Answers and explanations
| Question | Answer | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 56 | 7 × 4 = 28, and double that is 56. |
| 2 | 7 | 9 × 7 = 63, so 63 ÷ 9 = 7. |
| 3 | 29 | Multiply first: 6 × 4 = 24. Then add 5 to get 29. |
| 4 | 500 | 478 is closer to 500 than to 400. |
| 5 | 3,460 | The ones digit is 2, so round down to 3,460. |
| 6 | 623 | 200 + 300 = 500, 40 + 70 = 110 and 5 + 8 = 13. 500 + 110 + 13 = 623. |
| 7 | 244 | 458 + 244 = 702, so 702 − 458 = 244. |
| 8 | 26 | Add all four sides: 8 + 5 + 8 + 5 = 26. |
| 9 | 42 | Area = length × width = 7 × 6 = 42. |
| 10 | 1/2 | When the top number is 1, a smaller bottom number means a bigger piece. 2 is the smallest bottom number. |
| 11 | 1/2 | Divide the top and bottom of 2/4 by 2 to get 1/2. |
| 12 | 45 | 5 groups of 9 make 45. |
| 13 | 8 | 32 ÷ 4 = 8. |
| 14 | 7 | 6 × 7 = 42. |
| 15 | 4:30 | Half past means 30 minutes after the hour. |
