Answer Key — Math 6 (Grade 6) Midterm — Semester 1, Form B
- B — 40 25 ÷ 5 = 5 minutes per km; 5 × 8 = 40.
- A — 24 0.30 × 80 = 24.
- C — 72 18 ÷ 0.25 = 72.
- D — 50 miles per hour 150 ÷ 3 = 50 miles per hour.
- D — 12 3:2 = 12:8, since 8 ÷ 2 = 4 and 3 × 4 = 12.
- C — 32 Multiply both by 10: 96 ÷ 3 = 32.
- D — 14 7/2 × 4/1 = 28/2 = 14.
- C — 7.72 12.50 − 4.78 = 7.72.
- C — 3.6 72 × 5 = 360; two decimal places gives 3.60.
- C — 24 Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24. 24 is the first divisible by 6.
- D — Quadrant II Negative x and positive y place a point in Quadrant II.
- D — 11°F −4 + 15 = 11.
- D — 7 Opposites are the same distance from 0 on opposite sides.
- C — −3, −0.5, 0.25, 2 −3 is farthest left on the number line, then −0.5, 0.25, and 2.
- C — −1.5 −2 < −1.5 < −1.
