Mariana is collecting donations for the San Antonio Stock Show to help local 4-H clubs. She has received $12.35 from her neighbor, $22.40 from her aunt, and $7.50 from her friend. Which list shows the donations in order from least to greatest?
- $7.50, $12.35, $22.40 ✓
- $12.35, $7.50, $22.40
- $22.40, $7.50, $12.35
- $12.35, $22.40, $7.50
Why: To order the donations from least to greatest, first compare the values: $7.50, $12.35, and $22.40. The smallest amount is $7.50, followed by $12.35, and the largest is $22.40. Therefore, the correct order is $7.50, $12.35, and $22.40.
Riley went to the Port of Houston and saw 12.45 tons of cargo. Later, she saw another shipment that weighed 7.3 tons. What is the total weight of the cargo Riley saw at the port?
- 19.75 ✓
- 19.15
- 20.75
- 18.15
Why: To find the total weight of the cargo Riley saw, you need to add the two weights together: 12.45 + 7.3. First, align the decimals and add: 12.45 + 7.30 = 19.75. Therefore, the correct answer is 19.75.
Eduardo is helping his family prepare for the State Fair of Texas in Dallas. They are packing snacks to take with them. They have 1.25 pounds of nachos, 0.75 pounds of cotton candy, and 0.5 pounds of popcorn. What is the correct order of the snacks based on their weight, from heaviest to lightest?
- 1.25, 0.75, 0.5 ✓
- 0.75, 1.25, 0.5
- 0.5, 0.75, 1.25
- 0.75, 0.5, 1.25
Why: To order the snacks by weight from heaviest to lightest, we compare the decimals: 1.25 (nachos) is the heaviest, followed by 0.75 (cotton candy), and finally 0.5 (popcorn). Thus, the correct order is 1.25, 0.75, 0.5.
Luna is measuring the amount of rain that fell in her backyard in Austin, Texas. Over three days, she recorded the following amounts: Day 1: 1.25 inches, Day 2: 0.89 inches, and Day 3: 1.47 inches. Which of the following shows the amounts of rain ordered from least to greatest?
- 0.89, 1.25, 1.47 ✓
- 1.25, 0.89, 1.47
- 1.47, 1.25, 0.89
- 0.89, 1.47, 1.25
Why: To order the amounts of rain from least to greatest, we compare the decimals. 0.89 is the smallest, followed by 1.25, and then 1.47 is the largest. So the correct order is 0.89, 1.25, 1.47.

- 5.65
Why: To find the total weight of fruit Nisha has, add the weight of the peaches (3.45 pounds) and the weight of the oranges (2.30 pounds). When you add these together: 3.45 + 2.30 = 5.75. Thus, Nisha has a total of 5.75 pounds of fruit.
Maria and her friends went to the Texas State Fair in Dallas. They decided to buy some funnel cakes and lemonade. The funnel cake costs 3.50 dollars, and the lemonade costs 2.25 dollars. What is the total cost of one funnel cake and one lemonade?
- 5.75 ✓
- 5.25
- 6.00
- 4.75
Why: To find the total cost, add the cost of the funnel cake (3.50) and the cost of the lemonade (2.25). So, 3.50 + 2.25 equals 5.75. Therefore, the total cost of one funnel cake and one lemonade is 5.75.

- 2.45, 1.75, 3.20
- 3.20, 2.45, 1.75
- 2.45, 3.20, 1.75
Why: To order the amounts of rainfall from least to greatest, we compare the decimals: 1.75 is less than 2.45, and 2.45 is less than 3.20. Therefore, the correct order is 1.75, 2.45, 3.20.
