Example Question #1141 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)

The total weight of a troll’s lunch is 49lbs. The ratio of carrots to turnips is 3:4. How many pounds of turnips did the troll use to make his lunch?

Possible Answers:

$22\textsl{ pounds}$

$14\textsl{ pounds}$

$30\textsl{ pounds}$

$28\textsl{ pounds}$

Correct answer:

$28\textsl{ pounds}$

Explanation:

Determine the total parts of carrots and turnips in the troll’s lunch by adding them $(3+4=7\textsl{ total parts})$ .

Divide the total weight of the troll’s lunch by the number of parts to determine how many pounds per part $(\frac{49\textsl{ pounds}}{7\textsl{ parts}}=\frac{7\textsl{ pounds}}{1\textsl{ part}})$ .

Finally, multiply the parts of turnips (4) by the number of pounds/part.

Therefore, $4\cdot7=28\textsl{ pounds of turnips}$

Example Question #284 : Whole And Part

The ratio of tea to milk in Kelsey’s favorite drink is 5:2. The total volume of the drink is 14 ounces. How many ounces of Kelsey’s drink are tea?

Possible Answers:

$10 \textsl{ ounces}$

$5\textsl{ ounces}$

$15\textsl{ ounces}$

$20\textsl{ ounces}$

Correct answer:

$10 \textsl{ ounces}$

Explanation:

Determine the total parts of tea and milk in the drink by adding them $(5+2=7\textsl{ total parts})$ .

Divide the total volume of the drink by the number of parts in the drink to determine how many ounces per part $(\frac{14\textsl{ ounces}}{7 parts}=\frac{2\textsl{ ounces}}{1 part})$

Finally, multiply the parts of tea (5) by the number of ounces/part. Therefore, $5\cdot2=10\textsl{ ounces of tea}$ .

Example Question #61 : Round Decimals: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Nbt.A.4

Round 127.426 to the nearest tenth.

Possible Answers:

127.42

127.43

127.5

127.3

127.4

Correct answer:

127.4

Explanation:

When we round a number to the nearest tenth we look to the hundredths place to tell us if we round up or down.

$127.4{\color{Blue} 2}6$

If the number in our hundredths place is or greater, we round up. If the number in the hundredths place is or less, we round down. When we round up, the number in the hundredths place increases by and all the other numbers to the right become . When we round down, the number in the hundredths place stays the same and all the other numbers to the right become .

In this case, is less than so our rounded number is 127.400 or 127.4

Example Question #2 : Fractions

Express the quotient as a fraction in lowest terms:

$5 \frac{3}{5} \div 4 \frac{1}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$1 \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$1 \frac{1}{4}$

$1 \frac{1}{3}$

Correct answer:

$1 \frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

Rewrite the mixed fractions as improper fractions, change to a multiplication by inverting the second, cross-cancel, and multiply across:

$5 \frac{3}{5} \div 4 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{28}{5 } \div \frac{21}{5 } = \frac{28}{5 } \cdot \frac{5}{21 }= \frac{4}{1 } \cdot \frac{1}{3 }= \frac{4}{3 }$

Example Question #3 : Fractions

Express the quotient as a fraction in lowest terms:

$4 \frac{1}{5} \div 5 \frac{3}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$1 \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{6}{7}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{5}{7}$

$1 \frac{1}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

Rewrite the mixed fractions as improper fractions, change to a multiplication by inverting the second, cross-cancel, and multiply across:

$4 \frac{1}{5} \div 5 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{21}{5} \div \frac{28}{5} = \frac{21}{5} \cdot \frac{5}{28} = \frac{3}{1} \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{8}{25}$

$\frac{5}{3}$

$\frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{1}{15}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Multiply by the reciprocal, cross-cancel, then multiply numerators and denominators:

$\frac{12}{5} \div \frac{4}{25} = \frac{12}{5} \times \frac{25}{4} = \frac{3}{1} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{15}{1} = 15$
