What the test measures

Ratios and Proportional Relationships skills

  1. Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems

  2. Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems

Standards basis

Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) / PARCC Model Content Frameworks — national

How the PARCC reports it

PARCC was a multistate assessment system built around the Common Core-era PARCC mathematics model content frameworks rather than a separate proprietary standards set. Its math structure is organized by grade/course and aligned to CCSS-M content categories and model content frameworks.

At a riding stable, a pony is measured at 1515 hands tall. How many inches tall is the pony? (11 hand =4= 4 inches)

Use a conversion factor with inches in the numerator so hands cancel: 15 hands×4 in1 hand=60 in15 \text{ hands} \times \dfrac{4 \text{ in}}{1 \text{ hand}} = 60 \text{ in}.

An herbicide spray uses concentrate and water in a ratio of 66 to 2424. How many cups of concentrate should be added to 22 quarts of water to make the spray in this ratio? (44 cups == 11 quart, 44 quarts == 11 gallon.)

Two quarts of water is 2×4=82 \times 4 = 8 cups. With a 66 to 2424 ratio, 624=x8\dfrac{6}{24} = \dfrac{x}{8}, so 24x=4824x = 48 and x=2x = 2 cups of concentrate.

A $100\text{\char36}100 bicycle is on sale for 25%25\% off. What is the sale price?

Discount: 25100×$100=$25.\dfrac{25}{100} \times \text{\char36}100 = \text{\char36}25\textsf{.} Sale price: $100−$25=$75.\text{\char36}100 - \text{\char36}25 = \text{\char36}75\textsf{.}

A kitchen prepares 500500 jars of jam. Workers label 8%8\% of the jars before the first break. How many jars are labeled before the first break?

Convert 8%8\% to a decimal and multiply: 0.08×500=400.08 \times 500 = 40 jars.
