FSA Practice Test (4th Grade: Math)

Question 1

The height of a structure is 36 feet. In yards, what is the height of the structure?

Accepted Answer

12 yard

Answer

To convert feet to yards, you need to know that there are 3 feet in 1 yard. Therefore, to find the height in yards, you divide the number of feet by 3. 36 feet divided by 3 equals 12 yards.

Question 2

Joben's pencil measures 12/100 of a meter. What is the decimal equivalent of Joben's pencil length in meters?

Accepted Answer

0.12

Answer

The fraction 12/100 means 12 parts out of 100. In decimal form, this is represented by placing the numerator (12) after the decimal point, with two decimal places because the denominator is 100. Thus, 12/100 is equivalent to 0.12.

Question 3

23 cats must be placed in cat cages at a pet store. Each cat cage can accommodate four cats.
What is the least number of cages required by the pet business to accommodate all of the cats?

Accepted Answer

6

Answer

To find the least number of cages, divide the total number of cats by the capacity of each cage: 23 cats ÷ 4 cats/cage = 5 with a remainder of 3. Since the remaining 3 cats also need a cage, you must round up to the next whole number. Therefore, 6 cages are needed to accommodate all 23 cats.

Question 4

“42 is 6 times as many as 7” is represented by which equation?

Accepted Answer

42 = 6 x 7

Answer

The phrase 'is' translates to an equals sign (=), and 'times as many as' translates to multiplication (x). So, '42 is 6 times as many as 7' directly translates to the equation 42 = 6 x 7.

Question 5

Susan is seven times old as Lolong. Lolong is a three-year-old boy. Susan's age is represented by which equation?

Accepted Answer

7 x 3 = 21

Answer

The problem states that Susan is 'seven times old as Lolong' and Lolong is 'three-year-old.' The phrase 'seven times old as' indicates multiplication. To find Susan's age, you multiply Lolong's age (3) by 7, which gives 7 x 3 = 21.
