A security guard walks the equivalent of six city blocks when he makes a circuit around the building.
If he walks at a pace of eight city blocks every 30 minutes, how long will it take him to complete a circuit around the building, assuming he doesn't run into any thieves?

  1. 20.00 minutes
  2. 3.75 minutes
  3. 22.50 minutes
  4. 24.00 minutes

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Divide 30 by 8 to determine that the security guard takes 3.75 minutes to walk one city block. Multiply 3.75 by 6, the number of blocks it takes to complete the circuit, to arrive at 22.50, or 221/2 minutes.



The population of Grand Island, Nebraska, grew by 600,000 people between 1995 and 2005, one-fifth more than the town council predicted.
The town council originally predicted the city's population would grow by __________.

  1. 400,000
  2. 500,000
  3. 300,000
  4. 200,000

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Let x = the original estimate. An additional one-fifth would be 6/5x, or 120% of x.
The equation can be expressed as 1.2x = 600000.
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 1.2.
x = 500,000.

  2. 40%
  3. 661/3%

A teacher deposited $3,000 in a retirement fund.
If she didn't add any more money to the fund, which earns an annual interest rate of 6%, how much money would she have in 1 year?

  1. $180
  2. $3,006
  3. $3,180
  4. $6,000

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

To determine the amount of interest earned, multiply the principal ($3,000) by the interest rate (6%) and the number of years interest accrues (1 year): $3,000 × 0.06 × 1 = $180.
Add the interest earned to the principal to show how much total money the teacher would have: $180 + $3,000 = $3,180.
