Jake has one $5 bill and three $1 bills.
How much money does he have?

Question 4
What time does the clock show?
Correct answer: B
The long hand points to 5. Count by fives: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 minutes. The short hand is just past 4, so the time is 4:25. 5:20 mixes up the two hands.

Question 6
Which time is a quarter past 2?

A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes. A quarter past 2 means 15 minutes after 2:00, so 2:15. 2:45 is a quarter to 3.
-
Question 7
Which thing is about 1 foot long?
Correct answer: D
A foot is 12 inches, and a school ruler is usually 12 inches long. A car and a door are much longer, and an eraser is much shorter.
-
Question 8
A ribbon is 54 centimeters long. Dana cuts off 18 centimeters.
How long is the ribbon now?
Correct answer: C
Cutting off makes it shorter, so subtract: 54 - 18 = 36 centimeters. The answer 72 centimeters adds the lengths.
-
Question 9
A line starts at the 2 on a ruler and ends at the 9.
How long is the line?
Correct answer: A
The line does not start at 0, so find the difference: 9 - 2 = 7 inches. The answer 9 inches reads only the end mark.
-
Question 10
A pencil costs 35¢. Max pays with 2 quarters.
How much change does he get?
Correct answer: C
2 quarters are 50¢. 50¢ - 35¢ = 15¢. The answer 85¢ adds the price to the money paid.
