What is 4 + 3?
7
9
8
6
To add 4 and 3, you start at 4 and count up three more. The total number of units is 7.
What is 7 - 5?
4
1
3
2
Subtraction removes five units from seven, leaving two. Therefore, 7 minus 5 equals 2.
Calculate 2 + 6.
9
6
8
7
Adding 6 to 2 results in 8. You can count up six steps from two to verify the sum.
What is 9 - 4?
5
4
7
6
Subtracting 4 from 9 removes four units, resulting in 5. Hence, the correct difference is 5.
Find the sum of 3 and 3.
8
5
7
6
Adding three plus three gives six because each group of three contributes to the total count. Therefore, the sum is 6.
What is 4 × 3?
14
12
7
9
Multiplication of 4 by 3 means adding 4 three times: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12. Thus, the product is 12.
Calculate 18 ÷ 2.
9
16
7
8
Division of 18 by 2 splits 18 into two equal parts of 9 each. Therefore, the quotient is 9.
What is 5 × 5?
10
15
25
20
Multiplying 5 by itself means adding 5 five times: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25. Hence, the product is 25.
A student claims that 7 + 6 = 12. What is the correct sum?
14
11
12
13
Adding 7 and 6 yields 13 because 7 + 5 = 12 and one more makes 13. The student's result of 12 is one too low.
Evaluate the expression: 2 + 3 × 4.
14
18
10
20
According to order of operations, multiply before adding: 3 × 4 = 12, then add 2 to get 14. Thus, the value is 14.
Lisa had 5 apples, bought 4 more, and then ate 3. How many apples does she have now?
5
6
4
2
Starting with 5 then adding 4 gives 9, and eating 3 leaves 6. Therefore, she has 6 apples left.
Estimate the sum of 27 + 36 by rounding each to the nearest ten first.
80
60
70
65
Rounding 27 to 30 and 36 to 40 gives an estimated sum of 70. Estimation helps simplify mental calculation.
There are 4 baskets with 6 oranges in each. How many oranges are there in total?
24
16
10
20
Multiplication of 4 baskets by 6 oranges each yields 24 oranges in total. This uses equal-group multiplication.
Twelve candies are shared equally among 3 children. How many candies does each child get?
6
4
3
2
Dividing 12 candies by 3 children gives 4 candies per child. Equal sharing yields this quotient.
Evaluate the expression: (2 + 3) × 4.
12
14
7
20
Parentheses first: 2 + 3 = 5, then multiply by 4 to get 20. This follows the order of operations.
Evaluate the expression: 3 + 6 × 2 − 4 ÷ 2.
11
10
13
15
First compute multiplication and division: 6 × 2 = 12 and 4 ÷ 2 = 2. Then add and subtract: 3 + 12 − 2 = 13.
A student writes 8 + (5 × 2) = 26. What is the correct result?
18
16
26
20
Inside the parentheses, 5 × 2 = 10, then add 8 gives 18. The student's answer of 26 mistakes the order of operations.
A store sells pens in packs of 6 at $2 per pen. If it sells 5 packs, how much revenue does it make?
12
24
60
30
Each pack has 6 pens at $2 each, so revenue per pack is 6 × $2 = $12. Selling 5 packs yields 5 × $12 = $60.
Estimate the sum of 74 + 89 by rounding each to the nearest ten.
170
150
140
160
Rounding 74 to 70 and 89 to 90 gives an estimated sum of 160. This quick estimate simplifies calculation.
Evaluate the expression: (5 + 3) × (6 − 2) ÷ 4.
8
4
32
16
Compute inside parentheses: 5+3=8 and 6−2=4, multiply to get 32, then divide by 4 yields 8. Proper order of operations ensures accuracy.
