The test is not perfect, so in making any final placement decision also use common sense.  \nThe student should work independently without the use of a calculator. It is not necessary to time the test, but most students will finish in less than 112 hours.  \nScoring  \nThe test is divided into two sections. Section 1 includes problems 1 – 15. This is the simpler part of the test, covering material from the first half of our Pre-Algebra product. Section 2 includes problems 16 – 30. It is the more difficult part of the test, covering material from the second half of our Pre-Algebra product.  \nThe student is probably ready for Algebra 1 if he/she makes the following scores on the two sections.  \n10 or more correct on Section 1 (problems 1 – 15) and 8 or more correct on Section 2 (problems 16 – 30)  \nIf the student’s score falls below this level, the Pre-Algebra Teaching Textbook is probably abetter starting point.  \nAlgebra 1 Placement Test  \nSection 1  \n1. Convert 78 to a decimal.  \n2. The water tank had a maximum capacity of 84 gallons. If the tank was 27 full, how many gallons of water did it have?  \n3.

What fraction of the original pie did George eat?  \n4. 15 has how many 34 s in it?  \nAnswer each question below.  \n5. Write 5.6% as a decimal.  \n6. What is 45% of 175?  \n7. What percent of 52 is 12? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.  \n8. Convert 32% to a fraction. Make sure your answer is fully reduced.  \nDo each unit conversion below.  \n9. How many inches are in 35 feet?  \n10. Convert 15,840 feet into miles. (1 mile = 1,760 yards; 1 yard = 3 feet)  \n11. How many millimeters are in 4.511 meters?  \n12. Convert 140 square feet into square inches.  \nCalculate the value of each expression below.  \n13. 3(−9 + 17) 14. 5(−8) − 21 15.

Mr. Drysdale earned $906.25 in interest in one year on money that he had deposited in his local bank. If the bank paid an interest rate of 6.25%, how much money did Mr. Drysdale deposit?  \n30. There’s some number that if you subtract 15 from it first, and then multiply that total by  \n7, the result is 28.
