True or false: You cannot calculate the volume of a 2-dimensional figure.
True. A figure must be 3-dimensional in order to calculate volume.

A rectangular prism has a length of 4 feet, a width of 2 feet, and a height of 6 feet. What is the volume?
48 cubic feet
100
True or false: The x-axis on the coordinate plane is horizontal, and the y-axis is vertical.
True

A pizza is cut into 16 slices: 4 cheese, 8 pepperoni, and 4 vegetarian. What fraction of the pizza has pepperonis or vegetables on it?
1/2

Examine the following ordered pair: (3, -2). Will you be plotting a point up or down from the 0 on the y-axis?
Down. The y-coordinate, -2, is a negative number, which means we will be plotting a point down from the 0 on the y-axis.

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a prism?
length x width x height

A cube has a length of 5 inches. What is the volume?
125 cubic inches

Observe the following ordered pair: (4, 5). Which number is the x-coordinate? Which number is the y-coordinate?
4 is the x-coordinate; 5 is the y-coordinate

Alyssa had $5.00 in quarters. On Saturday she spent 1/4 of her quarters. On Sunday she spent 1/5 of her remaining quarters. What fraction of her quarters were left?
3/5 She began with 20 quarters (there are 4 quarters in $1, and therefore 20 quarters in $5). 1/4 of 20 is 5, meaning that she spent 5 of her quarters, leaving her with 15. 1/5 of 15 is 3, meaning she spent 3 of her remaining quarters, leaving her with 12. Our final fraction is 12/20, or, simplified, 3/5.

A rectangular prism has a length of 4 ft. The width is half the length, and the height is the sum of the length and width. What is the volume?
48 cubic feet
300
What is volume measuring?
The amount of cubic units it takes to fill a prism (think, container).

A rectangular prism has a length of 4 feet, a width of 3 feet, and a height of 9 feet. What is the volume?
108 cubic feet

If your ordered pair has two positive numbers, which quadrant will you plot your point on the coordinate plane?
Quadrant 2

Mr. Leonard had 2/5 of a yard of fabric left after sewing his daughter a dress. He used 1/2 of the left over fabric to sew a tie for himself. How much of the 2/5 yard of fabric was left after he sewed his tie?
1/5

A pizza has been divided into 10 slices. Mitch ate 1/2 of the slices immediately, and took 1/5 of the remaining slices to school the next day. What fraction of the original pizza remained?
2/5
400
True or false: Volume is measured in squared units.
False. Volume is measured in cubic units (for example, cubic inches or cubic feet).
400
A rectangular prism has a length that is twice as long as its width. The width is 9 inches less than its height. Its height is 11 inches.
88 cubic inches

Observe the following ordered pair: (-7, 3) Which quadrant will you plot your point in?
Quadrant 1

Sarah and her two friends bought 30 pieces of candy. They each ate 2 pieces. What fraction of the candy do they have left?
4/5
400
Examine the following ordered pair: (3, 7). Will we be plotting a point to the right or left of the 0 on the x-axis?
Right. The x-coordinate, 3, is a positive number, so we will be plotting a point to the right of the 0.
500
True or false: The length, width, and height of a cube are all the same.
True. If you know that one side of a cube is, say, 2 feet long, you know that the other two sides are also 2 feet.

A rectangular prism has a length of 2.5 yards, a width of 1 yard, and a height of 3.4 yards. What is the volume?
8.5 cubic yards

Imagine you have plotted a point for the following ordered pair: (5, -2). If your plot point is under translation (x - 1, y +4), will your plot point be in the same quadrant, or will it change quadrants?
The plot point will change quadrants.
