Question 1: A carton holds a dozen eggs. How many eggs does the carton contain if it is one-third full?
- 3
- 4 (Correct answer)
- 6
- 9
Correct answer: 4

Question 2: What is the weight of the birdseed to the nearest tenth of a gram if Mark purchased 253.64 grams of birdseed.?
- 253.6 (Correct answer)
- 253.8
- 254
- 253
Correct answer: 253.6
Explanation: <br> 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.

Question 4: Which expression below has 5 times the sum of 38 and 76?
- 5 Ć (38 + 76) (Correct answer)
- 5 + (38 + 76)
- 5 + 38 + 76
- 5 Ć 38 + 76
Correct answer: 5 Ć (38 + 76)
Explanation: <br> 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.
Question 5: 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?
- 1
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 3
- None of the above.
Correct answer: 2
Explanation: <br> The multiples of 4 from 4 to 40 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40. <br> The multiples of 5 from 5 to 40 are: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40. <br><br> The numbers common to both lists are 20 and 40. So, there are 2 same numbers in both lists.
Question 6: What number is equal to (7 Ć 3) + 4 Ć (1 + 8) ?
- 43
- 53
- 57 (Correct answer)
- 67
Correct answer: 57
Explanation: <br> To solve the expression, follow the order of operations: parentheses first, then multiplication, and finally addition: <br><br> (7 Ć 3) + 4 Ć (1 + 8) = (21) + 4 Ć (9) = 21 + (36) = 21 + 36 = 57
Question 7: 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?
- 10
- 17
- 28 (Correct answer)
- 38
Correct answer: 28
Explanation: <br> To find the volume of the canister, we multiply its dimensions: <br><br> Volume = Length Ć Width Ć Height <br> = 8 inches Ć 6 inches Ć 8.5 inches <br> = 408 cubic inches <br><br> 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: <br><br> Number of cups of flour = Volume of canister / Volume of one cup of flour <br> ā 408 cubic inches / 14.4 cubic inches <br> ā 28.33 <br><br> Since we are asked to find the value closest to the number of cups, we choose option B, which is 28.
Question 8: 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?

- 24.97 pounds
- 34.97 pounds (Correct answer)
- 189.5 pounds
Correct answer: 34.97 pounds
Explanation: <br> To find the total weight of the packed bag, you need to add the weight of her clothes, shoes, and the empty bag. <br><br> Total weight = Weight of clothes + Weight of shoes + Weight of empty bag <br> = 17.67 pounds + 12.3 pounds + 5 pounds <br> = 34.97 pounds

- $0.25
- $0.50
Correct answer: $0.20
Explanation: <br> To find the price per orange, you divide the total price of the bag of oranges by the number of oranges in the bag. <br><br> Total price of the bag = $3.00 <br> Number of oranges in the bag = 15 <br><br> Price per orange = Total price of the bag / Number of oranges in the bag <br> = $3.00 / 15 <br> = $0.20 <br>
