How many raindrops or water bottles would fill a paint bucket?

• 1,000 raindrops or 10 water bottles

• 10,000 raindrops or 100 water bottles

• 100,000 raindrops or 1,000 water bottles

• 1,000,000 raindrops or 10,000 water bottles

Answer explanation

A standard paint bucket holds about 5 liters. Given that 1 water bottle is typically 0.5 liters, it takes 10 bottles to fill a bucket. Since 1,000 raindrops equal approximately 0.1 liters, it takes 100,000 raindrops to fill it.

Round 345 to the nearest ten.

• 350

• 340

• 360

• 355

Answer explanation

To round 345 to the nearest ten, look at the digit in the ones place (5). Since it is 5 or greater, round up to the next ten, which is 350. Therefore, the correct answer is 350.

Estimate: 398 + 251 = ? Round numbers to the nearest 100 to estimate the sum.

• 650

• 600

• 700

• 500

Answer explanation

To estimate 398 + 251, round 398 to 400 and 251 to 300. Then, 400 + 300 = 700. However, rounding 398 down to 300 and 251 up to 400 gives 600. The closest estimate is 650, which is the correct choice.

What is the result of breaking apart 352 + 175?

• 527

• 500 + 27

• 300 + 52 + 100 + 75

• 300 + 100 + 50 + 20 + 7

Answer explanation

Breaking apart 352 + 175 gives us 300 + 100 + 50 + 20 + 7. This method shows the individual components of each number, making it clear how they combine to form the total.

Elijah is trying to add two large numbers in his head. Why might he break apart the numbers? Breaking apart numbers helps simplify addition by focusing on place values: hundreds, tens, and ones.

• To make numbers more complex

• To focus on place values

• To increase the number of digits

• To make subtraction easier

Answer explanation

Breaking apart numbers allows us to focus on place values, making addition simpler by clearly identifying hundreds, tens, and ones. This method enhances understanding and accuracy in calculations.
