1. QuestionMultiple choice

A line plot shows 1/4, 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 liters. What is the total amount?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 1 3/4 liters.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Add the fractions: 1/4 + 1/4 + 2/4 + 3/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 liters.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

Add the fractions: 1/4 + 1/4 + 2/4 + 3/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 liters.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the mean of 6, 8, 10, and 12?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 9.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: The sum is 36, and 36 divided by 4 is 9.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

The sum is 36, and 36 divided by 4 is 9.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the median of 3, 7, 8, 11, and 15?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 8.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: The values are ordered, and 8 is the middle value.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

The values are ordered, and 8 is the middle value.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A graph shows 240 visitors on Saturday and 185 on Sunday. How many more visitors came Saturday?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 55 visitors.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Subtract 185 from 240: 240 − 185 = 55 visitors.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

Subtract 185 from 240: 240 − 185 = 55 visitors.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

How many cups are in 2 gallons if 1 gallon equals 16 cups?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 32 cups.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Multiply 2 gallons by 16 cups per gallon: 2 × 16 = 32 cups.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

Multiply 2 gallons by 16 cups per gallon: 2 × 16 = 32 cups.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A fair spinner has 8 equal sections, and 3 are blue. What is the probability of landing on blue?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 3/8.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Three of the eight equal sections are blue, so the probability is 3/8.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

Three of the eight equal sections are blue, so the probability is 3/8.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A table records 14, 17, 12, and 17 books read by four groups. What is the most common number?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C
