A.7
B.70
C.700
D.470
Explanation: In the number 478, the digit 4 is in the hundreds place, 7 is in the tens place, and 8 is in the ones place. Seven tens equals 70.
2Which expression shows 609 written in expanded form?
A.600 + 90
B.600 + 9
C.60 + 9
D.600 + 90 + 0
Explanation: Expanded form breaks a number into the sum of the values of each of its digits. The number 609 has 6 hundreds, 0 tens, and 9 ones, which is written as 600 + 9.
3Which symbol makes the statement 534 ___ 543 true?
A.>
B.<
C.=
D.+
Explanation: When comparing 534 and 543, both numbers have 5 in the hundreds place. Comparing the tens place, 3 tens is less than 4 tens, so 534 < 543.
4Which list shows the numbers ordered from smallest to largest?
A.382, 328, 415, 409
B.328, 382, 409, 415
C.415, 409, 382, 328
D.328, 409, 382, 415
Explanation: Comparing the hundreds and tens digits: 328 (3 hundreds, 2 tens) < 382 (3 hundreds, 8 tens) < 409 (4 hundreds, 0 tens) < 415 (4 hundreds, 1 ten).
5Maya is skip-counting backward by 10s starting at 430. What are the next three numbers she will say?
A.420, 410, 400
B.440, 450, 460
C.420, 415, 410
D.430, 420, 410
Explanation: Skip-counting backward by 10 means subtracting 10 at each step. Starting from 430: 430 - 10 = 420, 420 - 10 = 410, 410 - 10 = 400.
6A school library has 368 books. What is 368 rounded to the nearest hundred?
A.300
B.360
C.370
D.400
Explanation: To round 368 to the nearest hundred, look at the tens digit (6). Since 6 is 5 or greater, round up to the next hundred, which is 400.
7What is 745 rounded to the nearest ten?
A.700
B.740
C.750
D.800
Explanation: To round 745 to the nearest ten, look at the ones digit (5). When the ones digit is 5 or greater, round up to the next ten, which gives 750.
8A teacher builds a number using 4 flat blocks (hundreds), 12 rod blocks (tens), and 5 unit cubes (ones). What standard number does this represent?
A.412
B.525
C.425
D.515
Explanation: 12 rods represent 12 tens, which is 120 (1 hundred and 2 tens). Combining 4 hundreds + 1 hundred 2 tens + 5 ones gives 5 hundreds, 2 tens, and 5 ones, which equals 525.
9Liam cuts a pizza into 4 equal slices and eats 1 slice. What fraction of the pizza did Liam eat?
A.1/2
B.1/4
C.3/4
D.4/1
Explanation: A fraction shows part of a whole. The denominator represents total equal parts (4) and the numerator represents the parts eaten (1), giving 1/4.
10Which fraction representation shows the largest shaded amount of a single whole circle?
A.1/2
B.1/3
C.1/4
D.1/8
Explanation: When comparing unit fractions (fractions with a numerator of 1), smaller denominators mean the whole is divided into fewer, larger parts. Therefore, 1/2 is larger than 1/3, 1/4, or 1/8.
