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 inches, a yardstick can only measure up to feet (or inches), and a meter stick is about the same size as a yardstick. However, measuring tape can measuring up to feet, and most doors are about feet.
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.
Example Question #6 : Measurement & Data
Which would make the most sense to use if we were going to measure a deck?
Yardstick
Meter stick
Measuring tape
Ruler
Measuring tape
A deck is most likely larger than what a yardstick, meter stick, and ruler could measure. A ruler can only measure up to 12 inches, a yardstick can only measure up to 3 feet (or 36 inches), and a meter stick is about the same size as a yardstick. Measuring tape can measure up to 25 feet.
Example Question #51 : Sets
Which would make the most sense to use if we were going to measure a mailbox?
Meter stick
Yardstick
Measuring tape
Ruler
Measuring tape
Most mailboxes will be talker than inches and feet ( inches) which would make the mailbox bigger than a ruler, yardstick, and meter stick. However, a mailbox will not be taller than what measuring tape can measure. Measuring tape can measure at about feet.
Example Question #4881 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
What is the missing number in the sequence?
__________,
To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is adding by fives. So, to find the missing number, we need to add five more to the number before the blank space in the given sequence.
Example Question #52 : Sets
What is the missing number in the sequence?
, , __, ,
To find the missing number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is multiplying by threes.So, to find the missing number, we need to multiply the number before the blank space by three.
Example Question #4883 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Find the missing parts of this set:
___, ___,
First, you must notice that the set is counting down/backwards. When you look at how all the numbers are related, you will notice that these numbers decrease by , or are multiples of . To solve, you can add to the first known number () and then to that number to find the first number in the sequence.
The complete sequence is:
Example Question #4884 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
What is the missing number in the sequence?
, , __, ,
To find the next number in the sequence, we need to find the pattern. In this problem, the pattern is multiplying by twos! So, to find the next number, we need to multiply the number before the blank space by two.
