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.

Use the expression below to answer the question that follows.

$ \large 3\times {{10}^{4}}+2.2\times {{10}^{2}}$

Which of the following is closest to the expression above?

A	Five million Hint: Pay attention to the exponents. Adding 3 and 2 doesn't work because they have different place values.
B	Fifty thousand Hint: Pay attention to the exponents. Adding 3 and 2 doesn't work because they have different place values.
C	Three million Hint: Don't add the exponents.
D	Thirty thousand Hint: $ 3\times {{10}^{4}} = 30,000;$ the other term is much smaller and doesn't change the estimate.

Topics: Place value, scientific notation, estimation (Objective 0016)

Question 8

How many lines of reflective symmetry and how many centers of rotational symmetry does the parallelogram depicted below have?

A	4 lines of reflective symmetry, 1 center of rotational symmetry. Hint: Try cutting out a shape like this one from paper, and fold where you think the lines of reflective symmetry are (or put a mirror there). Do things line up as you thought they would?

There are no lines of reflective symmetry, although many people get confused about this fact (best to play with hands on examples to get a feel). Just fyi, the letter S also has rotational, but not reflective symmetry, and it's one that kids often write backwards.
D	2 lines of reflective symmetry, 0 centers of rotational symmetry. Hint: Try cutting out a shape like this one from paper. Trace onto another sheet of paper. See if there's a way to rotate the cut out shape (less than a complete turn) so that it fits within the outlines again.

A	$ \large 0.8p=\$8.73$ Hint: 80% of the regular price = $8.73.
B	$ \large \$8.73+0.2*\$8.73=p$ Hint: The 20% off was off of the ORIGINAL price, not off the $8.73 (a lot of people make this mistake). Plus this is the same equation as in choice c.
C	$ \large 1.2*\$8.73=p$ Hint: The 20% off was off of the ORIGINAL price, not off the $8.73 (a lot of people make this mistake). Plus this is the same equation as in choice b.

A	$ \large {83}.0{3}\cdot 0.{761}$ Hint: This equation gives less than the number of yen per dollar, but 1 Euro is worth more than 1 dollar.
B	$ \large \dfrac{0.{761}}{{83}.0{3}}$ Hint: Number is way too small.
C	$ \large \dfrac{{83}.0{3}}{0.{761}}$ Hint: One strategy here is to use easier numbers, say 1 dollar = .5 Euros and 100 yen, then 1 Euro would be 200 Yen (change the numbers in the equations and see what works). Another is to use dimensional analysis: we want # yen per Euro, or yen/Euro = yen/dollar $\times$ dollar/Euro = $83.03 \times \dfrac {1}{0.761}$
D	$ \large \dfrac{1}{0.{761}}\cdot \dfrac{1}{{83}.0{3}}$ Hint: Number is way too small.

Which of the equations below could best be used to explain why the children's conjecture is correct?

A	$ \large 8x+16x=9x+15x$ Hint: What would x represent in this case? Make sure you can describe in words what x represents.
B	$ \large x+(x+2)=(x+1)+(x+1)$ Hint: What would x represent in this case? Make sure you can describe in words what x represents.
C	$ \large x+(x+8)=(x+1)+(x+7)$ Hint: x is the number in the top left square, x+8 is one below and to the right, x+1 is to the right of x, and x+7 is below x.
D	$ \large x+8+16=x+9+15$ Hint: What would x represent in this case? Make sure you can describe in words what x represents.

A patient's temperature increased by 1.5° Celcius. By how many degrees Fahrenheit did her temperature increase?

A	1.5° Hint: Celsius and Fahrenheit don't increase at the same rate.
B	1.8° Hint: That's how much the Fahrenheit temp increases when the Celsius temp goes up by 1 degree.
C	2.7° Hint: Each degree increase in Celsius corresponds to a $\dfrac{9}{5}=1.8$ degree increase in Fahrenheit. Thus the increase is 1.8+0.9=2.7.
D	Not enough information. Hint: A linear equation has constant slope, which means that every increase of the same amount in one variable, gives a constant increase in the other variable. It doesn't matter what temperature the patient started out at.

Question 20 Explanation:

Topic: Interpret the meaning of the slope and the intercepts of a linear equation that models a real-world situation (Objective 0022).
