1Maya has 7 stickers. Sam has 4 times as many stickers as Maya. How many stickers does Sam have?
A.11
B.28
C.35
D.21
Explanation: Multiply Maya's stickers by 4: 7 × 4 = 28 stickers.
2A red ribbon is 48 inches long. It is 6 times as long as a blue ribbon. How long is the blue ribbon?
A.8 inches
B.42 inches
C.54 inches
D.288 inches
Explanation: Divide the red ribbon length by 6: 48 ÷ 6 = 8 inches.
3A bakery sold 15 chocolate muffins in the morning. In the afternoon, they sold 3 times as many chocolate muffins as in the morning. Which equation can be used to find m, the total number of chocolate muffins sold in the afternoon?
A.m = 15 + 3
B.m = 15 - 3
C.m = 15 × 3
D.m = 15 ÷ 3
Explanation: '3 times as many' represents multiplication: m = 15 × 3.
4Leo collected 9 baseball cards. Maria collected 54 baseball cards. How many times as many baseball cards did Maria collect compared to Leo?
A.5 times as many
B.6 times as many
C.45 times as many
D.63 times as many
Explanation: Divide Maria's total by Leo's total: 54 ÷ 9 = 6 times as many.
5A teacher has 38 pencils to distribute equally among 5 students. How many pencils will each student receive, and how many pencils will be left over?
A.7 pencils each with 3 left over
B.7 pencils each with 5 left over
C.8 pencils each with 2 left over
D.6 pencils each with 8 left over
Explanation: 38 ÷ 5 = 7 with a remainder of 3 because 5 × 7 = 35 and 38 - 35 = 3.
6A farmer packed 75 eggs into cartons. Each carton holds 6 eggs. What is the minimum number of cartons the farmer needs to pack all 75 eggs?
A.12 cartons
B.13 cartons
C.14 cartons
D.15 cartons
Explanation: 75 ÷ 6 = 12 R3. Since 3 eggs remain after filling 12 cartons, a 13th carton is needed to hold all eggs.
7David has $95 to buy books. Each book costs $8. After buying as many books as possible, how much money will David have remaining?
A.$1
B.$3
C.$7
D.$11
Explanation: 95 ÷ 8 = 11 with a remainder of 7 (8 × 11 = 88; 95 - 88 = 7). David will have $7 left.
8A school bus can seat up to 45 passengers. If 230 students and teachers are going on a field trip, how many buses are needed so that everyone has a seat?
A.4 buses
B.5 buses
C.6 buses
D.7 buses
Explanation: 230 ÷ 45 = 5 R5. Because 5 people are left over with 5 buses, a 6th bus is needed so everyone is seated.
9Which list shows all the factors of 24?
A.1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
B.2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
C.1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24
D.24, 48, 72, 96
Explanation: The factor pairs of 24 are 1×24, 2×12, 3×8, and 4×6. In order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.
10Which of the following numbers is a factor of BOTH 18 and 30?
A.4
B.6
C.8
D.9
Explanation: 6 divides 18 evenly (18 ÷ 6 = 3) and 30 evenly (30 ÷ 6 = 5).
