Sample New Jersey NJSLA-Adaptive Math Grade 6 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your New Jersey NJSLA-Adaptive 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.

1In a class of 24 students, 16 are boys and the rest are girls. What is the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form?
A.2 to 1
B.1 to 2
C.16 to 24
D.3 to 1
Explanation: There are 16 boys and 24 − 16 = 8 girls, so the ratio of boys to girls is 16:8. Dividing both parts by the GCF, 8, gives 2:1.
2A recipe uses 2 cups of flour for every 3 cups of sugar. Which statement correctly describes this ratio?
A.For every 2 cups of flour there are 3 cups of sugar.
B.For every 3 cups of flour there are 2 cups of sugar.
C.The ratio of sugar to flour is 2 to 3.
D.There are 2 more cups of sugar than flour.
Explanation: The ratio 2:3 of flour to sugar means for every 2 cups of flour there are 3 cups of sugar, keeping the order named.
3A car travels 120 miles in 3 hours at a constant speed. What is the unit rate in miles per hour?
A.40 miles per hour
B.360 miles per hour
C.3 miles per hour
D.120 miles per hour
Explanation: The unit rate is distance divided by time: 120 ÷ 3 = 40 miles for each 1 hour.
4A store sells 4 apples for $2.00. What is the unit price per apple?
A.$0.50
B.$2.00
C.$8.00
D.$0.25
Explanation: The unit price is total cost divided by the number of apples: $2.00 ÷ 4 = $0.50 per apple.
5A runner completes 5 kilometers in 25 minutes. What is the runner's unit rate in minutes per kilometer?
A.5 minutes per kilometer
B.0.2 minutes per kilometer
C.25 minutes per kilometer
D.125 minutes per kilometer
Explanation: Minutes per kilometer is total minutes divided by kilometers: 25 ÷ 5 = 5 minutes for each kilometer.
6A table of equivalent ratios of x to y shows the pairs (2, 6), (4, 12), and (?, 18). What is the missing value?
A.6
B.3
C.9
D.12
Explanation: The ratio is 2:6 = 1:3, so y = 3x. When y = 18, x = 18 ÷ 3 = 6.
7A recipe has a ratio of 2 cups of lemon juice to 5 cups of water. Complete the equivalent ratio table: (2, 5), (4, 10), (6, ?). What is the missing value?
A.15
B.10
C.12
D.20
Explanation: The ratio 2:5 means multiplying both parts by the same factor. Going from 2 to 6 is a factor of 3, so 5 × 3 = 15.
8Mix A has a ratio of 3 tablespoons of sugar to 4 tablespoons of water. Mix B has a ratio of 5 tablespoons of sugar to 7 tablespoons of water. Which mix has more sugar per tablespoon of water?
A.Mix A
B.Mix B
C.They are the same
D.It cannot be determined
Explanation: Mix A has 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75 tablespoons of sugar per tablespoon of water. Mix B has 5 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.71, which is less than 0.75, so Mix A is sweeter.
9A printer prints 45 pages in 3 minutes. At this rate, how many pages will it print in 8 minutes?
A.120
B.135
C.24
D.105
Explanation: The unit rate is 45 ÷ 3 = 15 pages per minute. In 8 minutes it prints 15 × 8 = 120 pages.
10Store X sells a 16-ounce jar of peanut butter for $4.80. Store Y sells a 20-ounce jar for $6.00. Which is the better buy?
A.They cost the same per ounce
B.Store X is cheaper
C.Store Y is cheaper
D.Store Y is cheaper by $0.01 per ounce
Explanation: Store X costs 4.80 ÷ 16 = $0.30 per ounce. Store Y costs 6.00 ÷ 20 = $0.30 per ounce. The unit prices are equal.
