QUESTION: 145

June drove for two hours at an average speed of 70 miles per hour, then drove another 90 minutes at an average speed of 65 miles per hour.
If her vehicle gets 25 miles per gallon on the highway in this speed range, about how many gallons of gas did she use for the trip?

5.4 gallons
8.2 gallons
8.4 gallons
9.5 gallons

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

First calculate the distances driven during the two legs of the trip. Leg 1: 2 hours × 70 mph = 140 miles
Leg 2: 1.5 hours × 65 mph = 97.5 miles
140 miles + 97.5 miles = 237.5 miles
Now divide the total distance traveled by the car's gas mileage rate.
237.5 miles 4 ÷ 25 mpg = 9.5 gallons

QUESTION: 146

Jonathan earns $350 before taxes every two weeks at his part-time job. His withholdings are $27.75 for federal income taxes, $5.65 for Social Security (FICA), and $12.87 for Medicare tax.
How much will his net paycheck be?

$314.73
$304.73
$303.73
$313.73

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

First, total up all the withholding amounts.
$27.75 + $5.65 + $12.87 = $46.27
Jonathan's net pay is his salary for the pay period minus the total of all the withholdings. Net pay = $350.00 − $46.27 = $303.73

A training certificate composed on a personal computer that was designed to be nine inches long and six inches wide has to be proportionately enlarged so that its length will be 12 inches.
How many inches wide will the enlarged certificate be?

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Since the certificate and its enlargement are similar (i.e., proportional) figures, the lengths will have the same ratio as the widths; if the length is increased by a given proportion, then the width will be increased by the same proportion or percentage of its original size.

A basketball team won 70% of the 40 games it played. How many games did it lose?

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

To find the number of games won, multiply the number of games played, 40, by 70% or, put differently, 0.7. 40 × 0.7 = 28
The number of games lost is the total number played minus the number won. Number of games lost = 40 − 28 = 12
