Fill in the blanks with the correct answer
Question 01
20 tens is the same as…
(A) 2
(B) 20
(C) 200
(D) 2000
Answer: C
20 tens is the same as 200.
This is because 20 tens = 20 × 10 = 200.
Question 02
Complete the following by counting backwards.
88, …., 78, 73
(A) 80
(B) 81
(C) 82
(D) 83
Answer: D
Let’s count backwards from 88 to fill in the missing number:
88, … , 78, 73
Notice that from 78 to 73, it decreases by 5.
So, let’s apply the same pattern:
78 − 5 = 73
88 − 5 = 83
So, the missing number is 83.
The complete sequence is:
88, 83, 78, 73.
Question 03
42 more than 31 is…
(A) seventy-one
(B) seventy-three
(C) eleven
(D) twelve
Answer:
42 more than 31 means you add 42 to 31:
31 + 42 = 73
So, 42 more than 31 is 73 (seventy-three)
Question 04
12 less than 77 is…
(A) sixty-four
(B) sixty-five
(C) sixty-six
(D) eighty-nine
Answer: B
12 less than 77 means you subtract 12 from 77:
77 – 12 = 65
So, 12 less than 77 is 65 (sixty-five).
Question 05
There are eight sticks in a bundle. If there are altogether 10 bundles and 22 loose sticks, what is the total number of sticks?
(A) 80
(B) 90
(C) 101
(D) 102
Answer: D
Let’s work it out step by step:
- Each bundle has 8 sticks.
- There are 10 bundles.
So, the number of sticks in the bundles is:
10 × 8 = 80 sticks
- There are also 22 loose sticks.
Now, add the sticks from the bundles and the loose sticks together:
80 + 22 = 102
So, the total number of sticks is 102.
Question 06
What is the missing number?
| 34 | 52 | ? |
| 35 | 53 | 71 |
(A) 70
(B) 69
(C) 68
(D) 67
Answer: A
Look at the relationship between the numbers in the first column and the second column:
- 34 → 35 (Add 1)
- 52 → 53 (Add 1)
Following this pattern, we add 1 to the ? in the top row to get 71 in the bottom row.
So, the missing number is:
70
Question 07
Arrange the numbers from the greatest to the smallest.
89, 72, 88, 90, 34, 23

Answer: D
Let’s arrange the numbers from the greatest to the smallest (dari yang terbesar sampai yang terkecil):
90, 89, 88, 72, 34, 23
So, the numbers in order are:
90, 89, 88, 72, 34, 23.
