Sample M-STEP Grade 7 Mathematics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your M-STEP Grade 7 Mathematics exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A recipe requires 3/4 cup of flour for every 1/2 cup of sugar. What is the unit rate of flour to sugar in cups per cup?
A.1/2
B.3/8
C.1 1/2
D.2
Explanation: To find the unit rate of flour to sugar, divide the amount of flour by the amount of sugar: (3/4) ÷ (1/2) = (3/4) × (2/1) = 6/4 = 1 1/2 cups of flour per cup of sugar.
2A car travels 150 miles in 2.5 hours. What is the average speed of the car in miles per hour?
A.50 mph
B.55 mph
C.60 mph
D.65 mph
Explanation: Average speed is calculated by dividing total distance by total time: 150 miles ÷ 2.5 hours = 60 miles per hour.
3The equation y = 4.5x represents the cost y in dollars for x pounds of apples. What is the constant of proportionality?
A.4.5
B.1
C.9
D.0.45
Explanation: In a proportional equation of the form y = kx, the constant of proportionality is the multiplier k. Here, k = 4.5.
4Maya buys a shirt for $20.00. If the sales tax rate in Michigan is 6%, how much sales tax does Maya pay?
A.$0.60
B.$1.20
C.$2.00
D.$21.20
Explanation: To calculate the sales tax, multiply the price by the tax rate: $20.00 × 0.06 = $1.20.
5Marcus leaves an 18% tip on a restaurant bill of $40.00. How much is the tip?
A.$4.00
B.$6.80
C.$7.20
D.$8.00
Explanation: To find the tip, convert 18% to a decimal (0.18) and multiply by the bill: $40.00 × 0.18 = $7.20.
6A deposit of $500 earns simple interest at a rate of 4% per year. How much simple interest is earned after 2 years?
A.$20
B.$40
C.$400
D.$540
Explanation: Use the simple interest formula I = P × r × t: I = $500 × 0.04 × 2 = $40.00.
7A table shows that 2 notebooks cost $5.00, 4 notebooks cost $10.00, and 6 notebooks cost $15.00. What is the unit price per notebook?
A.$2.00
B.$2.50
C.$3.00
D.$5.00
Explanation: Divide total cost by the number of notebooks for any row: $5.00 ÷ 2 = $2.50 per notebook.
8A winter coat originally priced at $80.00 is on sale for 25% off. What is the discount amount in dollars?
A.$15.00
B.$20.00
C.$25.00
D.$60.00
Explanation: To find the discount amount, multiply the original price by the discount rate: $80.00 × 0.25 = $20.00.
9A painter covers 2/5 of a wall in 1/4 of an hour. At this rate, how many walls can the painter cover in 1 hour?
A.1/10 wall
B.5/8 wall
C.1 3/5 walls
D.2 1/2 walls
Explanation: Divide the fraction of the wall by the fraction of time: (2/5) ÷ (1/4) = (2/5) × (4/1) = 8/5 = 1 3/5 walls per hour.
10Liam's dinner bill is $32.00. He adds a 6% sales tax first, then adds a 15% tip based on the original dinner price. What is the total amount Liam pays?
A.$36.80
B.$38.72
C.$39.68
D.$41.92
Explanation: Tax = $32.00 × 0.06 = $1.92. Tip = $32.00 × 0.15 = $4.80. Total cost = $32.00 + $1.92 + $4.80 = $38.72.

M-STEP Grade 7 Mathematics Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practice finding unit rates from complex fractional ratios by dividing fractions (multiplying by the reciprocal).
2Identify constant of proportionality $k$ in tables ($k = y/x$), graphs (y-value when $x=1$), and equations ($y = kx$).
3Apply integer and rational number sign rules carefully when adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing negative values.
4Remember to reverse the inequality symbol when multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number.
5Use circle formulas ($C = 2\pi r$ or $\pi d$, $A = \pi r^2$) and pay close attention to whether radius or diameter is provided.
