Q10:

Isabella is trying to figure out the cost of 8 juice boxes that are sold for $4.11 each. Which of the following mathematical sentences can be used to help Isabella do her calculations easily and states the real number property applied?

  • A 8 ( 4 . 1 1 ) = 8 ( 4 + 0 . 1 1 ) , the associative property of multiplication
  • B 8 ( 4 . 1 1 ) = 8 ( 4 + 0 . 1 1 ) , the commutative property of multiplication
  • C 8 ( 4 . 1 1 ) = 8 ( 4 + 0 . 1 1 ) , the distributive property
  • D 8 + 4 . 1 1 = 4 . 1 1 + 8 , the commutative property of addition
  • E 8 + 4 . 1 1 = 8 + ( 4 + 0 . 1 1 ) , the distributive property

Q11:

Ethan bought 7 new outfits for $65 each for his wardrobe. Determine the expression that represents the total cost. Using the distributive property, determine an equivalent expression that can be used to calculate the total cost mentally.

  • A 7 Γ— 6 5 , 7 ( 6 0 + 5 )
  • B 7 Γ— 6 5 , 7 + ( 6 0 + 5 )
  • C 7 + 6 5 , 7 + ( 6 0 βˆ’ 5 )
  • D 7 Γ— 6 5 , 7 ( 6 0 βˆ’ 5 )
  • E 7 + 6 5 , 7 + ( 6 0 + 5 )

Q12:

A print shop charges $0.04 to print a page in black and white and $0.16 to print it in color. Use the distributive property to determine the total cost of printing 27 pages in both black and white and color.

Q13:

  • A 1 2
  • B 9 3 2
  • C 2 9 6 4
  • D 3 8

Q14:

Use the number bonds to help you find the missing numbers in the equations.

9 Γ— 4 = ( 5 Γ— 4 ) + ( Γ— 4 ) .

9 Γ— 4 = 2 0 + .

9 Γ— 4 = .

Q15:

2 2 Γ— 1 2 = 1 3 2 +

2 2 Γ— 1 2 =

Q16:

A hardware store has 154 hammers and 171 screwdrivers on sale for $9.03 each. Determine how much money the hardware store will earn if all the hammers and screwdrivers are sold. If the selling price decreased to $6.69, determine how much money the store would earn then, and calculate the difference between the store’s earnings for both prices.

  • A$2,934.75, $2,174.25, $5,109.00
