1A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for every 1/2 batch of cookies. What is the unit rate of sugar per full batch of cookies?
A.1 1/2 cups per batch
B.3/8 cup per batch
C.1 1/4 cups per batch
D.2 cups per batch
Explanation: To find the unit rate, divide the amount of sugar by the number of batches: (3/4) ÷ (1/2) = (3/4) × (2/1) = 6/4 = 1 1/2 cups of sugar per batch.
2A runner completes 1/3 of a lap in 1/6 of a minute. At this constant rate, how many laps can the runner complete in 1 minute?
A.2 laps
B.1/18 lap
C.3 laps
D.1/2 lap
Explanation: Divide the number of laps by the time in minutes: (1/3) ÷ (1/6) = (1/3) × (6/1) = 6/3 = 2 laps per minute.
3Which equation represents a proportional relationship with a constant of proportionality k = 4.5?
A.y = 4.5x
B.y = x + 4.5
C.y = 4.5/x
D.y = 4.5x + 1
Explanation: A proportional relationship between x and y is defined by the linear equation y = kx with a y-intercept of 0. Thus, y = 4.5x has k = 4.5.
4A table shows that 2 shirts cost $24, 4 shirts cost $48, and 6 shirts cost $72. What is the constant of proportionality (cost per shirt)?
A.$12 per shirt
B.$24 per shirt
C.$6 per shirt
D.$14 per shirt
Explanation: The constant of proportionality k is calculated as cost ÷ shirts = 24 / 2 = 48 / 4 = 72 / 6 = $12 per shirt.
5A jacket originally priced at $60 is on sale for 25% off. What is the amount of the discount?
A.$15
B.$45
C.$25
D.$35
Explanation: The discount amount is 25% of $60 = 0.25 × 60 = $15.
6A diner bill is $40. If a customer leaves a 15% tip, how much is the tip?
A.$6.00
B.$4.00
C.$15.00
D.$46.00
Explanation: The tip amount is calculated as 15% of $40 = 0.15 × 40 = $6.00.
7A student earns $500 in principal savings and earns 3% simple interest per year. How much interest is earned after 1 year?
A.$15
B.$50
C.$150
D.$515
Explanation: Simple interest I = P × r × t = $500 × 0.03 × 1 = $15.
8A painter paints 2/5 of a wall in 1/3 of an hour. How many walls can the painter paint in 1 hour?
A.1 1/5 walls
B.2/15 wall
C.5/6 wall
D.1 1/2 walls
Explanation: Unit rate = (2/5) ÷ (1/3) = (2/5) × (3/1) = 6/5 = 1 1/5 walls per hour.
9A car travels 12 1/2 miles in 1/4 of an hour. What is the car's average speed in miles per hour?
A.50 mph
B.3 1/8 mph
C.25 mph
D.48 mph
Explanation: Convert 12 1/2 to 25/2. Unit rate = (25/2) ÷ (1/4) = (25/2) × (4/1) = 100/2 = 50 miles per hour.
10Store A sells 5 pounds of apples for $7.50. Store B sells 8 pounds of apples for $11.20. Which store has the lower unit price, and by how much?
A.Store B by $0.10 per pound
B.Store A by $0.10 per pound
C.Store B by $0.20 per pound
D.Both stores have the same unit price
Explanation: Store A unit price = $7.50 / 5 = $1.50 per lb. Store B unit price = $11.20 / 8 = $1.40 per lb. Store B is cheaper by $1.50 - $1.40 = $0.10 per lb.

WI Forward Grade 7 Mathematics Study Tips from Top Performers

1Calculate unit rates from complex fractions by dividing fractions: $(a/b) \div (c/d) = (a/b) \times (d/c)$.
2Remember that the constant of proportionality $k$ in a table or graph is found using $k = y / x$.
3Pay strict attention to negative signs when adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing rational numbers.
4Flip the inequality symbol whenever you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number.
5Memorize the circle formulas: $C = 2\pi r = \pi d$ and $A = \pi r^2$.
