School Q & A | 2025/2026 Edition (PDF)
**1. What is the result of 1,246 + 3,879?**
A) 4,125
B) 5,125
C) 5,115
D) 5,225
**Correct Answer:** B) 5,125
**Rationale:** Adding column by column: 6 + 9 = 15 (carry 1), 4 + 7 + 1 = 12 (carry 1), 2 + 8 + 1 = 11
(carry 1), 1 + 3 + 1 = 5. The sum is 5,125.
**2. What is the result of 8,432 - 5,687?**
A) 2,745
B) 2,755
C) 2,845
D) 2,745
**Correct Answer:** A) 2,745
**Rationale:** Subtracting column by column with borrowing: 2 - 7 requires borrowing (12 - 7 = 5), tens:
2 (after borrowing) - 8 requires borrowing from 4 (12 - 8 = 4), hundreds: 3 - 6 requires borrowing from 8
(13 - 6 = 7), thousands: 7 - 5 = 2. The result is 2,745.
**3. What is the product of 74 × 36?**
A) 2,664
B) 2,664
C) 2,664
,D) 2,664
**Correct Answer:** A) 2,664
**Rationale:** Multiplying: 74 × 36 = 74 × (30 + 6) = 2,220 + 444 = 2,664. All answer choices are identical
in the source; the correct product is 2,664.
**4. What is 3/4 + 5/8 expressed as a simplified fraction or mixed number?**
A) 8/12
B) 11/8
C) 1 3/8
D) 1 1/2
**Correct Answer:** C) 1 3/8
**Rationale:** Convert 3/4 to an equivalent fraction with denominator 8: 3/4 = 6/8. Add: 6/8 + 5/8 =
11/8, which simplifies to the mixed number 1 3/8.
**5. Simplify the fraction 18/24 to its lowest terms.**
A) 2/3
B) 3/4
C) 4/5
D) 9/12
**Correct Answer:** B) 3/4
**Rationale:** The greatest common factor of 18 and 24 is 6. Divide both numerator and denominator
by 6: 18 ÷ 6 = 3 and 24 ÷ 6 = 4, yielding 3/4.
**6. What is the result of 2 1/2 × 1 1/3?**
, A) 2 5/6
B) 3 1/3
C) 3 1/2
D) 3 2/3
**Correct Answer:** B) 3 1/3
**Rationale:** Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: 2 1/2 = 5/2 and 1 1/3 = 4/3. Multiply: 5/2
× 4/3 = 20/6 = 10/3, which simplifies to 3 1/3.
**7. What is the decimal equivalent of 5 3/4, rounded to the nearest tenth?**
A) 5.75
B) 5.7
C) 5.8
D) 6
**Correct Answer:** C) 5.8
**Rationale:** Convert the fraction 3/4 to a decimal: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. Add the whole number: 5 + 0.75 =
5.75. Rounded to the nearest tenth, 5.75 becomes 5.8 because the hundredths digit is 5.
**8. A warehouse worker ships 25 boxes each day. Every box contains 3 shipping labels. The inventory
has 500 shipping labels. How many days will it take to use the entire inventory? Round to the nearest
whole number.**
A) 7 days
B) 8 days
C) 20 days
D) 6 days
**Correct Answer:** A) 7 days
