Example Question #361 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Which of the following is true about the set below?
The numbers are all divisble by 4
The numbers are all prime
None of these
The numbers are all odd
The numbers are all multiples of 4
The numbers are all odd
The numbers in the set are all odd, meaning that they are not divisble by 2.
While the numbers in the set increase by 4 sequentially, they are not divisible by 4, and therefore are not multiples of 4.
Thus, the best answer is that they are all odd.
Additionally, the numbers are not prime because 9 and 21 are both divisible by 3.
Example Question #362 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Jill is getting ready to go to school. She wakes up an hour before class starts and it takes her 15 minutes to walk to school. If class starts at 8:00, which of the following best describes when she must leave home to be at class on time?
She must leave in 40 minutes in order to leave at 7:45.
She must leave in 45 minutes in order to leave at 7:25.
She must leave in 35 minutes in order to leave at 7:45.
She must leave in 45 minutes in order to leave at 7:45.
She must leave in 45 minutes in order to leave at 7:45.
Given that Jill's class starts at 8:00 and that it takes her 15 minutes to walk there, she must leave at 7:45. Since she woke up an hour before class starts, at 7 am, this means that she must leave in 45 minutes. Therefore, the correct answer is:
She must leave in 45 minutes in order to leave at 7:45.
Example Question #363 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Samantha has 17 cookies, Robert has 6 cookies, and Julia has 13 cookies. How many total cookies do they have?
To find the total number of cookies, add each person's cookies together.
Example Question #364 : Numbers And Operations
What is the value of 
To solve, you will need to get 
The left side cancels.
Reduce the right side.
Example Question #364 : Numbers And Operations
Simplify:
To simplify, you must rearrange the expression to group like-terms together.
Like-terms can be simplified.
This results in 
Example Question #365 : Numbers And Operations
Lisa has been tutoring students every day for the past six days. The first three days, she tutored 5 students each day. The last three days she tutored 3 students each day. On average, how many students did she tutor each day?
The average consists of the sum of the number of students tutored for the 6 days, divided by 6. Thus, the average would be calculated with this equation:
This is equal to 
Example Question #366 : Numbers And Operations
30 students were given a survey and asked whether they liked the mountains or the beach. 15 students said they liked mountains only, 5 students said that they liked the beach only, and 10 students said that they liked both the mountains and the beach. What is the total number of students who liked the mountains at all?
If 15 students like both the mountains and the beach and 10 like the mountains only that means that the total numbers of students who like mountains will be the sum of these two numbers.
The sum is 25, which is the number of students who like mountains.
Example Question #367 : Numbers And Operations
Simplify the expression.
To simplify, the first step is to reorder the terms and add the like variables together.
This gives us 
Example Question #21 : How To Add
Below are the ages of the students in Mrs. Kermit's painting class. How many students are age 7 or younger?
In Mrs. Kermit's painting class, there are three 7-year-olds and two 6-year-olds.
Because 3 plus 2 equals 5, that is the correct answer. 5 total students are age 7 or younger.
Example Question #364 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
12 guests attend a buffet. The guests take either 1 or 2 desserts. At the end of the buffet, the chef sees that the guests ate 8 of the brownie desserts and 7 of the vanilla desserts. How many guests took 2 desserts?
3 guests
7 guests
8 guests
12 guests
15 guests
3 guests
Given that the guests ate 8 of the brownie desserts and 7 of the vanilla desserts, a total of 15 desserts were eaten.
This means that of the 12 guests, 3 guests must have eaten 2 desserts.
3 guests is therefore the correct answer.
