Which fraction is less than ${\frac{1}2{}}{}$ $\displaystyle {\frac{1}2{}}{}$?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{9}{10}$ $\displaystyle \frac{9}{10}$

$\frac{5}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{5}{6}$

$\frac{7}{8}$ $\displaystyle \frac{7}{8}$

What is 60% of 700?

Possible Answers:

500 $\displaystyle 500$

420 $\displaystyle 420$

440 $\displaystyle 440$

490 $\displaystyle 490$

450 $\displaystyle 450$

Correct answer:

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

Find the part from the whole. What number goes in the box?

$9 + \square = 17$ $\displaystyle 9 + \square = 17$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 5$

$\displaystyle 6$

$\displaystyle 7$

$\displaystyle 9$

$\displaystyle 8$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 8$

Explanation:

Think: what two parts equal the whole (17)?

9 plus what equals 17?

$\displaystyle 9 + (8) = 17$

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

Find the missing number.

$17 + \square = 28$ $\displaystyle 17 + \square = 28$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 10$

$\displaystyle 12$

$\displaystyle 9$

$\displaystyle 11$

$\displaystyle 35$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 11$

Explanation:

To find the missing part, think: 17 (part) plus what (missing part) equals 28 (whole)?

We can find the missing part by using the idea that whole minus part equals the missing part.

17+?=28 $\displaystyle 17+?=28$

28-17=? $\displaystyle 28-17=?$

$\begin{matrix} &28 \\ - & 17\\ & 11 \end{matrix}$ $\displaystyle \begin{matrix} &28 \\ - & 17\\ & 11 \end{matrix}$

So, the missing part is 11. We can check by adding the parts and getting the whole (28).

$\displaystyle 17 + (11)=28$

Example Question #4 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

Find the digit in the hundreds place.

$\displaystyle 7459.3192$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 9$

$\displaystyle 5$

$\displaystyle 4$

$\displaystyle 1$

$\displaystyle 7$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 4$

Explanation:

Do not confuse hundredths place and hundreds place. The hundreds place is between the tens place and the thousands place, in front of the decimal.

$7\mathbf{4}59.3192$ $\displaystyle 7\mathbf{4}59.3192$

Report an Error

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Part From The Whole

Find the part from the whole.

$12 + \square+3=20$ $\displaystyle 12 + \square+3=20$

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 4$

$\displaystyle 5$

$\displaystyle 8$

$\displaystyle 6$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 5$

Explanation:

To find a whole, add the three parts. First, add the two parts together:

12+3=15 $\displaystyle 12+3=15$

Since one of the parts is still missing, think:

$15+\square=20$ $\displaystyle 15+\square=20$

15 (part) plus what (missing part) equals 20 (whole)?

The missing part is 5.
