Example Question #2 : Measurement & Data
Which would make the most sense to use if we were going to measure a candle?
Meter stick
Yardstick
Measuring tape
Ruler
Ruler
You would use a ruler to measure a shoe because a candle is most likely smaller than 12 inches, which is the size of a ruler. All of the other tools will be much larger.

rhombus, kite, trapezoid
pentagon, isosceles, kite
equilateral, parallelogram, trapezoid
isosceles, scalene, equilateral
isosceles, scalene, equilateral
isosceles: triangle with two equal sides and two equal angles
scalene: triangle with no equal sides and no equal angles
equilateral: triangle with three equal sides and three equal angles
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.
