Question 1 of 5
Tamison bought 20 stamps for 29¢ each and 40 stamps for 42¢ each. If she gave the postal worker $25, how much change did she receive?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: First, calculate the total cost of the 20 stamps bought at 29¢ each: 20 stamps * 29¢ = $5.80. Next, calculate the total cost of the 40 stamps bought at 42¢ each: 40 stamps * 42¢ = $16.80. The total cost of all stamps is $5.80 + $16.80 = $22.60. If Tamison gave $25 to the postal worker, her change is $25 - $22.60 = $2.40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Option B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct change Tamison received after buying the stamps.
Question 2 of 5
Teresa began collecting baseball cards exactly 8 months ago, and in that time, she has collected 144 cards. On average, how many baseball cards has she collected per month?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Teresa collected 144 baseball cards in 8 months. To find the average number of cards collected per month, we divide the total number of cards by the total months: 144 cards · 8 months = 18 cards per month. Therefore, on average, Teresa has collected 18 baseball cards per month. Choice A (12), Choice B (16), and Choice D (22) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation based on the information provided in the question.

Rationale: When dividing 5,117 by 31, the quotient is 165 with a remainder of 2. The correct answer is 165 r2. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct division result. Choice A is close but has the wrong remainder. Choices B and C have incorrect quotients and remainders, making them inaccurate. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 165 r2.
Question 5 of 5
Gus is making a chili recipe that calls for three parts beans to five parts ground beef. If he is using 8 cups of ground beef for a big family dinner, how many cups of beans will Gus need?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For every 3 parts of beans, Gus needs 5 parts of ground beef. This means the ratio of beans to beef is 3:5. If Gus is using 8 cups of ground beef, the total parts would be 3 parts beans to 5 parts beef, which is a total of 8 parts. To find out how many cups of beans Gus needs, we can set up a proportion: 3/5 = x/8. Cross multiplying gives us 5x = 24. Solving for x, we get x = 4. Therefore, Gus will need 4 cups of beans. Choice A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the correct proportion calculation.
