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

Here is a method that a student used for subtraction:

Which of the following is correct?

A	The student used a method that worked for this problem and can be generalized to any subtraction problem. Hint: Note that this algorithm is taught as the "standard" algorithm in much of Europe (it's where the term "borrowing" came from -- you borrow on top and "pay back" on the bottom).
B	The student used a method that worked for this problem and that will work for any subtraction problem that only requires one regrouping; it will not work if more regrouping is required. Hint: Try some more examples.
C	The student used a method that worked for this problem and will work for all three-digit subtraction problems, but will not work for larger problems. Hint: Try some more examples.
D	The student used a method that does not work. The student made two mistakes that cancelled each other out and was lucky to get the right answer for this problem. Hint: Remember, there are many ways to do subtraction; there is no one "right" algorithm.

Question 1 Explanation:

Topic: Analyze and justify standard and non-standard computational techniques (Objective 0019).

Question 2

The prime factorization of n can be written as n=pqr, where p, q, and r are distinct prime numbers. How many factors does n have, including 1 and itself?

A	$ \large3$ Hint: 1, p, q, r, and pqr are already 5, so this isn't enough. You might try plugging in p=2, q=3, and r=5 to help with this problem.
B	$ \large5$ Hint: Don't forget pq, etc. You might try plugging in p=2, q=3, and r=5 to help with this problem.
C	$ \large6$ Hint: You might try plugging in p=2, q=3, and r=5 to help with this problem.
D	$ \large8$ Hint: 1, p, q, r, pq, pr, qr, pqr.

Question 2 Explanation:

Topic: Recognize uses of prime factorization of a number (Objective 0018).

Question 3

What is the perimeter of a right triangle with legs of lengths x and 2x?

A	$ \large 6x$ Hint: Use the Pythagorean Theorem.
B	$ \large 3x+5{{x}^{2}}$ Hint: Don't forget to take square roots when you use the Pythagorean Theorem.
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 3 Explanation:

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

Question 4

What fraction of the area of the picture below is shaded?

$q21 fraction area$

A	$ \large \dfrac{17}{24}$ Hint: You might try adding segments so each quadrant is divided into 6 pieces with equal area -- there will be 24 regions, not all the same shape, but all the same area, with 17 of them shaded (for the top left quarter, you could also first change the diagonal line to a horizontal or vertical line that divides the square in two equal pieces and shade one) .
B	$ \large \dfrac{3}{4}$ Hint: Be sure you're taking into account the different sizes of the pieces.
C	$ \large \dfrac{2}{3}$ Hint: The bottom half of the picture is 2/3 shaded, and the top half is more than 2/3 shaded, so this answer is too small.
D	$ \large \dfrac{17}{6} $ Hint: This answer is bigger than 1, so doesn't make any sense. Be sure you are using the whole picture, not one quadrant, as the unit.

Question 4 Explanation:

Topic: Models of Fractions (Objective 0017)

Question 5

Which of the following is equivalent to

$ \large A-B+C\div D\times E$?

A	$ \large A-B-\dfrac{C}{DE} $ Hint: In the order of operations, multiplication and division have the same priority, so do them left to right; same with addition and subtraction.
B	$ \large A-B+\dfrac{CE}{D}$ Hint: In practice, you're better off using parentheses than writing an expression like the one in the question. The PEMDAS acronym that many people memorize is misleading. Multiplication and division have equal priority and are done left to right. They have higher priority than addition and subtraction. Addition and subtraction also have equal priority and are done left to right.
C	$ \large \dfrac{AE-BE+CE}{D}$ Hint: Use order of operations, don't just compute left to right.
D	$ \large A-B+\dfrac{C}{DE}$ Hint: In the order of operations, multiplication and division have the same priority, so do them left to right

B	$ \large \dfrac{1}{4}$ Hint: How many different configurations are there from oldest to youngest, e.g. BGGG? How many of them have 2 boys and 2 girls?
C	$ \large \dfrac{1}{5}$ Hint: Some configurations are more probable than others -- i.e. it's more likely to have two boys and two girls than all boys. Be sure you are weighting properly.
D	$ \large \dfrac{3}{8}$ Hint: There are two possibilities for each child, so there are $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 =16$ different configurations, e.g. from oldest to youngest BBBG, BGGB, GBBB, etc. Of these configurations, there are 6 with two boys and two girls (this is the combination $_{4}C_{2}$ or "4 choose 2"): BBGG, BGBG, BGGB, GGBB, GBGB, and GBBG. Thus the probability is 6/16=3/8.

Question 6 Explanation:

Topic: Apply knowledge of combinations and permutations to the computation of probabilities (Objective 0026).

Question 7

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

A	$ \large 28 \dfrac{4}{7}$ ml Hint: 49 ml of medicine requires 28 ml of saline. The extra ml of saline requires 4 ml saline/ 7 ml medicine = 4/7 ml saline per 1 ml medicine.
B	$ \large 28 \dfrac{1}{4}$ ml Hint: 49 ml of medicine requires 28 ml of saline. How much saline does the extra ml require?
C	$ \large 28 \dfrac{1}{7}$ ml Hint: 49 ml of medicine requires 28 ml of saline. How much saline does the extra ml require?

B	$ \large 2$ Hint: How many students are there total? Did you count them all?
C	$ \large 3$ Hint: How many students are there total? Did you count them all? Be sure you're finding the mean, not the median or the mode.
D	$ \large 2.5$ Hint: How many students are there total? Did you count them all? Don't just take the mean of 1, 2, 3, 4 -- you have to weight them properly.

Question 8 Explanation:

Topics: Analyze and interpret various graphic representations, and use measures of central tendency (e.g., mean, median, mode) and spread to describe and interpret real-world data (Objective 0025).

Question 9

What set of transformations will transform the leftmost image into the rightmost image?

The maximum rise for any run is 30 inches. The graph below shows the rise and runs of four different wheelchair ramps. Which ramp is in compliance with the ADA regulations for new construction?

A	A Hint: Rise is more than 30 inches.
B	B Hint: Run is almost 24 feet, so rise can be almost 2 feet.
