A school is planning a field trip and needs to organize buses for transportation. Each bus can carry 48 students. If the school needs to transport 1,152 students, how many buses are required? After the trip, each student brings back 5 souvenirs. Calculate the total number of souvenirs.

• 120 buses, 5,760 souvenirs

• 24 buses, 5,760 souvenirs

• 24 buses, 1,152 souvenirs

• 48 buses, 2,304 souvenirs

Answer explanation

To transport 1,152 students, 24 buses are needed (1152 students / 48 students per bus). After the trip, 1152 students bring back 5 souvenirs each, totaling 5,760 souvenirs (1152 students * 5 souvenirs per student). Therefore, the correct answer is 24 buses, 5,760 souvenirs.

A group of students is conducting a science experiment involving plant growth. They plant 3 different types of seeds (A, B, and C) in 24 plots each. If each seed type needs 2 liters of water per plot per week, calculate the total amount of water needed for all seeds in 4 weeks.

• 576 liters

• 288 liters

• 1152 liters

• 192 liters

Answer explanation

The total amount of water needed is calculated by multiplying 3 (types of seeds) by 24 (plots) by 2 (liters per plot per week) by 4 (weeks), resulting in 1152 liters

You are tasked with planning a community library's new book purchase. The library allocates $15 per book and plans to buy 1,200 books. They receive a 10% discount on the total purchase. Calculate the total amount spent after the discount.

• $16,200

• $18,000

• $14,400

• $12,600

Answer explanation

Total amount spent after the 10% discount is $16,200. Calculation: $15/book * 1,200 books = $18,000. 10% discount = $18,000 * 0.10 = $1,800. Total spent = $18,000 - $1,800 = $16,200.

A farmer distributes his harvest of 2,784 oranges among 4 local markets equally and then decides to package the remaining oranges into boxes containing 24 oranges each. Calculate how many boxes he can fill and how many oranges are left over.

• 29 boxes, 0 oranges left

• 116 boxes, 0 oranges left

• 115 boxes, 4 oranges left

• 115 boxes, 16 oranges left

Answer explanation

To find the number of boxes, divide the remaining oranges (2,784) by 24. This gives 115 boxes. The remaining oranges are 2,784 - (115 * 24) = 4.

A school decides to build a new playground and needs to calculate the amount of fencing required. The playground is rectangular, measuring 150 feet by 90 feet. Calculate the perimeter and then determine how many 15-foot sections of fencing are needed.

• 96 sections

• 80 sections

• 32 sections

• 16 sections

Answer explanation

The perimeter of the rectangular playground is 2(150+90) = 480 feet. Dividing by 15-foot sections gives 480/15 = 32 sections on each side, totaling 32*2 = 64 sections. Adding the shorter sides gives 64+32 = 96 sections needed.
