1. QuestionMultiple choice

A school buys 18 packs of paper with 250 sheets in each pack. How many sheets are purchased?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 4,500 sheets.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Multiply 18 packs by 250 sheets: 18 × 250 = 4,500 sheets.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

Multiply 18 packs by 250 sheets: 18 × 250 = 4,500 sheets.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A farm has 6 rows with 35 plants in each row. After 18 plants are removed, how many remain?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 192 plants.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: There are 6 × 35 = 210 plants; 210 − 18 = 192 remain.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

There are 6 × 35 = 210 plants; 210 − 18 = 192 remain.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation represents “five times a number n is 45”?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 5n = 45.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Five times n is written as 5n, so the equation is 5n = 45.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

Five times n is written as 5n, so the equation is 5n = 45.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A tank contains 12.5 liters. A family uses 4.75 liters. How much remains?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 7.75 liters.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Subtract 4.75 from 12.50: 12.50 − 4.75 = 7.75 liters.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

Subtract 4.75 from 12.50: 12.50 − 4.75 = 7.75 liters.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A recipe uses 3/4 cup of milk for one batch. How much milk is needed for 2 batches?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 1 1/2 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 3/4 by 2: 6/4 = 1 1/2 cups.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

Multiply 3/4 by 2: 6/4 = 1 1/2 cups.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangular patio is 12 meters by 7 meters. A 2-meter-wide path is built along one short side. What is the path area?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 14 square meters.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: The path is 2 meters by 7 meters, so its area is 14 square meters.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

The path is 2 meters by 7 meters, so its area is 14 square meters.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A pattern begins 2, 6, 18, 54. What is the next number?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 162.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 18 students.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about place value, operations, fractions, measurement, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: One-fourth of 24 is 6, so three-fourths is 18.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, units, place value, and whether the answer is reasonable.

One-fourth of 24 is 6, so three-fourths is 18.

10. QuestionMultiple choice
