Example Questions
Example Question #101 : Operations
Gerry is splitting a 16 ounce hamburger between himself and 3 friends. If he divides the hamburger equally, how many ounces does each friend get?
7 ounces
5.5 ounces
4 ounces
6 ounces
8 ounces
4 ounces
If Gerry is sharing the hamburger with 3 friends, that means that there are 4 people total who are sharing the 16 ounce hamburger. To determine how many ounces each person would get, 16 should be divided by 4.
Therefore, 4 ounces is the correct answer.
Example Question #102 : Operations
3 friends are sharing 12 cookies equally between them. How many cookies does each person get?
None of these
Given that there are 12 cookies and 3 friends, the number of cookies that each friend can have is the result of 12 divided by 3.
Each person would get 4 cookies.
Example Question #103 : Operations
Annette bought a television of $1,000, but can't afford to pay for it all at once. The most that she can pay each month is $50. How many months will it take her to pay off the television?
If the most that Annette can pay for her $1,000 television each month is $50, then it will take her 20 months to pay off her television because $1,000 divided by $50 is 20.
Example Question #104 : Operations
What is the remainder when 2411 is divided by 8?
No remainder
Use long division to solve.
8 goes into 24 three times with no remainder, so the first digit of the answer is 3.
8 goes into 1 zero times, so the next digit is zero. The 1 carries to amke the next division 8 into 11.
Finally, 8 goes into 11 once with a remainder of 3. This makes the last digit of the answer 1, with a remainder of 3.
Final answer:
The final remainder is 3.
Example Question #267 : Numbers And Operations
Which of the following is divisible by 7 without a remainder?
The number 56 is the only answer choice divisble by 7 without a remainder.
All of the other answer options result in non-zero remainders.
Example Question #105 : Operations
Which number is divisble by 8 with a remainder of 2?
The number 88 is divisble by 8 with no remainder. (8 times 11 is 88.) Therefore, a number that is divisble by 8 with a remainder of 2 would be equal to 88 plus 2. This gives us 90, the correct answer.
Example Question #106 : Operations
Which of the following numbers is divisble by 3 without a remainder, but not by 6?
21 is divisibly by 3 without a remainder (3 times 7 is 21). However, it is not divisible by 6, as there will be a remainder. (21 divided by 6 is 3, remainder 3.)
Therefore, 21 is the correct answer.
Example Question #107 : Operations
Which number is divisible by 16 with a remainder of 5?
The number 32 is divisble by 16 with no remainder. (16 times 2 is 32.) Therefore, a number that is divisble by 16 with a remainder of 5 would be equal to 32 plus 5. This gives us 37, the correct answer.
Example Question #108 : Operations
What is the value of the expression below?
The first step to solve this equation is the solve for the parentheses.
The next step is to carry out the division operation. This results in:
Therefore, 12 is the correct answer.
Example Question #109 : Operations
What is the quotient of 
The term "quotient" indicates division.
