QUESTION: 85

A house contains one 12-foot × 14-foot bedroom, one 12-foot × 10-foot bedroom, and one 8-foot × 12-foot bedroom.
What’s the total amount of carpeting needed to carpet all three bedrooms?

384 square yards
128 square yards
216 square yards
88 square yards

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Find the area of each bedroom and add them together: 12 × 14 = 168; 12 × 10 = 120; 8 × 12 = 96. 168 + 120 + 96 = 384 square feet. Then, because 3 feet make up a yard, divide the total area in square feet by 3 to determine the number of square yards needed: 384 ÷ 3 = 128 square yards.

QUESTION: 87

In a 60-minute gym class, 40 girls want to play volleyball, but only 10 can play at a time.
For each player to get the same amount of playing time, how many minutes should each person play?

11/2 minutes
6 minutes
30 minutes
15 minutes

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Divide the group of 40 girls by the number of girls who can play at the same time: 40 ÷ 10 = 4. This means 4 groups of girls have to share the 60 minutes or 60 minutes ÷ 4 = 15 minutes. Thus, each girl plays for 15 minutes.

QUESTION: 88

The video-rental store charges $2.00 for the first day a rented video is overdue and $1.25 for each day after that.
If a person paid $8.25 in late fees, how many days was the video overdue?

7 days
6 days
4 days
5 days

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Subtract the first day’s late charge from the total: $8.25 – $2.00 = $6.25.
Then divide the remainder by $1.25 to determine the number of additional days the video was overdue: $6.25 ÷ $1.25 = 5.
Add those 5 days to the first day the video was late, to find that the video was 6 days overdue.
