GRADE 5 – 2016 TEAM SELECTION – Answer Sheet
11. Adrian has 24 fish in his aquarium.
Twenty‐five percent of these are goldfish, 1/3 are angelfish, and the remaining are White Cloud
minnows.
How many White Cloud minnows are in Adrian’s aquarium? 10 minnows
Goldfish: 25% of 24 total fish; .25 X 24 = 6 or ¼ X 24 = 6 goldfish
Angelfish: 1/3 of 24 total fish; 1/3 X 24 = 8 angelfish
Goldfish + angelfish: 6 + 8 = 14 fish
White Cloud minnows: 24 – 14 = 10 White Cloud minnows
12. Find the sum of the two mixed numbers below. 6 7/15
two and four‐fifths
three and two‐thirds
Write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form.
2 4/5 + 3 2/3 = 2 12/15 + 3 10/15 = 5 22/15 = 6 7/15
13. Tamara has only pennies, nickels, and dimes in her new piggybank. 32 coins
She has two more pennies than nickels, and twice as many nickels as dimes.
The value of these coins is $1.34.
How many coins are in Tamara’s new piggybank?
Use Guess and Check:
First I try 5 dimes which will give you 10 nickels and 12 pennies
($.50 + $.50 + $.12 = $1.12)
I need more dines so I’ll try 6 dines which will give you 12 nickels and 14 pennies
($.60 + $.60 + $.14 = $1.34) It works!
6 + 12 + 14 = 32 coins
14. Fluffy weighs 12.5 pounds. Tabby weighs 20% more than Fluffy.
What is the combined weight of Tabby and Fluffy? 27.5 pounds
Tabby: 20% of 12.5; .2 X 12.5 or 1/5 X 12.5 = 2.5 pounds
12.5 + 2.5 = 15 pounds for Tabby
Total weight: 12.5 + 15 = 27.5 pounds

The table below shows the areas of land and water (in square miles) of the five smallest states in the USA. It
also shows the land and water areas of Alaska, the largest of the fifty states.
State Area of Land Area of Water Total Area
New Hampshire 8,953 397 9,350
New Jersey 7,354 1,369 8,723
Connecticut 4,842 701 5,543
Delaware 1,949 540 2,489
Rhode Island 1,034 511 1,545
Alaska 570,641 94,743 665,384
Use the information in the table to answer questions 15 and 16.
15. Which state has about one‐third of its total area taken up by water? Rhode Island
NH : 1/3 of 9,350; 1/3 X 9350 or 9350 / 3 = 3116.666… (water: 397)
NJ: 1/3 of 8,723; 1/3 X 8723 or 8723 / 3 = 2907.666… (water:1,369)
Conn: 1/3 of 5,543; 1/3 X 5543 or 5543 / 3 = 1847.666… (water: 701)
Del: 1/3 of 2,489; 1/3 X 2489 or 2489 / 3 =829.666… (water: 540)
RI: 1/3 of 1,545; 1/3 X 1545 or 1545 / 3 = 515 (water: 511)
Alaska: 1/3 of 665,384; 1/3 X 665384 or 665384 / 3 =221794.666… (water: 94,743)
In comparing the amount of water with the total area, Rhode Island is the closest to one‐third.
16. Express the total land area of the five smallest states as a percent of the land area of Alaska. Round the
answer to the nearest whole percent. 4 percent
Total land area of the five smallest states:
8,953 + 7,354 + 4,842 + 1,949 + 1,034 = 24,132
To find the percent of the land area of the five smallest states to the land area of Alaska:
24132 / 570641 ~ .042 rounded to the nearest percent is 4 percent
17. A spinner is divided into three sectors.
One‐quarter of the spinner is red, one‐third is white, and the remainder is green.
The arrow is spun once. If it lands between two sectors, it is spun again.
Find the probability that the arrow will not land in the green sector on any one spin.
Write the answer as a fraction in simplest form. 7/12
The total of the spinner that is red and white but not green: ¼ + 1/3 = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12
18. An urn contains three red and four green balls.
The balls are identical in all ways except for their color.
A box contains only green balls that are identical to the ones in the urn.
Missy takes some green balls from the box and puts them into the urn.
The probability of randomly selecting a green ball from the urn is now 2/3.
How many green balls did Missy add to the urn. 2 green balls
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License
To start with there are a total of 7 balls (green and red). Since only green balls are added, there will remain 3
red balls in the total. 2/3 represents the number of green balls compared to the total number of balls (both
green and red).
Use guess and check:
If I add one green ball there will be 8 total balls (3 red and 5 green) and the probability of getting a
green is 5/8 (this is not 2/3)
If I add two green balls there will be 9 total balls (3 red and 6 green) and the probability of getting a
green is 6/9. This is equivalent to 2/3.
The table below shows the sources of funding for a school district last year.
Local Sources
Property Taxes $1,590,000
Other Local Support $2,738,000
Sales $60,000
State Sources 33,677,000
Federal Sources $760,000
Use the information in the table to answer questions 19 and 20.
19. The table shows that there were three main sources of funding: Local, State, and Federal.
What percent of the total amount was obtained from Local Sources?
Round the answer to the nearest whole percent. 11 percent
First find the Total amount for the Local Sources:
$1,590,000 + $2,738,000 + $60,000 = $4,388,000
Then find the Total amount for the Local Sources, State Sources, and Federal Sources:
$4,388,000 + $33,677,000 + $760,000 = $38,825,000
Then find the percent of the Local Sources compared to the Total amount:
4,388,000 / 38,825,000 ~ 0.113 rounded to the nearest percent is 11 percent
20. Kaelin draws a bar graph with five bars to illustrate the data shown in the table.
The bar representing Sales id 3 units high.
Find the height of the bar representing Federal Sources. 38 units
If the bar representing Sales ($60,000) is 3 units high, you need to find out how much money is represented by
each unit: 60000 / 3 = $20,000 for each unit
Next find out how many units are needed to represent the Federal Source by dividing the Federal Source
amount by $20,000 per unit: 760,000 / 20,000 = 38 units
