Example Question #41 : How To Divide
What is the value of the expression below?
In order to solve , the second fraction must be inverted and multiplied by the first fraction. This gives us:
The numerators are multiplied by one another, as are the denominators.
This can be simplified to , which is the correct answer.
Example Question #42 : How To Divide
Which of the following is the best estimate of the expression below?
The expression can be rewritten as:
When rounded to the nearest ones place, this gives us:
, which is equal to .
(The decimal equivalent of is , while the decimal equivalent of is . Thus, is in fact the closest estimate of the expression amongst the given answer choices.
Example Question #43 : How To Divide
Joe is half the age of his brother Tom, who is eight years old. In three years, what will be the value of Joe's age divided by Tom's age?
If Joe is half the age of Tom and Tom is years old, then Joe is years old. In years, Joe will be years old and Tom will be years old.
Therefore, in years, Joe's age divided by Tom's age will be .
Example Question #44 : How To Divide
If apples cost per pound, how many pounds would buy?
If apples cost per pound, then the number of pounds that could buy would be equal to . This is equal to .
(An easy way to solve this is to double the numbers, resulting in .)
Example Question #291 : Numbers And Operations
Beth lives twelve miles away from Claire. They meet at a point between them, with Beth driving one-third of the distance, and Claire driving two-thirds of the distance. How many miles did Claire drive?
miles
miles
miles
miles
miles
Given that Claire drove two-thirds of the distance between her and Beth, she drove miles because .
.
Therefore, is the correct answer.
Example Question #46 : How To Divide
If Henry ran miles in minutes and seconds, how long (on average) did it take him to run each mile?
minutes and seconds
minutes
minutes and seconds
minutes, seconds.
minutes and seconds
If Henry ran miles in minutes and seconds, we can find how long each mile took him to run by dividing his time by . and .
Therefore, the answer is that each mile took Henry (on average) minutes and seconds to run.
Example Question #291 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
How many prime numbers are there between 14 and 30?
The prime numbers between 14 and 30 are 17, 19, 23, and 29.
Thus, there are 4 prime numbers.
Example Question #292 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Kellie is a maltipoo, meaning he is half poodle, half maltese. Kellie then has a litter with Frankie, who is half chihuahua, half pug. What percentage maltese will the puppies be?
75 percent
50 percent
0 percent
25 percent
25 percent
Because Kellie is half maltese, if she has puppies, then those puppies will be half of the breed mixture that she is. If she is half maltese, she is 50 percent maltese. Half of 50 percent is 25 percent. Therfore, 25 percent is the correct answer.
Example Question #294 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Evaluate:
To correctly evaluate this problem, first find the product of . Then divide that product by a divisor of
The solution is:
Example Question #50 : How To Divide
Simplify:
To simplify first reduce the fraction to an equivalent improper fraction with small numbers. Then convert to a mixed number:
Note:
Alternatively you could reduce the original fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
