10 Sample 6th Grade PARCC Math Practice Questions
What is the equation of a line that passes through points \((0, 4)\) and \((2, 8)\)?
\(y = x\)
\(y = x + 4\)
\(y = 2x + 4\)
\(y = 2x – 4\)
Show answer and explanation
C
The slope of the line is:
\(\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1 }= \frac{8 – 4}{2 – 0}=\frac{4}{2}=2\)
The equation of a line can be written as:
\( y-y_0=m(x – x_0 )→y-4 = 2(x – 0)→y-4 = 2x→y = 2x + 4\)
What is the volume of a box with the following dimensions?
Height \(= 6\) cm, Width \(= 7\) cm, Length \(= 9\) cm
\(63 \space cm^3\)
\(126\space cm^3\)
\(189\space cm^3\)
\(378\space cm^3\)
Show answer and explanation
D
Volume of a \(box = length × width × height = 6 × 7 × 9 = 378\)
Anita’s trick–or–treat bag contains 14 pieces of chocolate, 15 suckers, 16 pieces of gum, and 20 pieces of licorice. If she randomly pulls a piece of candy from her bag, what is the probability of her pulling out a piece of sucker?
\(\frac{1}{13}\)
\(\frac{3}{13}\)
\(\frac{14}{65}\)
\(\frac{16}{65}\)
Show answer and explanation
B
\(Probability = \frac{number \space of \space desired \space outcomes}{number \space of \space total \space outcomes}=\frac{15}{14+15+16+20}= \frac{15}{65}=\frac{3}{13}\)
In the following rectangle, which statement is false?
AD is parallel to BC
The measure of the sum of all the angles equals \(360^\circ\).
Length of AB equal to length DC.
AB is perpendicular to AC.
Show answer and explanation
D
In any rectangle, the sides are not perpendicular to the diagonals.
The area of a rectangular yard is 90 square meters. What is its width if its length is 15 meters?
10 meters
8 meters
6 meters
4 meters
Show answer and explanation
C
Let y be the width of the rectangle. Then; \(15×y=90→y=\frac{90}{15}=6\)
Which statement about 4 multiplied by \(\frac{3}{5}\) must be true?
The product is between 1 and 2
The product is greater than 3
The product is equal to \(\frac{75}{31}\)
The product is between 2 and 2.5
Show answer and explanation
D
\( 4×\frac{3}{5}=\frac{12}{5}=2.4 \)
\( 2.4>2\)
\( 2.4<3\)
\( \frac{75}{31}=2.419≠2.4\)
\(2<2.4<2.5 \) This is the answer!
Which of the following lists shows the fractions in order from least to greatest?
\(\frac{3}{4}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{3}{8}, \frac{5}{11}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{5}{11}\)
\(\frac{2}{7}, \frac{5}{11}, \frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{2}{7}, \frac{3}{8}, \frac{5}{11}, \frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{5}{11}, \frac{3}{4}\)
Show answer and explanation
C
Let’s compare each fraction:
\(\frac{2}{7}< \frac{3}{8}< \frac{5}{11} < \frac{3}{4}\)
Only choice C provides the right order.
A car costing $300 is discounted \(10\%\). Which of the following expressions can be used to find the selling price of the car?
\((300)(0.4)\)
\(300-(300×0.1)\)
\((300)(0.1)\)
\( 300-(300×0.9)\)
Show answer and explanation
B
To find the discount, multiply the number (\(100\%\)- rate of discount)
Therefore; \(300(100\%-10\%)=300(1-0.1)=300-(300×0.1)\)
What is the missing price factor of number 420?
\(420=2^2×3^1×…\)
\(2^2×3^1×5^1×7^1\)
\(2^2×3^1×7^1×9^1\)
\(1^2×2^3×2^1×3^1\)
\(3^2×5^1×7^1×9^1\)
Show answer and explanation
A
\(420=2^2×3^1×5^1×7^1\)
If the area of the following trapezoid is equal to A, which equation represent \(x\)?
\(x = \frac{13}{A}\)
\(x = \frac{A}{13}\)
\( x=A+13\)
\( x=A-13\)
Show answer and explanation
B
The area of the trapezoid is: area= \(\frac{(base 1+base 2)}{2}×height= (\frac{10 + 16}{2})x = A\)
\( →13x = A→x = \frac{A}{13}\)
