Example Question #351 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Add. Show as a mixed fraction.
When adding fractions, you must first make sure that the denominators are equal. If they are not equal, then you must make them equal by finding the LCD (lowest common denominator). In this case the LCD is 15. Now set up the new equation:
Then add the numerators to get:

Example Question #6 : Addition And Subtraction With Money
Approximately how much will Sophie need to buy a shirt at $12.99, a loaf of bread at $3.99, and a television at $43.76?
$80
$60
$100
$61
$61
Since we're looking for an approximate value, we need to round our numbers up. Adding the three items gives a total of $60.74, so at least $61 is needed - thus $61 is the correct answer.
Example Question #13 : Money And Time
Laura is going bowling with her friends this weekend and she is using some of the money that she has saved up from allowance and her birthday. She will have to pay a flat fee of $8 to rent her shoes and $10.50 per game she bowls. If she has planned to bowl 4 games and she is only taking $50 with her to the bowling alley will she have enough money? If yes, how much money will she have when she leaves the bowling alley?
Yes,
No
Yes, None.
None of the other answers.
Yes,
Yes, None.
The flat fee for the shoes will only be paid once since the shoes will be used for all four games. The cost per game will be paid each time one game finishes and a new one is started.
To calculate her cost add the fee for the shoes and the fee for each game played. That would be $8 (shoes) + $10.50 (game 1) + $10.50 (game 2) + $10.50 (game 3) + $10.50 (game 4) = $50 (total cost).
Laura had $50 with her so there was enough money and nothing left over when she left the bowling alley.

In this problem, the costs of the items can be rounded to either the nearest dollar, or the nearest ten cents.
When the new, estimated costs of the items are added, the sum is

Which of the following is a valid approximation of the problem
Round each number to the nearest whole number:
Add them together:
Therefore, 15 is a valid approximation of the problem. The exact answer is:
Example Question #9 : Addition And Subtraction With Money
George buys four items costing
Approximately how much does he pay in total?
Between 
More than
Between 
Less than
Between 
Between
First, add up all of the values:
Then, decide which of the answer choices approximates this value. Our answer is between 
Another way to solve this problem is to round the four values to their nearest whole numbers and then sum those rounded values:

First, find a common denominator. For these two fractions, it is 20. Then, change each fraction to reflect that new denominator. 
Example Question #353 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Estimate 
To estimate, you must first round the numbers given. Round 1389 to 1400. Then, round 592 to 600. Combine 1400 and 600 to get 2000.
Example Question #354 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
What is the standard form for writing five hundred twenty-two thousand twenty?
None of these
To determine the standard form for five hundred twenty-two thousand twenty, it is best to take it step by step:
- five hundred thousand =
- twenty-two thousand =
- twenty =
The final answer can be found by adding together these parts.
