✍️ Sample ITBS Questions & Answers

1. A recipe requires 2½ cups of flour. If you want to make half the recipe, how much flour do you need?

✓ 1¼ cups

Half of 2½ = 2.5 ÷ 2 = 1.25 = 1¼ cups.

2. Simplify: (2³ × 2⁴) ÷ 2²

✓ 2⁵

2³ × 2⁴ = 2⁷; then 2⁷ ÷ 2² = 2⁵.

3. Dr. Evans lives at 123 Main Street, Anytown, USA. When writing his title and address, which part contains a capitalization error?

✓ 123 Main street

The names of specific streets are proper nouns and should be fully capitalized. Therefore, 'Main Street' should be capitalized, not 'Main street'. Titles like 'Dr.', names of people, cities, and countries are all capitalized correctly.

4. If a rectangular room is 9 feet wide and 12 feet long, what is the perimeter of the room?

✓ 48 feet

Perimeter = 2 × (9 + 12) = 2 × 21 = 42 feet.

5. Which layer of the Earth is the outermost solid layer we live on?

✓ Crust

The crust is the thin, outermost solid layer of the Earth where we live.

6. On a number line, which fraction is closest to 1 whole?

✓ 7/8

7/8 is closest to 1 because it is only 1/8 away from 1 whole.
