Sample MAAP Math Grade 6 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the MAAP Math Grade 6 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A bag contains 6 red marbles and 10 blue marbles. What is the simplified ratio of red marbles to total marbles in the bag?
A.3 to 5
B.3 to 8
C.5 to 8
D.3 to 16
Explanation: First, calculate the total number of marbles: 6 red + 10 blue = 16 total marbles. The ratio of red marbles to total marbles is 6 to 16. To simplify 6/16, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, 2: 6 ÷ 2 = 3 and 16 ÷ 2 = 8. Thus, the simplified ratio is 3 to 8.
2An animal shelter has 15 cats and 20 dogs. Which ratio represents the ratio of cats to dogs in simplest form?
A.3:4
B.4:3
C.3:7
D.4:7
Explanation: The ratio of cats to dogs is 15:20. Divide both terms by their greatest common factor, 5: 15 ÷ 5 = 3 and 20 ÷ 5 = 4. The simplified ratio of cats to dogs is 3:4.
3A recipe calls for 4 cups of flour for every 5 cups of sugar. Which statement correctly describes this ratio?
A.For every 1 cup of flour, there are 5 cups of sugar.
B.For every 4 cups of flour, there are 5 cups of sugar.
C.The ratio of sugar to flour is 4 to 5.
D.Flour makes up 5/4 of the total recipe ingredients.
Explanation: The recipe specifies 4 cups of flour for every 5 cups of sugar. This directly means the ratio of flour to sugar is 4 to 5, or 4 cups of flour for every 5 cups of sugar.
4Which group shows three valid ways to write the ratio of 7 items to 9 items?
A.7:9, 7 to 9, and 7/9
B.7:9, 9 to 7, and 7/9
C.7:16, 7 to 9, and 9/7
D.7.9, 7 to 9, and 7-9
Explanation: Ratios can be written using a colon (7:9), the word 'to' (7 to 9), or as a fraction (7/9). All three represent the exact same relationship.
5A 4-pound bag of apples costs $12.00. What is the unit rate of the apples in dollars per pound?
A.$3.00 per pound
B.$4.00 per pound
C.$0.33 per pound
D.$48.00 per pound
Explanation: To find the unit rate in dollars per pound, divide the total cost by the number of pounds: $12.00 ÷ 4 pounds = $3.00 per pound.
6A car travels 150 miles in 3 hours at a constant speed. What is the car's speed in miles per hour?
A.45 mph
B.50 mph
C.60 mph
D.450 mph
Explanation: To calculate speed in miles per hour (unit rate), divide total distance by total time: 150 miles ÷ 3 hours = 50 miles per hour.
7Brand A sells a 15-ounce box of cereal for $4.50. Brand B sells a 16-ounce box of cereal for $5.60. Which brand is the better buy, and what is the difference in unit price per ounce?
A.Brand A is better by $0.05 per ounce.
B.Brand B is better by $0.05 per ounce.
C.Brand A is better by $0.10 per ounce.
D.Both brands have the exact same unit price.
Explanation: Calculate the unit price for each brand: Brand A: $4.50 ÷ 15 oz = $0.30 per ounce. Brand B: $5.60 ÷ 16 oz = $0.35 per ounce. Since $0.30 < $0.35, Brand A is the better buy. The difference per ounce is $0.35 - $0.30 = $0.05 per ounce.
8A truck traveled 312 miles on 12 gallons of gasoline. How many miles per gallon did the truck average?
A.24 mpg
B.26 mpg
C.28 mpg
D.30 mpg
Explanation: Divide total miles by total gallons: 312 miles ÷ 12 gallons = 26 miles per gallon.
9In a ratio table showing equivalent ratios, the ratio of green paint to yellow paint is 3 to 5. If a mixture uses 25 cups of yellow paint, how many cups of green paint are needed?
A.10 cups
B.15 cups
C.20 cups
D.30 cups
Explanation: Set up the proportion: 3 / 5 = x / 25. Since 5 × 5 = 25, multiply the numerator 3 by 5: 3 × 5 = 15. Thus, 15 cups of green paint are needed.
10A ratio table relates cups of flour to cups of sugar in a bakery recipe as 4 to 3. If a baker uses 16 cups of flour, how many cups of sugar should be used?
A.9 cups
B.12 cups
C.15 cups
D.16 cups
Explanation: The ratio of flour to sugar is 4:3. To find the unknown cups of sugar (s) for 16 cups of flour, set up 4/3 = 16/s. Since 16 ÷ 4 = 4, multiply 3 by 4: 3 × 4 = 12 cups of sugar.
