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

Given that 10 cm is approximately equal to 4 inches, which of the following expressions models a way to find out approximately how many inches are equivalent to 350 cm?

A	$ \large 350\times \left( \dfrac{10}{4} \right)$ Hint: The final result should be smaller than 350, and this answer is bigger.
B	$ \large 350\times \left( \dfrac{4}{10} \right)$ Hint: Dimensional analysis can help here: $350 \text{cm} \times \dfrac{4 \text{in}}{10 \text{cm}}$. The cm's cancel and the answer is in inches.
C	$ \large (10-4) \times 350 $ Hint: This answer doesn't make much sense. Try with a simpler example (e.g. 20 cm not 350 cm) to make sure that your logic makes sense.
D	$ \large (350-10) \times 4$ Hint: This answer doesn't make much sense. Try with a simpler example (e.g. 20 cm not 350 cm) to make sure that your logic makes sense.

Question 1 Explanation:

Topic: Applying fractions to word problems (Objective 0017) This problem is similar to one on the official sample test for that objective, but it might fit better into unit conversion and dimensional analysis (Objective 0023: Measurement)

Question 2

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

Question 2 Explanation:

Topic: Justify algebraic manipulations by application of the properties of order of operations (Objective 0020).

Question 3

Use the graph below to answer the question that follows.

Question 4

The table below gives data from various years on how many young girls drank milk.

Based on the data given above, what was the probability that a randomly chosen girl in 1990 drank milk?

A	$ \large \dfrac{502}{1222}$ Hint: This is the probability that a randomly chosen girl who drinks milk was in the 1989-1991 food survey.
B	$ \large \dfrac{502}{2149}$ Hint: This is the probability that a randomly chosen girl from the whole survey drank milk and was also surveyed in 1989-1991.
C	$ \large \dfrac{502}{837}$
D	$ \large \dfrac{1222}{2149}$ Hint: This is the probability that a randomly chosen girl from any year of the survey drank milk.

Question 4 Explanation:

Topic: Recognize and apply the concept of conditional probability (Objective 0026).

Question 5

The chart below gives percentiles for the number of sit-ups that boys of various ages can do in 60 seconds (source , June 24, 2011)

Which of the following statements can be inferred from the above chart?

A	95% of 12 year old boys can do 56 sit-ups in 60 seconds. Hint: The 95th percentile means that 95% of scores are less than or equal to 56, and 5% are greater than or equal to 56.
B	At most 25% of 7 year old boys can do 19 or more sit-ups in 60 seconds. Hint: The 25th percentile means that 25% of scores are less than or equal to 19, and 75% are greater than or equal to 19.
C	Half of all 13 year old boys can do less than 41 sit-ups in 60 seconds and half can do more than 41 sit-ups in 60 seconds. Hint: Close, but not quite. There's no accounting for boys who can do exactly 41 sit ups. Look at these data: 10, 20, 41, 41, 41, 41, 50, 60, 90. The median is 41, but more than half can do 41 or more.
D	At least 75% of 16 year old boys can only do 51 or fewer sit-ups in 60 seconds. Hint: The "at least" is necessary due to duplicates. Suppose the data were 10, 20, 51, 51. The 75th percentile is 51, but 100% of the boys can only do 51 or fewer situps.

Question 5 Explanation:

Topic: Analyze and interpret various graphic and nongraphic data representations (e.g., frequency distributions, percentiles) (Objective 0025).

Question 6

Kendra is trying to decide which fraction is greater, $ \dfrac{4}{7}$ or $ \dfrac{5}{8}$. Which of the following answers shows the best reasoning?

A	$ \dfrac{4}{7}$ is $ \dfrac{3}{7}$away from 1, and $ \dfrac{5}{8}$ is $ \dfrac{3}{8}$away from 1. Since eighth‘s are smaller than seventh‘s, $ \dfrac{5}{8}$ is closer to 1, and is the greater of the two fractions.
B	$ 7-4=3$ and $ 8-5=3$, so the fractions are equal. Hint: Not how to compare fractions. By this logic, 1/2 and 3/4 are equal, but 1/2 and 2/4 are not.
C	$ 4\times 8=32$ and $ 7\times 5=35$. Since $ 32<35$ , $ \dfrac{5}{8}<\dfrac{4}{7}$ Hint: Starts out as something that works, but the conclusion is wrong. 4/7 = 32/56 and 5/8 = 35/56. The cross multiplication gives the numerators, and 35/56 is bigger.
D	$ 4<5$ and $ 7<8$, so $ \dfrac{4}{7}<\dfrac{5}{8}$ Hint: Conclusion is correct, logic is wrong. With this reasoning, 1/2 would be less than 2/100,000.

Question 6 Explanation:

Topics: Comparing fractions, and understanding the meaning of fractions (Objective 0017).

Question 7

Point A is one-quarter of the distance from 0.26 to 0.28. What number is represented by point A?

A	$ \large0.26$ Hint: Please reread the question.
B	$ \large0.2625$ Hint: This is one-quarter of the distance between 0.26 and 0.27, which is not what the question asked.
C	$ \large0.265$
D	$ \large0.27$ Hint: Please read the question more carefully. This answer would be correct if Point A were halfway between the tick marks, but it's not.

Question 7 Explanation:

Topic: Using number lines (Objective 0017)

Use the table below to answer the question that follows:

Gordon wants to buy three pounds of nuts. Each of the stores above ordinarily sells the nuts for $4.99 a pound, but is offering a discount this week. At which store can he buy the nuts for the least amount of money?

A	Store A Hint: This would save about $2.50. You can quickly see that D saves more.
B	Store B Hint: This saves 15% and C saves 25%.
C	Store C
D	Store D Hint: This is about 20% off, which is less of a discount than C.

B	$ \large y={{2}^{x}}$ Hint: This is an exponential function.
C	$ \large y=\dfrac{15}{x}$ Hint: This is an inverse function.
D	$ \large y=x+(x+4)$ Hint: This is a linear function, y=2x+4, it's graph is a straight line with slope 2 and y-intercept 4.

Question 10 Explanation:

Topic: Distinguish between linear and nonlinear functions (Objective 0022).

Question 11

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.
B	22.5 meters Hint: Draw a picture.
C	30 meters Hint: Draw a picture.
D	45 meters Hint: Draw a picture.

Question 11 Explanation:

Topic: Apply geometric transformations (e.g., translations, rotations, reflections, dilations); relate them to similarity, ; and use these concepts to solve problems (Objective 0024) . Fits in other places too.

Question 12

Elena is going to use a calculator to check whether or not 267 is prime. She will pick certain divisors, and then find 267 divided by each, and see if she gets a whole number. If she never gets a whole number, then she's found a prime. Which numbers does Elena NEED to check before she can stop checking and be sure she has a prime?

A	All natural numbers from 2 to 266. Hint: She only needs to check primes -- checking the prime factors of any composite is enough to look for divisors. As a test taking strategy, the other three choices involve primes, so worth thinking about.
B	All primes from 2 to 266 . Hint: Remember, factors come in pairs (except for square root factors), so she would first find the smaller of the pair and wouldn't need to check the larger.
C	All primes from 2 to 133 . Hint: She doesn't need to check this high. Factors come in pairs, and something over 100 is going to be paired with something less than 3, so she will find that earlier.
D	All primes from $ \large 2$ to $ \large \sqrt{267}$. Hint: $\sqrt{267} \times \sqrt{267}=267$. Any other pair of factors will have one factor less than $ \sqrt{267}$ and one greater, so she only needs to check up to $ \sqrt{267}$.

Question 12 Explanation:

Topic: Identify prime and composite numbers (Objective 0018).

Question 13

A cylindrical soup can has diameter 7 cm and height 11 cm. The can holds g grams of soup. How many grams of the same soup could a cylindrical can with diameter 14 cm and height 33 cm hold?

A	$ \large 6g$ Hint: You must scale in all three dimensions.
B	$ \large 12g$ Hint: Height is multiplied by 3, and diameter and radius are multiplied by 2. Since the radius is squared, final result is multiplied by $2^2\times 3=12$.
C	$ \large 18g$ Hint: Don't square the height scale factor.
D	$ \large 36g$ Hint: Don't square the height scale factor.

Question 13 Explanation:

Topic: Determine how the characteristics (e.g., area, volume) of geometric figures and shapes are affected by changes in their dimensions (Objective 0023).

Question 14

Which of the following is not possible?

A	An equiangular triangle that is not equilateral. Hint: The AAA property of triangles states that all triangles with corresponding angles congruent are similar. Thus all triangles with three equal angles are similar, and are equilateral.
B	An equiangular quadrilateral that is not equilateral. Hint: A rectangle is equiangular (all angles the same measure), but if it's not a square, it's not equilateral (all sides the same length).
C	An equilateral quadrilateral that is not equiangular. Hint: This rhombus has equal sides, but it doesn't have equal angles:
D	An equiangular hexagon that is not equilateral. Hint: This hexagon has equal angles, but it doesn't have equal sides:

Question 14 Explanation:

The pattern below consists of a row of black squares surrounded by white squares.

How many white squares would surround a row of 157 black squares?

A	314 Hint: Try your procedure on a smaller number that you can count to see where you made a mistake.
B	317 Hint: Are there ever an odd number of white squares?
C	320 Hint: One way to see this is that there are 6 tiles on the left and right ends, and the rest of the white tiles are twice the number of black tiles (there are many other ways to look at it too).
D	322 Hint: Try your procedure on a smaller number that you can count to see where you made a mistake.

Question 15 Explanation:

Topic: Recognize and extend patterns using a variety of representations (e.g., verbal, numeric, pictorial, algebraic) (Objective 0021).

Question 16

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 16 Explanation:

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

Use the graph below to answer the question that follows:

The graph above represents the equation $ \large 3x+Ay=B$, where A and B are integers. What are the values of A and B?

A	$ \large A = -2, B= 6$ Hint: Plug in (2,0) to get B=6, then plug in (0,-3) to get A=-2.
B	$ \large A = 2, B = 6$ Hint: Try plugging (0,-3) into this equation.
C	$ \large A = -1.5, B=-3$ Hint: The problem said that A and B were integers and -1.5 is not an integer. Don't try to use slope-intercept form.
D	$ \large A = 2, B = -3$ Hint: Try plugging (2,0) into this equation.

Question 17 Explanation:

Topic: Find a linear equation that represents a graph (Objective 0022).

Question 18

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 18 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 .

Question 19

The following story situations model $ 12\div 3$:

I) Jack has 12 cookies, which he wants to share equally between himself and two friends. How many cookies does each person get?

II) Trent has 12 cookies, which he wants to put into bags of 3 cookies each. How many bags can he make?

III) Cicely has $12. Cookies cost $3 each. How many cookies can she buy?

Which of these questions illustrate the same model of division, either partitive (partioning) or measurement (quotative)?

A	I and II
B	I and III
C	II and III Hint: Problem I is partitive (or partitioning or sharing) -- we put 12 objects into 3 groups. Problems II and III are quotative (or measurement) -- we put 12 objects in groups of 3.
D	All three problems model the same meaning of division

Question 19 Explanation:

Topic: Understand models of operations on numbers (Objective 0019).

Question 20

A biology class requires a lab fee, which is a whole number of dollars, and the same amount for all students. On Monday the instructor collected $70 in fees, on Tuesday she collected $126, and on Wednesday she collected $266. What is the largest possible amount the fee could be?

A	$2 Hint: A possible fee, but not the largest possible fee. Check the other choices to see which are factors of all three numbers.
B	$7 Hint: A possible fee, but not the largest possible fee. Check the other choices to see which are factors of all three numbers.
C	$14 Hint: This is the greatest common factor of 70, 126, and 266.
D	$70 Hint: Not a factor of 126 or 266, so couldn't be correct.
