Sofia has a collection of 120 stamps. She decides to organize them into albums. Each album can hold 15 stamps. How many albums does Sofia need to store all of her stamps?

1. 8 ✓
2. 6
3. 10
4. 5

Why: To find out how many albums Sofia needs, divide the total number of stamps, 120, by the number of stamps each album can hold, which is 15. So, 120 ÷ 15 = 8. Therefore, Sofia needs 8 albums to store all of her stamps.

Diego is helping on a cotton farm near Lubbock, Texas. The farm harvested 1,692 pounds of cotton, and each bag can hold 24 pounds. How many bags will Diego need to pack all the cotton?

1. 70
2. 68
3. 71 ✓
4. 69

Why: To find out how many bags Diego needs, divide the total weight of cotton by the capacity of each bag. So, 1,692 divided by 24 equals 70 with a remainder of 12. Since the remainder indicates that there is still cotton left to pack after filling 70 bags, Diego will need an additional bag for those extra pounds. Thus, he will need a total of 71 bags.

Aanya has a collection of 120 colorful marbles. She wants to share them equally with her 3 friends during a game night. After dividing the marbles equally among them, how many marbles will each person get?

1. 30 ✓
2. 40
3. 60
4. 20

Why: To find out how many marbles each person gets, we need to divide the total number of marbles, 120, by the number of people sharing them, which is 4 (Aanya plus her 3 friends). 120 ÷ 4 = 30. Therefore, each person will receive 30 marbles.

Maria is helping her family on their ranch in Texas. They have 2,532 square feet of land for their cattle. If they want to divide this land equally among 24 cattle, how many square feet will each cattle have? Which equation can be used to find the answer?

1. 2,532 / 24 ✓
2. 2,532 + 24
3. 2,532 - 24
4. 2,532 × 24

Why: To find out how many square feet each cattle will have, you need to divide the total square feet of land (2,532) by the number of cattle (24). The correct equation is 2,532 / 24, which gives the amount of land each cattle will receive.

Sofia is helping her dad sell homemade lemonade at a local festival in Fredericksburg, Texas. They made 1,250 cups of lemonade to sell. If they sell the lemonade in packs of 25 cups each, how many packs can they sell?

1. 50 ✓
2. 45
3. 55
4. 40

Why: To find out how many packs of lemonade Sofia and her dad can sell, divide the total number of cups by the number of cups in each pack: 1,250 ÷ 25 = 50. Therefore, they can sell 50 packs of lemonade.

Paola's family runs a ranch in Texas where they raise cows. They recently counted their cows and found they have 1,254 cows. If they want to divide these cows equally into herds of 12 cows each, how many herds will they have, and how many cows will be left over?

1. 104 with 6 left over ✓
2. 105 with 4 left over
3. 106 with 2 left over
4. 107 with 10 left over

Why: To find out how many herds of 12 can be made from 1,254 cows, we perform the division 1,254 ÷ 12. This equals 104 with a remainder of 6. Therefore, Paola's family can create 104 herds of 12 cows each, with 6 cows remaining.

Diego is planning a birthday party and wants to invite 24 friends. He decides to buy packs of party hats, with each pack containing 6 hats. How many packs of party hats does he need to buy?

1. 4 ✓
2. 3
3. 6
4. 5

Why: To find out how many packs of party hats Diego needs, we divide the total number of hats he wants by the number of hats in each pack. So, we calculate 24 friends ÷ 6 hats per pack = 4 packs. Therefore, Diego needs to buy 4 packs of party hats.

Linh is helping her family at their farm near Waco, Texas. They have 840 apples to pack into boxes for sale at the market. Each box can hold 12 apples. How many full boxes can Linh fill with the apples?

1. 70 ✓

4. 60

Why: To find out how many full boxes Linh can fill, we need to divide the total number of apples, 840, by the number of apples per box, which is 12. So, we calculate 840 ÷ 12. This gives us 70, meaning Linh can fill 70 full boxes with the apples.
