Fatima is going to a baking class. The class costs $25. She also needs to buy ingredients that cost $12.75. If she pays for both with a $50 bill, how much change will she receive?

1. $12.25 ✓
2. $12.50
3. $13.25
4. $15.25

Why: To find out how much change Fatima will get, first add the cost of the class and the ingredients: $25 + $12.75 = $37.75. Then, subtract this total from the $50 she paid: $50 - $37.75 = $12.25. So, Fatima will receive $12.25 in change.

Logan went to Big Bend National Park with his family. They packed a total of 8 bottles of water for their hike. If they drink 2 bottles of water each hour, how many hours can they hike before running out of water?

1. 4 ✓
2. 6
3. 8
4. 2

Why: To find out how many hours Logan and his family can hike, we need to divide the total number of water bottles by the number of bottles they drink per hour. They packed 8 bottles and drink 2 bottles each hour. So, 8 ÷ 2 = 4 hours. Therefore, Logan can hike for 4 hours before running out of water.

Jamal wants to buy some snacks for his friends at the park. He buys 3 bags of chips for $1.50 each and 2 bottles of lemonade for $2.00 each. How much money did Jamal spend in total on snacks?

1. $8.50 ✓
2. $7.00
3. $6.50
4. $5.50

Why: To find the total amount Jamal spent, first calculate the cost of the chips: 3 bags × $1.50 = $4.50. Next, calculate the cost of the lemonade: 2 bottles × $2.00 = $4.00. Now, add these two amounts together: $4.50 + $4.00 = $8.50. Therefore, Jamal spent a total of $8.50.

Ricardo visited the Piney Woods in East Texas and decided to measure the height of the trees he saw. He counted 15 trees. If the average height of each tree was 35 feet, how tall would all the trees be together? Which expression can be used to find the total height of the trees?

1. 15 × 35 ✓
2. 15 + 35
3. 35 - 15
4. 15 ÷ 35

Why: To find the total height of all the trees, you need to multiply the number of trees by the average height of each tree. So, you can use the expression 15 × 35. This gives you the total height of all the trees combined.

Ella is helping her family prepare for a picnic in Big Bend National Park. They packed 12 sandwiches in total, and each sandwich is cut into 4 pieces. If they want to know how many pieces of sandwiches they will have for the picnic, what is the total number of sandwich pieces?

1. 48 ✓
2. 36
3. 28
4. 32

Why: To find the total number of sandwich pieces, we need to multiply the number of sandwiches by the number of pieces each sandwich is cut into. There are 12 sandwiches and each is cut into 4 pieces, so we calculate 12 * 4 = 48 pieces total. Therefore, the correct answer is 48.

Daniel is selling oranges and grapefruits at a farmer's market in McAllen, Texas. He has 18 oranges and 12 grapefruits. If he sells all the oranges and grapefruits he has, how many pieces of fruit does he sell in total?

1. 30 ✓
2. 28
3. 36
4. 26

Why: To find the total number of pieces of fruit Daniel sells, you add the number of oranges and grapefruits together: 18 + 12 = 30. Therefore, the correct answer is 30.

Camila is helping her dad build a fence in their backyard in Texas. They need a total of 50 feet of fencing. So far, they have used 24 feet. How many more feet of fencing do they need to buy?

1. 26 ✓
2. 24
3. 50
4. 14

Why: To find out how much more fencing Camila and her dad need to buy, subtract the length of fencing they have already used from the total length needed. That is 50 feet - 24 feet = 26 feet. Therefore, they need to buy 26 more feet of fencing.

Diego is making tamales for a family gathering in Texas. He uses 5 pounds of masa to make 40 tamales. If Diego wants to make 60 tamales, how many pounds of masa does he need?

1. 7.5 ✓
2. 6
3. 8
4. 5

Why: To find out how many pounds of masa Diego needs for 60 tamales, first find out how much masa is needed for one tamale. 5 pounds for 40 tamales means each tamale uses 5 / 40 = 1/8 pounds of masa. For 60 tamales, Diego will need 60 * (1/8) = 60 / 8 = 7.5 pounds of masa.
