Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Zac and Jesse's family drove to the beach. They knew the trip would take 9 hours. They stopped for lunch after 3 hours. How much longer would they be driving after lunch?

Answer: 6 hours

Nine minus three is six. The family had to leave home early in the morning to arrive by bedtime. Luckily they had a DVD player in the family van.

Answer: 9

Each hour has 60 minutes so the boys can each have one DVD in their half of the 9 hour trip. Jesse loves "Star Trek". When it is his turn he always picks the same DVD even though the rest of the family is sick of it.

Answer: 8

Eight biscuits must be under the seat if only two are left in the box as 10-2 = 8. Isabel prefers leftover hamburger bun from lunch to her dog biscuits.

4. The family van has eight seats. If there are four people riding in the van, how many seats are not being used?

Answer: 4

There are four empty seats since the others are occupied by a family of four. The dog Isabel rides in her crate in the back of the van with the luggage.

5. Zac and Jesse have a musical family. They have packed two guitars, a recorder, an electric keyboard and an African drum. How many instruments are in the van?

Answer: 5

There are five instruments in the van. The family will have a sing-along campfire at the beach before they return home.

6. The cash toll on the George Washington Bridge is $12.00. If Daddy pays with a $20 bill, how much change will he receive?

Answer: $8

When the toll taker sees the $20, she has $8 in change ready to hand the driver: $20-$12 = $8. On the ride home, the westbound toll is free.

Answer: 4

Only four cars were left: one half of 8 = 4. The security man was apologetic, but due to the flight time Elliott could not wait around for them to track down the four missing cars.

Answer: 2:00 pm

2:00 pm was the new scheduled departure time. Elliott was the only person happy about the delay. It gave him time to go back to the security check point and retrieve his Matchbox cars.

Answer: 7

Six suitcases plus a car seat equals seven things to claim. It's a good thing the family had rented a van to drive to the beach!

Answer: 10

There were ten people at the cottage for dinner. Two families of two boys and two parents plus the two grandparents had dinner together at the beach. It was special to talk around the table rather than keeping in touch with phone calls and emails.
