Example Question #101 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning

The grocery store has 34 boxes of cookies on the shelf.  Each box contains 20 cookies.  Which expression shows how many total cookies are on the shelf?

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 34+20

\dpi{100} 34\div 20

\dpi{100} 34-20

\dpi{100} 34\times 20

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 34\times 20

Explanation:

There are 20 cookies in each box, and there are 34 boxes.  We need to multiply the number of cookies in each box by the number of boxes.

\dpi{100} 34\times 20=680\ cookies

Example Question #102 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning

If Lisa has \dpi{100} b boxes of pens, and each box contains 12 pens, which expression would tell us how many pens that Lisa has?

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} b-12

\dpi{100} b\div 12

\dpi{100} b\times 12

\dpi{100} b+12

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} b\times 12

Explanation:

Every box of pens represents 12 total pens.  So if we have 3 boxes, we have\dpi{100} \dpi{100} 12+12+12=36\ pens

which is the same as saying \dpi{100} 3\times 12=36\ pens.

Here, since we only know that Lisa has \dpi{100} b boxes of pens, so we would multiply that by the 12 pens in each box.
