  3. Check the answer: Choose the option that matches the calculation, model, or mathematical definition.

Multiply 4 × 3 × 6 to find 72 cubic inches.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

How many centimeters are in 2.5 meters?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 250 centimeters.

  1. Read the math task: Identify the quantities, operation, fraction, decimal, measurement, data relationship, or shape in the question.
  2. Show the reasoning: One meter is 100 centimeters, so 2.5 meters is 250 centimeters.
  3. Check the answer: Choose the option that matches the calculation, model, or mathematical definition.

One meter is 100 centimeters, so 2.5 meters is 250 centimeters.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A trip starts at 8:35 a.m. and ends at 11:20 a.m. How long is the trip?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 2 hours 45 minutes.

  1. Read the math task: Identify the quantities, operation, fraction, decimal, measurement, data relationship, or shape in the question.
  2. Show the reasoning: From 8:35 to 10:35 is 2 hours, then 45 minutes more.
  3. Check the answer: Choose the option that matches the calculation, model, or mathematical definition.

From 8:35 to 10:35 is 2 hours, then 45 minutes more.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A line plot shows five measurements: 1.2, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, and 2.0. What is the difference between the greatest and least measurements?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 0.8.

  1. Read the math task: Identify the quantities, operation, fraction, decimal, measurement, data relationship, or shape in the question.
  2. Show the reasoning: Subtract the least value from the greatest: 2.0 − 1.2 = 0.8.
  3. Check the answer: Choose the option that matches the calculation, model, or mathematical definition.

Subtract the least value from the greatest: 2.0 − 1.2 = 0.8.

6. QuestionMultiple choice
