Show worked answer and explanation
0.34; three tenths and four hundredths

34 hundredths can be grouped as 30 hundredths and 4 hundredths.

Question 16Chapter 12 · Decimals

Explain why 0.6 and 0.60 name the same quantity.

Show worked answer and explanation
Both represent 6 tenths or 60 hundredths

Every tenth is 10 hundredths, so 6×10 = 60 hundredths. Appending zero does not change the value.

Question 17Chapter 12 · Decimals

Show worked answer and explanation
0.68 < 0.7 < 0.75 < 0.8

Rename as hundredths: 68, 70, 75, 80 hundredths.

Question 20Chapter 12 · Decimals

Round 6.47 to the nearest tenth and explain which two tenths surround it.

Show worked answer and explanation
6.5; it lies between 6.4 and 6.5

6.47 is 0.07 above 6.4 and 0.03 below 6.5; therefore it rounds to 6.5.

Question 52Chapter 12 · Decimals

A student says 0.4 = 4/100. Explain and correct the claim.

Show worked answer and explanation
Incorrect; 0.4=4/10=40/100

The 4 occupies the tenths place, not the hundredths place.

Question 53Chapter 12 · Decimals

Write an inequality comparing 0.72 and 0.7, and explain using hundredths.

Show worked answer and explanation
0.72 > 0.7

0.7=0.70, and 72 hundredths >70 hundredths.

O
Show worked answer and explanation
65°

Center the protractor on the vertex, align 0° with the baseline, and read the matching scale at the slanted ray.

Question 37Chapter 15 · Angles

Chapter 16 — Lines and Shapes

Question 40Chapter 16 · Lines and Shapes

Are the horizontal and vertical grid lines perpendicular? Explain.

Show worked answer and explanation
Yes, they meet at 90°

Their intersection forms a right angle; perpendicular lines meet at right angles.

Question 41Chapter 16 · Lines and Shapes

Draw two distinct horizontal lines on the grid. Why are they parallel?

Show worked answer and explanation
Two separated horizontal lines; same direction and constant separation

Parallel lines in a plane never intersect; these have constant distance apart.

Question 42Chapter 16 · Lines and Shapes

Draw a vertical line n on the grid and a line m perpendicular to it. Then draw a different line p parallel to m.

Show worked answer and explanation
A valid perpendicular horizontal line and a second parallel horizontal line

Use the grid or a set square; the horizontal lines meet the vertical at 90° and remain parallel.

Question 43Chapter 16 · Lines and Shapes

Name one property all rectangles (including squares) share. Explain one way a nonsquare rectangle differs from a square.

Show worked answer and explanation
Both have four right angles; a nonsquare rectangle has unequal adjacent side lengths

A square is a rectangle with all four sides equal; a general rectangle can have unequal adjacent sides.

Question 44Chapter 16 · Lines and Shapes

How many reflection axes does a nonsquare rectangle have? Identify them.

Show worked answer and explanation
2; the horizontal and vertical midlines

Folding along either midline matches the halves; diagonals are not symmetry axes unless it is a square.

Question 45Chapter 16 · Lines and Shapes

On the grid, draw a point 3 squares to the left of the vertical mirror line, then draw its reflected partner.

Mirror line
Show worked answer and explanation
Partner 3 squares right of the mirror line at the same height

Reflect across the vertical axis by keeping equal perpendicular distances.

Question 60Chapter 16 · Lines and Shapes

Explain why two lines that never meet on the page may not be parallel.

Show worked answer and explanation
A finite drawing does not show the infinite lines; their extensions could intersect

Parallel requires the complete extended lines to never meet, not just the visible segments.

Question 61Chapter 16 · Lines and Shapes

Draw one pair of parallel lines and one perpendicular line on the grid. Label both relationships.

Show worked answer and explanation
Correct labeled parallel and perpendicular arrangement

Perpendicular pair forms 90°; parallel pair have same direction.

Question 62Chapter 16 · Lines and Shapes

A shape has one vertical mirror axis. A point is 4 grid squares left of it. Where is its image?

Mirror line
Show worked answer and explanation
4 squares right at the same height

A reflection preserves perpendicular distance to the axis.

Chapter 17 — Properties of Cuboids

The face dimensions are 8×5, 8×3, and 5×3, with two of each.

Question 63Chapter 17 · Properties of Cuboids

A rectangular box has six faces. Are all six faces necessarily squares? Explain.

Show worked answer and explanation
No; faces are rectangles, and only in a cube must they all be squares

A 2×3×4 box has rectangular faces of three different shapes.

Question 64Chapter 17 · Properties of Cuboids

Why might six rectangles with the correct face sizes still be an invalid cuboid net?

Show worked answer and explanation
They may be connected in a layout that overlaps or leaves an opening when folded

Face count and dimensions are necessary, but a foldable arrangement is also required.
