1. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the value of 3x when x = 4?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 12.

  1. Understand the task: Read the directions, identify the important words or quantities, and decide what the question is asking you to show.
  2. Use the evidence: Substitute 4 for x: 3 × 4 = 12.
  3. Check the response: Compare the answer with the text, model, number relationship, observation, or real-world situation in the question.

Substitute 4 for x: 3 × 4 = 12.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A price of 50 dollars increases by 10 percent. What is the new price?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 55 dollars.

  1. Understand the task: Read the directions, identify the important words or quantities, and decide what the question is asking you to show.
  2. Use the evidence: Ten percent of 50 is 5, so the new price is 50 + 5 = 55 dollars.
  3. Check the response: Compare the answer with the text, model, number relationship, observation, or real-world situation in the question.

Ten percent of 50 is 5, so the new price is 50 + 5 = 55 dollars.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve x + 9 = 15.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is x = 6.

  1. Understand the task: Read the directions, identify the important words or quantities, and decide what the question is asking you to show.
  2. Use the evidence: Subtract 9 from both sides: x = 15 − 9 = 6.
  3. Check the response: Compare the answer with the text, model, number relationship, observation, or real-world situation in the question.

Subtract 9 from both sides: x = 15 − 9 = 6.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A line rises 6 units when it runs 3 units. What is its slope?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 2.

  1. Understand the task: Read the directions, identify the important words or quantities, and decide what the question is asking you to show.
  2. Use the evidence: Slope is rise divided by run: 6 ÷ 3 = 2.
  3. Check the response: Compare the answer with the text, model, number relationship, observation, or real-world situation in the question.

Slope is rise divided by run: 6 ÷ 3 = 2.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A right triangle has legs of 6 and 8 units. What is the hypotenuse?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 10 units.

  1. Understand the task: Read the directions, identify the important words or quantities, and decide what the question is asking you to show.
  2. Use the evidence: The 6-8-10 right triangle follows the Pythagorean relationship.
  3. Check the response: Compare the answer with the text, model, number relationship, observation, or real-world situation in the question.

The 6-8-10 right triangle follows the Pythagorean relationship.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A data set is 4, 5, 7, 8, and 11. What is the median?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 7.

  1. Understand the task: Read the directions, identify the important words or quantities, and decide what the question is asking you to show.
  2. Use the evidence: The numbers are already ordered, and the middle value is 7.
  3. Check the response: Compare the answer with the text, model, number relationship, observation, or real-world situation in the question.

The numbers are already ordered, and the middle value is 7.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A bag has 2 red counters and 8 blue counters. What is the probability of choosing a red counter?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 1/5.

  1. Understand the task: Read the directions, identify the important words or quantities, and decide what the question is asking you to show.
  2. Use the evidence: There are 2 red counters out of 10 total, so 2/10 simplifies to 1/5.
  3. Check the response: Compare the answer with the text, model, number relationship, observation, or real-world situation in the question.

There are 2 red counters out of 10 total, so 2/10 simplifies to 1/5.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

A square has a side length of 5 units. What is its perimeter?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 20 units.

  1. Understand the task: Read the directions, identify the important words or quantities, and decide what the question is asking you to show.
  2. Use the evidence: A square has four equal sides, so 4 × 5 = 20 units.
  3. Check the response: Compare the answer with the text, model, number relationship, observation, or real-world situation in the question.

A square has four equal sides, so 4 × 5 = 20 units.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation represents a total cost of 3 dollars per notebook for n notebooks?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 3n.

  1. Understand the task: Read the directions, identify the important words or quantities, and decide what the question is asking you to show.
  2. Use the evidence: The cost is 3 dollars for each of n notebooks, so multiplication gives 3n.
  3. Check the response: Compare the answer with the text, model, number relationship, observation, or real-world situation in the question.

The cost is 3 dollars for each of n notebooks, so multiplication gives 3n.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

A graph shows that a plant grows 2 centimeters each week. How much does it grow in 4 weeks?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 8 centimeters.

  1. Understand the task: Read the directions, identify the important words or quantities, and decide what the question is asking you to show.
  2. Use the evidence: At 2 centimeters per week for 4 weeks, the growth is 2 × 4 = 8 centimeters.
  3. Check the response: Compare the answer with the text, model, number relationship, observation, or real-world situation in the question.

At 2 centimeters per week for 4 weeks, the growth is 2 × 4 = 8 centimeters.
