Santiago is planting bluebonnets in his garden in Austin, Texas. He has 175 bluebonnet seeds. After planting 48 seeds, he decides to give 27 seeds to his friend. How many bluebonnet seeds does Santiago have left?
- 100 ✓
- 125
- 97
- 90
Why: To find out how many bluebonnet seeds Santiago has left, first subtract the seeds he planted from the total: 175 - 48 = 127. Then, subtract the seeds he gave to his friend: 127 - 27 = 100. Therefore, Santiago has 100 bluebonnet seeds left.
Ryan went to the Rio Grande Valley to pick oranges. He collected 275 oranges in the morning and 146 oranges in the afternoon. How many oranges did Ryan collect in total?
- 421 ✓
- 431
- 401
- 410
Why: To find the total number of oranges Ryan collected, we need to add the number of oranges he collected in the morning (275) to the number he collected in the afternoon (146). So, we calculate 275 + 146 = 421. The correct answer is 421.
Hannah is helping her family prepare for a picnic in Bluebonnet field this spring. They have 275 sandwiches and they plan to make 145 more sandwiches. How many sandwiches will they have in total for the picnic?
- 420 ✓
- 410
- 400
- 430
Why: To find the total number of sandwiches, you need to add the sandwiches they already have to the sandwiches they plan to make. Start with 275 and add 145. So, 275 + 145 = 420. Therefore, the total number of sandwiches for the picnic is 420.
Sebastian loves visiting the Texas Panhandle. He counted 215 cattle at one farm and 145 cattle at another farm. How many cattle did Sebastian count in total?
- 360 ✓
- 370

Why: To find the total number of cattle Sebastian counted, we need to add the two amounts together: 215 + 145. This equals 360. Therefore, the correct answer is 360.
Mariana visited a local Texas fair where she bought 12 kolaches for her family. Each kolache costs $3. How much money did Mariana spend on the kolaches?
- $36 ✓
- $30
- $24
- $12
Why: To find the total cost of the kolaches, we need to multiply the number of kolaches by the cost of each one. Mariana bought 12 kolaches for $3 each, so we calculate 12 × 3, which equals $36. Therefore, Mariana spent $36 on the kolaches.
Lucia counted the number of birds she saw while visiting Caddo Lake. She saw 125 red-winged blackbirds and 78 blue jays. How many birds did Lucia see in total?
- 203 ✓
- 197
- 185
- 205
Why: To find the total number of birds Lucia saw, you need to add the number of red-winged blackbirds and blue jays together. So, you calculate 125 + 78. When you add these numbers, you get 203. Therefore, the correct answer is 203.
Lucia went to a bluebonnet field in Texas with her family. They picked 245 bluebonnets and later picked 128 more. How many bluebonnets did they pick in total?
- 373 ✓
- 365
- 378
- 363
Why: To find the total number of bluebonnets Lucia and her family picked, we need to add the two amounts together: 245 + 128. First, we add 5 + 8 to get 13, write down 3 and carry over 1. Next, we add 4 + 2 + 1 (the carry) to get 7, and finally 2 + 0 for 2. This gives us a total of 373 bluebonnets.
