Cognitive demand: medium. Typical question shape: Hierarchy diagram (e.g., quadrilaterals → parallelograms → rectangles); identify category.
Reese is collecting information on different types of fish found in the Gulf of Mexico. He discovers that 1/4 of the fish he sees are redfish, and the remaining fish are speckled trout. If he sees a total of 80 fish, how many speckled trout does Reese see?
- 60 ✓
- 20
- 40
- 30
Why: To find the number of speckled trout, first calculate the number of redfish. Since 1/4 of the 80 fish are redfish, Reese sees 80 * 1/4 = 20 redfish. Then, subtract the number of redfish from the total number of fish: 80 - 20 = 60 speckled trout.
Olivia is organizing a picnic in McAllen, Texas, and she wants to prepare some delicious breakfast tacos. Each taco requires 1/4 of a pound of cheese. If she buys a 5-pound bag of cheese, how many tacos can she make?
- 20 ✓
- 10
- 15
- 25
Why: To find out how many tacos Olivia can make, divide the total amount of cheese by the amount needed for each taco. Since each taco requires 1/4 pound of cheese, we can calculate the number of tacos by dividing 5 pounds by 1/4. This is the same as multiplying 5 by 4 (because dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal). So, 5 * 4 = 20. Therefore, Olivia can make 20 tacos.
Sofia is making a scrapbook of her trip to Austin, Texas, where she took 12 photos of the Texas state capitol and 8 photos of the local bluebonnet fields. How many photos does Sofia have in total?
- 20 ✓
- 18
- 22
- 24
Why: To find the total number of photos, add the photos of the Texas state capitol (12) to the photos of the bluebonnet fields (8). The equation is 12 + 8 = 20. So, Sofia has 20 photos in total.
Ximena is visiting the Texas Panhandle and wants to buy some souvenirs. She sees a t-shirt for $15 and a cowboy hat for $25. If she buys both items, what is the total amount she will spend?
- $40 ✓
- $30
- $35
- $50
Why: To find the total amount Ximena will spend, add the cost of the t-shirt and the cowboy hat together: $15 + $25 = $40. Therefore, the correct answer is $40.
Sakura is collecting unique seashells at the beach in Galveston, Texas. She found 12 seashells on Saturday and 15 more on Sunday. How many seashells does Sakura have in total?
- 27 ✓
- 25
- 22
- 30
Why: To find the total number of seashells, you need to add the number of seashells Sakura found on Saturday (12) to the number she found on Sunday (15). So, 12 + 15 equals 27. Therefore, the correct answer is 27.
Nia is organizing a soccer tournament in Austin, Texas. She plans to have 24 teams participating. If each team consists of 12 players, how many players will be at the tournament in total?
- 288 ✓
- 240
- 276
- 312
Why: To find the total number of players at the tournament, you multiply the number of teams by the number of players per team. Here, Nia has 24 teams, and each team has 12 players. So, the calculation is 24 * 12 = 288. Therefore, the total number of players at the tournament is 288.
Olivia is organizing a bake sale at her school to raise money for the San Antonio Stock Show. She baked 24 cupcakes and 36 cookies. If she sells all of them, how many baked goods does she have in total?
- 60 ✓
- 48
- 72
- 36
Why: To find the total number of baked goods, you add the number of cupcakes and cookies together. Olivia has 24 cupcakes and 36 cookies, so 24 + 36 = 60. Therefore, the total number of baked goods is 60.
Eduardo is helping his family at their farm in Nacogdoches, Texas. They have planted 24 rows of corn, and each row contains 15 corn plants. How many corn plants are there in total?
- 360 ✓
- 150
- 24
- 15
Why: To find the total number of corn plants, multiply the number of rows by the number of plants in each row. So, 24 rows * 15 plants per row = 360 plants. Therefore, the correct answer is 360.
