Example Question #73 : Sets
Define the set
Which of the following is a subset of ?
A subset of a set , by definition, is any set that contains no elements not in
. Each of the following subsets can be seen to have at least one such element, which is underlined here:
The remaining set can be seen to have only elements from :
This is the correct choice.
Example Question #74 : Sets
Define two sets as follows:
How many elements are in ?
is the union of sets
and
- the set of all elements that appear in either
or
. These elements are:
which is a set with twelve elements.
Example Question #75 : Sets
Use the given multiplication to find a pattern, and then solve the following:
Example Question #76 : Sets
Place the following numbers in order from smallest to largest:
For negative numbers, the bigger the value next to the negative sign, the smaller the number. For example, is smaller than
.
Use the tenths digit (the one to the right of the decimal point) to order the numbers:
The negative numbers with a in the tenths place are smaller than the numbers with a
in the tenths place.
Then, use the hundredths place to order the numbers:
is smaller than
since
is larger than
.
is smaller than
since
is larger than
.
Example Question #77 : Sets
Which of these numbers is not a prime number?
A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. 85 is immediately disqualified: any number that ends in 5 has 5 as a factor.
Example Question #78 : Sets
Place the following numbers in order from least to greatest:
First, use the tenths digit (the one to the right of the decimal point) to order the numbers.
The numbers with a 6 in the tenths place are smaller than the numbers with a 7 in the tenths place.
Then, use the hundredths place to order the numbers.
0.66 is smaller than 0.69 since 6 is smaller than 9.
0.70 is smaller than 0.71 since 0 is smaller than 1.
Example Question #81 : Data Analysis
Order these objects from largest to smallest. The vase is inches, the table is
inches, and the flowers are
inches.
Flower, table, vase
Table, vase, flower
Flower, vase, table
Table, flower, vase
Vase, flower, table
Table, flower, vase
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 is bigger than
and
so the table comes first. The number
is bigger than
so the flower comes next. The number
is the smallest number, so the vase is the smallest object.
Example Question #82 : Data Analysis
Order these objects from largest to smallest. The sun is inches, the star is
inches, and the moon is
inches.
Moon, star, sun
Star, sun, moon
Moon, sun, star
Sun, moon, star
Sun, star, moon
Sun, moon, star
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 is bigger than
and
so the sun comes first. The number
is bigger than
, so the moon comes next. The number
is the smallest number, so the star is the smallest object.
Example Question #83 : Data Analysis
Order these objects from smallest to largest. The cloud is inches, the sun is
inches, and the moon is
inches.
Sun, moon, cloud
Cloud, sun, moon
Moon, cloud, sun
Moon, sun, cloud
Sun, cloud, moon
Moon, sun, cloud
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 is smaller than
and
so the moon is the smallest object. The number
is smaller than
, so the sun is the next object. The number
is the biggest number, so the cloud is the largest object.
Example Question #1182 : Common Core Math: Grade 1
Order these objects from smallest to largest. The dog is inches, the cat is
inches, and the snake is
inches.
Dog, snake, cat
Dog, cat, snake
Cat, snake, dog
Cat, dog, snake
Snake, dog, cat
Cat, dog, snake
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 is smaller than
and
so the cat is the smallest object. The number
is smaller than
, so the dog is the next object. The number
is the biggest number, so the snake is the largest object.
