Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Map 4th Grade Math

What is the length of a rectangular room with a perimeter of \(\displaystyle 42ft\) and a width of \(\displaystyle 7ft?\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 28ft\)

\(\displaystyle 22ft\)

\(\displaystyle 14ft\)

\(\displaystyle 18ft\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 14ft\)

Explanation:

\(\displaystyle P=2l+ 2w\)

We have the perimeter and the width, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve for our unknown. 

\(\displaystyle 42=2l+2(7)\)

\(\displaystyle 42=2l+14\)

Subtract \(\displaystyle 14\) from both sides

\(\displaystyle 42-14=2l+14-14\)

\(\displaystyle 28=2l\)

Divide \(\displaystyle 2\) by both sides

\(\displaystyle \frac{28}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 14=l\)

Example Question #2 : Map 4th Grade Math

David wants to put a fence around his backyard. How much fencing will he need if his backyard is \(\displaystyle 10ft\) by \(\displaystyle 5ft?\)

 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 27ft\)

\(\displaystyle 30ft\)

\(\displaystyle 28ft\)

\(\displaystyle 29ft\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 30ft\)

Explanation:

The fence is going around the backyard, so this is a perimeter problem. 

\(\displaystyle P=2l+2w\)

\(\displaystyle P=2(10)+2(5)\)

\(\displaystyle P=20+10\)

\(\displaystyle P=30\)

Example Question #3 : Map 4th Grade Math

If we wanted to make this angle into a straight line, how many more degrees would we need to add? 

32degrees

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 148^\circ\)

\(\displaystyle 142^\circ\)

\(\displaystyle 144^\circ\)

\(\displaystyle 140^\circ\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 148^\circ\)

Explanation:

A straight line has a measurement of \(\displaystyle 180^\circ\). We can subtract to find how much more we'd need to have a straight line. 

\(\displaystyle 180-32=148\)

Example Question #4 : Map 4th Grade Math

The triangle below can be classified as what type of triangle? 

Screen shot 2015 12 10 at 11.00.31 am

Possible Answers:

Isosceles triangle

Scalene triangle

Right triangle 

Equilateral triangle 

Correct answer:

Isosceles triangle

Explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle because an isosceles triangle has two equal sides. 

This triangle is a not scalene triangle because a scalene triangle has side lengths of all different lengths.

This is not an equilateral triangle because an equilateral triangle has to have all sides equal in length. 

This is not a right triangle because a right triangle has to have a right angle, an angle that measures \(\displaystyle 90^\circ\).

Example Question #5 : Map 4th Grade Math

Does the black line in the figure represent a line of symmetry? 

 

3

Possible Answers:

No

Neither choice is correct

Both choices are correct 

Yes

Correct answer:

Yes

Explanation:

When you are trying to decide if a line represents a line of symmetry you can think about folding the figure across that line. Once you make the fold, do all of the parts line up on top?

If yes, then the line represents a line of symmetry. 

If no, then the line does not represent a line of symmetry. 

3

This line represents a line of symmetry because if you fold on the black line, then one side would lay on top of the other and the parts would match up. 

Example Question #6 : Map 4th Grade Math

The triangle below can be classified as what type of triangle? 

Screen shot 2015 12 10 at 10.58.14 am

Possible Answers:

Right triangle 

Scalene triangle

Isosceles triangle

Equilateral triangle 

Correct answer:

Equilateral triangle 

Explanation:

This is an equilateral triangle because the sides are all equal, and an equilateral triangle has to have all sides equal in length. 

This triangle is not a scalene triangle because all of the side lengths are not different lengths.

This is not an isosceles triangle because an isosceles triangle has only two equal sides. 

This is not a right triangle because a right triangle has to have a right angle, an angle that measures \(\displaystyle 90^\circ\)

Example Question #7 : Map 4th Grade Math

Select the decimal that is equivalent to \(\displaystyle \frac{12}{100}\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 12.12\)

\(\displaystyle 1.2\)

\(\displaystyle .12\)

\(\displaystyle .012\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle .12\)

Explanation:

\(\displaystyle \frac{12}{100}\) is twelve hundredths. 

\(\displaystyle .12\) is twelve hundredths. When we say a decimal, we say the number and add the place-value of the last digit. 

Example Question #8 : Map 4th Grade Math

Fill in the blank with the missing fraction. 

\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{7}\times\frac{?}{?}=\frac{3}{21}\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle \frac{2}{2}\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{3}{3}\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{2}{4}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle \frac{3}{3}\)

Explanation:

In this problem we are making equivalent fractions. In order to make equivalent fractions you have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number. 

\(\displaystyle 1\times3=3\)

\(\displaystyle 7\times3=21\)

Example Question #9 : Map 4th Grade Math

Select the symbol to correctly fill in the blank below. 

\(\displaystyle \frac{7}{8}\) __________\(\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle =\)

\(\displaystyle >\)

\(\displaystyle < \)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle >\)

Explanation:

To compare fractions, we need to first make common denominators. 

\(\displaystyle \frac{7}{8}\times\frac{5}{5}=\frac{35}{40}\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}\times\frac{8}{8}=\frac{16}{40}\)

Now that we have common denominators, we can compare numerators. The fraction with the bigger numerator has the greater value. 

\(\displaystyle \frac{35}{40}>\frac{16}{40}\)

Example Question #10 : Map 4th Grade Math

Justin has \(\displaystyle 4\) shelves in his room. Each shelf holds \(\displaystyle 8\) toys. If Justin has \(\displaystyle 40\) toys, how many toys don't fit on the shelves? 

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 8\)

\(\displaystyle 10\)

\(\displaystyle 7\)

\(\displaystyle 9\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 8\)

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to find out how many of Justin's toys will fit on the shelves. If we have \(\displaystyle 4\) shelves, and \(\displaystyle 8\) toys fit on each shelf, we can multiply those two numbers together to find out the total number of toys that will fit. Let's let \(\displaystyle f\) represent the number of toys that will fit. 

\(\displaystyle 4\times8=f\)

\(\displaystyle 32=f\)

Justin has \(\displaystyle 40\) toys, so to find out how many don't fit on the shelves we need to know what is left over, so we subtract. Let's let \(\displaystyle t\) represent the number of toys left over. 

\(\displaystyle 40-32=t\)

\(\displaystyle 8=t\)
