6th Grade VBA #3 Regular

Number Sense and Operations

100

Which integer has the greater value?

-11 or -13?

-11

REMEMBER: If the number is negative, the larger number is CLOSER to zero.

200

 A regular piece of ice has a temperature of 32^oF. A piece of dry ice has a temperature of -109^oF.

What do you know about the ice?

A. the regular ice is colder than the dry ice.

B. The temperature of the dry ice is closer to 0^oF.

C. The dry ice is colder than the regular ice.

D. The dry ice has a greater temperature.

C. The dry ice is colder than the regular ice.

REMEMBER: Colder temperatures are smaller numbers. Since the dry ice is a much smaller number of -109, we can assume it is much colder than regular ice.

300

Select all values that are less than 16.

A.  abs(-15) 

B.  -abs(-16) 

C.  -abs(15)

D.  abs(-16) 

E.  abs(-17) 

A, B, and C

REMEMBER: Absolute value is the distance from zero and distance is always POSITIVE! 

B is correct as well because it is -16, as we had a negative in front of the absolute value. Thus it makes our original answer negative.

400

Find the value of 

1.2xx0.03

0.036

REMEMBER: You can use a calculator to find these basic operation answers! USE YOUR RESOURCES!

You can also do 12 * 3 to get 36 and then move the decimal over 3 places to re-insert the decimal.

500

Evaluate 

3/5 xx6/25

18/125

REMEMBER: To multiply fractions we just multiply across. Multiply the numerators 3 and 6 to get 18 and the denominators 5 and 25 to get 125!

600

What is the quotient of  7/8div21/24 ?

HINT: REMEMBER Keep, Change, Flip!

1

To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal. KEEP 7/8 the same, CHANGE division to multiplication and then FLIP 21/24 into it's reciprocal 24/21. Now multiply across!

700

Brin has 6 pairs of white socks and 4 pairs of black socks. After doing laundry, Brin lost 1 white sock and 2 black socks. How many TOTAL socks is Brin left with?

A. 7

B. 13

C. 17

D. 23

C. 17

6*2 is 12 and 4*2 is 8. She had 20 individual socks total, then lost 3. 20-3=17!

800

Find the Least common Multiple of 8 and 12.

A. 4

B. 24

C. 48

D. 96

B. 24

LCM is the first number that 8 and 12 fit perfectly into. 

I count by 8s and 12s until I find the smallest common number in my lists.

8, 16, 24

12, 24

900

Find the greatest common factor of 16, 32, and 96.

A. 4

B. 6

C. 12

A. 4

GCF is the largest number that fits into 16, 32 and 96. With multiple choice just divide all of these options into the 3 numbers and find the largest that fits into ALL.

IF NOT MULTIPLE CHOICE: list out the factors of all of these numbers and circle the largest they have in common!

1000

Which expression is equivalent to 45 + 75?

A. 15(3 + 4)

B. 15(3 + 5)

C. 5(8 + 12)

D. 5(9 + 10)

B. 15(3 + 5)

YOU HAVE TO DISTRIBUTE 15 to 3 and 5. Multiply 15 by both numbers.

15*3 is 45 and 15*5 is 75

1100

Evaluate:

 (7+1)^2+2 

66

REMEMBER: PEMDAS

Parenthesis: 7+1 is 8

Exponents: 8 squared is 64

Addition: 64+2 is 66

1200

Select all equivalent forms of 6.25.

A. 625%

B. 62.5%

C. 6 1/8 

D. 6 1/4 

E.  625/100 

A, D, and E

REMEMBER: 1.00 is 100% so 6.25 is 625%

0.25 is equal to 1/4 so 6.25 is equal to 6 and 1/4

and 625/100 in your calculator would result in 6.25

1300

Evaluate:  3+ (-2)(-5) 

13

REMEMBER: a negative * a negative = a positive! Using PEMDAS, -2 * -5 is POSITIVE 10, plus 3 is 13

Algebraic Reasoning

100

What expression represents "three times n decreased by 8"?

3n - 8

REMEMBER KEY WORDS HERE!

Decreased means subtract. decreased by means - that number.

Times means to multiply. We write variables right next to numbers to multiply instead of a symbol! Mathematicians are LAZY!!!

200

A sign at an amusement park states riders must be AT LEAST 54 inches tall to ride the roller coaster. Which inequality represents that statement?

A. h > 54

B. h  >= 54

C. h < 54

D. h  <= 54

B

REMEMBER!

At least, means that number OR more. so we can be 54 inches tall, OR taller.

300

Evaluate the expression when a = 11

3 xx((a-1)div5)

6

Substitute 11 for a and solve with order of operations!

400

Simplify: 

-3(x+6)

-3x-18

 Multiply -3 to both x and 6. -3 * x=-3x and -3 * 6= -18

500

which value is a solution of the equation  c +14=20 

6

REMEMBER: you need to "undo" the operations being done to c. So... I need to subtract 14 from 20 to find out what c equals!

600

A number minus 12 equals 9. What is the number?

21

Something -12 is 9. SO... 12+9 is my number! 12 + 9 is 21!

700

Solve 

 c/8=-20 

A. 12

B. -12

C. 160

D. -160

D. -160

REMEMBER: you need to "undo" the operations being done to c. So... I need to multiply 8 by -20 to find out what c equals!

800

Which answer makes the equation true?

4.75 + x = 11.65

A. 5.9

B. 6.8

C. 6.9

D. 7.1

C. 6.9

SIMPLY SUBSTITUTE! 

Plug in the numbers for x until you get your solution! OR you can do 11.65 - 4.75 to find it quicker :)

900

The ratio of Sally's rent to her other monthly expenses is 2 to 3. What is the ratio of her rent to her total expenses for the month?

2 to 5

REMEMBER: Total will equal all ratio parts added together. So the total is 2 + 3 which is 5.

1000

Andrew drove 456 miles in 8 hours. What is the unit rate in miles per hour?

HINT: Divide the distance by time!

57mph

The hint says it all guys!

1100

NO

Simplify the ratios to find out if they are equivalent!

REMEMBER: Simplifying ratios is the same as fractions! Divide both parts until you can't anymore!

1200

Jasper planted 20 plants in his garden bed. 8 of the plants are tomato plants. What percentage of the plants are tomatoes?

A. 14%

B. 15%

C. 40%

D. 180%

C. 40%

REMEMBER: Percent (as a decimal) = amount/total.

So I did 8/20 and got 0.4 which = 40%

1300

Caitlyn can run 11 miles in 90 minutes while Marjorie can run 6 miles in 50 minutes. Who is the faster runner?

Caitlyn because his pace is .122 miles per min which is faster than Marjorie's pace is 0.12 miles per min.

UNIT RATE: Divide distance by time to get their miles per minute and the larger number is faster because it was a larger distance in 1 minute.
