Sample PEI IMA Grade 9 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the PEI IMA Grade 9 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Evaluate the expression: $(-2.5) \times 0.4 + 3.8$.
A.2.8
B.1.8
C.-4.8
D.-2.8
Explanation: First multiply $(-2.5) \times 0.4 = -1.0$. Then add $3.8$ to obtain $-1.0 + 3.8 = 2.8$.
2Which of the following rational numbers lies between $-0.75$ and $-\frac{1}{2}$?
A.-0.6
B.-0.8
C.-0.4
D.-0.2
Explanation: Expressing $-\frac{1}{2}$ as a decimal gives $-0.50$. The value $-0.60$ lies between $-0.75$ and $-0.50$.
3What is the exact value of $\sqrt{\frac{49}{81}}$?
A.\frac{7}{9}
B.\frac{7}{81}
C.\frac{49}{9}
D.\frac{14}{18}
Explanation: The square root of a fraction is the square root of the numerator divided by the square root of the denominator: $\sqrt{49} / \sqrt{81} = \frac{7}{9}$.
4Evaluate: $\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right) \div \left(\frac{5}{8}\right) - \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$.
A.-\frac{7}{10}
B.-\frac{17}{10}
C.\frac{7}{10}
D.-\frac{1}{10}
Explanation: Dividing fractions gives $\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right) \times \left(\frac{8}{5}\right) = -\frac{6}{5} = -1.2$. Subtracting $-\frac{1}{2}$ means adding $0.5$: $-1.2 + 0.5 = -0.7 = -\frac{7}{10}$.
5Calculate the value of $\sqrt{0.64} + \sqrt{0.09} \times (-4)$.
A.-0.4
B.2.0
C.-2.0
D.0.4
Explanation: Find the roots first: $\sqrt{0.64} = 0.8$ and $\sqrt{0.09} = 0.3$. Then multiply $0.3 \times (-4) = -1.2$. Finally, add $0.8 + (-1.2) = -0.4$.
6At 6:00 AM, the temperature in Charlottetown was $-12.4^\circ\text{C}$. By noon, the temperature rose by $8.7^\circ\text{C}$, and by 6:00 PM it dropped by $3.5^\circ\text{C}$. What was the temperature at 6:00 PM?
A.-7.2^\circ\text{C}
B.-0.2^\circ\text{C}
C.-24.6^\circ\text{C}
D.-7.8^\circ\text{C}
Explanation: Start at $-12.4$. Rising by $8.7$ gives $-12.4 + 8.7 = -3.7^\circ\text{C}$. Dropping by $3.5$ gives $-3.7 - 3.5 = -7.2^\circ\text{C}$.
7Which decimal is equivalent to the mixed fraction $-2\frac{3}{8}$?
A.-2.375
B.-2.38
C.-2.3
D.-2.625
Explanation: Convert the fractional part: $\frac{3}{8} = 3 \div 8 = 0.375$. Therefore, $-2\frac{3}{8} = -2.375$.
8Evaluate: $\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 - \frac{5}{6} \div \frac{5}{3}$.
A.-\frac{1}{18}
B.\frac{1}{18}
C.-\frac{17}{18}
D.\frac{17}{18}
Explanation: Calculate the power: $\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{9}$. Divide the second term: $\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1}{2}$. Subtract: $\frac{4}{9} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{8}{18} - \frac{9}{18} = -\frac{1}{18}$.
9Estimate $\sqrt{38.5}$ to the nearest tenth.
A.6.2
B.6.5
C.5.8
D.6.8
Explanation: Since $6^2 = 36$ and $7^2 = 49$, the value is close to $6$. Testing $6.2^2 = 38.44$ shows $6.2$ is extremely close to $38.5$.
10Simplify: $\frac{-4.2 \times (-1.5)}{-0.5} + 2.4$.
A.-10.2
B.15.0
C.-15.0
D.10.2
Explanation: Multiply the numerator: $-4.2 \times (-1.5) = 6.3$. Divide by $-0.5$: $6.3 \div (-0.5) = -12.6$. Add $2.4$: $-12.6 + 2.4 = -10.2$.
