Example Question #653 : Numbers And Operations

Brianna's favorite song is 2 and a half minutes. There is a drum solo that begins one third of the way into the song and lasts for 24 seconds. How many seconds into the song does the drum solo end?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If a song is 2 and a half minutes long, it is 150 seconds long. If the drum solo starts one third of the way into the song, it will begin at the 50 second mark, since 50 is one third of 150.

Since the drum solo lasts for 24 seconds, it will end at the 74 second mark. Therefore, 74 is the correct answer.

Example Question #655 : Numbers And Operations

Jonathan ate $\dpi{100} \frac{1}{4}$ of a carton of ice cream. This is equal to 1 pound of ice cream. How many pounds of ice cream were in the carton of ice cream before Jonathan started eating?

Possible Answers:

$\dpi{100} 1\ pound$

$\dpi{100} 16\ pounds$

$\dpi{100} 4\ pounds$

$\dpi{100} 2\ pounds$

Correct answer:

$\dpi{100} 4\ pounds$

Explanation:

The fraction $\dpi{100} \frac{1}{4}$ means that Jonathan has eaten 1 part out of a possible 4 parts of the carton of ice cream. So we can multiply the amount that he ate (1 pound) by 4 to see that there are 4 pounds of ice cream in a carton.

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Whole From The Part

37 is 20% of what number?

Possible Answers:

185

135

7.4

Correct answer:

185

Explanation:

To find the whole from the part, divide the “part” by the percent. In order to do this, first change the percent into a decimal (20% becomes 0.2).

$37 \div 0.2 = 185$

Therefore, 37 is 20% of 185.
