Janet is trying to watch her weight. A 1⁄2 cup of pudding has 150 calories. The same amount of broccoli has 60 calories.
How much broccoli can Janet eat to equal the same number of calories in the 1⁄2 cup of pudding?

  1. 2 cups
  2. 21⁄2 cups
  3. 11⁄2 cups
  4. 11⁄4 cups

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Divide the number of calories in the pudding by the number of calories in the broccoli: 150 ÷ 60 = 21⁄2. Janet can eat 21⁄2 times the amount of broccoli as she can eat pudding for the same number of calories. Multiply 21⁄2 by 1⁄2 cup (the amount of pudding that contains 150 calories) to find how many cups of broccoli she can eat for 150 calories: 2.5 × 0.5 = 1.25 or 11⁄4 cups.



The neighbor’s dog barks at a squirrel every 15 minutes at night.
If he first barks at 10 p.m., when you’re trying to fall asleep, how many times will he bark by 2 a.m., when you give up trying to sleep and decide to read a book instead?

  1. 16 times
  2. 132 times
  3. 17 times
  4. 15 times

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The time between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. is 4 hours or 240 minutes. Divide the total number of minutes in the time period by 15 minutes – the interval that the dog barks. Then add 1 because the dog started barking at the beginning of the period: (240 ÷ 15) + 1 = 17.
