Sample Questions

Question 1

If a car travels 150 miles in 3 hours, how far will it travel in 5 hours at the same rate?

Answer: 250 miles. Set up a proportion: 150/3 = x/5, then solve: x = 250.

Question 2

A recipe uses 2 cups of flour for every 3 cups of sugar. If you use 9 cups of sugar, how many cups of flour are needed?

Answer: 6 cups of flour. The ratio 2:3 scales up by a factor of 3, so flour = 2 × 3 = 6.

Question 3

What does it mean for two quantities to be in a proportional relationship?

Answer: Two quantities are proportional when their ratio remains constant, meaning one variable is always a fixed multiple of the other (y = kx).

Question 4

A store sells 3 notebooks for $4.50. What is the unit price per notebook?

Answer: $1.50 per notebook. Divide the total price by the number of items: $4.50 ÷ 3 = $1.50.

Question 5

If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:5 and there are 24 boys, how many students are in the class total?

Answer: 64 students. Boys = 3 parts = 24, so 1 part = 8. Girls = 5 × 8 = 40. Total = 24 + 40 = 64.
