Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 12.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: The sum is 60, and 60 divided by 5 equals 12.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

The sum is 60, and 60 divided by 5 equals 12.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A line plot shows distances of 2, 3, 3, 4, and 6 miles. What is the range?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 4 miles.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: The greatest distance is 6 and the least is 2, so the range is 4 miles.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

The greatest distance is 6 and the least is 2, so the range is 4 miles.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A bag has 5 blue, 3 red, and 2 green counters. What is the probability of choosing red?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is rac310rac{3}{10}.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: There are 3 red counters out of 10 total, so the probability is 3/10.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

There are 3 red counters out of 10 total, so the probability is 3/10.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A survey shows 18 students prefer hiking, 12 prefer skating, and 10 prefer skiing. What percent prefer hiking?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 45 percent.
