Example Question #2441 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
In Spot’s toy basket he has balls. There are more stuffed animals than balls and there is five times the number of ropes than balls. How many toys does Spot have in his basket?
To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are the number of ropes and stuffed animals that Spot has. We can set up equations for these unknowns by letting represent ropes and represent stuffed animals.
because he has more stuffed animals than his balls.
because he has five times as many ropes as his balls.
Now we need to add up our number of balls, stuffed animals and ropes to find our total.
Example Question #12 : Solve Two Step Word Problems Using The Four Operations: Ccss.Math.Content.3.Oa.D.8
Tim swims laps in the pool every day during the week before school. On Monday and Tuesday he swims laps each day. On Wednesday and Thursday he doubles the number of laps he swims. On Friday, he swims fewer laps than he swam on Monday. How many total laps does he swim during the week?
To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are the number of laps he swims on Wednesday and Thursday and the number of laps he swims on Friday. We can set up equations for these unknowns by letting represent the laps that he swims on Wednesday and Thursday and represent the number of laps he swims on Friday.
because when we double something we multiply by .
because he is swimming less laps than he did on Monday, which means we subtract.
To find the total amount of laps that he swam, we need to add up the laps that he did each day.
Example Question #9 : Recognize Angle Measure As Additive: Ccss.Math.Content.4.Md.C.7
Solve for x.
To find the value of x we add both of the known angles together.
Example Question #2442 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Find the value of x.
When we have an angle with a square symbol in the corner, that means we have a right angle, or a angle.
Example Question #1382 : How To Add
Simplify the below:
In order to simplify: , we have to find out how many of each thing we have.
We can see that there are 2 a's in the group, so this becomes .
We can see that there are 2 b's in the group as well, so this becomes .
And there are no other c's, so the stays the same.
The result becomes,
Example Question #2443 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Simplify the below:
In order to "Simplify" , we have to put the things that are alike together.
We can rewrite this as: , now we have all the a's and b's together.
If I have 5 a's added to another 3 a's , that gives us a total of 8 a's.
If I have 2b's added to another b, that gives us a total of 3 b's.
If we put all of this together that will simplify to become:
Example Question #5 : Add Fractions With Unlike Denominators
In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.
Now that we have common denominators, we can add the fractions. Remember, when we add and subtract fractions, we only add or subtract the numerator.
because can go into one time, with one left over.
Example Question #6 : Add Fractions With Unlike Denominators
In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.
Now that we have common denominators, we can add the fractions. Remember, when we add and subtract fractions, we only add or subtract the numerator.
because and go into one time with four left over. can be reduced to by dividing the numerator and the denominator by
Example Question #11 : Count Within 1000 By 1s, 5s, 10s, And 100s, Ccss.Math.Content.2.Nbt.A.2
When counting by s, what number comes after
When counting by s, we add to our previous number.
