Khanh is visiting the Texas Hill Country and buys some delicious kolaches from a local bakery. If he buys 3 kolaches for $1.75 each, what is the total cost for the kolaches?
- $5.25 ✓
- $4.50
- $6.00
- $5.75
Why: To find the total cost of the kolaches, you multiply the price of one kolache by the number of kolaches Khanh buys. The calculation is 3 kolaches × $1.75 = $5.25. Therefore, the total cost for the kolaches is $5.25.
Jose visited a bluebonnet field in Texas. He took a photo of the bluebonnets, and the camera showed that 0.75 of the photo was filled with bluebonnets. What decimal represents the part of the photo that is not bluebonnets?
- 0.25 ✓
- 0.5
- 0.15
- 0.85
Why: To find the part of the photo that is not bluebonnets, subtract 0.75 from 1.0 (the whole photo): 1.0 - 0.75 = 0.25. Therefore, the value representing the part of the photo that is not bluebonnets is 0.25.
Amira is baking some Texas-style cornbread for her family. She needs 1.25 cups of cornmeal, 0.75 cups of milk, and 0.5 cups of sugar. How many cups of ingredients does Amira need in total?
- 2.5 ✓
- 2.0
- 1.5
- 2.25
Why: To find the total amount of ingredients Amira needs, we add the cups of cornmeal, milk, and sugar together: 1.25 + 0.75 + 0.5. First, add 1.25 and 0.75, which equals 2.0. Then, add 0.5 to that, resulting in 2.5. Therefore, the total amount of ingredients Amira needs is 2.5 cups.
Nour is helping his family sell lemonade at the Texas State Fair. They sell lemonade for $1.25 per cup. If they sell 12 cups in the first hour and 15 cups in the second hour, how much money do they make in total from selling lemonade over the two hours?
- $33.75 ✓
- $27.50
- $30.00
- $25.00
Why: To find the total amount of money Nour's family made, first calculate the total number of cups sold: 12 cups + 15 cups = 27 cups. Then, multiply the number of cups by the price per cup: 27 cups * $1.25 = $33.75. Therefore, the correct answer is $33.75.
Aadi is planning to sell lemonade at the Texas State Fair in Austin. He filled a large pitcher with lemonade that can hold 5.0 liters. If Aadi sells 3.5 liters of lemonade during the first hour, which decimal represents the amount of lemonade left in the pitcher after the first hour?
- 1.5 ✓
- 2.5
- 3.0
- 4.0
Why: To find out how much lemonade is left, subtract the amount sold (3.5 liters) from the total amount in the pitcher (5.0 liters). So, 5.0 - 3.5 equals 1.5 liters remaining. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.5.
Luis visited Big Bend National Park and saw some amazing wildlife. He took photos of 12 different animals. If each photo costs $0.75 to print, how much will it cost Luis to print all his photos?
- $6.00
- $9.00 ✓
- $8.50
- $7.50
Why: To find the total cost to print all 12 photos, multiply the number of photos by the cost per photo. So, 12 photos * $0.75 per photo = $9.00. Therefore, the correct answer is $9.00.
Sanaa is saving up to buy a new pair of cowboy boots that cost $45. She currently has $18 saved. How much more money does Sanaa need to buy the boots?
- $27 ✓
- $25
- $23
- $30
Why: To find out how much more money Sanaa needs, subtract the amount she has saved from the cost of the boots. So, $45 - $18 = $27. Therefore, Sanaa needs $27 more to buy the cowboy boots.
Caroline is helping her family run a fruit stand in Texas. They have sold 7 out of 10 crates of oranges. What decimal represents the fraction of crates sold?
- 0.7 ✓
- 0.10
- 0.03
- 0.60
Why: Caroline has sold 7 out of 10 crates, which can be represented as the fraction 7/10. To convert this fraction to a decimal, you divide 7 by 10, which equals 0.7. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.7.
