Example Question #192 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Liam is making cookies with a recipe that calls for 1 egg and will make 12 cookies. However, he wants to make 36 cookies. How many eggs will he need?
2 eggs
12 eggs
1 egg
3 eggs
3 eggs
Given that Liam wants to make 36 cookies, which is 3 times 12 cookies, he will also need 3 times as many eggs. 3 times 1 is equal to 3. Therefore, he will need 3 eggs.

Example Question #32 : Operations
Lisa is in a soccer league in which there are 2 sub-groups. Each sub-group has 5 teams, and each team has 6 players. How many players are in the league?
If there are 2 sub-groups in a league and each sub-group has 5 teams, and each team has 6 players, then the total number of players in the league can be found by multiplying the sub-groups by the teams by the players.
This gives us:
Example Question #194 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
What is the value of 
The first step in solving the equation is to simplify the right side. You can use either the distributive property or order of operations:
Divide both sides by 4.
The ;eft side will cancel and the right side will simplify.
Example Question #193 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Every candy packet has 5 pieces. Mary buys 4 candy packets. How many pieces of candy does Mary now have?
None of these
20 pieces
25 pieces
5 pieces
15 pieces
20 pieces
If every candy packet has 5 pieces and Mary buys 4 candy packets, the total number of pieces can be calculated by multiplying 5 by 4.
The product would be 20, which is the correct answer.
Example Question #2 : Multiplication And Division
Beck has 5 pairs of the same style of shoe, called the "button up." Each shoe has 6 buttons. How many buttons are there on Becky's "button up" shoe collection?
If Beck has 5 pairs of shoes, that means he has 10 shoes because there are 2 shoes in a pair.
Since each shoe has 6 buttons, that means that there are 60 buttons in the collection.
Example Question #31 : Operations
Annie's brother owes her $5. However, to her annoyance, he chooses to pay her back in nickels. How many nickels does Annie's brother give her?
To solve, we need to know how many nickels are in one dollar.
So, we know there must be 20 nickels per dollar.
If Annie's brother is paying her $5.00, then we need to multiply the number of nickels in one dollar by five.
He will pay her in 100 nickels.
Example Question #202 : Numbers And Operations
Maria had 10 dogs and gave each dog two scoops of dog food. Each scoop of dog food contained 9 pieces. How many pieces of dog food did Maria serve?
Given that Maria has 10 dogs and that she served each dog 2 scoops of dog food, she served 20 total scoops of dog food.
If each scoop has 9 pieces, then to determine the total number of pieces, you would multiply 20 by 9.
She served 180 total pieces of dog food.
Example Question #33 : How To Multiply
Simplify the expression:
None of these
To solve this question, you will need to implement order of operations.
Start by solving for the terms in parenthesis:
Multiply the terms.
Finally, add.
Example Question #32 : Operations
Benny has 5 shirts, and each shirt has 7 buttons, except one shirt, which is missing a button. How many buttons are on Benny's shirts?
To find the total number of buttons, multiply the number of shirts by the number of button per shirt:
Since one shirt is missing a button, we will need ot subtract one to get the final answer.
