How to find the answer from a table - SSAT Elementary Level Quantitative

There are pens, pencils, and markers. is the smallest number, which means there are less pens than pencils or markers.

Pens are show in the first bar. The bar goes up to the number which means there are pens.

There are oranges and apples. To find the difference we subtract.

Pencils are show in the middle bar. The bar goes up to the number which means there are pencils.

To order these four negative numbers from least to greatest, we first order their (positive) absolute values from greatest to least.

The tenths digits are all 6, so we can compare the hundredths digits; if there is a tie, we can compare their thousandths digits. The absolute values fall in this order:

The original numbers, therefore, fall in this order:

Since a dozen equals 12 eggs, the "Total Number of Eggs" column is increasing by 12 each time. Therefore 2 dozen eggs is equivalent to 24 eggs.

Using the table to find the information, first look at the column "Number of Cookies" to find the last row "3 dozen." Then, find the column "Flour" and follow it down to the last row where it shows 9 cups.

Jackie will need 9 cups of flour to make 3 dozen cookies.

Since the table does not show ingredients for 4 dozen cookies, you will need to extend the table.

Each time the recipe increases by 1 dozen, the sugar increases by 1.5 cups. To find the answer, simply add 1.5 cups to the last number in the column (4.5 cups).

Jackie will need 6 cups of sugar for 4 dozen cookies.

Another way to do this problem is to add the sugar for 1 dozen and 3 dozen to make 4 dozen: .

This box in the table is a question mark, so we will need to use other parts of the table to find the answer.

Use the first row in the table to see that each ant has six legs.

Multiply the number of ants by the number of legs per ant :

4 ants have 24 legs.

Another way to solve is to add the legs of four ants, knowing that each ant has six legs.

Use the first row in the table to determine how many body parts 1 ant has. Since 1 ant has 3 body parts, you will need to multiply 6(ants) by 3(body parts).

6 ants have 18 body parts.

Another way to solve would be to add up the body parts of each of the six ants.

Use the first row in the table to determine how many legs 1 giraffe has. Since 1 giraffe has 4 legs, you will need to multiply 4(giraffes) by 4(legs each).

The 4 giraffes have 16 legs.

You can also add the legs of 4 single giraffes by making 4 groups of 4.

oooo + oooo + oooo + oooo = 16

Use the first row in the table to determine how many ears 1 giraffe has. Since 1 giraffe has 2 ears, you will need to multiply 7(giraffes) by 2(ears).

7 giraffes have 14 ears altogether.

You can also solve by adding the ears of each giraffe together, making 7 groups of 2.

oo + oo + oo + oo + oo + oo + oo = 14

To find the average, we need to add all of the temperatures together, and then divide by the number of total temperatures (which is five).

Kayla got the highest score (99), followed by Brayden with the second highest (92), and then Bessie with the third highest (86). Sheniqua got the fourth highest (83), and Johnny got the lowest (71).

To find the answer, we should add Brayden's math test score () to Brayden's science test score () and divide by .

Under the Favorite Ice Cream column, we see that 3 students picked vanilla (Mikey, Jonas, & Taylor), 1 picked chocolate chip (Quinn), and 1 picked strawberry (Chloe). Based on that, vanilla is the favorite flavor.

To answer this question, look at the two columns and see which two students pick the same answer to favorite ice cream and favorite juice. Both Mikey and Taylor selected vanilla as their favorite ice cream flavor and apple juice as their favorite juice!

To find this answer, look under the Math Test Score column to see which student got the highest score. Ernie received a 99 on the math test**,** which is higher than the other four students!

To find this answer, add together each student's math and english test scores to see which student has the greatest sum. Ernie recieved points when adding his math and English test scores together, which is higher than the other four students.
