Sample OSTP Math Grade 6 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your OSTP 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.

1A recipe uses 3 cups of flour for every 5 cups of sugar. If a baker uses 15 cups of flour, how many cups of sugar are needed to maintain the ratio?
A.15 cups
B.20 cups
C.25 cups
D.30 cups
Explanation: The ratio of flour to sugar is 3:5. Setting up the proportion 3/5 = 15/x, we cross-multiply to get 3x = 75, which gives x = 25. Therefore, 25 cups of sugar are needed.
2A car travels 240 miles in 4 hours at a constant speed. What is the unit rate in miles per hour?
A.50 mph
B.60 mph
C.70 mph
D.80 mph
Explanation: To find the unit rate, divide the total distance by total time: 240 miles ÷ 4 hours = 60 miles per hour.
3What is 15% of $80?
A.$10
B.$12
C.$15
D.$18
Explanation: To calculate 15% of $80, convert 15% to a decimal (0.15) and multiply: 0.15 × 80 = 12. So, 15% of $80 is $12.
4In a 6th grade class, there are 12 boys and 16 girls. What is the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form?
A.3:4
B.4:3
C.3:7
D.4:7
Explanation: The ratio of boys to girls is 12:16. Dividing both terms by their greatest common factor, 4, gives 3:4.
5Maya scored 45 out of 60 points on a science quiz. What percentage score did Maya earn?
A.65%
B.70%
C.75%
D.80%
Explanation: Divide the score by the total: 45 ÷ 60 = 0.75. Converting 0.75 to a percentage gives 75%.
6A grocery store sells 3 pounds of apples for $4.50. What is the cost per pound?
A.$1.25
B.$1.50
C.$1.75
D.$2.00
Explanation: To find the cost per pound, divide the total cost by the number of pounds: $4.50 ÷ 3 = $1.50.
7The ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in a bag is 2:7. If there are 36 total marbles in the bag, how many are blue?
A.8
B.14
C.28
D.32
Explanation: Total ratio parts = 2 + 7 = 9 parts. Each part represents 36 ÷ 9 = 4 marbles. Since blue marbles represent 7 parts, 7 × 4 = 28 blue marbles.
8In a middle school, 40% of the 150 students play an instrument. How many students play an instrument?
A.40
B.50
C.60
D.75
Explanation: Multiply the total number of students by the decimal equivalent of 40%: 150 × 0.40 = 60 students.
9A truck travels 180 miles on 6 gallons of fuel. How many miles can it travel on 10 gallons at the same rate?
A.250 miles
B.280 miles
C.300 miles
D.320 miles
Explanation: First find the unit rate: 180 miles ÷ 6 gallons = 30 miles per gallon. Then multiply by 10 gallons: 30 × 10 = 300 miles.
10A jacket originally priced at $40 is on sale for 20% off. What is the sale price of the jacket?
A.$8
B.$28
C.$32
D.$35
Explanation: Calculate the discount: 20% of $40 = 0.20 × 40 = $8. Subtract discount from original price: $40 - $8 = $32.
