20 Random Questions

Hints will display for most wrong answers; explanations for most right answers. You can attempt a question multiple times; it will only be scored correct if you get it right the first time.

I used the official objectives and sample test to construct these questions, but cannot promise that they accurately reflect what’s on the real test. Some of the sample questions were more convoluted than I could bear to write. See terms of use. See the MTEL Practice Test main page to view questions on a particular topic or to download paper practice tests.

Question 1

Below are four inputs and outputs for a function machine representing the function A:

Which of the following equations could also represent A for the values shown?

A	$ \large A(n)=n+4$ Hint: For a question like this, you don't have to find the equation yourself, you can just try plugging the function machine inputs into the equation, and see if any values come out wrong. With this equation n= -1 would output 3, not 0 as the machine does.
B	$ \large A(n)=n+2$ Hint: For a question like this, you don't have to find the equation yourself, you can just try plugging the function machine inputs into the equation, and see if any values come out wrong. With this equation n= 2 would output 4, not 6 as the machine does.
C	$ \large A(n)=2n+2$ Hint: Simply plug in each of the four function machine input values, and see that the equation produces the correct output, e.g. A(2)=6, A(-1)=0, etc.
D	$ \large A(n)=2\left( n+2 \right)$ Hint: For a question like this, you don't have to find the equation yourself, you can just try plugging the function machine inputs into the equation, and see if any values come out wrong. With this equation n= 2 would output 8, not 6 as the machine does.

Question 4

A solution requires 4 ml of saline for every 7 ml of medicine. How much saline would be required for 50 ml of medicine?

Question 5

Use the table below to answer the question that follows:

Each number in the table above represents a value W that is determined by the values of x and y. For example, when x=3 and y=1, W=5. What is the value of W when x=9 and y=14? Assume that the patterns in the table continue as shown.

A	$ \large W=-5$ Hint: When y is even, W is even.
B	$ \large W=4$ Hint: Note that when x increases by 1, W increases by 2, and when y increases by 1, W decreases by 1. At x=y=0, W=0, so at x=9, y=14, W has increased by $9 \times 2$ and decreased by 14, or W=18-14=4.
C	$ \large W=6$ Hint: Try fixing x or y at 0, and start by finding W for x=0 y=14 or x=9, y=0.
D	$ \large W=32$ Hint: Try fixing x or y at 0, and start by finding W for x=0 y=14 or x=9, y=0.

The picture below represents a board with pegs on it, where the closest distance between two pegs is 1 cm. What is the area of the pentagon shown?

A	$ \large 8\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{2}} $ Hint: Don't just count the dots inside, that doesn't give the area. Try adding segments so that the slanted lines become the diagonals of rectangles.
B	$ \large 11\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}$ Hint: Try adding segments so that the slanted lines become the diagonals of rectangles.
C	$ \large 11.5\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}$ Hint: An easy way to do this problem is to use Pick's Theorem (of course, it's better if you understand why Pick's theorem works): area = # pegs inside + half # pegs on the border - 1. In this case 8+9/2-1=11.5. A more appropriate strategy for elementary classrooms is to add segments; here's one way. There are 20 1x1 squares enclosed, and the total area of the triangles that need to be subtracted is 8.5
D	$ \large 12.5\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}$ Hint: Try adding segments so that the slanted lines become the diagonals of rectangles.

Aya and Kendra want to estimate the height of a tree. On a sunny day, Aya measures Kendra's shadow as 3 meters long, and Kendra measures the tree's shadow as 15 meters long. Kendra is 1.5 meters tall. How tall is the tree?

A	7.5 meters Hint: Here is a picture, note that the large and small right triangles are similar: One way to do the problem is to note that there is a dilation (scale) factor of 5 on the shadows, so there must be that factor on the heights too. Another way is to note that the shadows are twice as long as the heights.

Question 12

A publisher prints a series of books with covers made of identical material and using the same thickness of paper for each page. The covers of the book together are 0.4 cm thick, and 125 pieces of the paper used together are 1 cm thick.

The publisher uses a linear function to determine the total thickness, T(n) of a book made with n sheets of paper. What are the slope and intercept of T(n)?

A	Intercept = 0.4 cm, Slope = 125 cm/page Hint: This would mean that each page of the book was 125 cm thick.
B	Intercept =0.4 cm, Slope = $\dfrac{1}{125}$cm/page Hint: The intercept is how thick the book would be with no pages in it. The slope is how much 1 extra page adds to the thickness of the book.
C	Intercept = 125 cm, Slope = 0.4 cm Hint: This would mean that with no pages in the book, it would be 125 cm thick.
D	Intercept = $\dfrac{1}{125}$cm, Slope = 0.4 pages/cm Hint: This would mean that each new page of the book made it 0.4 cm thicker.

Question 13

What is the mathematical name of the three-dimensional polyhedron depicted below?

B	$ \large 65\cdot 2\text{ }{{\text{m}}^{3}}$ Hint: Try a simpler example, say doubling the sides of the base of a 1 x 1 x 1 cube.
C	$ \large 65\cdot 4\text{ }{{\text{m}}^{3}}$ Hint: If we think of the pool as filled with 1 x 1 x 1 cubes (and some fractions of cubes), then scaling to the larger pool changes each 1 x 1 x 1 cube to a 2 x 2 x 1 prism, or multiplies volume by 4.
D	$ \large 65\cdot 8\text{ }{{\text{m}}^{3}}$ Hint: Try a simpler example, say doubling the sides of the base of a 1 x 1 x 1 cube.

Question 15

What is the least common multiple of 540 and 216?

A	$ \large{{2}^{5}}\cdot {{3}^{6}}\cdot 5$ Hint: This is the product of the numbers, not the LCM.

Then for each prime that's a factor of either number, use the largest exponent that appears in one of the factorizations. You can also take the product of the two numbers divided by their GCD.
C	$ \large{{2}^{2}}\cdot {{3}^{3}}\cdot 5$ Hint: 216 is a multiple of 8.
D	$ \large{{2}^{2}}\cdot {{3}^{2}}\cdot {{5}^{2}}$ Hint: Not a multiple of 216 and not a multiple of 540.

C	$ \large 3x+\sqrt{5}{{x}^{2}}$ Hint: $\sqrt {5 x^2}$ is not $\sqrt {5}x^2$.
D	$ \large 3x+\sqrt{5}{{x}^{{}}}$ Hint: To find the hypotenuse, h, use the Pythagorean Theorem: $x^2+(2x)^2=h^2.$ $5x^2=h^2,h=\sqrt{5}x$. The perimeter is this plus x plus 2x.

Question 19 Explanation:

Topic: Recognize and apply connections between algebra and geometry (e.g., the use of coordinate systems, the Pythagorean theorem) (Objective 0024).

Question 20

At a school fundraising event, people can buy a ticket to spin a spinner like the one below. The region that the spinner lands in tells which, if any, prize the person wins.

If 240 people buy tickets to spin the spinner, what is the best estimate of the number of keychains that will be given away?

A	40 Hint: "Keychain" appears on the spinner twice.
B	80 Hint: The probability of getting a keychain is 1/3, and so about 1/3 of the time the spinner will win.
C	100 Hint: What is the probability of winning a keychain?
D	120 Hint: That would be the answer for getting any prize, not a keychain specifically.

Question 20 Explanation:

Topic: I would call this topic expected value, which is not listed on the objectives. This question is very similar to one on the sample test. It's not a good question in that it's oversimplified (a more difficult and interesting question would be something like, "The school bought 100 keychains for prizes, what is the probability that they will run out before 240 people play?"). In any case, I believe the objective this is meant for is, "Recognize the difference between experimentally and theoretically determined probabilities in real-world situations. (Objective 0026)." This is not something easily assessed with multiple choice .

A publisher prints a series of books with covers made of identical material and using the same thickness of paper for each page. The covers of the book together are 0.4 cm thick, and 125 pieces of the paper used together are 1 cm thick.

The publisher uses a linear function to determine the total thickness, T(n) of a book made with n sheets of paper. What are the slope and intercept of T(n)?

Intercept = 0.4 cm, Slope = 125 cm/page

Intercept =0.4 cm, Slope = \(\dfrac{1}{125}\)cm/page

Intercept = 125 cm, Slope = 0.4 cm

Intercept = \(\dfrac{1}{125}\)cm, Slope = 0.4 pages/cm
