IAR Test 4th Grade Math #1

Question 1

The fruit stand had 46 apples that needed to be displayed in baskets. Each basket has the capacity to carry up to 8 apples. How many baskets does the fruit stand need to keep all of the apples?

Accepted Answer

6

Answer

To find the number of baskets needed, divide the total apples (46) by the capacity of each basket (8). This calculation yields 5 with a remainder of 6 apples. Since these 6 remaining apples also require a place, an additional (sixth) basket is necessary to hold them, ensuring all apples are displayed.

Question 2

Bella purchased four candies. In the sweets aisle, Cathy bought five times as many candies as Bella.
Which equation represents the amount of candies purchased by Cathy?"

Accepted Answer

4 x 5 = 20

Answer

The phrase 'five times as many' indicates a multiplication operation. Bella purchased 4 candies, and Cathy bought five times that amount. Therefore, to find the total number of candies Cathy purchased, you multiply Bella's amount (4) by 5, which is correctly represented by the equation 4 x 5 = 20.

Question 3

Mr. Charles collected ten times the number of eggs as Mr. John. Mr. John gathered a total of 25 eggs.
What was the total number of eggs collected by Mr. Charles?

Accepted Answer

250

Answer

The problem states that Mr. Charles collected 'ten times the number of eggs as Mr. John.' Since Mr. John gathered a total of 25 eggs, you need to multiply Mr. John's total by ten to find the number of eggs collected by Mr. Charles. Therefore, 25 multiplied by 10 equals 250 eggs.

Question 4

In each box, the baker placed 72 cupcakes. 6 boxes were prepared for delivery . She filled each box with the same quantity dozen cupcakes. What was the baker's total number of cupcakes in each box?

Accepted Answer

12

Answer

The question states the baker filled each box with a 'quantity dozen cupcakes.' A 'dozen' is a standard unit of measurement equal to 12. Although the box contains 72 cupcakes, the question seems to be testing the understanding of the term 'dozen' itself, implying that 12 is the base unit being referred to in the context of 'dozen cupcakes'.

Question 5

Which of the equations is correct?

Accepted Answer

600,000 ÷1000 = 600

Answer

To determine the correct equation, perform the division for each option. When dividing by powers of ten, you can remove the same number of zeros from the dividend as there are in the divisor. In option D, 600,000 divided by 1,000 means removing three zeros from 600,000, resulting in 600, which makes the equation correct.
