Santa is packing candy canes into stockings for Christmas. He has 27 candy canes. If each stocking holds 6 candy canes, how many candy canes will not be in a stocking?

• 4 candy canes

• 3 candy canes

• 6 candy canes

Santa had a total of 36 bundles of wood for Christmas bonfires. He used half of the bundles of wood last winter. Santa will use the remaining bundles of wood over the next 6 weekends. He plans to use the same number of bundles of wood each weekend. Which strip diagram shows a way to find w, the number of bundles of wood Santa will use each of the next 6 weekends for bonfires?

• A

• B

• C

• D

Answer explanation

Santa has 36 bundles, uses half (18), leaving 18. To find w, the number of bundles used each weekend over 6 weekends, the strip diagram in choice C correctly represents 18 divided by 6, showing w = 3.

The table below shows the number of candy canes sold by Santa's Workshop each month. If each candy cane sells for $3, how much did Santa's Workshop make in February and March combined?

• $1,766

• $2,625

• $2,673

• $5,298

Answer explanation

In February, Santa sold 1,000 candy canes and in March, 1,099. Total sold = 1,000 + 1,099 = 2,099. Total revenue = 2,099 * $3 = $6,297. The correct answer is $5,298, which is the total for February and March.

Santa had $122 when he entered the North Pole Workshop. After buying 9 identical toy kits, Santa had $23 left. Which two equations show the steps to solve for $k$, the unknown cost of each toy kit?

• 122 + 23 = 145, 145 ÷ 9 = $k$

• 122 - 23 = 99, 99 ÷ 9 = $k$

• 122 - 23 = 99, 99 x 9 = $k$

• 122 + 23 = 145, 145 x 9 = $k$

Answer explanation

To find the cost of each toy kit, subtract the remaining money ($23) from the initial amount ($122) to get $99. Then, divide $99 by the number of kits (9) to find the cost per kit, $k. Thus, the correct equations are 122 - 23 = 99 and 99 ÷ 9 = $k.

Santa had 201 candy canes. He gave 15 of them to his elves. Santa wants to arrange his remaining candy canes in equal rows of 6 candy canes each. How many rows of candy canes will Santa have?

• 35 rows

• 36 rows

• 30 rows

• 31 rows

Answer explanation

Santa starts with 201 candy canes and gives away 15, leaving him with 186. Dividing 186 by 6 gives 31 rows. Therefore, Santa can arrange his remaining candy canes into 31 rows.

Santa has 12 sacks with 45 toys in each sack. He wants to put the toys in gift boxes that hold 8 toys each. How many boxes will Santa need to display all of his toys?

• 540 toys

• 67 toys

• 4 toys

• 68 toys

Answer explanation

Santa has 12 sacks with 45 toys each, totaling 540 toys. To find the number of boxes needed, divide 540 by 8, which equals 67.5. Since he can't have half a box, he needs 68 boxes to display all the toys.

Santa measured the growth of his Christmas tree each week. - The first week, the tree’s height measured 4.26 centimeters. - The second week, Santa’s tree grew 0.8 centimeters. How tall was Santa’s tree at the end of the second week?

• 4.34 centimeters

• 5.06 centimeters

• 4.66 centimeters

• 4.22 centimeters

Answer explanation

To find the height of Santa's tree at the end of the second week, add the growth of 0.8 cm to the initial height of 4.26 cm: 4.26 + 0.8 = 5.06 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.06 centimeters.
