Grade 6 math quiz

John found a box in his attic with a side length of 64 inches. What would be the length of one side if he were to construct a square with the same area?

• 9 feet

• 8 feet

• 7 feet

• I have no idea

Answer explanation

The area of a square is calculated by squaring one of its sides. So, the area of the box found in the attic is 64 feet * 64 feet = 4096 square feet. If John wants to construct a square with the same area, the length of one side would be the square root of the area, which is the square root of 4096. That gives us 8 feet, which corresponds to the correct answer.

John has 45 apples and he wants to distribute them equally among his 39 friends. How many apples will each friend get?

John has 12 apple trees. Each tree produces 74 apples. How many apples does John have in total?

• 888

• 884

• 892

• 896

Answer explanation

The question asks for the total number of apples John has. It mentions John has 12 trees and each tree produces 74 apples. So, to find the total, we do multiplication (12 trees * 74 apples/tree). This calculation gives us 888 apples which is the correct answer.

What is 892 divided by 4?

• 223

• 200

• 250

• 300

Answer explanation

The answer to the question, 'What is 892 divided by 4?' is 223. This is because when 892 is divided by 4, the result is indeed 223. Therefore, the correct option is '223'.

What is 79 times 81

• 15

• 25

• 20

• 30

Answer explanation

The area of a square is calculated by squaring the length of one side. Hence, if the area is 225 square meters, the length of one side is the square root of 225, which is 15 meters. Therefore, the correct choice is 15.

What is 8404 divided by 4?

• 2101

• 2000

• 2100

John has 5403 apples. He wants to divide them equally among his 3 friends. How many apples will each friend get?

• 1801

• 2000

• 1500

• 1700

Answer explanation

The question is asking how many apples each friend will get if John divides 5403 apples equally among 3 friends. The total number of apples (5403) is divided by the number of friends (3) which results to 1801. So, each friend will get 1801 apples.

John is a math teacher. He gave his students a task to find all the numbers from a list that are divisible by 3. The list of numbers he gave are:

• 4728

• 6981

• 8796

• 6780

Answer explanation

The question asks for numbers from a provided list that are divisible by 3. The numbers divisible by 3 are those whose sum of digits is a multiple of 3. Checking each option, we can conclude that 4728 (4+7+2+8 = 21 is divisible by 3) and 6780 (6+7+8+0 = 21 is divisible by 3) are divisible by 3.

John has 4 numbers written on pieces of paper: 2177, 1232, 6798, and 7776. He needs to pick the one that is divisible by 7 for his math homework. Which number should he pick?

• 2177
