### Example Question #1 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning

Explanation:

In order to divide fractions, we first take the reciprocal of the second fraction. To find the reciprocal, we switch the numerator and the denominator. So, the reciprocal of    is .

Then we multiply the first fraction and the reciprocal.

We then multiply the numerators together: .

Then we multiply the denominators together: .

We divide the numerator (25) by the denominator (24) to get .

### Example Question #1 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning

Find the quotient.

147

21

10

18

21

Explanation:

When solving a problem with multiple operations, always remember: PEMDAS!

To find the quotient, first do the "P" .

Then the "E"

Then the "M"

Now "D"

The quotient is 21.

### Example Question #2 : Numbers And Operations

Which expression is equivalent to

Explanation:

The original expression is equal to 2 (remember order of operations-PEMDAS). Therefore,  is the correct answer because that is the only response that is equal to 2.

### Example Question #1 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning

In the pantry, there is an equal number of cereal boxes, bags of chips, and boxes of cookies. How many items could be in the pantry?

Explanation:

In order to have an equal number of cereal, chips, and cookies, the number of total items needs to be a number that is divisble by three. Of the four answer choices,  is the only number that is a multiple of three.

Therefore,  is the correct answer choice.

### Example Question #1 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning

### Example Question #1 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning

If  can be divided by both  and , it can also be divided by which number without leaving a remainder?

Explanation:

Of the four answer choices given,  is the only choice that has both  and  as factors. Therefore, any number that is a multiple of , for example,  or , is also divisible by both  and .

### Example Question #2 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning

### Example Question #1 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning

Which of the following is NOT true about the number 18?

It is divisible by 12.

It is divisble by 3.

It is divisible by 18.

It is divisble by 6.

It is divisible by 12.

Explanation:

While the number 18 is divisible by 3, 6, and 18, it is not divisible by 12.

Dividing 18 by 12 results in a remainder of 6.

Therefore, the statement that is not true about the number 18 (and is hence the correct answer choice) is "It is divisible by 12."
