How the WVGSA reports it

West Virginia’s General Summative Assessment is a state assessment aligned to the West Virginia College- and Career-Readiness Standards rather than a separate national assessment framework. The math blueprint follows CCSS-style grade-band domains and clusters, but the standards are the state’s own West Virginia College- and Career-Readiness Standards.

Blueprint & weighting

WVGSA uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).

A recipe calls for $5$ cups of broth. How many tablespoons is that? ( $1$ cup $= 8$ fluid ounces and $1$ fluid ounce $= 2$ tablespoons)

Convert cups to fluid ounces, then fluid ounces to tablespoons: $5 \text{ cups} \times \dfrac{8 \text{ fl oz}}{1 \text{ cup}} \times \dfrac{2 \text{ tbsp}}{1 \text{ fl oz}} = 80 \text{ tbsp}$ .
