Sample Nebraska NSCAS Math Grade 7 Practice Questions

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

1Compute: -7 + 12.

A.5

B.-5

C.19

D.-19

Explanation: Different signs: subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger. |12| - |-7| = 12 - 7 = 5, and keep the positive sign. So -7 + 12 = 5.

2Compute: -4 - 9.

A.-13

B.13

C.5

D.-5

Explanation: Subtracting 9 means adding its opposite: -4 + (-9). Same sign, so add the magnitudes and keep the negative: 4 + 9 = 13, giving -13.

3Compute: -6 × (-8).

A.48

B.-48

C.2

D.-14

Explanation: A negative times a negative is positive: -6 × (-8) = 6 × 8 = 48.

4What is 3/8 written as a decimal?

A.0.375

B.0.385

C.0.83

D.0.3

Explanation: Divide 3 by 8: 8 × 0.3 = 2.4, remainder 0.6; 8 × 0.07 = 0.56, remainder 0.04; 8 × 0.005 = 0.04. So 3/8 = 0.375.

5Compute: -3.5 + 2.8.

A.-0.7

B.0.7

C.-6.3

D.6.3

Explanation: Different signs: subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger. 3.5 - 2.8 = 0.7, and keep the sign of -3.5, giving -0.7.

6Compute: -5.2 - (-3.9).

A.-1.3

B.1.3

C.-9.1

D.9.1

Explanation: Subtracting a negative means adding its opposite: -5.2 + 3.9. Different signs: 5.2 - 3.9 = 1.3, keep the sign of -5.2, giving -1.3.

7Compute: (-2/3) × (6/5). Simplify your answer.

A.-4/5

B.4/5

C.-1/5

D.-5/4

Explanation: Multiply numerators and denominators: (-2 × 6)/(3 × 5) = -12/15. Simplify by dividing by the GCF 3: -12/15 = -4/5.

8Compute: (-3/4) ÷ (2/3).

A.-9/8

B.9/8

C.-8/9

D.-1/2

Explanation: Dividing by 2/3 means multiplying by its reciprocal 3/2: (-3/4) × (3/2) = (-3 × 3)/(4 × 2) = -9/8.

9Compute: -0.6 × 0.7.

A.-0.42

B.0.42

C.-4.2

D.4.2

Explanation: A negative times a positive is negative. Multiply 6 × 7 = 42, then place the decimal: 0.6 × 0.7 = 0.42, so the answer is -0.42.

10Compute: 1/2 + (-3/4).

A.-1/4

B.1/4

C.5/4

D.-5/4

Explanation: Use a common denominator of 4: 1/2 = 2/4, so 2/4 + (-3/4) = (2 - 3)/4 = -1/4.

Nebraska NSCAS Math Grade 7 Study Tips from Top Performers

1For percent problems, set up a proportion (part/whole = percent/100) before solving.

2Use C = 2πr for circumference and A = πr² for area; keep the radius and diameter straight.

3For compound probability, multiply probabilities for independent events and use organized lists or tree diagrams.

4Distribute and combine like terms before isolating the variable in multi-step equations.

5For scale drawings, set up a ratio of model-to-actual and keep units consistent.
