Sample Praxis Core Math Practice Questions

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

1A recipe that serves 4 people requires 6 cups of flour. How many cups of flour are needed to serve 10 people, keeping the same ratio?
A.12
B.15
C.16
D.24
Explanation: The ratio of flour to people is 6/4 = 1.5 cups per person. For 10 people: 1.5 x 10 = 15 cups. Alternatively, 6/4 = x/10 gives x = 60/4 = 15.
2What is 15% of 240?
A.36
B.24
C.16
D.48
Explanation: 15% = 0.15, so 0.15 x 240 = 36. You can also compute 10% (24) plus 5% (12) = 36.
3Evaluate: 8 + 3 x (6 - 2)^2.
A.100
B.176
C.44
D.56
Explanation: Using order of operations: (6-2) = 4, then 4^2 = 16, then 3 x 16 = 48, then 8 + 48 = 56.
4Which of the following numbers is prime?
A.27
B.29
C.33
D.51
Explanation: 29 has no divisors other than 1 and itself, so it is prime. 27 = 3 x 9, 33 = 3 x 11, and 51 = 3 x 17.
5What is 3/4 + 1/6 expressed as a single fraction in lowest terms?
A.11/12
B.4/10
C.5/6
D.7/12
Explanation: The common denominator is 12: 3/4 = 9/12 and 1/6 = 2/12, so 9/12 + 2/12 = 11/12, which is already in lowest terms.
6A car travels 180 miles in 3 hours. At this constant rate, how far will it travel in 5 hours?
A.270
B.240
C.360
D.300
Explanation: The rate is 180/3 = 60 miles per hour. In 5 hours: 60 x 5 = 300 miles.
7Convert 2.5 kilometers to meters.
A.2,500
B.250
C.25,000
D.25
Explanation: There are 1,000 meters in a kilometer, so 2.5 x 1,000 = 2,500 meters.
8Simplify: 2^5 / 2^2.
A.4
B.16
C.8
D.32
Explanation: Using the quotient rule for exponents, 2^5 / 2^2 = 2^(5-2) = 2^3 = 8.
9A shirt originally priced at $40 is on sale for 25% off. What is the sale price?
A.$32
B.$15
C.$30
D.$35
Explanation: 25% of $40 is $10, so the discount is $10 and the sale price is $40 - $10 = $30.
10Order the following from least to greatest: 0.6, 2/3, 0.58, 5/8.
A.0.58, 5/8, 0.6, 2/3
B.0.6, 0.58, 5/8, 2/3
C.2/3, 5/8, 0.6, 0.58
D.0.58, 0.6, 5/8, 2/3
Explanation: Convert to decimals: 0.6 = 0.600, 2/3 = 0.667, 0.58 = 0.580, 5/8 = 0.625. Ordering gives 0.580, 0.600, 0.625, 0.667, i.e., 0.58, 0.6, 5/8, 2/3.
