State Test Practice Mathematics 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the value of 3² + 4²?
- 25 (Correct answer)
- 49
- 14
- 12
Correct answer: 25
3² = 9 and 4² = 16, so 9 + 16 = 25.
Question 2: A rectangle has a length of 8 cm and a width of 5 cm. What is its area?
- 26 cm²
- 40 cm² (Correct answer)
- 13 cm²
- 80 cm²
Correct answer: 40 cm²
Area of a rectangle = length × width = 8 × 5 = 40 cm².
Question 3: Which of the following fractions is equivalent to 3/4?
- 6/10
- 9/12 (Correct answer)
- 4/5
- 2/3
Correct answer: 9/12
Multiplying both numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 3 gives 9/12, which is equivalent.
Question 4: Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 13
- x = 4 (Correct answer)
- x = 9
- x = 3
- x = 6
Correct answer: x = 4
Subtract 5 from both sides to get 2x = 8, then divide by 2 to get x = 4.
Question 5: What is 15% of 200?
- 25
- 30 (Correct answer)
- 35
- 20
Correct answer: 30
15% of 200 = 0.15 × 200 = 30.

- 1/2
- 1/5
