Example Question #4871 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
What is the missing number in the sequence below?
To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is adding eight! So, to find the missing number, we need to add eight to the number before the blank space.
Example Question #4872 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
What is the missing number in the sequence below?
To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is subtracting three! To find the missing number, we need to subtract three from the first number in the pattern.
Example Question #4873 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
What is the missing number in the sequence below?
To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is multiplying by two! To find the missing number, we need to multiply the number before the blank space by two.
Example Question #4873 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Find the missing parts of this set.
First, you must notice that the set is counting down/backwards. You can solve this problem in two ways.
1) Notice the pattern: the digits in the tens and ones place are the same and are just counting down. Using this pattern, we can guess that the next two numbers will be 33 and 22.
2) You can find the difference between any two numbers in the set. To do this, take any two numbers and subtract, but remember to put the greater number first!
The difference is 11. Each number in the set decreases by 11. To find the missing numbers, subtract 11 from the last known number.
The two missing numbers are 33 and 22.
Example Question #81 : Data Analysis And Probability
Which of the following would make the most sense to use if we were going to measure a chair?
Both a yardstick and a measuring tape
Measuring tape
Ruler
Yardstick
Both a yardstick and a measuring tape
You would not want to use a ruler to measure a chair because a chair is most likely bigger than 12 inches, which is the size of a ruler. Both a yardstick and measuring tape would be large enough to measure a chair.
Example Question #3 : Measurement & Data
Which would make the most sense to use if we were going to measure a jar?
Ruler
Meter stick
Measuring tape
Yardstick
Ruler
You would use a ruler to measure a jar because a jar is most likely smaller than 12 inches, which is the size of a ruler. All of the other tools will be much larger.
Example Question #4 : Measurement & Data
Which would make the most sense to use if we were going to measure a bug?
Measuring tape
Yardstick
Meter stick
Ruler
Ruler
You would use a ruler to measure a bug because a bug is most likely smaller than 12 inches, which is the size of a ruler. All of the other tools will be much larger.
Example Question #82 : Data Analysis And Probability
Which would make the most sense to use if we were going to measure a kite?
Yardstick
Scale
Measuring tape
Ruler
Yardstick
You would want to use a yardstick to measure a kite because a kite is most likely bigger than 12 inches, which is the length of a ruler. However, a kite is normally not bigger than 36 inches, or three feet. Measuring tape is usually used to measure much larger objects.
Example Question #8 : Measurement & Data
Which would make the most sense to use if we were going to measure a door?
Ruler
Meter stick
Measuring tape
Yardstick
Measuring tape
A door is most likely larger than what a yardstick, meter stick, and ruler could measure. A ruler can only measure up to 
Example Question #83 : Data Analysis And Probability
Which would make the most sense to use if we were going to measure an oven?
Yardstick or meter stick
Yardstick
Ruler
Meter Stick
Yardstick or meter stick
An oven is most likely larger ruler could measure because a ruler can only measure up to 12 inches. A yardstick can measure up to 3 feet (or 36 inches), and a meter stick is about the same size as a yardstick.
