Example Question #31 : How To Divide
Lisa has 12 pieces of candy. She gives one third of the candy to her sister and one third to her brother. How many pieces of candy does she have left?
If Lisa has 12 pieces of candy, one third of this amount is 4 pieces.
Since she gives one third of the candy to her sister, her sister must receive 4 pieces. Similarly, her brother will receive four pieces.
We can find the remining amount by subtracting the amount Lisa gives to her siblings from the original number of pieces.
Lisa has four pieces left.
Example Question #281 : Numbers And Operations
Which of the following is not a prime number?
All of these are prime numbers
A prime number is divisible only by itself and the number 1. In other words, a prime number will only have two factors (itself and 1).
3, 7, and 11 are prime numbers; they cannot be divided by numbers other than themselves and 1.
9, however, can be divided by 3. This gives it more than two factors, and means it cannot be prime.

Which of the following is divisible by 8 but not by 12?
The number 32 is divisible by 8 because 4 times 8 is 32. However, 32 divided by 12 equals 2, remainder of 8. Therefore, 32 is divisible by 8, but not by 12, and is the correct answer.
Example Question #112 : Operations
Betty makes 18 ounces of fruit salad. She puts 2 ounces of fruit salad into smaller containers and then gives them out a club meeting. However, there are only 3 members who attend the meeting. The 3 members take equal numbers of the smaller fruit salads. How many small fruit salads does each member take?
If Betty makes 18 ounces of fruit salad and puts 2 ounces of fruit salad into smaller containers, there will be 
Given that the 3 members each take equal numbers of the small fruit salads, each member will get 
Example Question #284 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Robert baked 12 cookies for his family to share after dinner. There are 4 members of his family, so everyone should be able to have the same number of cookies. However, his younger brother brought along a friend unexpectedly.
Robert gave 3 cookies to his brother and 3 cookies to his friend. He then equally shared what remained with his 2 parents. How many cookies did Robert get?
After Robert gives 3 cookies to his brother and 3 cookies to his brother's friend, 
If Robert shares the remaining cookies equally with his 2 parents, then Robert and each parent will get 
Example Question #121 : Operations
If Ross has 10 pieces of candy to share among himself and his two friends, how many pieces will be left over if they each get the same number of pieces?
If Ross and his two friends share 10 pieces of candy, they can each have 3 pieces. That leaves one piece that cannot be divided. Therefore, one is the correct answer.
Example Question #122 : Operations
Beth rides her bike from her house to the store, which is five miles away. It takes her 20 minutes to get there, including five minutes of waiting for a green light.
Excluding the time that she spends waiting, how many minutes does it take her to ride one mile?
If it takes Beth 20 minutes to get to the store, but spends five minutes waiting for a stop light to change, she really spends 15 minutes biking to the store.
She therefore takes 15 minutes to travel five miles, or three minutes per mile.
