QUESTION: 17

The high-school track measures one quarter of a mile around.
How many laps would you have to run in order to run three and a half miles?

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Divide the total number of laps by the length of one lap. 31⁄2 ÷ 1⁄4. First, convert the mixed number to a fraction, then divide by 1⁄4.
7⁄2 ÷ 1⁄4 = 28⁄2, which can be reduced to 14.

Karl is driving in Austria, where the speed limit is posted in kilometers per hour. The car’s speedometer shows that he’s traveling at a rate of 75 kilometers per hour. Karl knows that a kilometer is about 5⁄8 of a mile.
Approximately how many miles per hour is Karl traveling?

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A kilometer is 5⁄8 of a mile, so multiply 75 × 5⁄8, or 75⁄1 × 5⁄8 = 375⁄8.
Divide 8 into 375 to reduce the fraction and determine that Karl was traveling at 47 miles per hour.

QUESTION: 19

A carpenter earns $12.30 an hour for a 40-hour week. His overtime pay is 11⁄2 times his base pay. If he puts in a 46-hour week, how much is his weekly pay?

$602.70
$492.00
$565.80
$110.70

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

$12.30 × 40 hours = $492, his base pay per week. $12.30 × 1.5 = $18.45, his overtime rate per hour. $18.45 (overtime rate per hour) × 6 (hours of overtime) = $110.70 (overtime pay). $492.00 (base pay) + $110.70 (overtime pay) = $602.70 (total pay for the week).

QUESTION: 20

An office building has 30 employees and allows 42 square feet of work space per employee. If five more employees are hired, how much less work space wills each employee have?

6 square feet
7 square feet
7.5 square feet
8 square feet

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The office has 1,260 square feet of space (multiply 42 square feet by 30 employees). With 35 employees, each employee will have 36 square feet of work space (1,260 ÷ 35), which is 6 square feet less than originally.
