1. 0.5 ✓
2. 0.1
3. 0.4

4. 30

Why: To find the total number of enchiladas Carolina needs to prepare, multiply the number of trays by the number of enchiladas per tray. She has 2.5 trays and each tray has 10 enchiladas. So, 2.5 * 10 = 25 enchiladas. Therefore, the correct answer is 25.

Mason is making a presentation about the Texas flag for his class. He needs to show his classmates how the fraction of the flag that is red relates to a decimal. If the red part of the flag represents 1/10 of the entire flag, which decimal represents this fraction?

1. 0.1 ✓
2. 0.01
3. 0.5
4. 1.0

Why: The fraction 1/10 can be converted to a decimal by dividing the numerator (1) by the denominator (10). This results in 0.1, which represents the same portion of the flag. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.1.

Layla is baking a batch of Texas-style pecan pies. She needs to use 0.3 cups of sugar for each pie. If she plans to bake 4 pies, how many cups of sugar does she need in total?

1. 1.2 ✓
2. 1.4
3. 1.6
4. 1.8

Why: To find the total amount of sugar Layla needs, multiply the amount of sugar for one pie (0.3 cups) by the number of pies she is baking (4). So, 0.3 * 4 = 1.2 cups of sugar. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.2.

Daniela is planting tomatoes in her garden in Texas. She has 5 out of 10 rows filled with tomato plants. What fraction of the rows does she have filled with plants?

1. 1/2 ✓
2. 2/5
3. 3/5
4. 1/10

Why: To find the fraction of rows filled with tomato plants, we take the number of rows filled (5) and divide it by the total number of rows (10). This gives us the fraction 5/10, which simplifies to 1/2. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/2.

Jorge went to a market in McAllen and bought some oranges. The price for 10 oranges was $1.50. If Jorge wants to buy 20 oranges, how much will he pay in total?

1. $3.00 ✓
2. $1.75
3. $2.00
4. $2.50

Why: To find the total cost for 20 oranges, we can first determine the price of one orange. If 10 oranges cost $1.50, then one orange costs $1.50 ÷ 10 = $0.15. To find the cost for 20 oranges, we multiply the cost of one orange by 20: $0.15 * 20 = $3.00. Therefore, the total cost for 20 oranges will be $3.00.

Tyrone went to a Bluebonnet field in Texas and saw 30 Bluebonnet flowers among a total of 50 flowers. What fraction of the flowers did he see that were Bluebonnets?

1. 3/5 ✓
2. 2/5
3. 5/3
4. 1/2

Why: To find the fraction of Bluebonnet flowers, divide the number of Bluebonnet flowers (30) by the total number of flowers (50). This simplifies to 30/50, which reduces to 3/5, meaning 3 out of every 5 flowers are Bluebonnets. Therefore, the correct answer is 3/5.
