  3. Check the conclusion: Confirm that the selected answer responds to the evidence and skill described in the Hawaii State Test practice task.

Area of a rectangle is length times width: 9 × 6 = 54 square meters.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation represents a proportional relationship with constant of proportionality 5?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is y = 5x.

  1. Identify the assessment skill: Determine whether the question focuses on Hawaii Smarter Balanced ELA, mathematics, science, or assessment reasoning.
  2. Use evidence and reasoning: A proportional relationship has the form y = kx, so k = 5 gives y = 5x.
  3. Check the conclusion: Confirm that the selected answer responds to the evidence and skill described in the Hawaii State Test practice task.

A proportional relationship has the form y = kx, so k = 5 gives y = 5x.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A triangle has angles of 42 degrees and 68 degrees. What is the third angle?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 70 degrees.

  1. Identify the assessment skill: Determine whether the question focuses on Hawaii Smarter Balanced ELA, mathematics, science, or assessment reasoning.
  2. Use evidence and reasoning: Triangle angles sum to 180 degrees: 180 − 42 − 68 = 70.
  3. Check the conclusion: Confirm that the selected answer responds to the evidence and skill described in the Hawaii State Test practice task.

Triangle angles sum to 180 degrees: 180 − 42 − 68 = 70.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A store discounts a 60-dollar jacket by 25 percent. What is the sale price?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 45 dollars.

  1. Identify the assessment skill: Determine whether the question focuses on Hawaii Smarter Balanced ELA, mathematics, science, or assessment reasoning.
  2. Use evidence and reasoning: A 25 percent discount is 15 dollars, so the sale price is 60 − 15 = 45 dollars.
  3. Check the conclusion: Confirm that the selected answer responds to the evidence and skill described in the Hawaii State Test practice task.

A 25 percent discount is 15 dollars, so the sale price is 60 − 15 = 45 dollars.
