Example Question #661 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
What is 3.4 rounded to the nearest whole number?
A whole number is one in which the one's place is the smallest unit. Therefore, in a whole number, there is no decimal. While any number that ends in a .5 decimal or greater rounds up, anything that is smaller than .5 rounds down. Therefore, 
Example Question #662 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Brad is buying two appliances from a store: a microwave that costs $30 and a toaster that costs $25. He has two coupons: 10 percent off 1 item, and $5 off one item.
What is the most money that he can save with these coupons (in dollars)?
If Brad has 2 coupons, 10 percent off 1 item, and $5 off one item, he should use the 10 percent off coupon on the more expensive item to save more money.
Since the $30 microwave is more expensive, he should use the 10 percent off coupon on this item. This will save him $3 because 10 percent of $30 is $3.
He can then use the $5 off coupon on the $25 toaster, which saves him $5.
Therefore, the total savings is $8.

A classroom contains 30 students, and there are the same number of boys as girls. If 
If the classroom of 30 students has an equal number of boys and girls, then there are 15 girls and 15 boys.

Example Question #21 : Whole And Part
One fourth of the bananas that Beth bought are not ripe. The rest are ripe. She has 9 ripe bananas. How many bananas are there in total?
If one fourth of the bananas that Beth bought are not ripe, then three fourths are ripe. Therefore, the total number of bananas can be represented by 
First, we cross multiply:
Next, we divide by 3:
Therefore, there are a total of 12 bananas.
Example Question #664 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Amanda and Adriana each ran four laps around the track in twelve minutes. At the same rate of speed, how long would they need to run twenty-eight laps?
To solve this problem, one must first determine how long it takes to run one lap. Since it takes twelve minutes to run four laps, divide twelve by four.
It takes three minutes to run one lap.
To determine how long it will take to run twenty-eight laps, multiply the original rate of speed by the new distance.
It will take eighty-four minutes to run twenty-eight laps if each lap is run in three minutes.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Distributive Property
Which expression demonstrates the Distributive Property?
The distributive property involves multiplying each term inside of the parentheses by the term outside of the parentheses. The distributive property is:
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Distributive Property

O:
I:
L:
Now you have four terms:
Simplify:
Example Question #3 : How To Find The Distributive Property
Use the distributive property to evaluate this expression:
When you multiply it out using the distributive property, you get
