A taxicab fare costs x dollars for the first quarter of a mile and ¼x dollars for each quarter of a mile after that. How much will the total cost be for a 2½ mile ride?

  1. 3x
  2. 13/4x
  3. 10x
  4. 5/4x
  5. 2.5x

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

2½ miles divided by 1/4 is ten quarter miles. Since the first quarter mile costs x amount, the other nine quarter miles cost 1/4 x, so 9 × 1/4x = 9/4 x.x + 9/4x = 4/4x + 9/4x = 13/4x.



Which of the following measures could form the sides of a triangle?

I) 3, 3, 5
II) 6, 6, 12
III) 1, 2, 3

  1. I only
  2. II only
  3. III only
  4. I and II only
  5. II and III only

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The sum of the measures of the two shorter sides of a triangle must be greater than the longest side. Since 3 + 3 > 5, statement I works. Since 6 + 6 = 12 and 1 + 2 = 3, they do not form the sides of the triangle. The answer is statement I only.



Scott’s average (arithmetic mean) golf score on his first four rounds was 78. What score does he need on his fifth round to drop his average score by 2 points?

  1. 68
  2. 72
  3. 78
  4. 88
  5. 312

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

If the average of four rounds is 78, then the total points scored is 78 × 4 = 312. If his score were to drop 2 points that means his new average would be 76. A 76 average for five rounds is a total of 380 points. The difference between these two point totals is 380 – 312 = 68. He needs a score of 68 on the fifth round.
