NM-MSSA Mathematics 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the value of 7×(3+2)?
- 17
- 35 (Correct answer)
- 24
- 49
Correct answer: 35
To solve 7×(3+2), you must follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). First, calculate the expression inside the parentheses: 3 + 2 = 5. Then, multiply this result by 7: 7 × 5 = 35.
Question 2: Which of the following fractions is equivalent to 3/4?
- 6/8 (Correct answer)
- 2/3
- 9/12
- 4/5
Correct answer: 6/8
To find an equivalent fraction, you can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same non-zero number. For 3/4, multiplying both by 2 gives (3×2)/(4×2) = 6/8. This means 6/8 represents the same proportion as 3/4.
Question 3: What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 8 cm and a width of 5 cm?
- 13 cm²
- 26 cm²
- 40 cm² (Correct answer)
- 80 cm²
Correct answer: 40 cm²
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, 8 cm multiplied by 5 cm equals 40 cm². The unit for area is square centimeters (cm²).
Question 4: If a pattern starts with 2 and doubles each time (2, 4, 8, 16...), what is the 6th term in the pattern?
- 32
- 64 (Correct answer)
- 128
- 256
Correct answer: 64
To find the 6th term, we start with the first term (2) and double it repeatedly. The sequence is: 1st term = 2, 2nd term = 4, 3rd term = 8, 4th term = 16, 5th term = 32, and finally, the 6th term = 64.
Question 5: Solve for 𝑥: 5x+3=23.
- x=4 (Correct answer)
- x=5
- x=6
- x=7
Correct answer: x=4
To solve for x, first subtract 3 from both sides of the equation: 5x + 3 - 3 = 23 - 3, which simplifies to 5x = 20. Next, divide both sides by 5: 5x / 5 = 20 / 5, resulting in x = 4.
