Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Measure Lengths Indirectly And By Iterating Length Units

Order these objects from smallest to largest. The purse is \(\displaystyle 3\) inches, the suitcase is \(\displaystyle 15\) inches, and the backpack is \(\displaystyle 10\) inches.

Possible Answers:

Purse, backpack, suitcase

Backpack,purse, suitcase

Suitcase, backpack, purse

Suitcase, purse, backpack

Purse, suitcase, backpack

Correct answer:

Purse, backpack, suitcase

Explanation:

When ordering objects from smallest to largest, you need to compare the numbers. The smallest number will be the smallest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 3\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 15\) and \(\displaystyle 10\) so the purse is the smallest object. The number \(\displaystyle 10\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 15\), so the backpack is the next object. The number \(\displaystyle 15\) is the biggest number, so the suitcase is the largest object. 

Example Question #1 : Measurement & Data

Order these objects from smallest to largest. The rug is \(\displaystyle 20\) inches, the towel is \(\displaystyle 15\) inches, and the pillow is \(\displaystyle 10\) inches.

Possible Answers:

Pillow, rug, towel

Rug, pillow, towel 

Towel, pillow, rug

Pillow, towel, rug

Towel, rug, pillow

Correct answer:

Pillow, towel, rug

Explanation:

When ordering objects from smallest to largest, you need to compare the numbers. The smallest number will be the smallest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 10\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 20\) and \(\displaystyle 15\) so the pillow is the smallest object. The number \(\displaystyle 15\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 20\), so the towel is the next object. The number \(\displaystyle 20\) is the biggest number, so the rug is the largest object. 

Example Question #1 : Order And Compare Objects By Length: Ccss.Math.Content.1.Md.A.1

Order these objects from largest to smallest. The dog is \(\displaystyle 20\) inches, the cat is \(\displaystyle 14\) inches, and the snake is \(\displaystyle 16\) inches. 

Possible Answers:

Cat, snake, dog

Snake, cat, dog

Cat, dog, snake

Dog, snake, cat

Dog, cat, snake

Correct answer:

Dog, snake, cat

Explanation:

When ordering objects from largest to smallest, you need to compare the numbers. The largest number will always be the largest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 20\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 14\) and \(\displaystyle 16\) so the dog comes first. The number \(\displaystyle 16\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 14\), so the snake comes next. The number \(\displaystyle 14\) is the smallest number, so the cat is the smallest object. 

Example Question #91 : Data Analysis

Order these objects from smallest to largest. The coat is \(\displaystyle 26\) inches in length, the hat is \(\displaystyle 6\) inches in length, and the mittens are \(\displaystyle 8\) inches in length.

Possible Answers:

Hat, mittens, coat

Hat, coat, mittens

Coat, hat, mittens

Mittens, coat, hat

Mittens, hat, coat

Correct answer:

Hat, mittens, coat

Explanation:

When ordering objects from smallest to largest, you need to compare the numbers. The smallest number will be the smallest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 6\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 8\) and \(\displaystyle 26\) so the hat is the smallest object. The number \(\displaystyle 8\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 26\), so the mittens are the next object. The number \(\displaystyle 26\) is the biggest number, so the coat is the largest object. 

Example Question #92 : Data Analysis

Order these objects from smallest to largest. The table is \(\displaystyle 36\) inches, the couch is \(\displaystyle 60\) feet, and the room is \(\displaystyle 72\) feet. 

Possible Answers:

Table, couch, room

Couch, room, table 

Table, room, couch

Room, couch, table

Room, table, couch

Correct answer:

Table, couch, room

Explanation:

When ordering objects from smallest to largest, you need to compare the numbers. The smallest number will be the smallest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 36\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 60\) and \(\displaystyle 72\) so the table is the smallest object. The number \(\displaystyle 60\) is smaller than \(\displaystyle 72\), so the couch is the next object. The number \(\displaystyle 72\) is the biggest number, so the room is the largest object. 

Example Question #93 : Data Analysis

Order these objects from largest to smallest. The candle is \(\displaystyle 5\) inches, the frame is \(\displaystyle 9\) inches, and the painting is \(\displaystyle 12\) inches. 

Possible Answers:

Candle, frame, painting

Frame, painting, candle 

Painting, frame, candle

Candle, painting, frame

 Painting, candle, frame

Correct answer:

Painting, frame, candle

Explanation:

When ordering objects from largest to smallest, you need to compare the numbers. The largest number will always be the largest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 12\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 5\) and \(\displaystyle 9\) so the painting comes first. The number \(\displaystyle 9\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 5\), so the frame comes next. The number \(\displaystyle 5\) is the smallest number, so the candle is the smallest object. 

Example Question #94 : Data Analysis

Order these objects from largest to smallest. The truck is \(\displaystyle 20\) inches, the motorcycle is \(\displaystyle 13\) inches, and the car is \(\displaystyle 17\) inches. 

Possible Answers:

Truck, motorcycle, car

Car, motorcycle, truck

Motorcycle, truck, car

Truck, car, motorcycle

Car, truck, motorcycle

Correct answer:

Truck, car, motorcycle

Explanation:

When ordering objects from largest to smallest, you need to compare the numbers. The largest number will always be the largest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 20\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 13\) and \(\displaystyle 17\) so the truck comes first. The number \(\displaystyle 17\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 13\), so the car comes next. The number \(\displaystyle 13\) is the smallest number, so the motorcycle is the smallest object. 

Example Question #95 : Data Analysis

Correct answer:

Truck, car, bear

Explanation:

When ordering objects from largest to smallest, you need to compare the numbers. The largest number will always be the largest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 19\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 15\) and \(\displaystyle 17\) so the truck comes first. The number \(\displaystyle 17\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 15\), so the car comes next. The number \(\displaystyle 15\) is the smallest number, so the bear is the smallest object. 

Example Question #96 : Data Analysis

Order these objects from largest to smallest. The picture is \(\displaystyle 5\) inches, the frame is \(\displaystyle 8\) inches, and the wall is \(\displaystyle 17\) inches.

Picture, frame, wall

Frame, wall, picture

Wall, picture, frame

Correct answer:

Wall, frame, picture

Explanation:

When ordering objects from largest to smallest, you need to compare the numbers. The largest number will always be the largest object. In this case, the number \(\displaystyle 17\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 5\) and \(\displaystyle 8\) so the wall comes first. The number \(\displaystyle 8\) is bigger than \(\displaystyle 5\), so the frame comes next. The number \(\displaystyle 5\) is the smallest number, so the picture is the smallest object. 

Example Question #97 : Data Analysis
