Add ones, tens, and hundreds: 438 + 276 = 714.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangle is 9 units long and 5 units wide. What is its area?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 45 square units.

  1. Identify the Iowa task: Determine whether the question asks about reading, writing, mathematics, science, data, or evidence.
  2. Use the information provided: Area equals length times width: 9 × 5 = 45 square units.
  3. Check the response: Confirm that the answer matches the passage, model, data, calculation, or Iowa assessment skill.

Area equals length times width: 9 × 5 = 45 square units.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

If 4n = 32, what is n?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 8.

  1. Identify the Iowa task: Determine whether the question asks about reading, writing, mathematics, science, data, or evidence.
  2. Use the information provided: Divide both sides by 4: n = 32 ÷ 4 = 8.
  3. Check the response: Confirm that the answer matches the passage, model, data, calculation, or Iowa assessment skill.

Divide both sides by 4: n = 32 ÷ 4 = 8.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A car travels 150 miles in 3 hours. What is its average speed?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 50 miles per hour.

  1. Identify the Iowa task: Determine whether the question asks about reading, writing, mathematics, science, data, or evidence.
  2. Use the information provided: Average speed equals distance divided by time: 150 ÷ 3 = 50.
  3. Check the response: Confirm that the answer matches the passage, model, data, calculation, or Iowa assessment skill.

Average speed equals distance divided by time: 150 ÷ 3 = 50.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

What is 0.6 written as a fraction in simplest form?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 3/5.

  1. Identify the Iowa task: Determine whether the question asks about reading, writing, mathematics, science, data, or evidence.
  2. Use the information provided: Six tenths simplifies to three fifths.
  3. Check the response: Confirm that the answer matches the passage, model, data, calculation, or Iowa assessment skill.

Six tenths simplifies to three fifths.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

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

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 70 degrees.

  1. Identify the Iowa task: Determine whether the question asks about reading, writing, mathematics, science, data, or evidence.
  2. Use the information provided: Triangle angles sum to 180 degrees: 180 − 42 − 68 = 70.
  3. Check the response: Confirm that the answer matches the passage, model, data, calculation, or Iowa assessment skill.

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

7. QuestionMultiple choice

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

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 45 dollars.

  1. Identify the Iowa task: Determine whether the question asks about reading, writing, mathematics, science, data, or evidence.
  2. Use the information provided: A 25 percent discount is 15 dollars, so the sale price is 60 − 15 = 45 dollars.
  3. Check the response: Confirm that the answer matches the passage, model, data, calculation, or Iowa assessment skill.

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

8. QuestionMultiple choice
