Question 1Area, Volume & Surface Area
8 m 5 m A garden is rectangular and measures 8 meters long and 5 meters wide. What is the area of the garden in square meters?
  1. A13
  2. B40
  3. C20
  4. D30
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Area = length × width = 8 m × 5 m = 40 m². 💡 Strategy tip: Multiply length by width for rectangle area.

Question 2Circles: Circumference & Area
A soccer ball has a circumference of 70 cm. Which of the following is the best estimate of its radius?
  1. A11 cm
  2. B22 cm
  3. C35 cm
  4. D70 cm
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

C = 2πr ⇒ r = C ÷ (2π) = 70 ÷ (2·3.14) ≈ 11.1 cm, which rounds to 11 cm. 💡 Strategy tip: Remember the circumference formula C = 2πr and solve for r.

Question 3Linear Expressions
A video game costs $45 plus $3 for each extra level. Which expression represents the total cost for \(L\) extra levels?
  1. A45+3L
  2. B45L+3
  3. C3L-45
  4. D45L-3
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Base cost $45 plus $3 per level gives 45 + 3L. 💡 Strategy tip: Add the fixed cost to the variable cost per unit.

Question 4Operations with Integers
The table shows the change in temperature (in °C) each day for a week. Day 1: -3, Day 2: 2, Day 3: -5, Day 4: 4, Day 5: -2, Day 6: 3, Day 7: -1. What is the total change in temperature over the week?
  1. A-2
  2. B0
  3. C2
  4. D4
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Add the daily changes: -3 + 2 - 5 + 4 - 2 + 3 - 1 = -2. The net change is -2°C. 💡 Strategy tip: When adding integers, combine positive numbers together and negative numbers together, then find the difference.

Question 5Operations with Rationals
Lena buys 3.5 pounds of almonds at $2.40 per pound. How much does she pay?
  1. A$8.40
  2. B$7.20
  3. C$6.00
  4. D$5.60
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Multiply the weight by the price per pound: 3.5 × 2.40 = 8.40. So Lena pays $8.40. 💡 Strategy tip: Multiply decimals as if they were whole numbers, then place the decimal point.

Question 6Percent & Interest
The table shows the cost of meals at a cafeteria and the tip percentage a customer chooses to leave. Meal cost | Tip % $12.00 | 15% $15.50 | 20% $9.75 | 10% What is the total amount the customer pays for the $15.50 meal after adding the tip?
  1. A$18.60
  2. B$18.70
  3. C$19.10
  4. D$19.60
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Tip = 20% of $15.50 = $3.10. Total = $15.50 + $3.10 = $18.60. 💡 Strategy tip: Convert the percent to a decimal (20% = 0.20) and multiply by the amount.

Question 7Probability Models
The table shows the number of marbles of each color in a bag. Color | Number Red | 5 Blue | 7 Green | 8 If one marble is selected at random from the bag, what is the probability that the marble is green?
  1. A3/10
  2. B2/5
  3. C1/4
  4. D7/20
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

There are 5+7+8 = 20 marbles total. The green marbles are 8, so the probability is 8/20 = 2/5. 💡 Strategy tip: Total outcomes = sum of all counts; divide the count of the desired outcome by this total.

Question 8Proportional Relationships
The table shows the weight of apples purchased and the total cost. Weight (lb): 2, 4, 6 Cost ($): 3, 6, 9 Which expression gives the cost per pound of apples?
  1. A$3 ÷ 2
  2. B$6 ÷ 2
  3. C$9 ÷ 4
  4. D$3 ÷ 6
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Cost per pound is total cost divided by weight. Using any row, $3 ÷ 2 = $1.50 per pound. 💡 Strategy tip: Pick one row of the table; the unit rate is cost ÷ weight.

Question 9Sampling & Inference
A class of 30 students was asked which fruit they like best. The results are: 12 like apples, 8 like bananas, 5 like oranges, and 5 like grapes. What fraction of the class likes apples?
  1. A12/30
  2. B8/30
  3. C5/30
  4. D20/30
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

12 of the 30 students like apples, so the fraction is 12/30. 💡 Strategy tip: Write the number of favorable outcomes over the total number of outcomes.

Question 10Scale, Angles & Constructions
Two angles form a linear pair. If one angle measures 68°, what is the measure of its supplement?
  1. A112°
  2. B92°
  3. C108°
  4. D118°
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Linear pair means the angles are supplementary: they add to 180°. 180° – 68° = 112°. 💡 Strategy tip: Remember supplementary angles sum to 180°.
