Example Question #861 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)
Bernard is baking cookies. He has to bake 48 cookies and has 6 pounds of cookie dough to make them. After he bakes 8 cookies, how many pounds of cookie dough does he have left?
pound
pounds
pounds

pounds
If Bernard bakes 8 cookies, that means he has used one-sixth of the cookie dough because 48 divided by 8 equals 6. Thus, 8 is one-sixth of 48.
Therefore, he would have used one-sixth of the dough, or the equivalent of 1 pound.
This would leave 5 pounds of dough remaining.
Example Question #862 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)
In a rectangle, each corner has a value in degrees of A (first corner), B (second corner), C (third corner), and D (fourth corner).
What is the sum of corners A, B, and C?
In a rectangle, each corner is equal to 90 degrees. All corners are of equal degrees. Thus, the sum of any three corners would equal the product of 90 and 3, which is 270. Therefore, the correct answer is 270 degrees.
Example Question #4 : How To Find The Whole From The Part
Captain Hook, Captain Jack, and Captain James each had the same number of shipmates. Given the information below, which of the following could be the number of shipmates each captain had?
Captain Hook put his shipmates into groups of with none left over.
Captain Jack put his shipmates into groups of with none left over.
Captain James put his shipmates into groups of with none left over.
For this question we look at the multiples of each group and find the smallest factor that is common to all three groups.
Captain Hook:
Captain Jack:
Captain James:
Therefore, the smallest number that is divisible by and is .

Example Question #11 : Whole And Part
Mark is baking cupcakes. He has to bake cupcakes and has pounds of cake batter to make them. After he bakes cupcakes, how many pounds of cake batter does he have left?
If Mark bakes cupcakes, that means he has used one-eighth of the cake batter because:
.
Now we need to find out how much one-eighth of is:
From here we will find the difference between the amount of cake batter Mark started with and the amount he used for the cupcakes to find how many pounds of batter is left.
Therefore,
This would leave 7 pounds of cake batter remaining.
Example Question #12 : Whole And Part
On Monday Beth created drawing. On Tuesday she created drawings. On Wednesday she created twice has many drawings as on Monday and Tuesday combined. She did not draw the rest of the week. How many drawings total did she create for the week?
drawings
drawings
drawings
drawings
drawings
drawings
To calculate Beth's total drawings, we should add up the days:
Monday: drawing
Tuesday: drawings
Wednesday: , which is the total of Monday's drawings plus Tuesday's drawings, times . (Given that plus is equal to , and that times is , there were a total of drawings on Wednesday.)
The sum of plus plus is , which is therefore the correct answer.
Example Question #861 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)
There is a bag of marbles and the three colors are red, blue, and green. If the green marbles equal times the amount of blue and blue is times the amount of red, what is the total amount of marbles when there are red marbles?
Since there are times as many blue marbles as there are red, you must multiple the red marbles by , Then you take the blue marbles and multiply by since there are times the green marbles as blue . Then you add them all together to get .

What is in expanded form?
When we write a number in expanded form, we multiply each digit by its place value.
is in the ones place, so we multiply by .
is in the tenths place, so we multiply by .
is in the hundredths place, so we multiply by .
Then we add the products together to check our answer:
