Example Question #191 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Find the product. Round to the nearest tenths place.
Multiply vertically.
After finding the product, don't forget to move the decimal in FOUR places because each number has 2 decimal places .
The product is .
Then, round to the nearest tenths place .

What is a reasonable estimate for
First, estimate each number. 2.3 rounds to about 2, while 3.1 rounds to about 3. Then, mulitply 2 and 3.
Example Question #192 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
How many millimeters are in 6 meters?
There are 1,000 mm in each meter. Therefore, you must multiply 6 by 1,000 to get 6,000 millimeters.
Example Question #194 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
A wooden board is feet long. What is the length of the board in inches?
There are inches in a foot. If the board is feet long, you would multiply this length by the conversion to get the number of inches.
To simplify the multiplication, you can break up the decimal:
is the correct answer.
Example Question #28 : How To Multiply
What is the square root of 144?
The square root operation is the inverse of a number raised to the second power. In other words, we are looking for the number that, when squared, equals 144.
When the number 12 is multiplied by itself, the product is 144.
Therefore, 12 is the correct answer.
Example Question #192 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Liam is making cookies with a recipe that calls for 1 egg and will make 12 cookies. However, he wants to make 36 cookies. How many eggs will he need?
2 eggs
12 eggs
1 egg
3 eggs
3 eggs
Given that Liam wants to make 36 cookies, which is 3 times 12 cookies, he will also need 3 times as many eggs. 3 times 1 is equal to 3. Therefore, he will need 3 eggs.
Example Question #197 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
What should be the value of to complete this set?
None of these
The only number that could lend a pattern to this set is 9. When 9 is plugged in as , it becomes clear that each sequential number increases by threefold. 9 is three times the value of 3, and 27 is three times the value of 9. Therefore, 9 is the correct answer.
Example Question #32 : Operations
Lisa is in a soccer league in which there are 2 sub-groups. Each sub-group has 5 teams, and each team has 6 players. How many players are in the league?
If there are 2 sub-groups in a league and each sub-group has 5 teams, and each team has 6 players, then the total number of players in the league can be found by multiplying the sub-groups by the teams by the players.
This gives us:
Example Question #194 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
What is the value of in this equation?
The first step in solving the equation is to simplify the right side. You can use either the distributive property or order of operations:
Divide both sides by 4.
The ;eft side will cancel and the right side will simplify.
Example Question #193 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Every candy packet has 5 pieces. Mary buys 4 candy packets. How many pieces of candy does Mary now have?
None of these
5 pieces
15 pieces
20 pieces
25 pieces
20 pieces
If every candy packet has 5 pieces and Mary buys 4 candy packets, the total number of pieces can be calculated by multiplying 5 by 4.
The product would be 20, which is the correct answer.
