Sample North Dakota A+ Mathematics Grade 6 Practice Questions

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

1In a class, the ratio of boys to girls is 3 to 5. If there are 15 boys, how many girls are in the class?
A.25
B.9
C.18
D.30
Explanation: Set up the proportion 3/5 = 15/g. Cross multiply: 3g = 75, so g = 25. There are 25 girls.
2A car travels 240 miles in 4 hours at a constant speed. What is the unit rate in miles per hour?
A.60
B.40
C.96
D.4
Explanation: Unit rate = distance / time = 240 / 4 = 60 miles per hour.
3A store sells 4 cans of soup for $6.00. What is the unit price per can?
A.$1.50
B.$0.67
C.$2.00
D.$24.00
Explanation: Unit price = total cost / number of cans = 6.00 / 4 = $1.50 per can.
4Compute 3/4 divided by 1/8.
A.6
B.3/32
C.8/3
D.12
Explanation: Divide by multiplying by the reciprocal: 3/4 x 8/1 = 24/4 = 6.
5What is 2.5 x 0.4?
A.1.0
B.0.10
C.10.0
D.0.025
Explanation: 25 x 4 = 100, and there are two decimal places total, so 2.5 x 0.4 = 1.0.
6What is the value of |-9|?
A.9
B.-9
C.0
D.1/9
Explanation: Absolute value is the distance from 0 on the number line, so |-9| = 9.
7What is the opposite of -12?
A.12
B.-12
C.1/12
D.0
Explanation: The opposite of a number is the value the same distance from 0 on the other side, so the opposite of -12 is 12.
8Which number is greater: -4 or -7?
A.-4
B.-7
C.They are equal
D.Cannot be determined
Explanation: On the number line, -4 is to the right of -7, so -4 is the greater number.
9What is the greatest common factor of 36 and 48?
A.12
B.6
C.4
D.144
Explanation: Factors of 36: 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36. Factors of 48: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48. The greatest common factor is 12.
10What is the least common multiple of 8 and 12?
A.24
B.4
C.96
D.2
Explanation: Multiples of 8: 8,16,24,32,... Multiples of 12: 12,24,36,... The smallest common multiple is 24.

North Dakota A+ Mathematics Grade 6: Suggested Study Strategy

1Rewrite fraction division as multiplying by the reciprocal, then simplify before multiplying.
2For percent problems, set up a proportion (part/whole = percent/100) or translate percent to a decimal.
3Isolate the variable by doing the same inverse operation to both sides of an equation.
4Identify measures of center (mean, median) and spread (range, IQR) before describing a distribution's shape.
5Keep, change, flip is for division only; for adding negatives, think left and right on the number line.
