Real-World Proportional Relationship Problems: Sample FAST Questions

Students solve real-world problems involving proportional relationships, usually across several steps. A typical item gives an SUV that averages 23.1 miles per gallon with a 17.5 gallon tank and asks how many fill-ups a 1,407 mile trip needs, which requires a rate, a division, and a rounding decision.

How the FAST tests this benchmark

The FAST presents these as multi-step word problems in equation editor and multiple choice form. The rounding decision is often the graded part: a trip that works out to 3.5 tanks needs 4 fill-ups, not 3.

Skills students need

  • Identify the constant of proportionality inside a word problem
  • Use a proportional relationship to predict an unknown value
  • Carry a multi-step proportional problem through to the final answer
  • Decide how to round a proportional answer in context
