Grade 4 Mathematics Answer Key
1. Answer: B
The missing number sentence in the fact family is the other division number sentence, which reads: 42 ÷ 6 = 7.
2. Answer: B
The distance Isabelle drives can be rounded to 1,500 miles; 1,500 miles divided by 5 days is equal to 300 miles driven per day.
3.Answer: A
The values in the second column are indeed 12 more than the values in the first column. Note. 16 is 12 more than 4; 19 is 12 more than 7; 24 is 12 more than 12; 26 is 12 more than 14; and 31 is 12 more than 19.
4. Answer: D
An obtuse angle has a measure greater than 90 degrees. It may be greater than 120 degrees, but that is not a requirement.
5. Answer: A
There are 16 ounces in one pound. Thus, her approximate weight, in ounces, is equal to the product of 27 and 16; 27x16=432. She weighs approximately 432 ounces.
6. Answer: C
A normal bathtub holds approximately 25 gallons of water, give or take some gallons. The other choices are much too small.
7. Answer: B
The dimensions of the box round to 20 inches, 10 inches, and 10 inches. The volume of a box can be determined by finding the product of the dimensions. Thus, the approximate volume is equal to 20x10x10, or 2,000 cubic inches.
8. Answer: B
A cube has 8 vertices, with 4 vertices at the top of the cube and 4 more vertices at the bottom of the cube.
