ILTS Math 110 Exam Questions And Accurate
Answers 2025-2026
Problem Solving Strategies Solution 1. Guess and Check, by this problem-solving
strategy, you take a guess about an answer and check to see whether it is right. You
may not get the solution immediately but even the wrong guess will help you to get
closer and keep solving. Example: 3 persons age add up to 72, and e ach person is one
year older than the last person That is their ages?
Because the three ages sum to 72 it is reasonable to start with one third of 72. Of course
even though 24+24+24=72 those numbers don't match the info. So you might guess 24,
25, 26 which is a sum of 73 Then you might guess 23,24, 25. - Answer
Problem solving strategies - Answer 1. Make a sketch or a picture, can help you clarify a
problem. Consider this problem, Mr. Rosenberg plans to put a four-foot concrete
sidewalk around his backyard pool. The pool is rectangular, with dimensions of 12 by
24. The cost of the concrete is 1.28 per square foot. How much concrete is require for
the job. Make a rectangle around the pool with 12 x 24 x 4. Solve
Problem solving strategies - Answer 3. Make a table or a chart
Problem solving strategies - Answer 4. Listing, like making a table or chart, can be an
effective way of organizing information and may give, or at least suggest, a solution. Try
the following "How many different outcomes are there if you roll two regular sixsided
dice?
Problem solving strategies - Answer Act it out.
problem solving strategies Answer Look for pattern. This strategy prompts you to ask,
"what's going on here?" It would be useful in solving a problem like, Nevin's weekly
savings account balance for 15 weeks are as follows, $125, $135, $ 148, $72, $85, $96,
$105, $50, $64, $74, $87, $42, $51, $60, $70, If the pattern holds, what might Nevin's
, balance be? Do an average.
Problem Solving Strategy: Working a simpler problem. If you have to find the product of
23 and 184, you estimate 20×200.
Problem Solving Strategy Now that we have the tools to do so, let's write an open math
sentence sometimes called translating a problem into mathematics. Consider this
problem. "Tianne earned 77, 86, 90, 83 on her first four weekly science quizzes.
Assuming all grades are equally weighted what score will she need on the fifth week's
quiz in order to average a score of 88." You could set up the problem like this
77+86+90+83+X/5=88. Solve for X.
PS strat - Ans 9. Work backwards. If you add 12 to some number then multiply the sum
by 4, you will get 60. Start with the final number.
Math is - Ans a science of exactness.
Hundreds v. Hundreths - Ans Three hundred means 300 wheras three hundredths
means 0.03.
Negative numbers - Ans those less than zero. Fractions less than zero are negative too.
Absolute value of a number - Answer can be thought of as its distance from zero on a
number line.
Counting numbers - Answer - (1,2,3,4, zero is not a counting number,
Whole numbers are the counting numbers, plus 0 - (0,1,2,3,4) - Answer
Integers are - Answer all of the whole numbers and their negative counterparts
(.-2,-1,0,1,2,.) Note that negative and positive fractions are not integers (except for
