Five-pound bags of oranges cost $3.00 a piece from a fruit stand. Every bag contains fifteen oranges. How much does an orange cost?
Explanation:
To find the price per orange, you divide the total price of the bag of oranges by the number of oranges in the bag.
Total price of the bag = $3.00
Number of oranges in the bag = 15
Price per orange = Total price of the bag / Number of oranges in the bag
= $3.00 / 15
= $0.20
A carton holds a dozen eggs. How many eggs does the carton contain if it is one-third full?
Explanation:
If the carton is 1/3 full of eggs and it holds a dozen eggs, it means there are 1/3 of 12 eggs in the carton. 1/3 x 12 = 4. So, there are 4 eggs in the carton.
The flour storage canister has dimensions of 8 inches by 6 inches by 8.5 inches, forming a right rectangular prism. The volume of a cup of flour is 14.4 cubic inches. Which number most closely corresponds to the canister's capacity in cups of flour?
Explanation:
To find the volume of the canister, we multiply its dimensions:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
= 8 inches × 6 inches × 8.5 inches
= 408 cubic inches
Now, to find the number of cups of flour the canister can hold, we divide the volume of the canister by the volume of one cup of flour:
Number of cups of flour = Volume of canister / Volume of one cup of flour
≈ 408 cubic inches / 14.4 cubic inches
≈ 28.33
Since we are asked to find the value closest to the number of cups, we choose option B, which is 28.
Which expression below has 5 times the sum of 38 and 76?
Explanation:
This expression represents "5 times the sum of 38 and 76." First, you add 38 and 76, which equals 114. Then, you multiply that sum by 5, giving you a value that is 5 times the sum of 38 and 76.
What is the weight of the birdseed to the nearest tenth of a gram if Mark purchased 253.64 grams of birdseed.?
Explanation:
To round 253.64 grams to the nearest tenth, we look at the digit in the hundredth place, which is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, we keep the digit in the tenth place the same. So, the weight rounded to the nearest tenth of a gram is 253.6 grams.

Jessica measured the weight of the things she packed in her travel bag. The empty bag weighed 5 pounds, her clothes 17.67 pounds, and her shoes 12.3 pounds. How much did the packed bag weigh in total, in pounds?
Explanation:
To find the total weight of the packed bag, you need to add the weight of her clothes, shoes, and the empty bag.
Total weight = Weight of clothes + Weight of shoes + Weight of empty bag
= 17.67 pounds + 12.3 pounds + 5 pounds
= 34.97 pounds
Tom wrote two numerical lists. In the first, every number from 4 to 40 was a multiple of 4. In the second, every number from 5 to 40 was a multiple of 5. How many of the same numbers are in both lists?
Explanation:
The multiples of 4 from 4 to 40 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40.
The multiples of 5 from 5 to 40 are: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40.
The numbers common to both lists are 20 and 40. So, there are 2 same numbers in both lists.
What number is equal to (7 × 3) + 4 × (1 + 8) ?
Explanation:
To solve the expression, follow the order of operations: parentheses first, then multiplication, and finally addition:
(7 × 3) + 4 × (1 + 8) = (21) + 4 × (9) = 21 + (36) = 21 + 36 = 57

The ages of the Smith family members are listed in the list below. What age range do they fall into?
3, 5, 9, 13, 37, 40
Explanation:
The range of ages is found by subtracting the smallest age from the largest age.
In this case, the smallest age is 3, and the largest age is 40.
So, the range = 40 - 3 = 37.
