Example Questions
Example Question #2 : Multiplication And Division
Beck has 5 pairs of the same style of shoe, called the "button up." Each shoe has 6 buttons. How many buttons are there on Becky's "button up" shoe collection?
If Beck has 5 pairs of shoes, that means he has 10 shoes because there are 2 shoes in a pair.
Since each shoe has 6 buttons, that means that there are 60 buttons in the collection.
Example Question #31 : Operations
Annie's brother owes her $5. However, to her annoyance, he chooses to pay her back in nickels. How many nickels does Annie's brother give her?
To solve, we need to know how many nickels are in one dollar.
So, we know there must be 20 nickels per dollar.
If Annie's brother is paying her $5.00, then we need to multiply the number of nickels in one dollar by five.
He will pay her in 100 nickels.
Example Question #202 : Numbers And Operations
Maria had 10 dogs and gave each dog two scoops of dog food. Each scoop of dog food contained 9 pieces. How many pieces of dog food did Maria serve?
Given that Maria has 10 dogs and that she served each dog 2 scoops of dog food, she served 20 total scoops of dog food.
If each scoop has 9 pieces, then to determine the total number of pieces, you would multiply 20 by 9.
She served 180 total pieces of dog food.
Example Question #33 : How To Multiply
Simplify the expression:
None of these

Multiply the terms.
Finally, add.
Example Question #201 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Benny has 5 shirts, and each shirt has 7 buttons, except one shirt, which is missing a button. How many buttons are on Benny's shirts?
To find the total number of buttons, multiply the number of shirts by the number of button per shirt:
Since one shirt is missing a button, we will need ot subtract one to get the final answer.
Example Question #202 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
What is the value of the expression below?
In order to solve for 
Thus, 24 is the correct answer.
Example Question #203 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Which of the following numbers is a multiple of 18?
A multiple is the product of the first number and another whole number. Given that 36 is the product of 18 (the first number) and 2, it is a multiple of 18. Therefore, 36 is the correct answer.
Example Question #204 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Arnold has 5 sets of paint. Each paint set contains 5 tubes of paint. How many tubes of paint does Arnold have?
Since Arnold has 5 sets of paint, and each paint set contains 5 tubes of paint, the total number of tubes of paint can be found by multiplying 5 by 5. This gives us 25, the correct answer.
Example Question #205 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
If Rebecca sells pears at her store for 50 cents each, or 3 for 1 dollar, how many pears can she buy with $4.50?
Given that 3 pears can be purchased with 1 dollar, 12 pears can be purchased with 4 dollars because 4 times 3 is 12.
Since the amount of money being used to purchase the pears is $4.50, another pear can be purchased for 50 cents.
This puts the total number of pears that can be purchased at 13.
Example Question #206 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
At dinner, four brothers eat three hot dogs each. The fifth brother eats two hot dogs. How many hot dogs do the five brothers eat in total?
If 4 brothers eat 3 hot dogs each, then they eat 12 hot dogs, because 
If the fifth brother eats two hot dogs, the total number of hot dogs eaten is
