Example Question #786 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
At the grocery store, Sarah bought 3 bags of flour that cost $2 each and a frozen pizza. Her total was $11. Which equation should be used to find the cost of the frozen pizza (p)?
Try to think of the story problem as a math equation.
3 bags of flour cost $2 each: 3 x 2 or 3(2)
One frozen pizza = p
Total = 11
The 3 bags and the frozen pizza are added together to make the total, so the correct answer is:
Example Question #787 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
The total combined weight of a dog, cat, and mouse is 12 pounds. If the dog weighs three times as much as the mouse, and the mouse half as much as the cat, how much does the mouse weigh?
5 pounds
3 pounds
4 pounds
2 pounds
2 pounds
1 mouse + 1 cat + 1 dog = 12 pounds
Since we're told how much the cat and dog weigh compared to the mouse, we can recognize:
1 mouse + 2 mice + 3 mice = 12 pounds
Add the mice together:
6 mice = 12 pounds
1 mouse = 12 6 = 2 pounds
