1A runner completes 3/4 of a mile in 1/12 of an hour. What is the runner's average speed in miles per hour?
A.6 miles per hour
B.9 miles per hour
C.12 miles per hour
D.16 miles per hour
Explanation: To find the unit rate in miles per hour, divide the distance by the time: (3/4) ÷ (1/12) = (3/4) × (12/1) = 36/4 = 9 miles per hour.
2A bakery recipe requires 2/3 cup of sugar for every 1/2 batch of cookies. How many cups of sugar are needed for 1 full batch of cookies?
A.1/3 cup
B.3/4 cup
C.1 1/3 cups
D.1 1/2 cups
Explanation: Divide the amount of sugar by the batch fraction: (2/3) ÷ (1/2) = (2/3) × (2/1) = 4/3 = 1 1/3 cups of sugar per full batch.
3The table below shows a proportional relationship between x and y: x: 2, 5, 8 y: 14, 35, 56 What is the constant of proportionality (k = y/x)?
A.k = 2
B.k = 5
C.k = 7
D.k = 14
Explanation: The constant of proportionality k is found by dividing y by x for any ordered pair: 14/2 = 7, 35/5 = 7, and 56/8 = 7. Thus, k = 7.
4A line representing a proportional relationship passes through the origin (0, 0) and the point (4, 10). What is the constant of proportionality?
A.0.4
B.2.0
C.2.5
D.4.0
Explanation: In a proportional graph passing through (0,0), k = y/x. For the point (4, 10), k = 10 / 4 = 2.5.
5Which equation represents a direct proportional relationship with a constant of proportionality of 4.5?
A.y = x + 4.5
B.y = 4.5x
C.y = 4.5x + 1
D.y = x / 4.5
Explanation: A direct proportional relationship has the standard form y = kx. With k = 4.5, the equation is y = 4.5x.
6A shirt costs $25.00 before tax. South Carolina sales tax is 6%. How much sales tax will be added to the purchase?
A.$1.20
B.$1.50
C.$1.80
D.$2.50
Explanation: Multiply the original price by the tax percentage: $25.00 × 0.06 = $1.50.
7A restaurant meal costs $40.00. The customer leaves an 18% tip. What is the tip amount?
A.$5.40
B.$7.20
C.$8.00
D.$9.60
Explanation: Multiply the bill by the tip rate: $40.00 × 0.18 = $7.20.
8A winter jacket originally priced at $80.00 is on sale for 25% off. What is the final sale price of the jacket before tax?
A.$20.00
B.$55.00
C.$60.00
D.$65.00
Explanation: Calculate the discount: $80.00 × 0.25 = $20.00. Subtract the discount from the original price: $80.00 - $20.00 = $60.00.
9A sporting goods store buys a bicycle wholesale for $150.00 and marks up the price by 40%. What is the retail selling price?
A.$190.00
B.$200.00
C.$210.00
D.$240.00
Explanation: Calculate the markup amount: $150.00 × 0.40 = $60.00. Add the markup to the wholesale cost: $150.00 + $60.00 = $210.00.
10A student estimated the height of a tree to be 15 meters. The actual measured height of the tree is 12 meters. What is the percent error of the estimation?
A.20%
B.25%
C.30%
D.80%
Explanation: Percent Error = |Estimated - Actual| / Actual × 100% = |15 - 12| / 12 × 100% = 3 / 12 × 100% = 0.25 × 100% = 25%.

SC READY Math Grade 7 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master unit rates involving fractions by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.
2Pay strict attention to signs when operating on negative rational numbers (remember that subtracting a negative is equivalent to adding a positive).
3When solving two-step inequalities, remember to reverse the inequality sign whenever you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number.
4Use formulas accurately: C = πd or 2πr for circle circumference, A = πr² for circle area, and I = Prt for simple interest.
5Practice creating organized sample spaces or tree diagrams to calculate compound probabilities systematically.
