1. The equation 21 x 10 + 33 equals what number?
   • 340
   • 243
   • 444
   • 324
   The correct answer is (21 x 10) + 33 = 243.
   The equation 21 x 10 + 33 is equal to 243 because 21 x 10 is 210, and when 33 is added to it the total is 243.
2. The equation 15 -10 + 360 equals what number?
   • 392
   • 324
   • 245
   • 365
   The correct answer is (15 -10) + 360 = 365.
   This is because the order of operations (PEMDAS) states that any operations within parentheses are completed first, followed by any exponents, then multiplication/division, and finally addition/subtraction.
3. A train travelled 120 km to the first station and 95 km to the last station. What is the total distance travelled?
   • 418 km
   • 125 km
   • 215 km
   • 245 km
   The correct answer is 215 km.
   The total distance travelled is the sum of the distances travelled to each station, which in this case is 120 km + 95 km = 215 km.
4. The equation 17 – 9 + 348 equals what number?
   • 222
   • 356
   • 328
   • 333
   The correct answer is (17 – 9) + 348 = 356.
   The equation 17 – 9 + 348 is equal to 356 because when subtracting 9 from 17, the result is 8, which is then added to 348, resulting in a total of 356.

5. A train travelled 50 km to the first station and 25 km to the last station. What is the total distance travelled?
   • 165 km
   • 145 km
   • 78 km
   • 75 km
   The correct answer is 75 km.
   The total distance travelled by the train is 75 km, as it travelled 50 km to the first station and an additional 25 km to the last station.
6. I am a number. Multiply me by 6 and you get the number of hours in a day. What number am I?
   • 12
   • 2
   • 6
   • 4
   Answer: 4.
   I am 4, the number of hours in a day when multiplied by 6.
7. The equation 16 – 9 + 324 equals what number?
   • 331
   • 436
   • 224
   • 424
   The correct answer is (16 – 9) + 324 = 331.
   This is because the order of operations dictates that the subtraction must be done first, followed by the addition, resulting in a sum of 331.
8. How do you write 0.75 as a fraction?
   • 1/4
   • 3/4
   • 1/3
   • 4/5
   The correct answer is 3/4.
   0.75 can be written as a fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number to make the denominator equal to 1. In this case, 3/4 is the fraction equivalent of 0.75.
9. The Roman numeral V means what number?
   • 500
   • 750
   • 1000000
   • 5000
   The correct answer is 5000.
   The Roman numeral V is equivalent to the Arabic numeral 5, so it represents the number 5000.
10. A train travelled 110 km to the first station and 85 km to the last station. What is the total distance travelled?
    • 195 km
    • 205 km
    • 125 km
    • 198 km
    The correct answer is 195 km.
    The total distance travelled by the train is the sum of the distance travelled to the first station (110 km) and the distance travelled to the last station (85 km), which is 195 km.

11. The equation 20 x 10 + 140 equals what number?
    • 240
    • 436
    • 340
    • 333
    The correct answer is (20 x 10) + 140 = 340.
    This equation is the result of multiplying 20 by 10 and then adding 140 to that product.
12. How do you say 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 in words?
    • A million
    • A septillion
    • A nonillion
    • A octillion
    The correct answer is a nonillion.
    A nonillion is a number that is equal to 1 followed by 30 zeros, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
13. The equation 18 x 9 + 124 equals what number?
    • 286
    • 224
    • 368
    • 448
    The correct answer is (18 x 9) + 124 = 286.
    The equation 18 x 9 + 124 is solved by multiplying 18 and 9, then adding 124, resulting in a total of 286.
14. How do you write 1/4 as a decimal?
    • 0.125
    • 0.33
    • 0.13
    • 0.25
    The correct answer is 0.25.
    A decimal is a way of expressing a fraction in base 10, so 1/4 is equal to 0.25 in decimal form.

15. The equation 16 x 12 + 368 equals what number?
    • 360
    • 560
    • 384
    • 424
    The correct answer is (16 x 12) + 368 = 560.
    This equation is solved by first multiplying 16 and 12 to get 192, then adding 368 to that result to get 560.
16. How do you write 0.2 as a fraction?
    • 4/5
    • 1/5
    • 2/5

    • 195 km
    • 255 km
    • 438 km
    • 235 km
    The correct answer is 235 km.
    The total distance travelled by the train is the sum of the distances travelled to the first and last stations, which is 130 km + 105 km = 235 km.
19. The equation 19 x 9 + 321 equals what number?
    • 269
    • 468
