Answer Key — Math 6 (Grade 6) Midterm — Units 5–6
- D — Yes, because 3(5) − 4 = 11 Substitute: 3 × 5 = 15 and 15 − 4 = 11.
- A — y = 9 Divide both sides by 6: 54 ÷ 6 = 9.
- B — x = 28 Multiply both sides by 4: 7 × 4 = 28.
- A — x = 14 Subtract 9 from both sides: 23 − 9 = 14.
- C — 6 6 + 7 = 13, and 13 > 12. Note 5 + 7 = 12 is not greater than 12.
- A — h ≥ 48 'At least 48' includes 48 and anything greater.
- D — 45 + m = 120 Savings plus the amount needed equals the total cost.
- A — n = 13.5 Add 3.5 to both sides: 10 + 3.5 = 13.5.
- B — y, the total cost The total cost depends on how many notebooks are bought.
- C — An open circle at 3 with shading to the left 3 is not included (open circle), and smaller values are to the left.
- A — 40 square cm A = b × h = 8 × 5 = 40.
- C — 6 cubic feet V = l × w × h = 3 × 4 × 1/2 = 6.
- C — 9.5 Ordered: 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 15. Middle two average: (9 + 10) ÷ 2 = 9.5.
- A — 30 square units A = 1/2 × b × h = 1/2 × 10 × 6 = 30.
- C — 2 Mean is 5; distances are 3, 1, 1, 3; average distance is 8 ÷ 4 = 2.
- B — 21 Range = greatest − least = 30 − 9 = 21.
- C — 8 Q1 = 4 and Q3 = 12, so IQR = 12 − 4 = 8.
- C — 54 square inches 6 faces × (3 × 3) = 6 × 9 = 54.
- B — How many hours do students in my class sleep? A statistical question expects answers that vary.
- D — 7 Sum is 35; 35 ÷ 5 = 7.
