Answer Explanation

1 C 12 × 555 = 𝟔𝟔𝟔𝟎

4 B 100° > 90°. Thus it is an obtuse triangle, and cannot be a right triangle.

5 B If the 7th of a month is a Tuesday, so are the 14th, 21st, 28th: 4 total. The next Tuesday would be the 35th, but no month has 35 days.

6 A Continue adding counting numbers and you’ll find that 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 𝟖 = 36.

8 C The operations take (20 × 18) + (80 × 12) = 1320 seconds. 1320 ÷ 60 = 𝟐𝟐. Or could use estimation; 1 minute for 3 additions = 6 min. and a bit over 15 minutes for multiplications which is a bit over 21; 22 is the only choice that is close.

9 C 800 ÷ 60 = 13 R20. So Marshawn takes 13 hours 20 minutes. After 12 hours, it is 9:00pm; after another 1 hour 20 minutes, it is 10:20pm.

Answer Explanation

1 D 3 × 12 = 36 junkinches in a junkfoot. 10 × 36 = 𝟑𝟔𝟎.

2 B Try multiplying pairs of consecutive whole numbers; and since 132 > 100 we cannot have two one-digit numbers. So start with 9 and 10: 9 × 10 = 90, 10 × 11 = 110,

11 × 12 = 132 ✓. Now add: 11 + 12 = 𝟐𝟑.

6 C Rachel pays 1000¢ for brownies costing 110¢ each. 1000 ÷ 110 = 9 R10. She will get 9 brownies and 10¢ ($0.10) in change.

7 A If two numbers are consecutive, one will be even and another will be odd. The product of an even number and an odd number is always even.

8 D Forest to beach takes 2 hours, and way back takes 2 × 3 = 6 hours. The round trip takes 2 + 6 = 8 hours, or 8 × 60 = 𝟒𝟖𝟎 minutes.

9 C Each yard is 3 feet, so there are 5280 ÷ 3 = 𝟏𝟕𝟔𝟎 yards in one mile.

10 D 7 days in a week; 14 total days (2 x 7); 24 hours in a day; 24 x 14 = 336.

13 B 360 ÷ 15 = 𝟐𝟒 degrees per slice.

14 A Patty is taller by 98.7 − 68.9 = 𝟐𝟗. 𝟖 cm. Can also get this answer by approximation.

Answer Explanation

1 Harry Number the seats 1-4 from left to right. Draco sits in #1. Ron & Hermione must occupy #2 & 3 or #3 & 4. But if they occupy #3 & 4, then Harry would be in #2 next to Draco, which cannot happen; therefore Ron & Hermione are in #2 & 3, leaving Harry in seat #4.

2 2791 12 x 10,000 = 120,000 Greenies needed; 120,000/43 = 2790.7; so you need 2791 to get 1 Chunkie high.

3 48 Each original slice is 100 ÷ 5 = 20 ounces. Each small piece from the final cuts is 20 ÷ 5 =4 ounces. (2 × 20) + (3 × 4) = 52 ounces are eaten, leaving 48 ounces of cake uneaten.

4 456 Each giant hot dog is 15 feet = 180 inches (15 x 12); for 9 inch pieces each giant hot dog makes 20 9-inch pieces 19 cuts for each giant hot dog; 19 x 6 = 114 cuts; 114 x 4 = 456 seconds.

5 68 4 scoops = 1 cup; 4 x 17cups = 68 scoops.

6 33

Let’s call the 3 whole numbers A, B, and C, in ascending order (that is, C ≥ B ≥ A). We know that 2 × B × C = 480, so B × C = 240; make a table of some possible values.

• If we go up and to the right from A, we can either stay at the top level or return to the middle (2 paths). Similarly, if we go down and to the right from A, there are 2 paths.

• If we go directly right from A, then up at the next intersection, we can stay up or return down (2 paths). Similarly, if we go right then down, there are 2 paths.

• If we go directly right from A and stay in the middle level, that is 1 path.

When all the squares are filled in, the sum of all 3 columns will be the sum of all the numbers in the box, which is 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45. That makes each column’s sum equal to 45 ÷ 3 = 15. So 4 + X + 8 = 15, which means X = 𝟑.

2 42 There are 6 segments of length 3 and 6 segments of length 4. (6 × 3) + (6 × 4) = 18 + 24 = 𝟒𝟐.

To use the fewest bills, make the bills used as large as possible. Start with the 81-dollar bills: 200 ÷ 81 = 2 R38. So we use 2 81-dollar bills and have 38 dollars left to make with smaller bills. Now use the 27-dollar bills: 38 ÷ 27 = 1 R11 (1 bill, 11 dollars remaining). Then the 9-dollar bills: 11 ÷ 9 = 1 R2 (1 bill, 2 dollars remaining). The remaining 2 dollars must be made with 2 1-dollar bills. Total number of bills is 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 𝟔.

6 36

The highest sum of three different “teen” numbers is 17 + 18 + 19 = 54. To get 53, we

must subtract 1 from one of these numbers (addends) but keep the other two intact; the

only way to do that is to se 16 + 18 + 19 = 53. Therefore, the oldest is 19, the youngest is

16 (3 years younger), and when the oldest is 39 the youngest will be 39 − 3 = 𝟑𝟔.

7 24

2000 × 2000 × 2000 × 2000 × 2000 × 2000 × 2000 = (2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2) × (1000 × 1000 × 1000 × 1000 × 1000 × 1000 × 1000) which is 128 followed by 21 zeros, for 24 digits in all. Or, on many calculators the result of this calculation will read 1.28E23, which means 1.28 with the decimal point shifted 23 places to the right, for a total of 24 digits to the left of the decimal point.
