Smarter Than a 5th Grader - Random Trivia Questions

This week's themed quiz comes from information in the Everyday Mathematics Student Reference Book, which is targeted for 9- to 12-year-olds, so the questions actually range up to the sixth grade. To make it even harder, you have no choices to select from and no cheats (Google on your own guilty conscience). And sorry, no million-dollar prize this week; I spent my T.J. Maxx haul on Woot's April Fools' Day BOC (I didn't notice the coupon).
