Example Question #702 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Max and Sarah both drove at the same speed. It took Max 36 minutes to drive 3 miles. How many minutes did it take for Sarah to drive 6 miles?
Since it took Max 36 minutes to drive 3 miles, it must take double the amount of time to drive 6 miles since they're both driving at the same speed. Thus, 72 is the correct answer.
Example Question #23 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation
Martin's family bought him 3 presents for his birthday. The mean cost of a present was $25. If the first present cost $20 and the second present cost $30, how much did the third present cost (in dollars)?
The mean of a set is equal to the sum of the numbers divided by the number of items in the set.
Set up and equation and solve for the missing present:
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
Subtract 50 from both sides:
