Summer Review Sheets — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. A camp buys 9 sleeping bags at $37 each and pays $18 for shipping. What is the total cost?
A) $333
B) $341
C) $351
D) $361
First multiply 9 times $37 = $333 for the sleeping bags. Then add the $18 shipping: $333 + $18 = $351.
2. A jar holds 34 of a liter of lemonade. If Ava drinks 14 of a liter, what fraction remains?
A) 14
B) 24
C) 38
D) 12
Subtract the fractions: 34 minus 14 = 24. Since both fractions have the same denominator, just subtract the numerators: 3 minus 1 = 2.
3. A rectangular garden is 16 feet long and 9 feet wide. What is its perimeter?
A) 25 ft
B) 48 ft
C) 50 ft
D) 144 ft
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2 times length plus 2 times width: (2 times 16) + (2 times 9) = 32 + 18 = 50 feet.
4. A passage says "Laughter echoed across the lake as the canoes glided under the warm afternoon sky." What is the mood of this scene?
A) Frightening and tense
B) Sad and lonely
C) Joyful and peaceful
D) Angry and chaotic
Words like "laughter," "glided," and "warm afternoon sky" create a happy, calm feeling. The scene describes fun and relaxation, so the mood is joyful and peaceful.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A camp kitchen makes 11 trays of 24 muffins. That is 264 muffins total.
Multiply 11 trays times 24 muffins: 11 times 24 = 264. Break it down: 10 times 24 is 240, plus 1 times 24 is 24, so 240 + 24 = 264.
2. A beach stand shares 504 snow cones equally over 7 days. It sells 72 per day.
504 divided by 7 equals 72. You can check: 7 times 72 = 504.
3. A bucket holds 1.5 liters of water. Three buckets hold 4.5 liters.
Multiply 3 times 1.5: 3 times 1 is 3, plus 3 times 0.5 is 1.5, so 3 + 1.5 = 4.5 liters.
4. A hiking trail has 40 markers. If 38 of them are red, there are 15 red markers.
To find 38 of 40, divide 40 by 8 to get 5, then multiply by 3: 5 times 3 = 15 red markers.
5. Using clues in a text to figure out what a word means is called using context.
Context clues are the words and sentences around an unfamiliar word that help you figure out its meaning without a dictionary.
