Answer key for parents & teachers (26 questions)
  1. What is a unit rate? โ€” A rate with a denominator of 1. A unit rate always has a denominator of 1, telling you the amount per single unit.
  2. To divide a fraction by another fraction, you should: โ€” Flip the second fraction (the divisor) and multiply. Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by its reciprocal โ€” flip the second fraction, then multiply.
  3. What is (1/2) รท (1/4)? โ€” 2. (1/2) ร— (4/1) = 4/2 = 2.
  4. What is the reciprocal of 3/7? โ€” 7/3. The reciprocal of 3/7 is 7/3 โ€” flip the numerator and denominator.
  5. Which expression correctly shows how to find the unit rate of (7/8) รท (7/4)? โ€” (7/8) ร— (4/7). Divide by multiplying by the reciprocal of 7/4, which is 4/7.
  6. Which of the following represents a unit rate? โ€” 30 miles per hour. "30 miles per hour" already expresses the rate per 1 unit of time โ€” it is a unit rate.
  7. What does it mean if the unit rate is greater than 1? โ€” You get more than 1 unit of the numerator per unit of denominator. A unit rate > 1 means you have MORE of the first quantity per single unit of the second quantity.
  8. What equation represents a proportional relationship? โ€” y = kx. A proportional relationship is written as y = kx where k is the constant of proportionality and there is no added constant.
  9. Which key feature must a graph have to show a proportional relationship? โ€” Passes through the origin (0, 0). A proportional relationship always passes through (0, 0) โ€” the origin โ€” because when x = 0, y = k ร— 0 = 0.
  10. What does the constant of proportionality k represent on a graph? โ€” The slope of the line. In y = kx, k is the slope โ€” the rise over run for every point on the line.
  11. If y = 6 when x = 2, what is k? โ€” 3. k = y/x = 6/2 = 3.
  12. A table shows: x = 1 โ†’ y = 7, x = 2 โ†’ y = 14, x = 3 โ†’ y = 21. Is this proportional? โ€” Yes, k = 7 for every pair. y/x = 7/1 = 14/2 = 21/3 = 7. The ratio is constant, so it is proportional with k = 7.
  13. A graph passes through (0, 0) and (4, 10). What is k? โ€” 2.5. k = y/x = 10/4 = 2.5.
  14. If k = 8, what is y when x = 6? โ€” 48. y = kx = 8 ร— 6 = 48.
  15. Oranges cost $2.50 per pound. Which equation models the total cost C for p pounds? โ€” C = 2.50p. Total cost = price per pound ร— number of pounds, so C = 2.50p. This is y = kx with k = 2.50.
  16. The graph of y = kx passes through (5, 35). What is k? โ€” 7. k = y/x = 35/5 = 7.
  17. A store sells notebooks for $2 each. Is the total cost proportional to the number bought? โ€” Yes, with k = 2. Total cost = 2 ร— number of notebooks. This is y = 2x, a proportional relationship with k = 2.
  18. Which graph represents a proportional relationship? โ€” A straight line through the origin. A proportional relationship graphs as a STRAIGHT LINE through the ORIGIN โ€” no curves, no y-intercept offset.
  19. How do you convert a percent to a decimal? โ€” Divide by 100. To convert a percent to a decimal, divide by 100. For example, 45% = 45 รท 100 = 0.45.
  20. What is 20% of $60? โ€” $12. $60 ร— 0.20 = $12.
  21. A $50 item is on sale for 30% off. What is the sale price? โ€” $35. Discount = $50 ร— 0.30 = $15. Sale price = $50 โˆ’ $15 = $35.
  22. What is the simple interest formula? โ€” I = P ร— r ร— t. Simple Interest I = Principal ร— rate ร— time (I = Prt).
  23. You invest $200 at 5% annual interest for 4 years. How much interest do you earn? โ€” $40. I = 200 ร— 0.05 ร— 4 = $40.
  24. What is 35% of 140? โ€” 49. 140 ร— 0.35 = 49.
  25. Quick mental math: What is 15% of $80? โ€” $12. 10% of $80 = $8. 5% = $4. 15% = $8 + $4 = $12.
  26. 75 is what percent of 300? โ€” 25%. 75/300 = 0.25 = 25%.
