## 5 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.  To see five new questions, reload the page.

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.

## MTEL General Curriculum Mathematics Practice

 Question 1

#### 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.
Question 1 Explanation:
Topic: Recognize and apply the concepts of variable, equality, and equation to express relationships algebraically (Objective 0020).
 Question 2

#### Which of the following is closest to their average speed driving on the trip?

 A $$\large d=20t$$Hint: Try plugging t=7 into the equation, and see how it matches the graph. B $$\large d=30t$$Hint: Try plugging t=7 into the equation, and see how it matches the graph. C $$\large d=40t$$ D $$\large d=50t$$Hint: Try plugging t=7 into the equation, and see how it matches the graph.
Question 2 Explanation:
Topic: Select the linear equation that best models a real-world situation (Objective 0022).
 Question 3

#### Point B is halfway between two tick marks.  What number is represented by Point B?

 A $$\large 0.645$$Hint: That point is marked on the line, to the right. B $$\large 0.6421$$Hint: That point is to the left of point B. C $$\large 0.6422$$Hint: That point is to the left of point B. D $$\large 0.6425$$

Topic: Using Number Lines (Objective 0017)
 Question 4

#### Store B

Hint:
This saves 15% and C saves 25%.

#### Store D

Hint:
This is about 20% off, which is less of a discount than C.
Question 4 Explanation:
Topic: Understand the meanings and models of integers, fractions, decimals,percents, and mixed numbers and apply them to the solution of word problems (Objective 0017).
 Question 5

#### The chairs in a large room can be arranged in rows of 18, 25, or 60 with no chairs left over. If C is the smallest possible number of chairs in the room, which of the following inequalities does C satisfy?

 A $$\large C\le 300$$Hint: Find the LCM. B $$\large 300 < C \le 500$$Hint: Find the LCM. C $$\large 500 < C \le 700$$Hint: Find the LCM. D $$\large C>700$$Hint: The LCM is 900, which is the smallest number of chairs.
Question 5 Explanation:
Topic: Apply LCM in "real-world" situations (according to standardized tests....) (Objective 0018).
