Example Question #1 : How To Use A Venn Diagram
The Venn diagram shown above has three categories that represent information about the Wildcats varsity baseball team.
Category represents the number of players on the team that are left-handed.
Category represents the numebr of players on the team that are pitchers.
And, the overlapping portion of the Venn diagram represents the number of players that are left-handed pitchers.
Given that and that there are players in the overlapping region of the diagram.
What fraction of the players are only left-handed?
Since, there are left-handed players total and left-handed pitchers there must be players that are left-handed but do not pitch, because .
To find what fraction this represents we need to do:
Example Question #52 : Data Analysis
In the above Venn diagram category represents the number of Kevin's friends that play the flute, while category represents the number of Kevin's friends that play the bass.
If of Kevin's friends only play the flute and of his friends only play the bass, then what fraction of Kevin's friends play both instruments?
To find the fraction of Kevin's friends that play both the bass and the flute, consider that the fraction represents all of Kevin's friends in this senario.
Thus, the solution can be found by adding those that only play flute with those that only play bass and subtracting that final answer from the fraqction that represents all of Kevin's friends:
Example Question #1661 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
In the above Venn diagram category represents the number of Kevin's friends that play the flute, while category represents the number of Kevin's friends that play the bass.
If of Kevin's friends only play the flute and of his friends only play the bass, then what percentage of Kevin's friends only only play the bass?
of Kevin's friends only play the bass.
Thus, to find the fractional equivalent we need to multiply the fraction by 100.
The solution becomes:
Example Question #1662 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
The Venn diagram above represents the results from a recent survey given to middle school students. Category represents the amount of students that only like pizza. Category represents the amount of students that only chicken nuggets.
What percentage of students only like pizza?
Since Category represents the amount of students that only like pizza--and shows an amount of percent in the Venn diagram, no calculations need to be performed.
Our answer is .
Example Question #1663 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Which of the following shapes is NOT a quadrilateral?
Triangle
Square
Rectangle
Kite
Rhombus
Triangle
A quadrilateral is any two-dimensional shape with sides. The only shape listed that does not have sides is a triangle.
Example Question #1664 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
What is the main difference between a square and a rectangle?
The sum of their angles
Their color
Their side lengths
The number of sides they each have
Their angle measurments
Their side lengths
The only difference between a rectangle and a square is their side lengths. A square has to have equal side lengths, but the opposite side lengths of a rectangle only have to be equal.
Example Question #1963 : Common Core Math: Grade 5
What two shapes can a square be classified as?
Rectangle and Triangle
Trapezoid and Triangle
Trapezoid and Rhombus
Rhombus and Triangle
Rectangle and Rhombus
Rectangle and Rhombus
A square can also be a rectangle and a rhombus because a rectangle has to have at least sets of equal side lengths and a rhombus has to have equal side lengths, like a square, and at least sets of equal angles.
Example Question #1665 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
What is the main difference between a triangle and a rectangle?
The number of sides
The area
The volume
The length of the sides
The color
The number of sides
Out of the choices given, the only characteristic used to describe shapes is the number of sides. A triangle has sides and a rectangle has sides.
Example Question #1666 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Which two shapes have to have right angles?
Square and Rectangle
Rectangle and Rhombus
Rectangle and Parallelogram
Square and Rhombus
Square and Parallelogram
Square and Rectangle
By definition, the only two quadrilaterals that have to have right angles, are the square and the rectangle.
Example Question #1667 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Which of the shapes is NOT a quadrilateral?
Rhombus
Hexagon
Rectangle
Square
Trapezoid
Hexagon
A quadrilateral is a sided shape. The only shape listed that does not have sides is a hexagon, which has sides.
