1. QuestionMultiple choice

A recipe uses 2 cups of rice for every 3 cups of vegetables. What is the ratio of rice to vegetables?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 2 to 3.

  1. Read the problem: Identify the quantities, operation, relationship, or geometric information given in the problem.
  2. Show the strategy: The first quantity in the comparison is rice, so the ratio is 2 to 3.
  3. Check the result: Choose the answer that matches the calculation and the context of the Delaware DeSSA math task.

The first quantity in the comparison is rice, so the ratio is 2 to 3.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A pattern begins 4, 9, 14, 19. What is the next number?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 24.

  1. Read the problem: Identify the quantities, operation, relationship, or geometric information given in the problem.
  2. Show the strategy: The pattern increases by 5 each time, so 19 plus 5 equals 24.
  3. Check the result: Choose the answer that matches the calculation and the context of the Delaware DeSSA math task.

The pattern increases by 5 each time, so 19 plus 5 equals 24.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

If n + 8 = 21, what is n?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 13.

  1. Read the problem: Identify the quantities, operation, relationship, or geometric information given in the problem.
  2. Show the strategy: Subtracting 8 from both sides gives n = 13.
  3. Check the result: Choose the answer that matches the calculation and the context of the Delaware DeSSA math task.

Subtracting 8 from both sides gives n = 13.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A store has 5 packs with the same number of markers. There are 45 markers total. How many markers are in each pack?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 9.

  1. Read the problem: Identify the quantities, operation, relationship, or geometric information given in the problem.
  2. Show the strategy: Dividing 45 markers by 5 packs gives 9 markers per pack.
  3. Check the result: Choose the answer that matches the calculation and the context of the Delaware DeSSA math task.

Dividing 45 markers by 5 packs gives 9 markers per pack.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which expression represents 6 more than 4 times x?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 4x + 6.

  1. Read the problem: Identify the quantities, operation, relationship, or geometric information given in the problem.
  2. Show the strategy: Four times x is 4x, and 6 more means add 6.
  3. Check the result: Choose the answer that matches the calculation and the context of the Delaware DeSSA math task.

Four times x is 4x, and 6 more means add 6.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A taxi charges 3 units plus 2 units for each mile. What is the charge for 5 miles?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 13 units.

  1. Read the problem: Identify the quantities, operation, relationship, or geometric information given in the problem.
  2. Show the strategy: The charge is 3 + 2 times 5, which equals 13 units.
  3. Check the result: Choose the answer that matches the calculation and the context of the Delaware DeSSA math task.

The charge is 3 + 2 times 5, which equals 13 units.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which ordered pair follows the rule y = x + 4 when x = 6?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is (6, 10).

  1. Read the problem: Identify the quantities, operation, relationship, or geometric information given in the problem.
  2. Show the strategy: Substituting x = 6 gives y = 10, so the pair is (6, 10).
  3. Check the result: Choose the answer that matches the calculation and the context of the Delaware DeSSA math task.

Substituting x = 6 gives y = 10, so the pair is (6, 10).

8. QuestionMultiple choice

A bag has red and blue tiles in a ratio of 3 to 2. If there are 10 blue tiles, how many red tiles are there?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 15.

  1. Read the problem: Identify the quantities, operation, relationship, or geometric information given in the problem.
  2. Show the strategy: The scale factor from 2 blue tiles to 10 is 5, so 3 times 5 equals 15 red tiles.
  3. Check the result: Choose the answer that matches the calculation and the context of the Delaware DeSSA math task.

The scale factor from 2 blue tiles to 10 is 5, so 3 times 5 equals 15 red tiles.
