FAST Mathematical: Measurement and Data 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A student measures the perimeter of a square with side length 7 inches. What is the perimeter?
- 14 inches
- 21 inches
- 28 inches (Correct answer)
- 49 inches
Correct answer: 28 inches
Perimeter of a square = 4 × side length = 4 × 7 = 28 inches.
Question 2: A recipe requires 2 cups of flour. If a student wants to make 3 batches, how many cups of flour are needed in total?
- 4 cups
- 5 cups
- 6 cups (Correct answer)
- 8 cups
Correct answer: 6 cups
2 cups × 3 batches = 6 cups of flour total.
Question 3: On a pictograph, each picture of a sun represents 4 sunny days. If there are 5 suns shown for July, how many sunny days were there?
- 5 days
- 9 days
- 20 days (Correct answer)
- 45 days
Correct answer: 20 days
5 suns × 4 days per sun = 20 sunny days in July.
Question 4: A container holds 3 liters of juice. If 750 mL is poured out, how many milliliters remain?
- 2,250 mL (Correct answer)
- 2,750 mL
- 3,750 mL
- 2,150 mL
Correct answer: 2,250 mL
3 liters = 3,000 mL; 3,000 − 750 = 2,250 mL remaining.
Question 5: What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 cm and a height of 6 cm?
- 60 cm²
- 30 cm² (Correct answer)
- 16 cm²
- 120 cm²
Correct answer: 30 cm²
Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height = ½ × 10 × 6 = 30 cm².
Question 6: A student collects the following data on daily high temperatures (°F) for a week: 85, 88, 90, 85, 92, 88, 85. What is the median temperature?
- 85°F
- 88°F (Correct answer)
- 90°F
- 92°F
Correct answer: 88°F
Arranged in order: 85, 85, 85, 88, 88, 90, 92 — the middle (4th) value is 88°F.
