CBEST Practice Tests 01

Please note that you must follow the given formula of d = rt, (where d = distance, r = rate, and t = time) in order to arrive at the answer. The given numbers are d = 585 miles and r = 65 miles per hour and d = rt. You must solve for t. The result would be 585 = 65t →t = 9 hours.

Please note that you must look for words that express the author’s beliefs or feelings.

Please note that in order to arrive at the correct answer, you must invert the bottom fraction and multiply to get 3⁄7 × 7⁄4 = 3⁄4. It will give you the result that the ratio of the volume of alcohol to the volume of water is 3 to 4.

Please note that the phrase “in addition” serves as your clue which presents the idea of dying from blood clots.

Please note that the ratio of boys to girls is 2:1. the possible total number of students in the class must be a multiple of 2 + 1 (boys plus girls) or 3. The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and so on. The number 30 is the only one that is a multiple of 3.

Please note that all the other options are true except 3(x + y + 5z). Let the following equations serve as your guide:
1. 5x + 3y + 15z = (5x + 15z) + 3y = 5(x + 3z) + 3y
2. = 5x + (3y + 15z) = 5x + 3(y + 5z)
3. = 37 + (5x + 15z) = 37 + 5(x + 3z)

Please note that since Matthew leaves the house at 11:30 a.m., he must be going to a 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. class. There is no definite time.

Please note that the formula in finding the perimeter of a rectangle is adding the length to the width and doubling this sum. Therefore, P = 2(15 + 18).

Please note that the fastest way to calculate 51 x 6 is observing the following: First, multiply 50 x 6 (resulting in 300). Second, multiply 1 x 6 (resulting in 6). Third, add the products together (300 + 6 = 306).

Please note that because each of the 4 sports jackets may be worn with 5 different shirts, 20 combinations are possible. The 20 combinations may be worn with each of the 3 pairs of slacks for a total of 60 possible combinations. To state it simply, 5 x 4 x 3 = 60 possible combinations.
