1. QuestionMultiple choice

The ratio of red beads to blue beads is 2:32:3. If there are 10 red beads, how many blue beads are there?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 15 blue beads.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: The scale factor from 2 to 10 is 5, so multiply 3 by 5 to get 15.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

The scale factor from 2 to 10 is 5, so multiply 3 by 5 to get 15.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Which expression represents “5 more than twice n”?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 2n+52n + 5.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: Twice n is 2n, and 5 more gives 2n plus 5.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Twice n is 2n, and 5 more gives 2n plus 5.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve 3x=273x = 27.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is x=9x = 9.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: Divide both sides by 3 to get x equals 9.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Divide both sides by 3 to get x equals 9.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A table shows x-values 1, 2, 3 and y-values 4, 7, 10. What is the rate of change?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 3.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: Each increase of 1 in x produces an increase of 3 in y.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Each increase of 1 in x produces an increase of 3 in y.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A taxi charges a 4startingfeeplus4 starting fee plus2 per mile. Which expression gives the cost for m miles?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 4+2m4 + 2m.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: The fixed fee is 4 and the mileage cost is 2 times m.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

The fixed fee is 4 and the mileage cost is 2 times m.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation represents a line with slope 2 and y-intercept 3?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is y=2x+3y = 2x + 3.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: Slope-intercept form is y equals mx plus b, so m is 2 and b is 3.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Slope-intercept form is y equals mx plus b, so m is 2 and b is 3.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

If a=4a = 4 and b=7b = 7, what is 2a+b2a + b?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 15.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: Substitute the values: 2 times 4 plus 7 equals 15.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Substitute the values: 2 times 4 plus 7 equals 15.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

A pattern starts 2, 5, 8, 11. Which rule describes the pattern?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Add 3 each time.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.

Each term is 3 greater than the previous term.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

Which inequality represents “a number p is at least 12”?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is pge12p ge 12.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: At least includes 12 and all larger values, so the symbol is greater than or equal to.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

At least includes 12 and all larger values, so the symbol is greater than or equal to.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

A recipe for 4 people uses 3 cups of rice. How many cups are needed for 12 people?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 9 cups.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: Twelve people is three times four, so use three times as much rice: 9 cups.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Twelve people is three times four, so use three times as much rice: 9 cups.
