1. QuestionMultiple choice

A school orders 12 boxes with 24 notebooks in each box. After giving away 75 notebooks, how many remain?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 213 notebooks.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: There are 12 × 24 = 288 notebooks; 288 − 75 = 213 remain.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

There are 12 × 24 = 288 notebooks; 288 − 75 = 213 remain.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A tank is 3/5 full. After 12 liters are added, it is 4/5 full. What is the tank’s total capacity?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 60 liters.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: The added 12 liters represents 1/5 of the tank, so the full capacity is 12 × 5 = 60 liters.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

The added 12 liters represents 1/5 of the tank, so the full capacity is 12 × 5 = 60 liters.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A taxi charges 4 dollars plus 2.50 dollars per mile. What is the cost of a 6-mile ride?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 19 dollars.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: The cost is 4 + 2.50(6) = 4 + 15 = 19 dollars.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

The cost is 4 + 2.50(6) = 4 + 15 = 19 dollars.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangle is 3.5 meters long and 2 meters wide. What is its area?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 7 square meters.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Area equals 3.5 × 2 = 7 square meters.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Area equals 3.5 × 2 = 7 square meters.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A student reads 18 pages on Monday and 25 pages each day for the next 4 days. How many pages are read?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 118 pages.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: The next four days total 4 × 25 = 100 pages, and 100 + 18 = 118.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

The next four days total 4 × 25 = 100 pages, and 100 + 18 = 118.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation represents “three more than twice a number n is 17”?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 2n + 3 = 17.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Twice n is 2n, and three more gives 2n + 3 = 17.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Twice n is 2n, and three more gives 2n + 3 = 17.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

The rate is 6 ÷ 8 = 0.75 cup per serving; 0.75 × 12 = 9 cups.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

A student estimates 19.8 × 5 as about 100. Is the estimate reasonable?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Yes, because 19.8 is close to 20 and 20 × 5 = 100..

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Rounding 19.8 to 20 gives an estimate of 100.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Rounding 19.8 to 20 gives an estimate of 100.
