Wren and her family went to the San Antonio Stock Show, where they saw 1,245 sheep, 832 cows, and 1,010 pigs. How should these numbers be ordered from least to greatest?
- 832, 1,010, 1,245 ✓
- 1,245, 1,010, 832
- 1,010, 832, 1,245
- 832, 1,245, 1,010
Why: To arrange the numbers 1,245 (sheep), 832 (cows), and 1,010 (pigs) from least to greatest, we compare them. 832 is the smallest, followed by 1,010, and then 1,245 is the largest. So the correct order is 832, 1,010, and 1,245.
Mateo is visiting the San Antonio River Walk, where he sees 4 shops selling handmade crafts. The first shop has 25 items, the second has 18 items, the third has 32 items, and the fourth has 21 items. What is the correct order of the number of items in the shops from least to greatest?
- 18, 21, 25, 32 ✓
- 21, 18, 25, 32
- 25, 18, 21, 32
- 32, 25, 21, 18
Why: To order the number of items from least to greatest, we compare the quantities: 18 (second shop) is the smallest, followed by 21 (fourth shop), 25 (first shop), and 32 (third shop) is the largest. Therefore, the correct order is 18, 21, 25, and 32.

- 50, 42, 35, 28
- 42, 28, 50, 35
Why: To order the numbers from least to greatest, we look at the amounts: 28 (Enchiladas), 35 (Brisket), 42 (Fajitas), and 50 (Chili). The correct order is 28, 35, 42, and 50, which matches the first choice.

Paola is visiting a bluebonnet field in Texas. She takes photos of 2,345 bluebonnets in one area, 3,128 bluebonnets in another area, and 1,789 bluebonnets in a third area. How many bluebonnets did she photograph in total? Which of these numbers represents the total number of bluebonnets Paola photographed?
- 7,262 ✓
- 6,262
- 6,034
- 5,196
Why: To find the total number of bluebonnets, we need to add the three numbers together: 2,345 + 3,128 + 1,789. First, add 2,345 and 3,128, which equals 5,473. Then, add 5,473 and 1,789, which equals 7,262. Therefore, the answer is 7,262.
Sofia is making a fruit salad with apples, bananas, and oranges. She has 4 apples, 3 bananas, and 5 oranges. What does the number of bananas tell us about the fruit salad?

- There are the same number of apples and bananas.
- Bananas are the most numerous fruit.
Why: The number of bananas in Sofia's fruit salad is 3, which is fewer than the 5 oranges she has. This shows that bananas are not the most numerous fruit in the salad.
