Part 1: 1st to 10th Multiple Choice Questions

1. 16 oranges are crushed to extract 5 bottles of orange juice. How many bottles of orange
juice can be extracted from crushing 64 oranges?
A. 5
B. 10
C. 15
D. 20
Answer: D
Solution:
Using Ratio and Proportion:
16: 5 = oranges: bottles
16: 5 = 64: bottles
5 × 64 = 320
320 ÷ 16 = 20

2. Counting numbers from 4 to 12 are to be separated into two groups where both groups
have a sum of 36. One group will have 5 numbers and the other one will have 4. Note that all
numbers must be used. On the group with 5 numbers, what is the greatest number?
A. 7
B. 10
C. 11
D. None of these
Answer: D
Solution:
4 + 5 + 6 + 9 + 12 = 36
7 + 8 + 10 + 11 = 36

3. Mark and Elon met at the gallery on January 7th. Both of them agreed that they would meet
in the gallery every 4 days. Which of the following dates will they meet at the same gallery?
A. February 8th
B. January 25th
C. January 29th
D. None of the above
Answer: A
Solution:
Since both visit the gallery every 4 days, the number of days after January 7th should be
divisible by 4. From the choices, the only possible choice is February 8th.

4. Which of the following statements give the largest value?

A. one-eights of 32
B. one-fourths of 24
C. one-half of 15
D. one-seventh of 56
Answer: D
Solution:
Solution:
One-eights of 32 = 4
One-fourths of 24 = 6
One-half of 15 = 7.5
One-seventh of 56 = 8

5. Which of the following choices has the same analogy as the given pairs?
1234:235
527:815
A. 223:422
B. 426:618
C. 772:628
D. None of the above
Answer: C
Solution:
Both pairs are just the sum of every digit
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10: 2 + 3 + 5 = 10
5 + 2 + 7 = 14: 8 + 1 + 5 = 14
Thus,
7 + 7 + 2 = 16 ∶ 6 + 2 + 8 = 16

6. A hotel building has 13 levels. The first level is the receiving area while the rest of the levels
have hotel rooms. The number of hotel rooms on each level is the same as the other levels.
There are 15 rooms on every floor. How many rooms in total does the hotel building have?
A. 165
B. 160
C. 180
D. None of these
Answer: C
Since the 1st is the receiving area, then it means that there are 12 floors with 15 in each floor.
So,
 15 × 12 = 180

7. A vendor wants to get 300-gram portions from a sack of rice powder weighing 1.3
kilograms. He uses a weighing scale, but this scale can only measure at most 150-grams. At
most how many times must the vendor use the weighing scale to divide the rice powder?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 8
Answer: D
Solution:
So, let’s say we have 4 containers of 300-gram rice and 1 container of 100-gram rice which
in total is 1.3kg. Then, we divide 1300 by 150 to know how many times the scale will be
used. So,
1300 ÷ 150 = 8 r. 100
Which means that the scale is used 8 times.

8. The clock at which Maria starts to run shows 10:45 AM. When she stopped running, the
clock showed 10:59 AM. How many seconds did she run?
A. 12
B. 14
C. 730
D. 840
Answer: D
Solution:
Since the hour is just the same, we can subtract the minutes directly,
59 − 45 = 14
Then multiply 14 by the number of seconds within a minute,
14 × 60 = 840

9. There are 64 gums in a jar. Every kid after another takes half of the gums until one gum is
left in the jar. At least how many children are there?

A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8
Answer: B
Divide 64 up until 1 is left,
64 ÷ 2 = 32
32 ÷ 2 = 16
 16 ÷ 2 = 8
8÷2=4
4÷2=2
2÷2=1
Then count how many times we divided, 6 is the answer.

10. Hailey wants to build two houses for her dog and cat. She needs 42 wooden planks for
the doghouse and 38 for the cat kennel. If he already has 7/10 of the total number of wooden
planks, how many wooden planks does he still need to get?
A. 20
B. 21
C. 24
D. 25
Answer. C
First add all planks needed,
38 + 42 = 80
Then multiply 7/10 to 80
7
× 80 = 56
10
Next, subtract 56 from 80
80 − 56 = 24

Part 2. 11th to 25th Open-ended Questions

11. Six circles are connected by lines as shown in the figure below. At least how many colors
are needed to paint the circles such that there are no two circles connected by a line with the
same color?
Answer: 3
Solution:
Let’s say we have colors red-blue-green,

Thus, 3.

12. The illustration below shows a row of 6 squares formed by 25 candlesticks. At least how
many more candlesticks are needed to make a row of 25 squares?

Answer: 76
Solution:
Subsequent squares will just be made up of 4 candlesticks. So, 25 squares minus 6 squares,
which is given, is equal to 19. Then,
19 × 4 = 76

13. How many possible counting numbers can replace S such that the value of the expression
below is a whole number?
121÷ S
Answer: 3
Solution:
Factors of 121: 11 × 11, 1 × 121
Count how many factors: 3

14. I am thinking of a three-digit number. All digits are even, and the units digit is twice the
tens digit. If no digit is repeated, and none of the digits is zero, how many possible three-digit
numbers am I thinking?
Answer: 4
Solution:
Case 1:
Tens digit is 2:
624
824
Case 2:
Tens digit is 4:
248
648

15. Kier has 12 soccer balls. For each ball that he shoots perfectly inside the goal, his coach
will give him an additional 2 balls. He shoots a total of 40 balls. How many balls were
perfectly shot inside the goal?
Answer: 14
Solution:
Since Kier has originally 12 soccer balls and he was able to shoot a total 40, it means that he
received 40 − 12 = 28 balls in total. This also means that he was able to shoot perfectly 28 ÷
2 = 14 times.

16. Nine points are marked on a grid composed of 72 unit-squares. Form a right triangle
using three points as its vertices. What could be the largest possible area of the triangle in
square units?

Answer: 6
Solution:
 1 1
Area of triangle = (b × h) = (3 × 4)
2 2
=6

17. At most how many 2 × 2 × 2 blocks can be packed into an empty box measuring 4 × 4 ×
4?
Answer: 8

Solution:
4 × 4 × 4 ÷ (2 × 2 × 2) = 8

18. Year 2024 is in the 21st century. Ferdinand Magellan who accidentally stumbled upon
the Philippines, died 503 years ago. In which century did Magellan die?

20. Six small trampolines are arranged in a circle. If you jumped first on number 4, then
jumped on number 5, then jumped to the next trampoline following the arrow
(counterclockwise), where would you land on the 50th jump?

Answer: 5
Solution:
If we make it into straight line, we would have a pattern of,
4 − 5 − 6 − 7 − 15 − 8
Since we need to find 50 jump,
th

50 ÷ 6 = 48 r. 2
From the pattern, the 2nd number is 5.

21. You wrote a number sentence using seven 7s and some addition (+), multiplication (×),
and subtraction (−) signs to make an equation equal to 77. What was the number sentence
you wrote?

Answer: 7 × 7 + 7 × 7 − 7 − 7 − 7 = 77
Solution:
The only possible combination is
7 × 7 + 7 × 7 − 7 − 7 − 7 = 77

22. The map below shows the corresponding toll price of each road in a network of toll roads.
How much in dollars would you pay if you chose the most expensive route from A to Z? (Each
toll road can only be passed once)
Answer: 47
Solution:
The most expensive route is,
A − M − P − G − H − Z = 10 + 8 + 6 + 12 + 11 = $47

23. Jean and Kris swept the floor together at the same time. It took them 20 minutes to finish
the job. Jean swept thrice as much of the part of the floor as Kris. If Kris swept the floor by
herself at the same speed, how many minutes would it have taken her to finish the job?
Answer: 80
Solution:
Since both of them can completely clean it in 20 minutes and Kris contributed for one-fourths
of the whole floor being cleaned, it means that Kris can clean the whole floor in,
20 × 4 = 80 minutes

24. There are 5 blue balls, 4 red balls, and 6 green balls mixed inside a box. After picking a
blue ball first, what is the probability of picking another blue ball? Answer in simplest
fraction form.

Answer:
Solution:
Total number of balls 15: if one blue ball is picked already then,
15 − 1 = 14
Since we need to find the probability of having a blue ball, count the number of remaining
balls after picking one and divide it by the total remaining ball. In this case,
5−1=4
So,
 4 2
=
14 7

25. Ronnel ate a total of 81 grapes in 6 days. If each day he ate 5 grapes more than the
previous day, how many grapes did he eat on the 6th day?
Answer: 26
Solution:
Note that except for the first day, Ronnel ate 5 grapes more than the previous day. Which
means that, starting on the second day, he ate 5 more than the first day. So,
Day 2: 5
Day 3: 10
Day 4: 15
Day 5: 20
Day 6: 25
5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 = 75
Then, we subtract it by the total grapes he ate which is,
81 − 75 = 6
And divide it by the number of days,
6÷6=1
And add it to the number of grapes eaten on the last day,
25 + 1 = 26
