Example Question #4 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

What is four-sevenths of 490?

Possible Answers:

270

220

280

300

240

Correct answer:

280

Explanation:

Multiply the fraction $\frac{4}{7}$ by 490, putting 490 over 1 and cross-cancelling:

$\frac{4}{7} \times 490 = \frac{4}{7} \times \frac{490}{1} = \frac{4}{1} \times \frac{70}{1} = \frac{280}{1}= 280$

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

What is nine-thirteenths of 234?

Possible Answers:

144

312

162

338

126

Correct answer:

162

Explanation:

Multiply $\frac{9}{13}$ by 234, rewriting and cross-cancelling:

$\frac{9}{13} \times 234 = \frac{9}{13} \times \frac{234 }{1} = \frac{9}{1} \times \frac{18 }{1}= \frac{162 }{1}= 162$

Example Question #33 : Whole And Part

A pizza contains 12 slices. Becky eats 1/4 of the pizza. How many slices does she eat?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Becky eats 1/4 of a pizza, which contains 12 pieces. You can find the total number that she eats by multiplying the fraction by the whole:

$=\frac{1}{4}\times12=\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{12}{1}=\frac{12}{4}=3$

Example Question #121 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement

A total of $\small 35$ students were asked which one of three sports-- basketball, volleyball, or tennis-- they preferred. If $\small 17$ students said basketball and $\small 11$ said volleyball, how many students said they prefer tennis?

Possible Answers:

$\small 12$

$\small 9$

$\small 7$

$\small 5$

Correct answer:

$\small 7$

Explanation:

To find out how many students prefer tennis, one should add the number of the students who prefer basketball to the number of students who prefer volleyball.

$\small 17 + 11 = 28$

The students who are not included among these $\small 28$ are the ones who prefer tennis. To find this number one should subtract $\small 28$ from the original group of $\small 35$ students.

$\small 35 - 28 = 7$

Therefore, $\small 7$ students prefer tennis.

Example Question #122 : Numbers And Operations

James ate 1/3 of a 12-slice pizza. How many slices of pizza did he eat?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{3} \times 12=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{12}{1}=\frac{1\times12}{3\times1}=\frac{12}{3}=4$

Example Question #121 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement

Which of the following is not a multiple of 8?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A multiple is a number that can be divided by another number (in this case 8) without a remainder. All of the answer choices can be divided by 8 without a remainder exept for the number 20 (which leaves a remainder of 4); therefore, 20 is not a multiple of 8.

$8\times1=8$

$8\times2=16$

$8\times3=24$

$8\times5=40$

Example Question #122 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement

Which of the following is not a factor of 24?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Factors are numbers that can be multiplied together to create another number. 3, 4, 8, and 12 are all factors of 24.

$3\times8=24$

$4\times6=24$

$12\times2=24$

There is no number that multiply by 7 to result in 24; therefore, 7 is not a factor of 24.

Example Question #11 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

Brett and Bob love to ski. They planned on a 5 day ski trip together, but Brett decided to stay 40% longer than they had originally planned. How many extra days did Brett stay?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If Bob and Brett planned a 5 day ski trip, then 2 days would make the trip 40 percent longer.

This is because 2 extra days out of 5 is equal to $\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{10}=.4$ . The percent equivalent of .4 is 40 percent. Therefore, 2 is the correct answer.

If there are 15 cookies in a tin, and Rebecca gives 5 of the cookies to her mother and one fifth of the remaining cookies to her father, how many cookies remain?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If there are 15 cookies in a tin, and Rebecca gives 5 of the cookies to her mother, then 10 cookies remain. She gives one fifth of them, or 2 cookies, to her father.

Therefore, 8 cookies remain.

Example Question #13 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

If Rebecca has watched 6 and a half minutes of a video that is one hour and five minutes long, what percentage of the video has she watched?

Possible Answers:

10.5

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Rebecca has watched 6 and a half minutes of a video that is one hour and five minutes long, which can also be written as 6.5 minutes of a video that is 65 minutes long.

Given that $\frac{6.5}{65}=\frac{1}{10}$ , Rebecca has watched 10% of the video.
