Question 1
Round 436,406 to the nearest ten thousand.
- 440,000
- 400,000
- 436,000
- 430,000
440,000
Hint: Look at the digit just to the right of the ten thousands place. If it is 5 or more, round up; if it is less than 5, round down. Then every place to the right becomes 0.
Question 2
Write 1/100 as a decimal.
1/100 = ?
answer box
0.01
Hint: The denominator tells you the last place: 10 → tenths, 100 → hundredths, 1000 → thousandths. Use zeros to fill any empty places.
Question 3
Which product is the greatest?
- 59 × 15
- 59 × 31
- 27 × 23
- 13 × 21
59 × 31
Hint: Estimate each product with friendly numbers. If two estimates are close, work those out exactly.
Question 4
6 × 7 = ?
- 42
- 36
- 48
42
Hint: Think 6 × 6 = 36, then add one more 6.
Question 5
Which is the best estimate for 923 ÷ 6?
- 15
- 300
- 150
- 1500
150
Hint: Change 923 to a nearby number that divides easily by 6, like 900. Then divide the friendly number.
Question 6
Which fraction is greater than 1/2?
- 1/7
- 2/12
- 7/11
- 3/6
7/11
Hint: A fraction is greater than 1/2 when its numerator is more than half of its denominator. Exactly half means it equals 1/2.
Question 7
Solve for a.
a × 4 = 48
answer box
12
Hint: Think: 4 times what number makes 48? Divide 48 by 4 to undo the multiplying.
Question 8
Which is a quadrilateral?
- a trapezoid
- a hexagon
- a triangle
a trapezoid
Hint: Count the sides: it has four.
Question 9
How many inches are in 8 feet?
- 120
- 960
- 72
- 20
- 96
96
Hint: 1 foot = 12 inches. Multiply: 8 × 12.
Question 10
Where do the parentheses go to make 3 + 5 × 2 = 16?
- (3 + 5) × 2
- 3 + 5 × 2 (no parentheses)
- 3 + (5 × 2)
(3 + 5) × 2
Hint: Try each one. (3 + 5) × 2 = 8 × 2 = 16.
