At  the  Algebra I  Level
Diagnostic Test Problems

* Tevin's heart beats 68 times a minute.  At this rate how many times does his
heart beat in half an hour?
[A] 2040            [B] 1360            [C] 3400            [D] 4080

** The area
A of a trapezoid is given by A = 1/2 h(a + b), where h is the height
and
a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides.  If h = 9, a = 6, and b = 10,
then
A = ???
[A] 16                [B] 72/2              [C] 72                [D] 144    
Support Package Problems

* Choa shoots 13 baskets in one minute.  At this rate how many can he shoot in
an hour?

* Nathan lays 5 square feet of tile a minute.  How many square feet can he lay in
three fourths of an hour?

** Given that
a = 4, b = 7, and h = 3, find the area A of a trapezoid.  Remember:  
A = 1/2 h(a + b), where h is the height and a and b are the lengths of the parallel
sides.

** If
b = 8, a = 3, and h = 4, find the area A of a trapezoid.  The area of a
trapezoid is given by
A = 1/2 h(a + b), where h is the height and a and b are the
lengths of the parallel sides.
Shown below are 2 of the 45 multiple-choice problems from the Skills
Readiness
Diagnostic Test for Algebra I.  For each of those problems, two
problems from the
Readiness Support Package for Algebra I are given.  
There are actually 3
support problems for each test problem.  Support
problems are not multiple-choice, but an
Answer Key is provided.
