MAAP Mathematics 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the slope of a line that passes through points (2, 3) and (6, 11)?
- 1
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 3
- 4
Correct answer: 2
Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (11 - 3)/(6 - 2) = 8/4 = 2.
Question 2: Which of the following is a prime number?
- 51
- 57
- 61 (Correct answer)
- 63
Correct answer: 61
61 is only divisible by 1 and itself; 51 = 3×17, 57 = 3×19, and 63 = 9×7.
Question 3: A store sells a jacket for $80 after applying a 20% discount. What was the original price?
- $96
- $100 (Correct answer)
- $104
- $64
Correct answer: $100
If $80 is 80% of the original price, then original = $80 ÷ 0.80 = $100.
Question 4: What is the median of the data set: 4, 7, 9, 2, 5?
- 4
- 5 (Correct answer)
- 7
- 9
Correct answer: 5
Arranging in order: 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 — the middle (3rd) value is 5.
Question 5: Which expression represents 'five less than twice a number n'?
- 5 - 2n
- 2n - 5 (Correct answer)
- 2(n - 5)
- 5 - n/2
Correct answer: 2n - 5
'Twice a number' is 2n, and 'five less than' means subtract 5, giving 2n - 5.
Question 6: What is the volume of a rectangular prism with length 5 m, width 4 m, and height 3 m?
- 47 m³
- 60 m³ (Correct answer)
- 72 m³
- 12 m³
Correct answer: 60 m³
Volume = length × width × height = 5 × 4 × 3 = 60 m³.
