Step-by-step solution for: United States Map Quiz | Free Printable
Let’s go step by step through each question using the list of 50 U.S. states provided.
We’ll count carefully and double-check our work.
---
Question 1: How many states begin with the letter “A”?
Look at the list:
- Alabama
- Alaska
- Arizona
- Arkansas
That’s 4 states.
✔ Check: A-l-a-b-a-m-a, A-l-a-s-k-a, A-r-i-z-o-n-a, A-r-k-a-n-s-a-s → all start with A. No others.
→ Answer: 4
---
Question 2: How many states begin with the letter “W”?
Look for W:
- Washington
- West Virginia
- Wisconsin
- Wyoming
That’s 4 states.
✔ Check: W-a-s-h-i-n-g-t-o-n, W-e-s-t V-i-r-g-i-n-i-a, W-i-s-c-o-n-s-i-n, W-y-o-m-i-n-g → all start with W. No others.
→ Answer: 4
---
Question 3: How many states begin with the letter “D”?
Look for D:
- Delaware
Only one? Let’s check again.
List scan:
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware... yes, only Delaware starts with D.
Wait — what about Dakota? North Dakota and South Dakota start with N and S, not D.
So only Delaware.
→ Answer: 1
---
Question 4: How many states begin with the letter “N”?
Look for N:
- New Mexico
- New York
- New Hampshire
- New Jersey
- Nevada
- North Carolina
- North Dakota
Let’s list them:
1. New Mexico
2. New York
3. New Hampshire
4. New Jersey
5. Nevada
6. North Carolina
7. North Dakota
That’s 7 states.
✔ Double-check: Any others? Nebraska? Starts with N! Oh no — we missed it!
Nebraska → starts with N.
So add that:
8. Nebraska
Any more?
New Mexico, New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska → that’s 8.
What about “New” something else? We have all four “New” states.
Is there a “North” other than Carolina and Dakota? No.
So total = 8.
Wait — let me recount from the actual grid in the image (since I can’t see it but based on standard 50-state list):
Standard list of N-states:
- Nebraska
- Nevada
- New Hampshire
- New Jersey
- New Mexico
- New York
- North Carolina
- North Dakota
Yes, 8.
But wait — in the user’s image layout, let’s simulate reading the columns:
First column: Alabama to Georgia → no N
Second: Hawaii to Maryland → no N
Third: Massachusetts to New Jersey → here: Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey → so Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey → 4
Fourth: New Mexico to South Carolina → New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota → 4 more? Wait, New Mexico and New York are also N.
Actually, better to just use full known list.
Final confirmed N-starting states:
1. Nebraska
2. Nevada
3. New Hampshire
4. New Jersey
5. New Mexico
6. New York
7. North Carolina
8. North Dakota
→ 8 states
→ Answer: 8
*(Note: Earlier I thought 7, then remembered Nebraska — important to be careful!)*

Question 5: How many more states begin with “C” than with “T”?
First, count C-states:
From list:
- California
- Colorado
- Connecticut
Are there more?
Check:
California, Colorado, Connecticut → that’s 3.
Any others? Like “Carolina”? But those are North/South Carolina — start with N and S.
“C” only: California, Colorado, Connecticut → 3
Now T-states:
- Tennessee
- Texas
Also: ?
What about “Virginia”? No. “Washington”? No.
Tennessee, Texas → that’s 2.
Wait — is there another? Like “Utah”? Starts with U.
“Maine”? M.
So only Tennessee and Texas → 2.
But wait — what about “Territory”? Not a state.
Or “District of Columbia”? Not a state.
So T = 2.
Difference: 3 - 2 = 1
The example says: O-states: Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon → 3; T-states: Tennessee, Texas → 2; difference 3-2=1.
Same logic.
→ Answer: 1

Question 6: How many states [total] begin with “K” and “V”?
Count K-states:
- Kansas
- Kentucky
That’s 2.
V-states:
- Vermont
- Virginia
That’s 2.
Total: 2 + 2 = 4
Fill in blanks: ___ + ___ = ___
So: 2 + 2 = 4
→ Answer: 2 + 2 = 4

So only 2 S-states.
