A bin of bolts at the hardware store contains 7-dozen bolts when full. The stock clerk is supposed to reorder bolts when the bin is 1⁄6 full.
How many bolts are in the bin when it’s time to reorder?

  1. 14 bolts
  2. 1 bolt
  3. 84 bolts
  4. 12 bolts

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

First find how many bolts a full bin contains: 7 × 12 = 84 bolts. Then multiply the total number of bolts in a full bin by 1⁄6 to find how many bolts are in the bin when it’s 1⁄6 full:
84⁄1 × 1⁄6 = 84⁄6 = 14 bolts.



Two bicyclists head toward each other from the opposite ends of Main Street, which is six miles long. The first biker started at 2:05 going 12 mph. The second biker began peddling 4 minutes later at a rate of 14 mph.
What time will they meet?

  1. 2:13
  2. 2:24
  3. 2:29
  4. 2:34

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The first bike got a 4⁄5 mile head start (12 × 4⁄60). Therefore, by the time the second bike leaves, there are 51⁄5 miles between them (6 – 4⁄5). Their combined rate of travel is 12 + 14 = 26 mph. Let t = the number of hours the second bike travels.
26t = 51⁄5
26t = 26⁄5
t = 26⁄5 ÷ 26⁄1
t = 26⁄5 × 1⁄26
t = 1⁄5
1⁄5 of an hour = 20 minutes. The second bike left at 2:09, so both bikes will meet at 2:29.



A recipe calls for 8 ounces of black beans or red beans. The cheapest option to buy and use would be .

  1. two 4-ounce cans of black beans at $0.79 each
  2. one 8-ounce can of red beans at $1.49
  3. two 3-ounce cans of black beans at $0.59 each
  4. three 3-ounce cans of red beans at $0.65 each

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Choice (one 8-ounce can of red beans at $1.49) is the cheapest option. Calculate each answer option and compare:
Choice (two 4-ounce cans of black beans at $0.79 each): 2 × $0.79 = $1.58. Choice (one 8-ounce can of red beans at $1.49): $1.49.
Choice (two 3-ounce cans of black beans at $0.59 each): Two 3-ounce cans don’t equal 8 ounces, so this answer can’t be correct.
Choice (three 3-ounce cans of red beans at $0.65 each): 3 × $0.65 = $1.95.
