A patio measures 12 feet by 14 feet.
How many 8-inch-square paving stones are needed to pave the patio?

  1. 21
  2. 252
  3. 32
  4. 168

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

First multiply length × width to determine the area of the patio: 12 feet × 14 feet = 168 square feet. Next determine the area in square inches that needs to be covered: 168 square feet × 12 inches = 2,016 square inches. Finally, divide that answer by the size of the stones to determine the number of stones needed: 2,016 ÷ 8 = 252.



A computer programmer is making $25,000 per year. 28% of her salary is withheld for federal and state deductions.
How much is the computer programmer’s net pay?

  1. $20,000
  2. $7,000
  3. $18,750
  4. $18,000

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Calculate the amount of the deduction by multiplying her salary by the percent deducted: $25,000 × 28% = $25,000 × 0.28 = $7,000. Subtract that product from the salary to determine the net pay: $25,000 – $7,000 = $18,000.



Pam cuts a pie in half in a straight line. She then cuts a line from the center to the edge, creating a 55-degree angle.
What’s the supplement of that angle?

  1. 55 degrees
  2. 125 degrees
  3. 70 degrees
  4. 130 degrees

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When the sum of two angles is 180 degrees, the angles are said to be supplemental to each other. To find the supplement, subtract 55 from 180 (180 – 55 = 125).



A stack of lumber is 6-feet high.
If each piece of lumber is 4-inches thick, how many pieces of lumber are in the stack?

  1. 72
  2. 12
  3. 18
  4. 10

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Multiply the height of the stack in feet by 12 to determine the height of the stack in inches: 6 × 12 = 72 inches. Divide that number by 4 inches, the thickness of each board to determine the number of pieces of lumber in the stack: 72 ÷ 4 = 18.
