Example Question #3301 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)

Nikki has 164 coins in her coin collection. She decides to break her coin collection into 4 equal groups. How many coins are in each group?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Since Nikki is breaking her total number of coins into smaller, equal groups, we need to divide.

Example Question #32 : How To Divide

Trinity decides to break up her coin collection into  equal groups. Her coin collection consists of  coins. How many coins will Trinity put in each group?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Because Trinity is breaking her total number of coins into smaller, equal groups, we need to divide!

 

Example Question #33 : How To Divide

Jayme has  toy ponies. If she breaks them up into  equal groups, how many toy ponies will be in each group?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Because Jayme is breaking her total number of toy ponies into smaller, equal groups, we need to divide!

 toy ponies   groups =  toy ponies per group

Example Question #3301 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)

Find the quotient, and show a remainder if necessary. (Remainders are denoted with "R" in the answer choices.)

Possible Answers:

 

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When you divide 4 into 15, it does not go in evenly.

4 goes into 15 three full times. The remainder is the difference between 15 and 12.

Therefore the remainder is 3, so the correct answer is 3 R3.

Example Question #3302 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)

Find the quotient and show a remainder if necessary. (Remainders are denoted with R in the answer choices.)

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

7 does not divide evenly into 18, so there will be a remainder. 7 goes into 18 two times.

To find the remainder, we subtract 14 from 18.

The answer is therefore 2 R4.

You can also draw a picture to help visualize the problem:

ooooooo   ooooooo   oooo

This shows 2 groups of 7 (for a total of 14), with 4 left over (the remainder).

Example Question #3303 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)

Possible Answers:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct answer:

 

Explanation:

Divide 16 by 4. The quotient is 4.

To visualize, divide 16 objects into equal groups of 4, then count how many groups there are:

oooo oooo oooo oooo  = 4 groups in all.

Example Question #3302 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)

What is the result of dividing six by two?

Possible Answers:

2

-3

12

6

3

 

 

 

 

Correct answer:

3

 

 

 

 

Explanation:

We want to know how many 2's are in 6.

\dpi{100} 2+2+2=6

Therefore the answer is 3.

Example Question #3305 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)

Bryce has  baseball cards. He wants to break them up into  equal groups. After breaking his cards up, how many baseball cards will be in each group?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Because Bryce is breaking his total number of baseball cards into smaller, equal groups, we need to divide!

Example Question #39 : How To Divide

Which of the following equations does NOT have a remainder?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A division equation will not have a remainder if a number can be divided evenly by another number.

The only given equation in which there is no remainder is  because 3 goes into 24 exactly 8 times.

 

Example Question #41 : How To Divide

What is the quotient of ?

Include the remainder if necessary?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We can start by finding the whole number of times that 3 will go into 16.

We can see that the whole value for the quotient will be 5, but there will be a remainder. The remainder will be 1, since 16 is 1 greater than 15.
