Example Question #3 : How To Identify The Parts Of A List
Define the set
Which of the following is a subset of ?
A subset of a set , by definition, is any set that contains no elements not in . Each of the following subsets can be seen to have at least one such element, which is underlined here:
The remaining set can be seen to have only elements from :
This is the correct choice.
Example Question #4 : How To Identify The Parts Of A List
Define two sets as follows:
How many elements are in ?
is the union of sets and - the set of all elements that appear in either or . These elements are:
which is a set with twelve elements.
Example Question #71 : Sets
Use the given multiplication to find a pattern, and then solve the following:
Example Question #5 : How To Identify The Parts Of A List
Place the following numbers in order from smallest to largest:
For negative numbers, the bigger the value next to the negative sign, the smaller the number. For example, is smaller than .
Use the tenths digit (the one to the right of the decimal point) to order the numbers:
The negative numbers with a in the tenths place are smaller than the numbers with a in the tenths place.
Then, use the hundredths place to order the numbers:
is smaller than since is larger than .
is smaller than since is larger than .
Example Question #6 : How To Identify The Parts Of A List
Which of these numbers is not a prime number?
A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. 85 is immediately disqualified: any number that ends in 5 has 5 as a factor.
Example Question #7 : How To Identify The Parts Of A List
Place the following numbers in order from least to greatest:
First, use the tenths digit (the one to the right of the decimal point) to order the numbers.
The numbers with a 6 in the tenths place are smaller than the numbers with a 7 in the tenths place.
Then, use the hundredths place to order the numbers.
0.66 is smaller than 0.69 since 6 is smaller than 9.
0.70 is smaller than 0.71 since 0 is smaller than 1.
Example Question #81 : Sets
Order these objects from largest to smallest. The vase is inches, the table is inches, and the flowers are inches.
Flower, table, vase
Table, flower, vase
Table, vase, flower
Vase, flower, table
Flower, vase, table
Table, flower, vase
When ordering objects from largest to smallest, you need to compare the numbers. The largest number will always be the largest object. In this case, the number is bigger than and so the table comes first. The number is bigger than so the flower comes next. The number is the smallest number, so the vase is the smallest object.
Example Question #21 : Measurement & Data
Order these objects from largest to smallest. The sun is inches, the star is inches, and the moon is inches.
Star, sun, moon
Sun, star, moon
Sun, moon, star
Moon, star, sun
Moon, sun, star
Sun, moon, star
When ordering objects from largest to smallest, you need to compare the numbers. The largest number will always be the largest object. In this case, the number is bigger than and so the sun comes first. The number is bigger than , so the moon comes next. The number is the smallest number, so the star is the smallest object.
Example Question #4905 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Order these objects from smallest to largest. The cloud is inches, the sun is inches, and the moon is inches.
Sun, cloud, moon
Sun, moon, cloud
Moon, cloud, sun
Cloud, sun, moon
Moon, sun, cloud
Moon, sun, cloud
When ordering objects from smallest to largest, you need to compare the numbers. The smallest number will be the smallest object. In this case, the number is smaller than and so the moon is the smallest object. The number is smaller than , so the sun is the next object. The number is the biggest number, so the cloud is the largest object.
Example Question #1 : Measure Lengths Indirectly And By Iterating Length Units
Order these objects from smallest to largest. The dog is inches, the cat is inches, and the snake is inches.
Cat, dog, snake
Cat, snake, dog
Dog, cat, snake
Snake, dog, cat
Dog, snake, cat
Cat, dog, snake
When ordering objects from smallest to largest, you need to compare the numbers. The smallest number will be the smallest object. In this case, the number is smaller than and so the cat is the smallest object. The number is smaller than , so the dog is the next object. The number is the biggest number, so the snake is the largest object.
