Fill in the Blank

A box can hold 10 books. If there are 55 books to pack, how many boxes will you need? You will need ____ boxes.

Answer: 6

Dividing 55 books by 10 books per box shows that 5 full boxes can be packed and 1 additional box will be required for the leftover books.

Multiple Choice

If 2x = 8, what is the value of x?

2486

To find x, divide both sides by 2, giving x = 4. The other options come from incorrect arithmetic operations.

Number Answer

There are 25 students in a class. If 5 students are absent, how many students are present?

Answer: 20

Subtracting the absent students (5) from the total students (25) gives 25 - 5 = 20 students who are present.
