1- C
3times of 8 rows of chairs with 4 chairs per day is: $$3 × 8 × 4$$

2- 42
3spaghetti with meatballs cost: $$3 × 8 = 24$$
3bowls of bean soup cost: $$3 × 6 = 18$$
3spaghetti with meatballs + 3bowls of bean soup cost: $$24 +  18 = 42$$

3- C
1 day: 24 hours so 7 days $$= 7 × 24 = 168$$ hours

4- B
Three-digit odd numbers that have a 6 in the hundreds place and a 3 in the tens place is 637. 632 and 636 are even numbers.

5- A
Subtract hours: $$14– 1 = 13$$
Subtract the minutes: $$15 – 30 = – 15$$
The minutes are less than 0, so:
• Add 60 to minutes ( $$-15 +60 =45$$ minutes)
• Subtract 1 from hours $$(13 – 1 =12)$$

6- B
Olivia wants to divide 84 pastilles into boxes of 4 pastilles, so $$84 ÷ 4 = 21$$ is the number of boxes.

7- C
The football team should buy 11 uniforms that each uniform cost $20 so they should pay$$(11×20) 220$$. Therefore, choice C is correct answer: $$(20 × 10) + (20 × 1) = 20(10+1) =20×11=220$$ 8- A Add 92 and 54 students to know the whole number of students. 9- A the model for the fraction is divided into 100 equal parts. We shade 92 parts of these 100 parts that it’s equal to $$\frac{92}{100}$$ 10- D $$90 × 25 =2,250$$ Looking for the best resource to help you succeed on the 3rd Grade MCAS Math test? ## The Best Books to Ace the 3rd Grade MCAS Math Test$11.99
