1A bakery recipe uses $\frac{3}{4}$ cup of sugar for every $\frac{1}{2}$ batch of muffins. How many cups of sugar are needed for 1 full batch of muffins?
A.$1\frac{1}{2}$ cups
B.$\frac{3}{8}$ cup
C.$1\frac{1}{4}$ cups
D.2 cups
Explanation: To find the unit rate in cups of sugar per batch, divide $\frac{3}{4}$ by $\frac{1}{2}$. Calculating $\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{6}{4} = 1\frac{1}{2}$ cups.
2A cyclist travels $\frac{2}{5}$ mile in $\frac{1}{10}$ hour. What is the cyclist's average speed in miles per hour?
A.4 miles per hour
B.$\frac{1}{25}$ mile per hour
C.$\frac{1}{4}$ mile per hour
D.5 miles per hour
Explanation: Average speed is distance divided by time: $\frac{2}{5} \div \frac{1}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{10}{1} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$ miles per hour.
3The table below shows a proportional relationship between hours worked ($x$) and total earnings in dollars ($y$): | Hours ($x$) | Earnings ($y$) | |---|---| | 3 | $45 | | 5 | $75 | | 8 | $120 | What is the constant of proportionality ($k = \frac{y}{x}$) in dollars per hour?
A.15
B.$\frac{1}{15}$
C.30
D.42
Explanation: The constant of proportionality $k$ is calculated by taking $k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{45}{3} = 15$ dollars per hour.
4A car uses 4 gallons of gasoline to travel 112 miles. Which equation represents the proportional relationship between the distance in miles ($d$) and the gallons of gas ($g$)?
A.$d = 28g$
B.$g = 28d$
C.$d = 4g$
D.$d = g + 108$
Explanation: The unit rate is $\frac{112 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ gallons}} = 28$ miles per gallon. Thus, the distance $d$ for $g$ gallons is given by $d = 28g$.
5Store A sells 12 ounces of cereal for $3.60. Store B sells 16 ounces of the same cereal for $4.32. Which store has the lower unit price, and by how much per ounce?
A.Store B by $0.03 per ounce
B.Store A by $0.03 per ounce
C.Store B by $0.05 per ounce
D.Store A by $0.05 per ounce
Explanation: Store A unit price: $\frac{$3.60}{12} = $0.30$ per ounce. Store B unit price: $\frac{$4.32}{16} = $0.27$ per ounce. Store B is cheaper by $$0.30 - $0.27 = $0.03$ per ounce.
6A line on a coordinate plane representing a proportional relationship passes through $(0, 0)$ and $(4, 18)$. What is the constant of proportionality represented by this graph?
A.4.5
B.0.22
C.14
D.72
Explanation: For a line passing through $(0, 0)$ and $(x, y)$, the constant of proportionality is $k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{18}{4} = 4.5$.
7A hiker walks $2\frac{1}{4}$ miles in $\frac{3}{4}$ hour. What is the hiker's unit rate in miles per hour?
A.3 miles per hour
B.$1\frac{11}{16}$ miles per hour
C.$2$ miles per hour
D.$3\frac{1}{2}$ miles per hour
Explanation: Convert $2\frac{1}{4}$ to an improper fraction: $\frac{9}{4}$. Divide distance by time: $\frac{9}{4} \div \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{36}{12} = 3$ miles per hour.
8A paint mixture uses 3 pints of yellow paint for every 5 pints of blue paint. If a painter uses 12 pints of yellow paint, how many pints of blue paint are needed to maintain the proportional mixture?
A.20
B.15
C.14
D.25
Explanation: Set up the proportion: $\frac{3 \text{ yellow}}{5 \text{ blue}} = \frac{12 \text{ yellow}}{x \text{ blue}}$. Cross-multiply to solve: $3x = 60 \implies x = 20$ pints of blue paint.
9The table shows a proportional relationship between pounds of apples purchased ($x$) and total cost ($y$): | Weight ($x$) | Total Cost ($y$) | |---|---| | 2.5 lbs | $6.25 | | 4.0 lbs | $10.00 | | 7.5 lbs | ? | What is the missing total cost for 7.5 pounds of apples?
A.$18.75
B.$15.00
C.$16.25
D.$20.00
Explanation: First find the unit rate: $k = \frac{$6.25}{2.5} = $2.50$ per pound. Multiply unit rate by 7.5 lbs: $2.50 \times 7.5 = $18.75$.
10Worker A earns $162 for $13.5$ hours of work. Worker B earns $195 for $15$ hours of work. Which worker earns a higher hourly rate, and by how much?
A.Worker B by $1.00 per hour
B.Worker A by $1.00 per hour
C.Worker B by $0.50 per hour
D.Worker A by $0.50 per hour
Explanation: Worker A hourly rate: $\frac{$162}{13.5} = $12.00$ per hour. Worker B hourly rate: $\frac{$195}{15} = $13.00$ per hour. Worker B earns $$13.00 - $12.00 = $1.00$ per hour more.

About the OSTP Math Grade 7 Exam

The OSTP Grade 7 Mathematics assessment measures proficiency against the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics. Grade 7 shifts weight toward geometry and measurement — prisms, composite figures, circles, unit conversion, similarity and transformations — while proportional reasoning, percent applications, equations and inequalities sit in Algebraic Reasoning.

OSTP Math Grade 7: Suggested Study Strategy

1Spend the most time on geometry: surface area and volume of rectangular prisms, area of trapezoids and composite figures, and circumference and area of circles.
2Practise unit conversions of weight and capacity within a measurement system — this sits in 7.GM.3 alongside circles.
3Work on scale drawings, similar figures and transformations on the coordinate plane (7.GM.4).
4Drill proportional reasoning in context: unit rates, constant of proportionality, percent increase and decrease, discounts, tips and simple interest.
5Review probability and data displays — circle graphs, histograms and box plots — which together carry 18-24% of the test.
