Grade 6 Math Worksheet
Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.
Table. l (liters): 8, 16, 24. m (minutes): 1, 2, 3. Tala's tub gets 8 more liters each minute. What equation for l fits?
Table. p (pages): 35, 70, 105. m (minutes): 5, 10, 15. Bo's printer prints at a steady rate. What equation for p fits?
Table. c (crayons): 120, 240, 360. b (boxes): 5, 10, 15. Every box Luz opens has the same number of crayons. What is c when b is 8?
Table. t (trays): 1, 2, 3. m (mangoes): 12, 24, 36. Every tray Milo packs holds the same number of mangoes. What is m when t is 6?
Table. m (minutes): 1, 2, 3. l (liters): 8, 16, 24. Noah's circle fills a tub at a steady rate. The table shows minutes m and liters l. Which is the independent variable?
- l (liters)
- m (minutes)
- Both: neither one depends on the other
Table. m (mangoes): 12, 24, 36. t (trays): 1, 2, 3. Every tray Pia packs holds the same number of mangoes. The table shows mangoes m and trays t. Which is the dependent variable?
- Both: neither one depends on the other
- m (mangoes)
- t (trays)
Table. w (words): 40, 80, 120. m (minutes): 1, 2, 3. Ren types at a steady speed, and the words are graphed from the table. Which variable goes on the horizontal axis?
- w (words), the dependent variable
- m (minutes), the independent variable
- Either one: it does not matter
Ari's reading is graphed. Hours h are on the horizontal axis and pages p are on the vertical axis. What does the plotted point say?
- p = 120 for each hour
- h = 120 and p = 4
- h = 4 and p = 120
Table. z (Zee's buttons): 2, 3, 4. l (Luz's buttons): 8, 9, 10. Luz and Zee collect buttons. Luz always has the same number more than Zee. What equation for l fits?
Table. b (Bo's age in years): 3, 4, 5. a (Ari's age in years): 12, 13, 14. Ari's and Bo's ages are shown in the table. What equation for a fits?
