Example Question #21 : Ratio And Proportion
If Katie's computer has of its power left after being on for hours, how many hours of battery power remain?
If Katie's computer has 60% of its power left after being on for 2 hours, then that means 40% of the battery was used to power the 2 hours. X represents the total number of hours that the battery can last.
Next, we divide each side of the equation by 40. This results in:
.
Since 60% of 5 is equal to 3, the correct answer is 3.
Example Question #591 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Which fraction is the smallest?
Fractions get smaller as the numerator (top number) gets smaller, and the denominator (bottom number) gets bigger. has the smallest numerator AND the largest denominator of any of the fractions.
Example Question #592 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Convert 0.5 into a fraction.
If a number is one position to the right of the decimal, the the decimal is equal to that number divided by ten. 0.5 is equal to .

Example Question #594 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Which is the smallest fraction?
is the smallest fraction because it has the biggest denominator (which means that all of the pieces it's divided up into are the smallest out of the choices). Also, only 1 of those pieces would be shaded, so it is the smallest out of the choices.
Example Question #595 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Find the decimal equivalent of .
To convert a fraction to a decimal, the denominator of the fraction must be 100.
becomes . When the number is over one hundred, you can simply write it as a decimal, giving you 0.15.
Example Question #596 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Write as a decimal.
The fraction is 6 hundredths, therefore the decimal must have the 6 in the hundredths place, or .06.
Example Question #7 : How To Find The Decimal Equivalent Of A Fraction
What is the decimal equivalent to , rounded to two decimal points?
To convert a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.:
This number has three digits of precision, but the question stem asks for two. is less than , so rounds down to .
Example Question #597 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Which fraction is largest?
is equal to 50%, while all the other fractions are between 10% and 36%. A good rule of thumb is that the smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction's value.
Example Question #598 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Which of these numbers is equal to ?
