Example Question #77 : Data Analysis And Probability

What is the missing number in the sequence?

, __, 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is subtracting three. So, to find the missing number, we need to subtract three from the number before the blank space!

Example Question #78 : Data Analysis And Probability

What is the missing number in the sequence?

, __, 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is dividing by four. So, to find the missing number, we need to divide the number before the blank space by four!

Example Question #79 : Data Analysis And Probability

What is the missing number in the sequence?

, __, 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is adding fifteen. So, to find the missing number, we need to add fifteen to the number before the blank space!

What is the missing number in the sequence below?

, __, 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is dividing by two! So, to find the missing number, we need to divide the number before the blank space by two.

Example Question #4871 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)

What is the missing number in the sequence below?

, __

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

, __, 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

, __, 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Both a yardstick and a measuring tape

 Measuring tape

 Ruler

Yardstick

Correct answer:

Both a yardstick and a measuring tape

Explanation:

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?

Possible Answers:

Ruler

Meter stick

Measuring tape

Yardstick

Correct answer:

Ruler

Explanation:

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.
