SBAC Grade 4 Math Practice Test 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Jasper collects 1,082 cans of food. He gives a certain number of cans to the first local charity he finds. He now has 602 cans of food. How many cans of food did he give to the first local charity?
- 430
- 480 (Correct answer)
- 682
- 1,684
Correct answer: 480
To find out how many cans Jasper gave away, subtract the number of cans he has left from the initial number of cans he collected. Starting with 1,082 cans and ending with 602 cans, the difference is 1,082 - 602 = 480 cans.
Question 2: Which of the following number sentences is represented by the array shown below?<br><br>X X X X X X <br><br>X X X X X X <br><br>X X X X X X <br><br>X X X X X X
- 4+6=10
- 4×6=24 (Correct answer)
- 24-6=18
- 24÷3=8
Correct answer: 4×6=24
The array (not provided, but implied) shows a rectangular arrangement of items. If it has 4 rows and 6 columns, then the total number of items is found by multiplying the number of rows by the number of columns. This directly represents the multiplication sentence 4 × 6 = 24.
Question 3: Kevin approved 13 trees out of every group of trees he surveyed. He surveyed 15 groups of trees. How many trees did he approve?
- 155
- 165
- 195 (Correct answer)
- 205
Correct answer: 195
To find the total number of trees Kevin approved, multiply the number of trees he approved per group by the total number of groups he surveyed. Therefore, 13 trees/group multiplied by 15 groups equals 195 trees.
Question 4: Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between the values of x and y, as shown in the table below?
- The value of x is 6 less than the value of y
- The value of y is 4 times the value of x (Correct answer)
- The value of y is 4 more than the value of x
- The value of x is 1 less than the value of y
Correct answer: The value of y is 4 times the value of x
To determine the relationship between x and y (from the missing table), observe how the y-values relate to their corresponding x-values. If each y-value is consistently four times its x-value (e.g., y=4 when x=1, y=8 when x=2), then the relationship is 'The value of y is 4 times the value of x'.
Question 5: If the measure of angle BAC is 38° and the measure of angle DAE is 49°, then what is the measure of angle CAD?
- 95°
- 90°
- 93° (Correct answer)
- 83°
Correct answer: 93°
Assuming angles BAC, CAD, and DAE are adjacent angles that form a straight line, their measures would sum to 180°. Given ∠BAC = 38° and ∠DAE = 49°, we can find ∠CAD by subtracting these from 180°: 180° - 38° - 49° = 93°.
