Yara is helping her family at their ranch in Texas. They have 3.125 acres of land dedicated to growing bluebonnets. If Yara wants to expand this area by adding 1.75 acres, what will be the new total area in acres dedicated to bluebonnets?

1. 4.875 ✓
2. 4.825
3. 4.375
4. 5.125

Why: To find the new total area, add the current area of 3.125 acres to the area Yara wants to add, which is 1.75 acres. So, 3.125 + 1.75 = 4.875 acres. Therefore, the new total area dedicated to bluebonnets is 4.875 acres.

Zoe is planning a trip to Amarillo, Texas, where she wants to visit the famous Cadillac Ranch. Each day, she will spend $12.50 on snacks and $8.75 on souvenirs. If Zoe plans to stay for 4 days, how much money will she spend in total on snacks and souvenirs during her trip?

1. $85.00 ✓
2. $82.50
