Answer key and explanations

  1. C. \(1{,}200\) m

    Maria runs one lap of 400 meters three times. Multiply to find the total: \(3 \times 400 = 1{,}200\) meters. That's \(\mathbf{1{,}200}\) meters in all!

  2. B. \(3\) L

    Sam starts with 5 liters and uses 2 liters for punch. Subtract to find what's left: \(5 - 2 = 3\) liters. He has \(\mathbf{3}\) liters remaining.

  3. A. \(5\) cm

    Diego's pencil is 24 cm and Ava's is 19 cm. Find the difference by subtracting: \(24 - 19 = 5\) cm. The difference is \(\mathbf{5}\) centimeters.

  4. A. \(24\) pounds

    Mia weighs 42 pounds and her dog weighs 18 pounds. Subtract to compare: \(42 - 18 = 24\) pounds. Mia weighs \(\mathbf{24}\) pounds more.

  5. C. \(1{,}500\) mL

    Noah buys 3 bottles, each holding 500 mL. Multiply: \(3 \times 500 = 1{,}500\) mL. He buys \(\mathbf{1{,}500}\) milliliters in total.

  6. C. \(32\) cups

    One batch needs 8 cups of flour. For 4 batches, multiply: \(8 \times 4 = 32\) cups. The baker needs \(\mathbf{32}\) cups of flour.

  7. C. \(14\) gallons

    The cafeteria used 6 gallons on Monday and 8 gallons on Tuesday. Add them: \(6 + 8 = 14\) gallons. They used \(\mathbf{14}\) gallons in total.

  8. C. \(14\) kg

    Each container holds 2 kilograms of rice. With 7 containers, multiply: \(2 \times 7 = 14\) kg. The total is \(\mathbf{14}\) kilograms.
