- Problem 1: The theater has 30 rows with 24 seats each, so total seats = 30 × 24 = 720. Each ticket costs $12, so income = 720 × $12 = $8,640. Answer: b. $8,640.
- Problem 2: The average person loses 8 × 10¹ = 80 strands of hair per day. In 14 days, they lose 80 × 14 = 1,120 strands. None of the options match this result; however, if the problem meant 8 × 10⁰ = 8 strands per day, then 8 × 14 = 112. Answer: c. 112.
- Problem 3: 210 students divided equally among 15 cabins is 210 ÷ 15 = 14 students per cabin. Answer: b. 14.
- Problem 4: Caden has 148 pavers and wants 9 rows with equal pavers per row. 148 ÷ 9 = 16 with a remainder of 4, so he can put 16 pavers in each row (using 144 pavers) and have 4 left over. Answer: 16.
- Problem 5: The model shows 4 full rows of 10 squares (40) plus 7 additional squares, totaling 47 out of 100, which is 0.47. A decimal less than 0.47 could be 0.46, 0.4, or 0.35, depending on the answer choices not visible. Without specific choices, any decimal < 0.47 is correct.
