  1. Question 1

    What is 9³?

    answer box

    Show answer

    729

    Hint: 9³ = 9 × 9 × 9 = 729.

  2. Question 2

    1/6 + 3/4 = ?

    • 11/12
    • 2/5
    • -11/12
    • 1
    • -7/12
    Show answer

    11/12

    Hint: Use the common denominator 12: 2/12 + 9/12 = 11/12, which is 11/12 in lowest terms.

  3. Question 3

    What is the slope of the line through (2, 0) and (3, 2)?

    -5-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1-1001122334455AB

    answer box

    Show answer

    2

    Hint: slope = rise ÷ run = (2 − 0) ÷ (3 − 2) = 2 ÷ 1 = 2.

  4. Question 4

    Solve for x: 6(x + 4) = 18

    answer box

    Show answer

    -1

    Hint: Divide both sides by 6: x + 4 = 3. Subtract 4: x = −1.

  5. Question 5

    Classify the polynomial 4x² + 7 by its number of terms.

    • trinomial
    • binomial
    • quadrinomial
    • monomial
    Show answer

    binomial

    Hint: Count the terms: 4x² + 7 has 2. One term is a monomial, two a binomial, three a trinomial.

  6. Question 6

    Triangle B is an enlargement of triangle A. A side of 9 cm on triangle A matches a side of 18 cm on triangle B. What is the scale factor?

    answer box

    Show answer

    2

    Hint: Scale factor = new length ÷ original length = 18 ÷ 9 = 2.

  7. Question 7

    A school has 400 students. A survey asks 20 of them. What fraction of the students were surveyed? Type it in lowest terms.

    answer box

    Show answer

    1/20

    Hint: Fraction = 20/400, which is 1/20 in lowest terms.

  8. Question 8

    What is (−5)³?

    answer box

    Show answer

    -125

    Hint: Multiply −5 by itself 3 times. An odd number of negatives gives a negative answer: -125.

  9. Question 9

    −3/7 ÷ 3/5 = ?

    • 5/7
    • -5/7
    • -2/3
    • -7/5
    • -15/22
    Show answer

    -5/7

    Hint: Multiply by the reciprocal: −3/7 × 5/3 = −15/21. A negative ÷ positive is negative. Lowest terms: -5/7.

  10. Question 10

    Find the slope of the line through (-2, 1) and (0, 2).

    -5-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1-1001122334455AB
    • -2
    • -1/2
    • 2
    • 1/2
    Show answer

    1/2

    Hint: rise = 1, run = 2, so slope = 1/2.
