she spent a total of 5 * 35 = 175 cents. She gave the shopkeeper two dollars, which is equal to 200 cents. To find out how much change she should get, we subtract the amount she spent from the amount she gave, which is 200 - 175 = 25 cents. Therefore, she should get 25 cents as change.

One-third of a cake is to be shared equally among three children.What fraction of the whole cake will each child get?
Correct Answer
A. of the whole cake
Explanation
When you have a cake that you want to share equally among three children, you are dividing the cake into three equal parts. Each child gets one of these equal parts, and that's exactly what "1 third" represents.In fractions, "1 third" means dividing something into three equal parts and taking one of those parts. So, when you share a cake equally among three children, each child will get "1 third of the whole cake." This is a fair way to divide the cake, ensuring that each child receives an equal portion, which is a fraction of the whole cake.

Which one of these numbers is 'five thousandths'?
Correct Answer
C. 0.005
Explanation
The number "five thousandths" is represented by the decimal 0.005. This is because the zero before the decimal point indicates that there are no whole numbers, the first digit after the decimal point (0) represents tenths, the second digit (0) represents hundredths, and the third digit (5) represents thousandths. Therefore, 0.005 is the correct representation of "five thousandths".

If f(x) = 3x2 + 2x - 5, what is f'(x), the derivative of f(x)?
Correct Answer
A. 6x + 2
Explanation
The derivative f'(x) of the function f(x) = 3x2 + 2x - 5 is found by applying the power rule. The derivative of 3x2 is 6x, and the derivative of 2x is 2. The constant term -5 has a derivative of 0. Therefore, f'(x) = 6x + 2, making option A the correct answer.

What is the result of the expression 3 × (5 + 2) - 4 ÷ 2?
Correct Answer
C. 19
Explanation
To solve this expression, you should follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which stands for Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders (i.e., powers and square roots, etc.), Multiplication and Division (left-to-right), and Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right).
Let's calculate it step by step:
First, calculate the expression inside the parentheses: 5 + 2 = 7.
Next, calculate the multiplication: 3 × 7 = 21.
Then, perform the division: 4 ÷ 2 = 2.
Finally, subtract the result of the division from the result of the multiplication: 21 - 2 = 19.
So, the result of the expression is 19.

Use the scale on this map.
Which point is 2.5 meters from point X?
Correct Answer
B. Q
Explanation
Using the scale provided on the map, you can measure the distance from point X to the other points. The scale indicates that 2.5 meters is slightly less than three squares on the grid. When measuring from X to each point, point Q is found to be exactly 2.5 meters away from point X. Therefore, point Q is the correct answer, as it matches the required distance using the map's scale.

24.
Correct Answer
D. 44 units
Explanation
The total number of squares in the construction is 40. Since they're of unit area, the volume of a single square is 1 unit cube. Thus, 40 squares would mean 40 unit cubes of area. The structures at the top are triangular prisms, the area of a triangle is given by b x h so each triangle has an area of 1sq. units, assuming each whole brick is split into half to get the prisms, their area amounts to 1/2 cubic units and there are 8 such prisms, thus their total volume would amount to 4 cubic units, therefore the total volume of the structure would be 44 cubic units.

Kate has ten balls in a box. Three balls are red, five are white and two are black. She chooses one ball from the box, without looking.
The probability that the ball is black is:
Correct Answer
C. 0.2
31.
Correct Answer
C. Grey, white, black
Explanation
To determine the order from most likely to least likely, count the number of sections for each color on the spinner. Grey has the most sections with 5, making it the most likely outcome. White follows with 4 sections, making it the next most likely. Black has the fewest sections with 3, making it the least likely outcome. Therefore, the correct order is grey, white, black based on their respective probabilities.

What is the average (mean) of the numbers 4,4,4, 5,6,8,11?
Correct Answer
C. 6
Explanation
The average (mean) of a set of numbers is found by adding up all the numbers and then dividing the sum by the total number of numbers. In this case, the sum of the numbers 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 11 is 42. Since there are 7 numbers in total, the average is 42 divided by 7, which equals 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 6.

Nick went for a bike ride. He wanted to ride 20 kilometres. He rode 14.5 kilometres then took a break.Which one of these shows how much further he needed to go to finish his ride?
Correct Answer
B. 20 - 14.5
Explanation
Nick wanted to ride 20 kilometers, but he only rode 14.5 kilometers before taking a break. To determine how much further he needed to go to finish his ride, we subtract the distance he already rode (14.5 kilometers) from the total distance he wanted to ride (20 kilometers). This can be represented as 20 - 14.5.

Mr Smith buys 72 boxes of candles. Each box contains 24 candles.How many candles does he have?
Correct Answer
E. 1728
Explanation
Mr. Smith bought 72 boxes of candles, and each box contains 24 candles. To find the total number of candles he has, we need to multiply the number of boxes by the number of candles in each box. Therefore, 72 multiplied by 24 equals 1728. So, Mr. Smith has 1728 candles in total.

Alison has an equal number of 5-cent and 10-cent coins. She has no other coins. If she has 90 cents altogether, how many coins must she have?
Correct Answer
D. 12
Explanation
Let's call the number of 5-cent coins Alison has "x." Since she has an equal number of 10-cent coins, she also has "x" of those.Now, let's calculate the total value of the coins she has:The value of each 5-cent coin is 5 cents, and she has "x" of them, so the total value of 5-cent coins is 5x cents.The value of each 10-cent coin is 10 cents, and she has "x" of them, so the total value of 10-cent coins is 10x cents.Altogether, she has 5x cents (from the 5-cent coins) + 10x cents (from the 10-cent coins) = 15x cents.We know that she has 90 cents altogether, so we can set up the equation:15x = 90To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 15:15x / 15 = 90 / 15x = 6So, Alison has 6 of each coin (5-cent and 10-cent coins), which means she has a total of 6 + 6 = 12 coins. Therefore, she must have 12 coins.
37.
Correct Answer
D. 3.2
Explanation
The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. In this case, the square root of 10.24 is 3.2 because:
3.2 * 3.2 = 10.24
When you multiply 3.2 by itself (3.2 squared), it equals 10.24. Therefore, the square root of 10.24 is 3.2.
