Cognitive demand: low. Typical question shape: Multiple decimals; pick correct ordering.
Roberto is helping his family run a small ranch in Texas. He measured the height of three different cows in feet: 4.25, 4.5, and 4.75. What is the correct order of the cows' heights from shortest to tallest?
- 4.25, 4.5, 4.75 ✓
- 4.5, 4.75, 4.25
- 4.75, 4.25, 4.5
- 4.5, 4.25, 4.75
Why: To order the cow heights from shortest to tallest, we compare the decimals. 4.25 is the shortest, followed by 4.5, and the tallest is 4.75. Therefore, the correct order is 4.25, 4.5, and 4.75.
Mateo went to the farmer's market in Austin and bought three types of fruit. He bought 2.35 liters of strawberries, 1.75 liters of blueberries, and 2.5 liters of blackberries. What is the correct order of the amounts of fruit Mateo bought from least to greatest?
- 1.75 liters, 2.35 liters, 2.5 liters ✓
- 2.5 liters, 1.75 liters, 2.35 liters
- 2.35 liters, 1.75 liters, 2.5 liters
- 2.5 liters, 2.35 liters, 1.75 liters
Why: To compare the amounts of fruit Mateo bought, we look at the decimals: 1.75, 2.35, and 2.5. The smallest amount is 1.75 liters (blueberries), followed by 2.35 liters (strawberries), and the largest amount is 2.5 liters (blackberries). So the correct order from least to greatest is 1.75 liters, 2.35 liters, and 2.5 liters.
Mateo is organizing a school fundraiser in San Antonio. He has collected $25.75 from the bake sale and $18.90 from the car wash. What is the total amount of money Mateo has collected from both events?
- $44.65 ✓
- $43.75
- $45.65
- $42.75
Why: To find the total amount of money Mateo has collected, you need to add the two amounts together: $25.75 + $18.90 = $44.65. Therefore, the correct answer is $44.65.
Kennedy is visiting the San Antonio River Walk and wants to compare the heights of two fountains. The first fountain is 25.678 meters tall, and the second fountain is 25.689 meters tall. Which of the following shows the correct comparison of the two fountain heights using the symbols >, <, or =?
- 25.678 < 25.689 ✓
- 25.678 > 25.689
- 25.678 = 25.689
- 25.689 < 25.678
Why: To compare the two heights, we look at the decimal numbers. Since 25.678 is less than 25.689, we can say that 25.678 < 25.689. Therefore, the correct answer is 25.678 < 25.689.
Adriana went to a farmers' market in Lubbock, Texas, to buy some produce. She bought 2.75 pounds of tomatoes, 1.5 pounds of peppers, and 3.25 pounds of onions. What is the total weight of the produce she bought in pounds?
- 7.5 ✓
- 6.5
- 5.5
- 8.5
Why: To find the total weight of the produce, add the weights together: 2.75 + 1.5 + 3.25. First, add 2.75 and 1.5, which equals 4.25. Then, add 4.25 and 3.25, which equals 7.5. Therefore, the total weight of the produce is 7.5 pounds.
Eleanor went to a market in Austin to buy some local produce. She bought 2.345 pounds of tomatoes, 1.678 pounds of bell peppers, and 0.456 pounds of onions. What is the correct order of the weights of the items she purchased from least to greatest?
- 0.456, 1.678, 2.345 ✓
- 1.678, 0.456, 2.345
- 2.345, 1.678, 0.456
- 1.678, 2.345, 0.456
Why: To order the weights from least to greatest, we compare the decimal values. The weights are 0.456, 1.678, and 2.345. Therefore, the correct order is 0.456, 1.678, and 2.345.

- 6.25 ✓
- 5.25
- 6.75
- 5.75
Why: To find the total weight of the fruits, add the weight of the oranges and apples together: 2.5 + 3.75 = 6.25. Therefore, the total weight of the fruits that Camila bought is 6.25 pounds.
Naomi is visiting the San Antonio River Walk and wants to compare the heights of two fountains. Fountain A is 3.245 meters tall, and Fountain B is 3.156 meters tall. Which fountain is taller?
- Fountain A ✓
- Fountain B
- They are the same height
- Fountain A is shorter than Fountain B
Why: To determine which fountain is taller, compare the two decimals. Fountain A is 3.245 meters tall and Fountain B is 3.156 meters tall. Since 3.245 is greater than 3.156, Fountain A is taller.
