Example Question #121 : Operations
If Ross has 10 pieces of candy to share among himself and his two friends, how many pieces will be left over if they each get the same number of pieces?
If Ross and his two friends share 10 pieces of candy, they can each have 3 pieces. That leaves one piece that cannot be divided. Therefore, one is the correct answer.
Example Question #122 : Operations
Beth rides her bike from her house to the store, which is five miles away. It takes her 20 minutes to get there, including five minutes of waiting for a green light.
Excluding the time that she spends waiting, how many minutes does it take her to ride one mile?
If it takes Beth 20 minutes to get to the store, but spends five minutes waiting for a stop light to change, she really spends 15 minutes biking to the store.
She therefore takes 15 minutes to travel five miles, or three minutes per mile.

Example Question #290 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
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.
By dividing the numerator and denominator each by , the fraction can be simplified to , which is the correct answer.
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 .)
