Step-by-step solution for: Following Directions Worksheets
Let’s go through each question one by one. I’ll solve them step by step so you can follow along easily.
---
1. What is 15 + 10 - 25 = ?
Start with 15 + 10 → that’s 25
Then subtract 25 → 25 - 25 = 0
✔ Answer: 0
---
2. The planet we live on is ________.
We live on Earth. That’s our home planet.
✔ Answer: Earth
---
3. The two primes up to 7 are _______ and _______.
Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that have no divisors other than 1 and themselves.
Primes up to 7:
- 2 (only divisible by 1 and 2)
- 3 (only divisible by 1 and 3)
- 5 (only divisible by 1 and 5)
- 7 (only divisible by 1 and 7)
But the question says “the two primes” — maybe it means the first two? Or perhaps it’s a typo and should say “primes less than 7”? Let’s assume it wants the first two primes under 7: 2 and 3
Wait — actually, if it says “up to 7”, that includes 7. But there are four primes: 2, 3, 5, 7. Maybe it meant “the two smallest primes up to 7”? That would still be 2 and 3.
Alternatively, maybe it’s asking for two examples of primes ≤ 7. Since it says “are ___ and ___”, probably expecting any two. But safest bet: list the first two.
✔ Answer: 2 and 3
*(Note: If your teacher expects different ones like 5 and 7, check with them — but 2 and 3 are correct as the first two.)*
---
4. What is the product of 12X6?
“Product” means multiply.
12 × 6 = ?
Break it down:
10 × 6 = 60
2 × 6 = 12
60 + 12 = 72
✔ Answer: 72
---
5. What is the opposite or antonym of happy?
Opposite of happy = sad
✔ Answer: sad
---
6. Which country is the same as England?
England is part of the United Kingdom (UK). Sometimes people use “England” when they mean the whole UK, but technically:
- England ≠ UK (UK = England + Scotland + Wales + Northern Ireland)
- But in casual talk, sometimes “England” is used loosely.
However, the question says “same as England” — so likely looking for United Kingdom or UK.
But wait — maybe it’s tricking us? There’s no country *exactly* the same as England except itself. Hmm.
Actually, this might be poorly worded. Perhaps it means “what larger country includes England?” → Then answer is United Kingdom
Or maybe it’s a trick — England is not a sovereign country; it’s part of the UK.
I think best answer here is: United Kingdom
✔ Answer: United Kingdom
---
7. This city is in Alabama: B_______
Big city in Alabama starting with B?
Birmingham!
Yes — Birmingham is the largest city in Alabama.
✔ Answer: Birmingham
---
8. The number 827 is odd.
Is 827 odd? Look at last digit: 7 → which is odd → so yes, the whole number is odd.
✔ Answer: True
---
9. What is the meaning of sarcasm?
Sarcasm is when someone says something but means the opposite — often to be funny or rude.
Example: You spill milk, and someone says, “Great job!” — they don’t really mean it’s great.
So definition: Saying the opposite of what you mean, usually to mock or tease.
✔ Answer: Saying the opposite of what you mean, often to be funny or mean.
---
10. In the Planet Dogs and cats are basically opposites of each other. Is this true? (short answer either yes or no)
Dogs and cats aren’t opposites — they’re just different animals. Opposites would be like hot/cold, big/small.
They behave differently, but not true opposites.
✔ Answer: No
---
11. On the back of this sheet, draw a picture of your favorite animal.
This is an art task — I can’t draw for you, but you can pick your favorite animal and sketch it! Maybe a dog, cat, dragon, etc.
You do this part yourself 😊
---
12. Don’t forget the bathroom ground, treat and try.
This seems like a reminder note — maybe from a parent or teacher? Not a math/science question.
Probably means: Remember to clean the bathroom floor, give yourself a treat, and keep trying!
Not something to “solve” — just read and remember.
---
13. Once you have read all of the directions and have read the entire test (all 24), need to write your name on the spot provided and turn this page over. When you turn the page over, hand in your paper to the teacher, and don't let anyone else the secret of this test. Take out a pencil to read on your homework and work quietly. Do not make a noise or let anyone find your secret!
Again — instructions, not a problem to solve. Just follow them when you’re done.
---
Now, since questions 11–13 are not solvable problems (they’re actions or reminders), we focus on answering 1–10 clearly.
Let me double-check my answers quickly:
1. 15+10=25; 25-25=0 ✔️
2. Earth ✔️
3. Primes up to 7: 2,3,5,7 → picked first two: 2 and 3 ✔️
4. 12×6=72 ✔️
5. Opposite of happy = sad ✔️
6. England is part of United Kingdom ✔️
7. City in Alabama starting with B = Birmingham ✔️
8. 827 ends in 7 → odd → True ✔️
9. Sarcasm = saying opposite to mock/tease ✔️
10. Dogs and cats not opposites → No ✔️
All good!
