Which would be read as 'two million three hundred six thousand nine hundred thirty-four'?
  • A. 2,036,934
  • B. 2,306,934
  • C. 2,360,934
  • D. 2,369.03
Correct Answer & Rationale
Correct Answer: B

Option B, 2,306,934, accurately represents 'two million three hundred six thousand nine hundred thirty-four.' The number is broken down as follows: 2 million (2,000,000), 300 thousand (300,000), 6 thousand (6,000), 900 (900), and 30 (30), culminating in 2,306,934. Option A, 2,036,934, incorrectly includes only 30 thousand instead of 300 thousand. Option C, 2,360,934, misplaces the hundreds, showing 360 thousand instead of 306 thousand. Option D, 2,369.03, is not a whole number representation and introduces decimal values, which are irrelevant in this context.

3 in 321,745 vs 4,631?
  • A. 100
  • B. 1000
  • C. 10000
  • D. 100000
Correct Answer & Rationale
Correct Answer: C

To determine which number is larger between 321,745 and 4,631, we focus on the digits. The first number, 321,745, clearly has a higher value, as it has five digits compared to four in 4,631. Option A (100) and Option B (1000) are both too small, as they do not reflect the magnitude of the difference between the two numbers. Option D (100,000) is also incorrect, as it exceeds the value of 321,745. Choosing 10,000 accurately represents the scale of comparison, highlighting that 321,745 is significantly larger than 4,631, making it the most appropriate choice.
1.085/12 value?
Question image
  • A. 90
  • B. 90 * 5/1.085
  • C. 90 * 5/12
  • D. 90.5
Correct Answer & Rationale
Correct Answer: C

To find the value of 1.085/12, we need to simplify the expression. Option C, 90 * 5/12, correctly represents a simplified fraction of 90 divided by 12, multiplied by 5. This yields a value consistent with the original division. Option A (90) is incorrect as it does not involve the division by 12. Option B (90 * 5/1.085) incorrectly uses 1.085 as a divisor instead of 12, leading to an inaccurate calculation. Option D (90.5) is also incorrect as it does not relate to the division of 1.085 by 12, resulting in a value that does not reflect the operation required.
Digit 1 in ten thousands 9 in ones? Select ALL.
Question image
  • A. 12,679
  • B. 12,769
  • C. 12,796
  • D. 21,679
  • E. 21,769
Correct Answer & Rationale
Correct Answer: A,B: 1 ten thousands, 9 ones. C: 6 ones. D,E,F: 2 ten thousands. Place values must match both conditions.

To identify numbers with 1 in the ten thousands place and 9 in the ones place, we analyze each option. - **A (12,679)**: The digit 1 is in the ten thousands place, and 9 is in the ones place, meeting both criteria. - **B (12,769)**: Here, 1 is again in the ten thousands place, and 9 is in the ones place, satisfying the conditions. - **C (12,796)**: The digit in the ones place is 6, not 9, which disqualifies it. - **D (21,679)**: The digit in the ten thousands place is 2, failing to meet the first condition. - **E (21,769)**: Similarly, 2 is in the ten thousands place, not 1. - **F (21,796)**: Again, 2 is in the ten thousands place, disqualifying this option. Only options A and B fulfill both requirements, confirming their validity.
Which student wrote the estimate closest to 1,592 + 8?
  • A. Isabella
  • B. Jayden
  • C. Michael
  • D. Sarah
Correct Answer & Rationale
Correct Answer: A

Isabella's estimate of 1,592 + 8 is 1,600, which is closest to the actual sum. This estimation rounds 1,592 to 1,590 and adds 10 for simplicity, yielding 1,600. Jayden likely underestimated or rounded incorrectly, resulting in a less accurate estimate. Michael may have rounded too far or added an incorrect value, leading to a larger discrepancy. Sarah's estimate might not have accounted properly for the addition, causing it to stray further from the actual result. Thus, Isabella’s approach demonstrates the most accurate estimation strategy.
