The following questions were taken from the Spring 2019 Grade 5 Mathematics Standard of Learning test, which is available in the Virginia Department of Education's Teaching, Learning, and Assessment section. And while the term “easy” is subjective, these are five math problems that don’t require graphing and don’t incorporate geometry. Use your cursor or finger to highlight and reveal the answers. Calculators allowed. Pencils up! Question 1: Jeremy ran 1.4 miles each day for eight days. Amelia ran 2.1 miles each day for eight days. What is the difference in the total distance Amelia and Jeremy ran in these eight days? Answer choices: A. 0.7 miles, B. 3.5 miles, C. 5.6 miles, D. 28 miles Correct answer: C: 5.6 miles.
