Sample DC CAPE 2.0 Math Grade 6 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your DC CAPE 2.0 Math Grade 6 exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A recipe uses 3 cups of flour for every 2 cups of milk. What is the ratio of flour to milk in simplest form?
A.3 to 5
B.3 to 2
C.5 to 2
D.2 to 3
Explanation: The recipe uses 3 cups flour for 2 cups milk, so flour:milk is 3:2, already in simplest form.
2There are 12 red marbles and 18 blue marbles in a bag. What is the ratio of red marbles to total marbles in simplest form?
A.2 to 5
B.3 to 5
C.2 to 3
D.12 to 18
Explanation: Total marbles = 12 + 18 = 30. Ratio red:total = 12:30. Divide both by 6 to get 2:5.
3A car travels 150 miles in 3 hours at a constant speed. What is the unit rate in miles per hour?
A.3 miles per hour
B.45 miles per hour
C.150 miles per hour
D.50 miles per hour
Explanation: Unit rate = 150 miles ÷ 3 hours = 50 miles per hour.
4Bananas cost $1.20 for 4 bananas. What is the unit price per banana?
A.$0.30
B.$4.80
C.$1.20
D.$0.40
Explanation: Unit price = $1.20 ÷ 4 = $0.30 per banana.
5Which ratio is equivalent to 4:6?
A.6:4
B.4:3
C.8:10
D.2:3
Explanation: Divide 4:6 by 2 to get 2:3. Equivalent ratios scale by the same nonzero factor.
6What is 25% of 80?
A.25
B.40
C.16
D.20
Explanation: 25% = 0.25, and 0.25 × 80 = 20. Also, one-fourth of 80 is 20.
7A class has 8 boys and 12 girls. What is the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form?
A.3 to 2
B.8 to 20
C.2 to 3
D.2 to 5
Explanation: 8:12 divided by 4 is 2:3.
8A printer makes 240 pages in 6 minutes. How many pages does it make per minute?
A.36
B.40
C.1440
D.246
Explanation: 240 ÷ 6 = 40 pages per minute.
9A store sells 5 notebooks for $7.50. At this rate, how much do 8 notebooks cost?
A.$9.60
B.$15.00
C.$10.50
D.$12.00
Explanation: Unit price = $7.50 ÷ 5 = $1.50. Cost of 8 = 8 × $1.50 = $12.00.
10On a map, 2 centimeters represents 5 kilometers. How many kilometers are represented by 8 centimeters?
A.40 kilometers
B.16 kilometers
C.10 kilometers
D.20 kilometers
Explanation: 8 cm is 4 times 2 cm, so distance = 4 × 5 = 20 km. Or 2/5 = 8/x gives x = 20.

About the DC CAPE 2.0 Math Grade 6 Exam

District of Columbia Comprehensive Assessments of Progress in Education (DC CAPE) 2.0 Mathematics — Grade 6 is the District of Columbia's grade/course-level DC CAPE 2.0 statewide summative assessment administered by OSSE beginning SY 2026–27 (first operational window spring 2027). ELA and mathematics content is provided through the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium against the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), with grades 3–8 using Smarter Balanced summative adjusted blueprints and high school courses using DC end-of-course blueprints. Students test on Pearson TestNav (ADAM management). Official forms mix selected-response, technology-enabled, and constructed-response/performance tasks. OpenExamPrep free practice is an English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation aligned to public OSSE/Smarter Balanced/NGSS frameworks—not official secure items, not a full TE/CR/PT simulation, and not a substitute for classroom instruction or the official assessment.

DC CAPE 2.0 Math Grade 6 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Use OSSE-linked practice/sample resources and Smarter Balanced sample items so students learn digital tools and item interactions.
2Align review to grade-level Common Core (ELA/math) or NGSS (science) expectations named in OSSE CAPE 2.0 materials—not only generic worksheets.
3Review wrong answers by claim or science domain (reading/writing/research; concepts/procedures; life/physical/Earth) to target instruction.
4Use short, frequent practice sessions across the year rather than cramming only in the spring window.
5For performance-task and constructed-response skills, practice evidence selection, planning, modeling, and revision even when using MCQ study items.
