Sample Question — from our free Test 1
A bakery makes 342 muffins on Monday and 257 muffins on Tuesday. What is the total number of muffins made over these two days?
A
619
This option is incorrect because it is 20 units higher than the actual total, resulting from a calculation mistake in the tens column.
B
599
Correct! Adding the ones column (2 + 7 = 9), the tens column (40 + 50 = 90), and the hundreds column (300 + 200 = 500) results in exactly 599.
C
609
This option is incorrect because it mistakenly carries a 1 to the tens place, resulting in an overcount of 10.
D
595
This is incorrect because 342 + 257 = 599, not 595; this option comes from a calculation error in the ones column.
Sample Question — Hard tier (Test 15)
A quadrilateral has angles of 68°, 95° and 62°. What is the size of the fourth angle?
A
145°
This is 10° too many — recheck the subtraction.
B
135°
Correct! The angles in a quadrilateral add to 360°, so the missing angle is 360° − the given angles = 135°.
C
360°
This is the total for all the angles in a quadrilateral, not just the missing one.
D
125°
This is 10° too few — recheck the subtraction.
